I didn't see it in its entirety - thanks for posting.
It still seems a bit strange not having any engine noise accompanying a performance car but in time I expect we'll re-calibrate our ideas of what a performance car should sound like.

I did about 210km/h on the autobahn last time I was in Germany. It was surprisingly difficult to find the space to do so between traffic, roadworks and the speed-limited zones near large population centres.
300km/h?
