People who own the Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV in the US will soon have the option of an external speaker that emits the sound of a V8 exhaust.

US tuning firm and exhaust specialist Borla unveiled its 'Active Performance Sound System,' a speaker that is placed underneath the car's rear bumper. This system projects the booming 5.0L V8 sounds of Ford's Mustang muscle car - making it feel as if you're driving the real internal combustion engine car.

Borla says that their sound system is fed data from the on-board computer of the Mustang Mach-E electric car. This allows them to create an accurate depiction of the exhaust noises of a muscle car while it is idling, accelerating, cruising or slowing down.

"After all, who wants to watch Fast n' Furious movies or play Forza (video games) with no sound? They go to great lengths to ensure sound is prevalent in those mediums for a reason." Borla's vice president of sales and marketing, David Borla, said in a media statement.

Borla has not yet announced how much its electric 'exhaust system' will cost. The company plans to release more details at next month's Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas.
