This video provides us with our first chance to hear the Ferrari EV\u2019s synthesized soundtrack in action.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/09\/ferraris-first-ev-spied-testing-in-maranello-with-maserati-guts\/\">Ferrari\u2019s First EV Spied Testing In A Maserati Shell<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The clip was filmed outside of Ferrari\u2019s headquarters and shows an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">all-electric test vehicle<\/a> cruising at low speed. While the engineer behind the wheel was taking things very easy, the mule emits a faint rumble and burble reminiscent of a V8 engine. It\u2019s only subtle, but it\u2019s obvious some fake sounds are coming out from the rear of the car.<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-a-mid&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>  window._taboola = window._taboola || [];<br \/>\n  _taboola.push({<br \/>\n    mode: &#8216;thumbnails-oc-2&#215;1&#8217;,<br \/>\n    container: &#8216;taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    placement: &#8216;Mid Article Thumbnails Organic&#8217;,<br \/>\n    target_type: &#8216;mix&#8217;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>Ferrari\u2019s original patent suggested that the sound device would be associated with what\u2019s happening within the drivetrain itself. In other words, it\u2019ll remain quiet and calm as the EV is driven in a docile manner before roaring into life as a driver starts leaning on the throttle.<\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ferrari-EV-Mule-004.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Ferrari\u2019s EV Makes Fake V8 Sounds: Is This What Buyers Want?\" width=\"2250\" height=\"1502\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Ferrari-EV-Mule-004-1024x684.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><figcaption>Baldauf for Carscoops<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>        <\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>The mule in this video is very similar to the one our spy photographers snapped earlier this month.
