We might be looking at the first proper electric hot hatch in the form of the Abarth 500e. And we're hearing it too, because this car uses a huge subwoofer on the outside to mimic the noise of the petrol car. And it's LOUD! Alex Legouix takes a closer look (and a listen).

We hated fake noises on cars with actual exhausts and now this is just worse still. When we went from horses to cars we didn’t need the cars to sound like horses.

For the fake engine sound they should make it a small child making car noises, or probably more appropriate, the 'My Little Pony' cartoon theme song. I didn't think there would be a way to make the 500 worserer, but Fiat have managed it.

So you take out the ICE to put an Electric motor to then add fake ICE noises... I don't know, if you are going to put noises rather make something sound kind of electric, ditching one of the attractive points of abarths, the engine and the sound, making it way heavier and then adding fake combustion engine noises seems wrong to me.

As long as you can turn the music off don't have an issue with the engine fakery - for me it's about the experience and tricking your brain into feeling rewarded when you are heavy with your right foot of which sound is a large part of it.

@FakeButt Год назад

I guess for tuning EVs there is not much room for improvement left, the whole battery/motors/BMS is a whole package designed and optimized to work with each other and its not easy to just put in a bigger motor (or tune it) to get more horse power. You can tune it a little bit so you sacrifice range for more power but there is nothing drastic to improve. Perhaps that's why they decided to make it make ICU noises, to stand out and be intentionally obnoxious. Isn't that the reason why people by Fiat 500 Abarths?

@quintennijs6138 Год назад

@FakeButt Год назад

@Neojhun Год назад

Blatantly false. Abarth is just a sub brand of Fiat. This is not tuning this just OEM Warranty covered spec. The lawyers and sales team at Fiat have blocked the engineers from having any fun. This could easily be as powerful as a Bolt EV which is 200hp and 266lb/ft (360nm), it is limited by FWD traction after all.

@Neojhun Год назад

@@quintennijs6138 Factually wrong. BEV drive trains have massive potential for more power as long the Stock Motors does apply a high C Rating load on the battery. At 150hp 111kw from a 42kWh battery that is an absurdly LOW stress C-Rating of 2.64C. Such a battery should easily do 4C that is equivalent of 168kW ~ 225hp. Like Turbo Tuning it involving removing resistance bottlenecks in the distribution and having adequate cooling to maintain higher performance. BEV Tuning is very much modding & tuning a Turbo engine car. Stop spreading you erroneous assumptions. These are engineering facts.

@Colby_0-3_IRL_and_title_fights Год назад

@@Neojhun You're absolutely clueless about both OEM and aftermarket. You obviously know nothing about electronics because even the least knowledgeable person wouldn't try to list a C rating as reasons a car can be tuned. You realise that the battery and motors are two separate components right? Then why are you lumping them together. You're absolutely delusional and clueless. There's a reason electric car tuning hasn't caught on other than ripping out the entire propulsion system of a car and swapping it with something else.

I wouldn’t mind if they just amplified the ev motor sound. My ev makes interesting sounds but you can barely hear it. Only noticeable on an empty road with no traffic and the windows down. (This is before they added pedestrian speakers).

@ariefghani2380 Год назад

One of the reasons why people buy EV is because it is silent especially cars with proper noice dampener. Also why the heck didn't Abarth put in at least a 150kWh electric motor. A syn r motor is just fine Abarth doesn't even need to use the pm syn r motor to reduce costs

@burgienl Год назад

Actually, until now the sound a car makes is part of how you control a car. The faster a car goes the more noise it makes, meaning that you can actually hear if you're driving too fast. You have three indicators to how fast you're going, visually (the world outside your car), the noise it makes and what your speedometer tells you. Take the sound away and changes are you will be driving faster than before.

@malph9216 Год назад

155 mile range is poor, considering this will be practically unacheivable.....and if you take into account that FIAT themselves have said that if you use the heater on the standard 500e, the range will be reduced by around 40%. So that leaves well under 100 miles of range. So we have what is, in practice, a 2+2 that will cost well in excess of £30k that makes a ridiculous noise and can't really take you anywhere but on the weekly shop......which probably won't fit in it anyway.

Unfortunately this also shows how having an electric motor is also limiting, more power, less range, the power unit is actually the same so its just a computer/software update.
