Your car's engine sound is "Porsche"! It’s fun as it sounds when you press the accelerator.

The "sound" that lifts the driver's spirits - that is also one of the conditions of being a sports car. Speed, the scenery visible through the window, the feel from the steering wheel, and the engine sound. Even with the same beloved car, if the sound changes, the usual roads might feel a bit fresh.

With 7 types of engine sounds, you feel like a sports car

The "Sound Racer X" is a car sound device that generates engine sounds linked to the car's engine RPM. It comes pre-installed with 7 types of sounds: the V8 of the Shelby Cobra, the V10 of the Lamborghini Gallardo and Lexus LFA, the V12 of the Ferrari 512BB-LM, the flat-six of the Porsche 911 GT3, a classic American V-twin, and an L4 from the Suzuki GSX.

It's interesting that you can change the sound according to your mood, like saying "Today I'm in the mood for Porsche" or "Next, V12." Without having to switch cars, just changing the sound coming through your ears adds excitement to your usual drive.

Sound comes along with the accelerator ON

It's not just simply playing recorded engine sounds. The Sound Racer X uses faint noise generated from the alternator to determine the fluctuations in engine RPM. The sounds generated change according to the acceleration operation.

This is a point that makes you want to play with it. You start off, raise the RPM a bit, and then ease off the accelerator. If the sounds match your actions, it's not the same as just having background music playing. Whether it's your regular shopping route or a weekend drive, before thinking about the destination, you might wonder which sound to drive with today.

No wiring required! The exhaust note comes from the speakers.

Using an FM transmitter, output from the existing car stereo. Therefore, there is no need to install new speakers or carry out extensive wiring work. It can also be used to play music as an FM transmitter and is equipped with a USB output.

The head part is adjustable in angle. These types of fun car gadgets often become a big task before installation, but it’s nice that the structure is easy to incorporate into the everyday car interior.

For advanced users, there is also a function that generates unique sounds. You can start by playing with the 7 pre-recorded types and move on to the next level when you want to delve deeper. It seems like there are various ways to enjoy it.

I want to check the compatibility with my car and start enjoying sound

What I want to check before use is the compatibility with the vehicle. The Sound Racer X utilizes noise from the alternator, so it cannot be used in some vehicles such as EVs, hybrid cars, or those equipped with energy regeneration systems. Also, even for the same car model, the degree of synchronization may differ depending on the condition of the vehicle, so please check in advance.

Without changing the car itself, just change the "sound." The "Sound Racer X" might be closer to a gadget for adults to play with in cars than a mere car accessory. Today it’s a V8, and next holiday it’s a horizontally opposed 6-cylinder. Being able to choose like that could lift your spirits even if you're just driving around the neighborhood.
