I do understand that electric cars are the future, once they sorted out charging and distances.

But.... I will miss the sound of the internal combustion engine with a good exhaust. Future generations will miss out and never understand.

Why would they want to make something new and different sound like something old???

My god... be original and make a new sound or are they that unimaginative.

Well, a couple of seasons ago when F1 downgraded engine size, they messed about with the exhaust systems to get a better sound.
Plus, if you are crossing the road on foot, you will not hear those electric things coming ....

I nearly got run over in Tesco by an Toyota Running on Electric mode.....didn’t make a sound.
Almost as bad as those mobility scooters that run around the shopping arcades on stealth mode!

When I was working down in China, the bloody electric mopeds that they have to use in the city's by government decree to try and cut down the smog (no chance by the way) are a pain in ass, you have got to have eyes in the back of your head.

Electric cars replacing the internal combustion engine wholesale any time soon ......... Space, 1999. We're a long way off yet though hybrids are gathering momentum but still a 'cottage industry' by comparison at this moment in time. :D

At 52 I doubt I'll see the internal combustion engine completely eclipsed in my driving lifetime.

It takes that long for the signal from my brain to reach my left foot and let the clutch out.

3 million quid for something made in the corner of a t-shirt factory, that didn't hit 60mph and was on racing slicks haha i bet there are a few orders though. Id rather have a tesla roadster for 250k which will accelerate just as fast if not faster, will most likely go alot further and you can actually use!
