Courageous men here for driving on dangerous roads
Very impressive. However, it kinda sounds like a blender. Which makes whole thing look somewhat comical

Well, that's because it IS a blender.

True, electric vehicles sound horrible, when compared with combustion engine vehicles.
Well, that's because it IS a blender.
I can ear that sound whenever I want in my city, I just need to take the subway. I can swear its electric trains sound almost exactly the same...just going a tad slower, and the scenery surely is less interesting.
I'll casually drop this here....

Ah yes. The 8C.
Given the current trends, it is very much possible that we will never get a better sounding car.

Well, they had some rough years in the middle.
But 8C? Yeah that one is a stuff of legends.

Well we probably had at least one in the meantime

(yes I know that's still an 8C under the skirt but...that sound...)

You don't say!
That's the Alfa Romeo Arna. Yes, they really made it, together with Nissan (Alfa Romeo Nissan Automobili). Stuff of legends, in its own way.
Genuinely shivers down my spine. Why it does that?
Because you're a person of good tastes? Nothing can beat the music of a naturally aspirated V engine.
Seriously though, that Volkswagen I.D. R. is a great piece of engineering, mocking it was not my intention. It's just that I like to think I'm a product of my time, toddlers of today maybe will refer to the buzzing of an electric car in the same adoring way we old boots refer to those noisy and smelly internal combustion engines of old. That car is still a beast though!
That said, for additional shivers
, I'd like to point you to another video:[video=youtube;qZJBB04GuD8]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZJBB04GuD8&t=257s[/video]
That's from the channel of an Italian guy testing quite a lot of iconic cars, and doing it in a very competent and detailed way. Audio and video production are very good quality, and English subs are pretty spot on to understand what he's saying about the car. Probably the best track test of an 8C that can be found around (yes, even better than Top Gear's!
).Yeah, the thing is, I don't like Volante nearly as much. Of course if somebody gave it to me, I'd be more than happy to take it.Well we probably had at least one in the meantime
