Recreating The Top Gear Theme With Car Engine Noises

You'll Need A Corvette, A Mazda RX-8 And A Ferrari Supercar 04-Jan-10

James May gets one of the coolest briefs of all time - to re-create the Top Gear theme tune using car engine noises.

To do it, he samples a variety of cars, ranging from the supercar Enzo Ferrari to a classic Chevrolet Corvette to modern cars like the Suzuki Swift and the Mazda RX-8 and even a construction dumper.

Unfortunately....the end result, as they note in the video, is a bit like a "fat, talentless shop assistant farting."

Sounds like they have an opportunity here to release the samples and see what others could do with the sounds......

There are a lot of sound artists out there who could do a lot more with that sure, but what would be cooler would be to hook up a dynamometer to a MIDI keyboard.

Oh, and don't let Diego Stocco near it. Lighting an Enzo on fire is a no no.
