Fisker Karma hybrid sports car generates motor noise through external speakers

Fisker Karma hybrid sports car

Damn your hybrid electric sounds sexy….. well, I have never really heard anyone say that but for those who choose to go electric there may be an option to rev up to the big boy sounds of their gas burning V-8 cousins.

Fisker Karma, the maker of the “$80,000 plug-in hybrid” have hit upon an appropriately high-tech solution: speakers placed inside and out that allow drivers to give their rides any sound they want, including one described as “like something between a Formula One car and a jet plane.” Interesting, to be sure — but seeing as the Karma can hit 125mph and go from 0-60 in six seconds, we’d be happier if that rig just screamed at people to get out of the left lane.
