Tesla Model X Plaid family SUV vs. $304K Lambo EVO. I can understand missing the noise - but a heavy family friendly kid, dog and grocery hauler waving bye bye to one of the most in-your-face and iconic supercars on the planet? I'm sure the Lambo owner found that boring as hell! 
Imagine what we'll see when they decide to make a serious performance car.
IC car sound engineers have been feeding us carefully tuned, simulated and enhanced engine and exhaust notes for years now. So why not just dial up your soundtrack of choice when you set your driving mode on the touch screen? Flat-plane crank? Big block V8? Maybe even Def Leppard or Beethoven's 5th - take your pick and engage warp drive -woohoo!

Edit - I just actually watched the video right through. Nice sounds for sure from the Huracan. The Tesla was silent inside but I'm sure if you cracked the windows a bit accelerating to 144 mph, the G forces and wind noise would make it sound and feel like an F-14 hitting the afterburners on a carrier launch.

So a fake exhaust with no engine feel is exciting to you. Be my guest.

FWIW, a new Jeep Cherokee supercharged TrackHawk will beat most of our Cobras in stoplight drag competitions even with a little old lady behind the wheel. With 700+ horsepower and launch control all she's got to do is just punch it and hold the wheel straight. Plus, she can tow me home when I twist off my half-shafts trying to keep up out of the hole.  https://www.jeep.com/grand-cherokee/performance.html |

What more fun to drive. A cobra. Or a trackhawk. I think we all know the answer. Cobra are fun to drive who cares if they are not the fastest car in the road. No other car feels like a cobra. FACT.

Put a Trackhawk beside a Cobra at a gas pump or show and shine - which do you think will get more attention?

No. An SUV doing 0-60 under 3 seconds with a 144 mph quarter mile trap speed is exciting to me. Every current Mustang, Camaro or whatever you choose has an enhanced and "tuned" exhaust note. Be my ... ah never mind
