Honda Civic Type Rs have a speaker system that makes more impressive engine sounds for the driver. Maybe Ferrari can go with that

I don't think you understand the mindset. It's not about mimicking something good, it's about having something good. Your 2$ Casio watch is more accurate than a Rolex, yet people still go for the Rolex

EVs bring performance in the same way Audible brings performance to "reading", ie it's a complete different experience, and some people prefer the old way.

No performance oriented person look at Tesla specs and drool, sure you smoke a fefe in a straight line, add a few turns and quick decel/accel and it's a whole other story. The m3 battery alone weight 1/3rd of a whole Ferrari

Cars like the Lamborghini Urus do that and replay fake engine sounds through the speakers, and it's an absolute abomination
nobody who buys Ferrari for what the brand represents and delivers is accepting this fake approach, thats for cheap brands
