Toyota has experimented with sound engineering, particularly with its legendary LFA supercar’s V-10 engine. The engine, known for its unique sound, was designed in collaboration with Yamaha. Interestingly, Toyota explored incorporating the LFA’s roar into regular cars, but the results were laughable. According to Shinichi Sano, an assistant manager at Lexus, trying to replicate the LFA’s sound in a slower vehicle created a strange and unconvincing noise. The sound only matched the LFA’s incredible speed, showing how important the right sound is when paired with performance.
Toyota didn’t stop there; it also attempted to make a three-cylinder engine mimic the sound of a four-cylinder, but the result was chaotic and unintelligible. Learning from these experiments, Toyota now focuses on creating sound designs that fit the actual performance of the car. For instance, they’re developing a new four-cylinder engine named “G20E,” which promises over 400 horsepower, compared to the earlier small engines used in models like the GR Yaris and Corolla.
On another front, a new Lexus model, possibly called the LFR, is being tested and is rumored to have a powerful V-8 engine. The key takeaway is that a car’s sound should match its engine type. Yusuke Nakayama, also from Lexus, emphasizes that it’s vital to have engine sounds that reflect the car’s capabilities.
