Hyundai has an Ionic 5 N edition EV coming out where in race mode, it requires "gearshifts" to go faster. If you don't change gears, the engine will "max out" at a fake RPM while making fake engine noises until you tap the upshift paddle and honestly, as weird as it sounds, it's exactly why people still drive manual transmission sports cars and I kind of love an EV can turn it on and off at a whim for fun.
Yes, it's an artificial simulacrum, but a good one:
