Imagine starting up your modern, boringly silent car and the interior is filled with the thrilling sound of a powerful Super Sports Car engine…Shift in the first gear, hit the gas pedal and the driving experience will really excite you! In every phase of driving - accelerating, decelerating, shifting, cruising and idling — the sound is so convincing that it actually fools your senses to believe that you are driving the real thing, a Super Sports Car!
SoundRacer makes almost any car sound like a super sports car. No installation, just plug into the cigarette lighter socket, select a frequency for the car stereo receiver and turn up the volume

How It Works:
SoundRacer has a developed a special technology to sense and calculate the car engine rpm and produce the sounds of a powerful Super Sports Car engine. The sound changes as you drive and SoundRacer even increases the speed of the engine sound so that you can drive at a normal speed and still get a very exciting engine sound. See under Tips and Tricks in the User manual how you can change the rpm increase ratio.
SoundRacer detects the small signals from the alternator on the 12Volt system in the car, it does not use ignition pulses. That is why it also works on diesel cars. Manual or automatic transmission makes no difference for SoundRacer, it works on both types but of course the rpm response is different on automatic transmission cars with hydraulic torque converter, the rpm increases as soon as you press the gas pedal.
A built in FM transmitter transfers the sounds on a selectable frequency to the car stereo system.
It also works as a standard Car FM-transmitter for MP3 players, such as iPod and iPhone, with a line in socket that provides an input for playing music on the car stereo. A cable with 2 x 3,5 mm stereo plugs are supplied in the box. As soon as you plug in the cable in the line in socket on SoundRacer, the engine sound is disconnected. The other end of the cable you just plug into the headphone socket on your music player and then the music is heard in the car speakers

"Following the success of the first generation of SoundRacers V8 & V10 we are proud to present the SoundRacer V12 with genuine Ferrari V12 engine sound!
Sound from a 1980 Ferrari 512BBLM, recorded at the Mugello racetrack in Italy in 2008.The engine is a 4.942 liter / 301.6 cu in Type F102 BB LM V12. 500 bhp / 373 KW @ 7000 rpm.
In addition to the exciting Ferrari V12 sound we have developed simulated exhaust pops and bangs that are typical for a hard driven, racing tuned engine when the throttle is released."
