With some cars, the aggressive sound of the engine is just as important to the customer as their design. The rise of silent hybrids and EVs is giving rise to the importance of sound designers. The creators of artificial motor sound nowadays are able to reproduce astounding results, but it doesn’t compare to ripping out five kilos of sound isolation from the chassis. This is what happened to the Mustang Boss 302 and we appreciate Ford’s efforts in providing us with this exquisite audible experience. Check out our video from the Detroit motor show 2011.

Among this diversity of models, every once in a while some models randomly appear like jetsam on the beach. They stand out from all other models. These are their stories. This epitome of automotive engineering is called “Tak Tak”. The engineers transplanted an engine from a former water pump into the vehicle. Its ornate exterior is covered in hand-drawn motifs. Each model is a true individualist. The engine sings the sound of a hundred jackhammers. No need to say that its delicate shoe box construction conforms with the latest standards in aerodynamics. The Tak Tak’s design expresses a high country-factor. Click on the image for a full overview and view the video if you don’t believe us.
