Electric vehicle with I6 or V8 sound? Audi presents the solution

Electric cars are virtually silent at speeds up to 25 km/h ( 15mph), because of that the risk to others is obvious. This is the reason, why Audi is working on the acoustics of the EVs. You will be able to choose between a sound of a six-cylinder engine, which according to us is the best or the silky smooth V8. The sounds of combustion engines are a constant of road traffic that everyone can associate with a car. “The obvious approach would be to work on the basis of the familiar sound of a
