Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybird Sound

Today Volvo has asked their Facebook fans about their suggestions on what the Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid should sound like when it is driving on just the electric motors. The idea is simple. When the car drives using the electric motor it is very quite and therefore can be dangerous to pedestrians who will not be alerted by the usual motor noise.
So Volvo decided to "give it a noise."

People on Facebook have suggested sounds like the old T5, T6, R, D5, V8 and so on and so on. Some even suggested that owner should be able to change the sound himself which I think would be a genius feature.

Or maybe you think that creating an artificial noise just because the car is quite, isn't a very good idea? Electric cars are better for the environment partly because they are quite, so why should we spoil it?


I would love to hear your opinions on this matter.

Volvo PV 830 for sale

Today I have found a very rare car for sale Volvo PV 830. This was a successor to the PV 800-810 manufactured in the 1940's. It was originally produced as a taxi but has also served as an ambulance, or a school bus because it could carry up to 9 passengers.
The car on offer was produced in 1954 and is a project car in a good condition. It cost £3950 which for such a rare car is a very good price.
