The e-tron might live in Ogmore. Makes the strangest/coolest sound.
They have a speaker that is designed to rumble below 25mph so pedestrians who don't use their eyes much still have half a chance! My Taycan does the same - its a weird warbly spacy bassy sound!

I like it myself, makes it sound like something from Blade Runner.

That's where I saw the Corvette, heading into the car park. Guessed there was something on somewhere.

These Taycans are so common now biggrin

There's a baby blue one in St Brides Major that really stands out.

Good looking car though, the first electric car that really interests me.

There's a few more Taycans around the Porthcawl area that I know of. They are good looking cars but I must admit I prefer the Audi e-tron GT. There's a few of them around here too.

Yellow Lotus Elise in Bridgend today.

Orangey red Lamborghini Huracan Evo from Ewenny to Bridgend today.

It pulled alongside me at the Ewenny roundabout and I had to wind the window down for a listen. It has the weirdest exhaust note at idle I've ever heard, really off beat and almost artificial sounding.

It didn't disappoint when it pulled away though which is where it really matters cloud9

There is another e-tron GT in Porthcawl as of Saturday. It probably won't be out and about for a day or two as taking 36 hours to charge off a 3 pin plug!
