If you’re a real car nerd, you must have wondered what a seven, nine, or 11-cylinder engine must sound like, even though such a thing would never be produced. Thanks to the power of simulation, that question has now been answered. Slap on your headphones, and listen to the video above to hear what an inline 11 sounds like. As it turns out, it sounds a lot like a V10, with a dash of low-down bass typically associated with a V12.
The simulation you see above is the brainchild of YouTuber AngeTheGreat. He created an open-source engine simulator which is available for free online. The simulator creates an internal combustion engine to the creator’s exact specifications. Why? Well, why not? We respect this kind of dedication to automotive nerdiness. There is an actual reason, but we’ll get to that later.
