V8 sound effects, the real thing. A V8 burbles at idle, and when it opens up the whole street knows about it. Every time. American muscle, European supercars, a big luxury SUV, a heavy truck and some proper old classics are all in here. Starts, idles, revs and pass-bys, close up and far off. No faking it with a slowed-down leaf blower.

A lot of these were recorded with several microphones at once: on the engine, by the exhaust, inside the cabin and out by the road. That means you can cut between perspectives without a Muscle Car or a supercar changing character. They end up in chase scenes, racing games, trailers and the odd Burnout, anywhere a car needs to sound expensive or angry. A question that comes up: why do some V8 engine sounds burble while others scream? It's the crankshaft. American muscle tends to rumble, flat-plane supercar engines go higher and harder, and both kinds are in here.
