Literally!!

Lotus and Harman International have developed the “HALOsonic suite of noise solutions” to generate—get this—engine sounds inside the vehicle through the audio system. And it also produces similar noises outside the vehicle through front- and rear-mounted speakers, so as to provide a warning to pedestrians that may not have noticed the flashy sports car barreling towards them. There are no fewer than four driver-selectable engine sounds from which to choose, two of which have been designed to mimic engines—a V-6 and, yes, a V-12—a third that makes a “futuristic” sound, and a fourth that combines the two types of sounds.
