This is a ****er!
A new product called SoundRacer. You plug it into your cigarette socket, and it picks up your rpms and gear changes to give you a V8 sound that matches your driving. They demonstrate their product in a Focus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mXbbver7p0 http://www.soundracer.se/ (Make sure you wait for the 2nd half of the video)

funny you mention that.
Mercedes skunkworks Brabus, according to unique car mag, have done just that to the Tesla Roadster. As for this thing, if it comes out as a free app for iPhone, i might just consider it just for laughs. Having said that, the XR sounds ballsy enough as it is.

They had something like this on beyond 2000 decades ago that run off rpm load and throttle posistion and it sounded _perfect_ it have V8, Ferrari, F1 etc
 I think Lotus invented that one, it also had road noise cancelation

so I can't remember what car. But I clearly remember being super impressed by that episode, the quality of that system was insane. I've even tried to find it on the net over the years. But I'm 100% Lotus made that one

I wonder why lotus did it? I doubt it was for their own cars.
I mean, the sound of a 20V 4AGE Toyota engine at about 9-10K sounds pretty good to me. Once you put the fact it's a toyota engine out of your mind that is.
