How electric sound is Born
- The elements of nature that characterize the brand inspire the AVAS sound of the first 100% electric CUPRA model
- The sound is exclusively revealed on the world premiere of The Impulse, the CUPRA Tribe’s new #podcast, where #antoninolabate and #francescasangalli explain its creation process
- The episode is now available on CUPRA’s official channel on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Ivoox
Although an electric car produces zero emissions, it can still generate an infinite number of emotions. This is the case of the CUPRA Born, the brand’s first 100% electric model, which not only delivers excitement through its design, but also through its sound. The CUPRA team has designed an exclusive sound that has now been released for the first time in the premiere episode of the CUPRA Tribe’s #podcast, The Impulse, now available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Ivoox.
- The importance of sound. By not having a combustion engine, electric cars barely produce sound by themselves. For this reason, the European Union stipulates that all electric vehicles must make an AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System) sound when traveling at less than 20 km/h in order to alert pedestrians and other road users. In the case of the Born, its sound is clearly perceptible beyond 40 km/h. This acoustic novelty is part of the revolution of the car set to be the impulse of the company’s electric transformation, according to Labate: “the CUPRA Born is a new hero for a new generation, a gamechanger in its segment.” And its sound had to reinforce this essence. Sangalli describes it as “super emotional, it has this luminous and metallic things, just like the car”.
- Born nature. The AVAS of the Born was designed using four key materials for the CUPRA brand: stone, copper, wood and carbon fibre. The city of Barcelona also played an important role in giving the car its character: “The CUPRA Born has the purpose to highlight the spirit that comes from Barcelona, and it’s something that combines perfectly this with the unexpected emotion when you drive” says Labate. “this car represents the perfect match between performance and electrification” he adds.
- A participatory impulse. In this first episode of The Impulse, the guests also spent some time answering questions from the company employees, for example about the inclusion of sound in the brand’s digital areas or how sound will affect life in cities.
The next episodes of The Impulse will delve into different topics such as the new CUPRA TV series ‘RPM’, Extreme E competition, and the creation of a new brand with the fashion brand Mikakus. The first episode of The Impulse, ‘How sound is Born’ it’s available on CUPRA’s Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Ivoox channels.
