Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Stunning New Porsche 918 Spyder - Another Hybrid

[Matt Boyd (ferrari308driver]

I thought I read the 16 mile range is if you go fully electric, which
typically wouldn't be the mode folks use -- but would be an additional
option for short trips? Sounds pretty cool for a hybrid.

The thing I'm most worried about in the future of electric cars is the sound
(or lack thereof). I keep envisioning 15-20 years from now the different
series of auto races, from F1 to Nascar, with silent cars. Do Tesla owners
put external speakers on their cars and hook up some sensor to the
accelerator or somewhere so it can simulate "normal" sounds?
