I hear an engine and a gear shift. Sounds like an AMG in tour mode to me.
I don't really hear anything. Doubt it's a 135 though. Why would they use a [seemingly] fully built Emira body/interior for testing? I also doubt the EV setup would just fit in.

Maybe worth mentioning that I was listening in very good headphones and the engine note I hear is quiet and very low-end bass-y. If listening on a laptop or at low volume, might be lost.
Edit: Yep just listened on my laptop and didn't hear anything. In the noise canceling headphones I can hear the engine note. Very quiet, but definitely there.

Could be the new third location: Wuthel⁉️
Agree, there's a low end engine growl I can make out.
Its also vivid red with a black pack for those considering it!

True, but at least US buyers won't have to worry about CARB certification. 🙊
This car will probably be released in the US before the Emira.

If they pull their fingers out and get it out the door in 2025 they won’t be making many Emiras because what is the incentive of upping production if it means more equipment just to change to the new EV. Sounds like they will need all the space they can get at Hethel.This car will probably be released in the US before the Emira.

They’re constructing three new buildings at Hethel - new production hall for the EV sports car line, with logistics and office buildings….
There's the MG

I’m hoping they change their mind and keep making updated versions of the Emira for the next 30 years and as AMG or Audi to supply a 4.0 V8 turbo for it.

Are we talking hybrid or EV with fake loud exhaust?

EV = Electric Vehicle
with (fake) 126 db exhaust
Maybe try Google if you need more specific answers, I'm sure its out there.

I’ve driven the Plaid and it may be fast but has no soul. Having a fake exhaust won’t be the same because EVs have no gears to go through.
