In another forum I was commenting how important the motor is to auto manufacturers going forward. It's one of the distinguishing features in the ICE arena, along with chassis design that is the brand of a company. Many other parts are 3rd party, but owning the motor design is the heart of the brand.

I'd be happy with the Delorean sound from Back to the Future, accompanied by electrical sparks when achieving 88 miles per hour.
