The Italian marque is exploring how its future sports cars could keep their signature engine roar rather than drive in silence. With speakers broadcasting on the outside, of course!

Shiny, low-slung, probably red, with a small horse on the front.

I don’t get sports cars. If I wanted something ruinously expensive and unpleasantly loud, I’d have a child. You can’t teach a Ferrari to make a cup of tea.it is making them quieter, about time. TheyNo, they’re launching a fully electric car in 2025 and that means tackling the question of what happens to Ferrari’s signature roar, “an expression of pure joy borne [sic] from world-class engineering”, according to one excitable dealer’s website.

Well, if the new car is electric, presumably they get rid of the roar. Cutting out noise and air pollution together, brava Ferrari! Mamma mia, no. And actually, the lack of engine noise from electric cars has been demonstrated to be a serious safety hazard.Well, you can barely hear them when they’re travelling under 20mph and that means they pose a serious danger to pedestrians and cyclists. Blind and partially sighted people are particularly at risk. That’s why since 2021, electric car manufacturers have been required to produce sounds at low speeds, called Avas . It’s usually a sort of whirring or electronic kind of noise.
