I love that silent performance is becoming an option. One of the most intriguing aspects about the NSX for me is the quiet mode. I believe a young man once told me, “ Real G’ s move in silence like lasagna. ” Hmph! Life lessons in there.
My dream is a vehicle in which I can go WOT, hear the engine as if it were miles away, then hit a button at 5,000 rpm and instantly transform that restless, distant murmur into an unbridled banshee’s shriek. A kind of liquid sound so dense that it pours into the once void cabin with so much force and glory that I feel as if I will certainly drown in that symphony. That, my friends, would be the magnum opus I’d play on every outing.
*Yes, I am quietly making engine noises right now and then screaming my ass off once VTEC kicks in, yo!*

There’s an argument to be made for a jetliner-like high-pitched purr sound.

As an aside, I love the almost-grilleless look of the refreshed Model S!

A few months ago I watched a Model S pull a hole shot in front of me. There was something very compelling about watching that big girl’s rear end tuck down a bit, and then hustle away with barely a sound.

Lil Wayne is quite a smart, young man.
After all, life’s just a beach and he’s just playin in the sand.
