Really? I have no interest in electric cars and don't really much care if they "beat" any of these.
There is no character to these electric vehicles, no soul. To me, part of the sports-car or any vehicle experience, is the sound of the engine and roar of the exhaust note along with the little quirks that are sometimes unique to that vehicle or model. If you take that away I feel like it also takes away the joy and connectedness that goes along with driving. Like taking away manual transmissions.
Yes, electric vehicles are fast but I don't think they appeal to all the senses like a combustion engine. I would be more likely to accept a hybrid sports car then full electric which to me, is the best of both worlds. |
Yeah like the smell of gasoline, oil stains in your driveway, and the experience of having to go to a gas station. Not going to miss it. Maybe I'm just getting old but even loud exhaust is starting to annoy me. Used to have a 135 with a cat back, mustang with full exhaust, but really all that noise is tiresome.
