Was it BMW who piped engine noise via the cars stereo in one of the electric sports cars?
You could imagine some kind of speakers being developed for your lid so that you could hear the engine/exhaust noise.

Yes - the i8.
Imagine that - a lid where you could decide how many cylinders you wanted for the day

it is surprising there are no cooling vents for the battery and electronics, they are more efficient the colder they are .
