[Healeys] Electric motor in a Healey

[Richard Mayor]

I saw a show on cable awhile back.   Not one I usually watch so I don’t recall the name. Something about trucks.  They installed a speaker system that replicates engine exhaust sounds and is calibrated to change with car speed.  You can choose from number of different engine sounds.

And with all that additional weight (many batteries) I’m sure it will do better in crash tests, right?
