Y ahora se paga por coches que hagan ruido

Tantos años y tantos esfuerzos de los ingenieros de las empresas automovilísiticas para reducir el ruido del coche y, ahora que se consigue con los modelos híbridos, van y les ponen altavoces para que suenen como coches de verdad:

But the electric motor also has an unexpected side effect: It is completely silent, Fisker says, which might worry pedestrians with bad eyesight and disappoint sports car freaks keen to hear the roar of their machines.

Fisker says the solution is speakers the company has added inside and outside the vehicle. One option will allow drivers to make their car sound ''like something between a Formula One car and a jet plane,'' and certainly loud enough to be heard by pedestrians.

Sea para presumir de coche o por seguridad (para que los peatones lo oigan), la idea de los altavoces es bastante curiosa
