Alfa Romeo is well on its way to escaping the internal combustion engine. But this does not mean that the Italians will pump artificial sound into the electric cars.
Alfa Romeo must be exclusively an electric car brand.
By 2027 at the latest, the Italians will sell only electric cars. At least as it seems right now. But this does not mean that you have to cheat with artificial engine noise in the electric cars.
In fact, the brand's managing director Jean-Philippe Imparato totally rejected the idea when the new Alfa Romeo Milano was presented.
Yet Imparato also believes that the brand can keep its DNA and heritage alive without the sound of an internal combustion engine.
