second engine just for sounds?
Discussion
just wondering has a car manufacturer ever put a second engine in that wasn't actually connected to the drivetrain just to beef up the sound a bit?
people are complaining about modern exhaust notes a lot these days so what's to stop a 20,000rpm bike engine being stuck at the back hidden somewhere to accompany the noise?

Just out of casual medical interest, for how long were you wondering this? people are complaining about modern exhaust notes a lot these days so what's to stop a 20,000rpm bike engine being stuck at the back hidden somewhere to accompany the noise?
Apparently a few cars which have 2 engines, although they also drive the wheels...

My father test drove the Twini, reckoned it was lethal. https://www.carthrottle.com/post/6-twin-engined-ca...
Maybe the closest is the BMW i3 with range extender or a builders’ van with a Honda generator in the back that the work experience kid forgot to turn off?

There's a big difference between the sound an engine makes just spinning up freely and the sound it makes under load, so there wouldn't be a lot of point, beancounters notwithstanding.
Just use the one that’s under load to make the nice engine noise and the one that’s spinning up freely to drive the vehicle? WCZ said:
