2009 Brabus Tesla Roadster

Tesla Roadster is an electric vehicle from America. And because it's electric, it makes no noise as it's moving.

Brabus have decided to take one, and play about with it.

To this:

(from Brabus press release) 'To give the sports car a more exciting sound the BRABUS electronics specialists have developed a ‘space sound generator.’ The occupants on-board the Tesla Roadsters can choose from several simulated engine sounds including that of a typical V8 combustion engine, a racecar engine and two futuristic soundscapes named ‘Beam’ and ‘Warp.’ The volume of the sound is dependent on the momentary power output of the electric motor.'

Sorry? Futuristic soundscapes? WHY? Imagine an OAP crossing the road and all they hear is 'Warp' coming at them. They'd think aliens are beaming them up! Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of having pre-set sounds but why make synthetic sounds? The 'typical' V8 engine and racecar engine sounds are a great idea - less blind people getting mowed down by electric vehicles - but to make sounds up? C'mon Brabus, you can do better than that.
