Pretty cool. Sounds like Batman's car.
Hopefully one of these days they will incorporate in these electric cars a sound system so you can choose the sound of any type of engine.

They also did that in
"The Dilemma" movie.
What I think would be really cool is a digital dash/instrument display with multiple choices, and be able to mix & match, ie; gauge colors, digital or traditional looking, anything could be possible. I'm sure this will start to show up in production cars, if not already and I haven't seen it yet.

I'm willing to bet Bose is already working on something.
