Porsche Offers EV Tiger Immitation Voice, Priced At IDR 7.7 Million

JAKARTA - Porsche recently released the latest generation of one of their SUV models, the Tigers. In addition to displaying a fresher outer design, this model is now also present in the Electric Vehicle (EV) version for the first time.

With the EV version, this Tiger will not make a booming sound like the previous version, bringing a calmer driving experience when stepping on the gas pedal. However, Porsche, a German brand, provides attractive options for customers who still want to feel the distinctive sound of the 6-cylinder engine on the EV Tigers.

Reporting from InsideEVs, Tuesday, January 30, Porsche offers an option called Porsche Electric Sport Sound, which will present the sound of the internal combustion engine (ICE) with an additional fee of around US$490 or around Rp7.7 million.

Porsche menjelaskan bahwa opsi ini dirancang untuk meningkatkan pengalaman suara kendaraan dan membuatnya sound lebih emosional, memberikan isir yang dapat dinikmati baik di dalam maupun di luar kendaraan. Pemilik Macan EV dapat dengan bebas membahayakan atau mematikan fitur ini melalui layar tengah dasbor.

The Polarsche Electric Sport Sound offers an audio experience that combines elements of the spacecraft with combustion engines, creating futuristic sound and typical Porsche cars.

This kind of feature is not the first to appear in the electric vehicle automotive industry. Previously, Hyundai had presented the N Active Sound+ system on Ioniq 5 N, which presents a similar sound of combustion engines using ten speakers, eight in the cabin and two outside the vehicle with several selected themes.
