Hey, thanks for stopping by..... your thread.

I decide to get away from the ecomodder stuff so I went to Slashdot. The number one story? The Pinnin Farina Battista.
tech.slashdot.org Sportscar Manufacturer Debuts World's First All-Electric High-Performance Hypercar (newsweek.com)

Quote:
With an emphasis on the company's "Pure Sound" philosophy and drawing from music theory, the bespoke design of the car is built to have a core frequency of 54 hertz (hz). Wanting to provide an emotional experience for the driver, the organic frequency will rise in multiples of 54 hz as the speed increases.

When the car reaches 432 hz, the design of the soundscape is meant to evoke an emotional reaction that drivers come to expect from a hypercar.
What exactly is this 'emotional reaction' of which they speak, hmmm? My bet is that they are using Yamaha elctric motors, but I haven't seen confirmation. Yamaha Electric Motor for Hyper-EV | Prototype

The rest is just regular Slashdot-y stuff

Does that include home visits?

The problem with current events is they keep making more all the time.
