V8 Engine Sound Effects

V8 Engine sound effects from sports cars and from armour. Onboard recordings of a grand tourer, a twin-turbo supercar and a convertible, from start-up to idle, revs and acceleration through the range. Then the heavy side. Cold War armoured patrol cars recorded inside and out, plus a light tank, a drag car, a van and a combat boat with V8s of their own.

The sports cars are recorded Onboard, most of them outside as well, with the engines taken from start-up through idle, revs and the full range. That means a chase can stay in the cabin or cut to the car on the road outside. The military vehicles bring a heavier side: armoured patrol cars recorded inside, outside and around the mechanics, all at once on synchronised mics, so the perspective can be chosen in the mix. They suit a war film or a Military Vehicle in a game. The light tank and the combat boat add more unusual V8s, and like the rest, they are recordings of the real vehicles.
