They made an engine sing "We are the Champions" last year after winning the championship.

It's amazing that they can produce tones like that just through revs.

This is cool. I didn't know engines could do that.

Kinda, the car is being run from a laptop, which is programmed with the correct RPM for each tone.

It's crazy what they can do with progammed throttle inputs. Someone like Jeff Mills needs to have an F1 engine running through a laptop to use in a Live PA along with his 909 & decks

This was done on a bench dyno after they won the championship.

Enjoy!

There's one where the car's playing the Asturian anthem as well (anthem of the region where Alonso is from), pretty sweet. I didn't know they could do this either.
