These two videos show a sports car accelerating from a stop. They show fantastic acceleration. But there's also something wrong -- do you notice it? Hint: make sure your computer sound is on.
Did you notice? No engine roar! This is the new electric sports car from Tesla Motors. Tesla claims 0-60 in under 4 seconds, and Motor Trend, AutoWeek and Road & Track seem to agree. Since it's electric there's no gasoline roar and full torque at zero rpm. Awesome!

Actually, makers of electric vehicles are going to have to address the lack-of-noise issue. I was walking in a parking lot Saturday and nearly got munched by a Prius backing out of their spot. The driver obviously didn't see me (which is odd: I'm 6'3" and 270 lbs.) but I didn't *hear* them either.
