2 days agoVW's Hottest Electric GTI Will Have Fake Gears
The electric ID. Polo GTI will add simulated engine sound, while fake shifting is planned only for a track-focused Clubsport with added power and chassis upgrades.
Last year, Porsche said that adding fake shifting to EVs made the cars "worse." It secretly toyed around with the idea and now has a prototype where engineers "could not tell the difference." The automaker is now considering adding it to their next-gen EVs. Remember last year when Porsche guffawed boisterously at Hyundai for adding fake shifting to its Ioniq 5 N? That was exactly one year ago.
