- they should just do some sort of synthesised engine noise - recorded from a TVR (the sound of pure ...)

with how bad our climate is electric is good. I would buy toyota electric car if I didnt need to haul motorbike to race track
 
I'd only go for electric if it was the ONLY car around....I need to learn to drive first (too young

No engine noise is a killer.

trouble is ,i don't think making and desposing of batterys is very climate friendly.

the sub 4 sec 0-60 doesn't supprise me as electric motors have massive amounts of torque,but i think there crap on the horse power . give me internal combustion engine every day, there are fuels out there that are better than the fossil fuels we use now its only world economics that stops us using them
 
Electric motors can be tuned to either High HP or high torque. Problem is, the more torque you get outta it, the less power, and vice versa. The way i see it, it'S just a car, I don't care if it dosen't go like stink. Anyone usuing gas guller cars is wasting precious fuel that could be used in a motorcycle
