We're inundated with our fair share of press releases from aftermarket companies, but this one takes the proverbial cake in '08. A firm by the name of in.pro. is marketing a system to the worst-of-the-worst poseurs in the form of the Virtual Motor.
http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/02/10200_lieferumfang_250-op.jpgThe system taps into the RPM sensor and then plays a choice of four different engine noises through the vehicle's stereo. What high-revving sounds you ask? Well, you can either be serenaded by an "Italo V8," a six-cylinder boxer, a "rallye" engine or... wait for it... a Monoposto; what we're assuming is an F1 car's 15,000-rpm shriek.
We're taking suggestions for the most ridiculous vehicle to be equipped with the Virtual Motor in the comments below, but we'll start off with the Daewoo Matiz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daewoo_Matiz) -- equipped with the 800cc three-cylinder.
