Literally!!

Lotus and Harman International have developed the “HALOsonic suite of noise solutions” to generate—get this—engine sounds inside the vehicle through the audio system. And it also produces similar noises outside the vehicle through front- and rear-mounted speakers, so as to provide a warning to pedestrians that may not have noticed the flashy sports car barreling towards them. There are no fewer than four driver-selectable engine sounds from which to choose, two of which have been designed to mimic engines—a V-6 and, yes, a V-12—a third that makes a “futuristic” sound, and a fourth that combines the two types of sounds.

I like the sounds my awesome hybrid (pedal/electric) Songi make: a barely audible electric motor whine; the sound of the semi-slick tires (funny how they sound different when I ride on the white stripe on the edge of the highway vs the blacktop); the sound of the wind as it passes through my head cavity via the upwind and downwind ears.

I didn't know about all the electronic "lookout for me" noises. I think this is largely a solution in search of a problem...
The Evora 414E has 2.5X the torque that the "regular" Evora has, and the former goes 0-60MPH in 4 seconds flat, which beats the already incredibly quick Tesla Roadster. It will be very interesting to see how the 414E does in the FE department...
