[Buchanan DTR]

Not sure if others have seen this but seems there's an upgrade for petrol cars.

Morning,

I think this is supposed to be shown on the 1st of April ?.

Kind regards,

Tom

OTA updates for A2s are when people share their problems on here via wifi.

Will for sure share that video on April 1
A joke or not, where does the sound come from?
Changing the firing order is of course out of the question without new cams and/or crank.
From a loudspeaker like on a BMW i8?

The sound is from a completely different video - I very much doubt you could generate that kind of sound from an onboard speaker ?
On closer inspection the description says that the sound supposedly comes from (if my googling can be trusted) a TVR engine.


Another thing altogether maybe, but with the right engine and exhaust (a 1.6 from a Lupo GTI, possibly) you can at least make an A2 sound pretty good in real life as well so it's not completely unrealistic I suppose:

The Sebring twin tailpipe on Pearl makes a pleasing noise, just a little growl without being a Max Power boy racer.

Shared that "Gone wild" video today, some friends of mine where "April fools"
An A2 that sounds like an AJP flat crank V8, a bit funny I must say.
