Porsche will follow Hyundai's lead and add a "virtual transmission" to its EVs in the name of driver engagement.

        or every racing movie

        Ehm, no, it’s actually every movie that has a car engine sound.

        Flat road with constant speed?
        Jup, periodic constant upshifting.

      It’s infinite gears. You upshift and the simulated revs drop then roar up again, even if you’re not accelerating. Then it does it every time you shift until you get bored.
