Default Electric Cars

These are starting to appear - from hybrids to the Lightning - a pure electric sports car. Thing is, they are all quiet, and this doesn’t help pedestrians much, especially those with poor vision.

Lotus is experimenting with making electric cars sound like petrol cars.

What is fantastic about the electric sports cars is 100% of the torque is available immediately. I think it is fantastic and hopefully the battery technology will continue to develop so it will be more practical for mass production.
