There's No Replacement for Displacement

OK, so this is quite possibly the worst car accessory I've seen in a long time. Maybe not quite as bad as the fake front mount intercooler, but still.... If you are one of the many unfortunate Americans suffering from the dreaded 4-cylinder affliction**, car accessory manufacturer in.pro has a solution for you. This awesome accessory connects to your car's tach wire and your car's speaker system, and will play a selection of four different motor sounds through your car's speakers. You can choose from an "Italo V8", 6-cylinder-Boxer, Rallye, and a Monoposto (an open-wheeled F-1 style car).

Really, in.pro? I mean... Really?!

Press release after the jump.

Press Release:

V8 Power from the Radio

in.pro. presents the Virtual-Motor:

• Virtual engine sounds from the car hi-fi system
• Just plug it in
• Four possible types of sound: Italo V8, 6-cylinder-Boxer, Rallye, Monoposto

Be it a revved-up V8 Italian super sports car, or the distinctive six-cylinder sound of a boxer engine, the sound of the engine forms the character of a car and ideally makes your hairs stand on end just by starting the engine up. Thanks to the new Virtual-Motor from in.pro. every driver can now experience this indescribable feeling, without having to spend a fortune on a new sports car. Thankfully it is easy to attach and does not represent any problems that cannot be overcome by anybody. Simply remove the car radio from the slot, insert the sound module of the Virtual-Motor into the ISO plug and run the supplied cables to the engine compartment to pick up the rpm-signal. Done! It is not necessary to do much of a setup, all you need to do is set the individual idle speed. The further operation of the unit is controlled by the supplied mini remote control and the sound is emitted via the radio loud speakers.

With the press of a button you can choose from four different engines. In a split second the car can therefore acoustically have an Italian-V8, a 6-cylinder boxer, an engine of a rallye car or a formula car under the bonnet. Guarantees looks of amazement!
