The European Commission is worried the silent operation of electric cars could mean they become a danger on the road with pedestrians.
As such it plans to bring in rules that manufactures must make a minimum volume noise in place of the 'warning' sound of an engine.
But rather than simply replicate the sounds of an engine some makers are looking at using signature sounds more akin to Star Wars.
A spokesperson for Lotus Engineering says the new Evora 414E Hybrid even makes a sound similar to the Millennium Falcon… but you don't have to dress up as Han Solo to drive it, unfortunately.
