Want your car to sound like an expensive muscle car? Now you can! NOTE: DragFX requires a compatible 3rd party hardware interface. Supported interfaces include: – OBDLink WiFi – OBDLink MX WiFi – OBDKey WLAN – Kiwi 2 for iOS – Kiwi 3 The hardware allows DragFX to connect to your vehicle's OBD interface, so that the sound produced by DragFX accurately matches your engine's actual RPM in real time. Hear the sound of a turbocharger blow-off valve when your RPM drops below a configurable threshold. DragFX can also provide an audible indication when 3 different RPM thresholds have been exceeded to assist in shifting gears. You can even listen to music while also enjoying the sound of a souped-up engine! Without the hardware, a slider allows manual control of the RPM to preview the available engine sounds.

RevIt is a car engine sound simulator for iPhone. You start a car's engine, press a virtual gas pedal and shift a 6-speed manual gearbox while the app generates the engine sound live in real time. It includes 25+ cars with V8, V10, V12, inline-6, flat-6, boxer and rotary engines. DRIVE MODE – THE ENGINE SIMULATOR Every engine sound is generated live, not a recorded loop. The sound reacts to exactly how hard you press the pedal, so no two revs sound the same. • Gas and brake pedals – press to rev, slide down to floor it • 6-speed manual gearbox – shift the H-pattern stick straight or diagonally • Rev counter, speed and gear readout with a rev limiter • Pops and bangs when you lift off the throttle, plus Straight Pipe mode for a louder exhaust • Haptic feedback that pulses with the engine • Realistic performance – each car matches its real-world 0–100 km/h time and top speed • Hold the revs at the limiter too long and the engine blows, so you have to start it again 25+ CARS, EVERY ENGINE TYPE • Cross-plane and flat-plane V8 muscle and track cars • V10 and V12 supercars • JDM cars: turbo inline-6, rotary and inline-4 • Boxer-4, flat-6 sports cars and an Italian V6 Tap the heart to save cars to your garage. FREE VS. PRO RevIt is free to download. Some features require a paid Car Sounds Pro subscription: • Free: browse all cars, save cars to your garage, and drive any car by watching a short video ad.

Verdict
