On All Girls Garage they just took one of the new fully-Electric Mustangs and installed a prototype sound system. Two speakers mount under the car, where the mufflers would be in an internal combustion Mustang. That’s hooked to a digital sound generator and amplifier.
Included in the package is a collection of sounds: Mustang, Camaro, Corvette. The manufacturer claims they will soon have over a thousand cars you can sound like.
All keyed to engine RPM and engine load and tire road noise. There’s even a different sound when the “engine” is cold versus warm.*
Maybe, just maybe all the gear heads who love their loud dragsters could be persuaded to go electric if they still sound obnoxious?
* - The video showed one of the "girls" revving up the Mustang in the garage. But... you can't do that with an electric! You hit the go pedal and it goes. There are no gears, there is no clutch. WTF?
