[@lime_plays1013]

No, it isnt. it does not have rotating bogies, so it grinds the tracks

Tolles Video

Actually it's not the engines making this sound, it's the transmissions.

[@trainsandtrams2020]

Yes of course you are right! Calling it engine sound makes it easier to understand for a wider, non-technical audience and makes it easier to find on YT.

@@trainsandtrams2020 The tram doesn’t even have engines…

[@trainsandtrams2020]

@@olskutsuikkeli Yes of course, you are right, the trams have electric traction motors. Still, the title to this video was purposefully chosen to make it more catchy and compare the Porsche tram directly to what otherwise Porsche sports cars are basically known for, their loud (combustion) engine noise.

@@trainsandtrams2020 Do you know the model name for the propulsion system? I tried looking for it on Wikipedia after seeing this video but, unlike the article for the 15 T, it's not listed.

Would be cool if Porsche made the new sportscar EV with this sound...

still better than 15T

[@MartinProavis]

No... 15T is better.

[@guesepecz9191]

15Ts are better suited for Prague's network, than 14Ts. 15T has all bogies turnable. 14T has all non turnable.

@@soniccz1363 they would have to redesign a big part of tram to be albe to turn bogies
