Check out Lamborghini’s V10 ‘music’ on Spotify

Automobili Lamborghini continues the celebration of its V8, V10 and V12 internal combustion engines with a new symphony: following the V12 playlist launch on Spotify that’s now available.

The new music inspired by Huracán Tecnica uses a V10 engine to create musical crescendos as it changes gears.

“Studies show the sound experience behind the wheel of a Huracán Tecnica is immersive and enhances the fun-to-drive sensations,” said Lamborghini NVH whole vehicle coordinator Mario Mautone.

Mautone added the sensation is likened to driving a spyder with the roof down.

Collaborating with Mautone, music producer Alex Trecarichi developed the second volume of ‘The Engine Songs: the V10 playlist of 24 tracks’ now made available on Spotify.

The V10 compilation has been developed in harmony with the principles of psychoacoustic – the physical science between sound and pure emotion, which is applied at Lamborghini during the concept stage of all engines.

To ensure the engine’s inimitable symphonies stir the driver’s body, heart and mind, a series of tests were carried out on the engine noise, using prototypes built inside a futuristic semi-anechoic chamber in Sant’Agata Bolognese, Italy.

To select the tracks of The Engine Songs, Alex Trecarichi applied the formulas of Fourier Transform to the song of the V10, just as when compiling the V12 soundtrack.

This mathematical transformation naturally triggers the brain to break down a sound into its infinite sub-components.

These naturally-occurring qualities are reproduced in the studio using artificial intelligence, to find the fundamental frequencies of the engine coinciding with the three precise phases of its expression: idling, cruising speed at 4,500rpm and maximum power at 8,000rpm.

“The V10 tunes up, starting from the engine before reaching the exhaust system and the intake manifold, just like a musical instrument,” explained Mautone.

“Even more poignantly, in the case of the V10, the range of sounds and frequencies is like a female voice, delivering a beautiful high intensity.”

When idling, the engine of the Huracán Tecnica sings in E (41,2Hz), the same tonality as Hot Cause I’m Fly by Moodrich.

At 4,500rpm, the vibrations enter in F-sharp (92.5Hz), from which the syncopated hip hop of Arrival and Departure erupts.

Finally, at 8,000rpm, the rock in E (164.81Hz) of Corey Taylor and his Black Eyes Blue takes flight – just three of the tracks on The Engine Songs V10 has now been released on Spotify.
