Didn’t Hyundai already do this. They also did fake handbrake and it’s fucking awesome looking.

Why? Do Ferrari drivers really need to cycle through sound effects to feel as though they are doing it right?

[–] Hubi 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Probably because it's fun and you don't drive a Ferrari just to get to work and do chores.

Most Ferrari drivers are racecar driver wannabes with too much money. Doing vroom-vroom noises is more important to them than actual performances. Ferrari is simply catering to its childish clientele's desires.

This is fine as long as the speakers for the fake vroom vroom noises are in the inside of the car, not the outside. After all, if the drivers want to hear the noises, they can have them all to themselves.

If you want an EV to make vroom vroom noises make them yourself while you drive like a real man child.

That's what I do with my Matchbox.
