Sound Capture: Mitsubishi i-MiEV and the Sound of Silence

Road Test Editor Jonathan Elfalan tests out the Mitsubishi i-MiEV at highway speed.
You'll hear two clips here, a quick full-throttle acceleration run from 0 -- 120 km/h to demonstrate that the i-MiEV does in fact make noise when you're on it and a sound clip of the i-MiEV accelerating at freeway speeds (70 mph). The higher rpm resembles a jet engine, at a tiny fraction of the decibel level and thrust.

wow.. a car that sounds likes a 747 taking off... so people crossing the street, instead of looking at the electric car aproaching will look up at the sky, and will be hit even easier by the car...

Population reduction made easy... soo clever...!!!

Climate change is bullshit, and we're all getting shittier products because of it. This isn't a car anymore. It's an abomination.

Some say that electric cars are the future in sport and normal cars. Some say it can reach 11000 rpm and the acceleration is better than in a diesel or gasoline engine because máximum torque is available since 1000 rpm until 11000 rpm.

I say that if everything I just write is true, the future will be very clean and very comfortable.
