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. The unlock lasts until you leave that car's screen or the engine blows. The app shows ads. • Car Sounds Pro (paid): drive every car without watching videos, no ads. SUBSCRIPTION TERMS • Car Sounds Pro is offered as Weekly and Annual auto-renewable subscriptions.

Start the engine and move the throttle to hear and see the revs change. Explore inline, V and rotary engines in 3D. • A range of engines Explore Inline-3 Compact, Inline-4 High-rev, Inline-4 Turbo, Inline-5 Turbo, Inline-6 Twin, V6 Even-fire, V8 Low-rev, V10 High-rev, V12 Grand and Rotary Twin-rotor. Drag to rotate the engine, then open the expanded view to inspect moving parts such as pistons, connecting rods, the crankshaft and rotors. • Views and close-up inspection Choose a top, side, front or default view, and use two fingers to move or zoom the view. In the expanded view, you can slow the motion down 12× or see through the fixed parts to watch the parts inside, while the sound and revs stay at real speed. Piston engines also show the combustion glow and exhaust heat. • Four gearboxes Choose a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 8-speed automatic or 7-speed dual-clutch. Use the gear controls and clutch, brake and throttle pedals for the selected gearbox. Follow the engine state on the tachometer and gear display. With a manual gearbox, revs build more heavily in higher gears and you can feel the lever engage each gear. The clutch pedal shows engaged, slipping and open zones, and you can turn on a large shift lever in Settings. • Drive modes and launch control Comfort, Sport, Sport Plus and Custom drive modes change the throttle response, automatic shift points and exhaust valve sound. For Custom, choose throttle response, shifting and exhaust valve separately in Settings and save them. Sport Plus also offers launch control. • Exhaust and sound settings Change the exhaust and tuning in Settings and compare the sound from idle to high revs. Audio is generated in real time from the engine's behavior; it does not play recordings of real vehicles. • Ads and access The default inline-six engine is available without watching an ad. A confirmed rewarded ad applies the selected engine and gives that engine a 24-hour pass, stored on this device. You can keep using the current engine if its pass expires during use. When you reopen the app or return from the background after expiry, the app switches to the default engine and lets you know. If an ad cannot load, you can retry, check connection help, or keep using the current engine. Banner ads may appear at the bottom of the screen. No account or sign-in is required. The app interface is available in 17 languages, including English, Korean, Japanese and Chinese. The engines are original designs and do not reproduce any specific manufacturer or vehicle.
