Latest Gadget News: The Soundracer - Makes any car sound like a Super Car. Wow!

June 10th, 2011

This is a fantastic gadget that can make almost any car sound like a super sports car.

The Soundracer V8 or V12 Engine

What is the SoundRacer?
It’s a motor-enthusiast’s dream come true! Imagine the GROOOOWL of a “Shelby Cobra” V8 engine or the ROOOARR of a “Ferrari” V12 engine as it prepares to launch into sheer driving ecstasy. Most of us can only ever dream of owning such an awe-inspiring super-machine but now with the SoundRacer, you can experience first-hand the amazing sounds of the impressive engine in the comfort of your own car….any time…any place…anywhere….at a tiny fraction of the price of the real thing. What a bargain!

How does it work?
The SoundRacer is a piece of affordable and ingenious technology that works on signals and electrical noise. Signal frequencies in the electrical cables running from the AC alternator follow the engine speed. The SoundRacer detects these signals and transforms them into a simulated RPM. The increase in the simulated RPM multiplied by a factor of 3 then produces a more exciting acceleration impression – all done without running the car’s engine at a higher RPM. The SoundRacer then generates an incredibly realistic super-sports car sound that changes according to the rev point of the car i.e. idle, acceleration at lower/higher RPM and deceleration.

How easy is it to install?
Simply slot the SoundRacer into the cigarette lighter of your car and set it to a free radio frequency. Quickly rev the engine to 2500-3000 RPM, listen for a beep, drop the revs and two further beeps will confirm your SoundRacer is installed and ready to RUUUMBLE through your FM stereo speakers! How cool is that! …And the SoundRacer offers even more: It also works as a standard car FM-transmitter for MP3 players, such as iPod and iPhone, with a line in socket that provides an input for playing music on the car stereo. A cable with 2 x 3.5 mm stereo plugs are supplied in the box.

How It Works
SoundRacer has developed a special technology to sense and calculate the car engine rpm and produce the sounds of a powerful Super Sports Car engine. The sound changes as you drive and SoundRacer even increases the speed of the engine sound so that you can drive at a normal speed and still get a very exciting engine sound.

Niche Motoring Gifts Website has Rebranded to become CAAGIS!

February 10th, 2009




For millions of us our car is one of the true prides and joys in our life. Even if a Porsche or a Ferrari is out of reach many people still enjoy owning a stylish car themed gift depicting the car of their dreams.


This is our new specialist gift website for Car Crazy gifts. We have sourced just about every car gift available and put them on our site. Not to be confused with a car accessory site, we are an Aladdin’s Cave of car gifts. We remain the UK’s leading website purely dedicated to car and motoring themed gifts and gadgets.


For the Ferrari owner or enthusiast there are now a huge range of gifts on offer including a stylish Ferrari weather station incorporating a radio controlled clock and calendar. This product has been featured in OCTANE and magazine and has proven to be one of the company’s most sought after Ferrari gifts.


A particularly good seller has been the Dashboard Retro Weather station clocks which were recently featured in Classic Cars Magazine and Retro Cars Magazine. These classic style clocks come in various different colours to suit a variety of tastes.


For formula one enthusiasts and Lewis Hamilton fans, CAAGIS has recently sourced some of the Vodafone Mclaren Mercedes clothing range including t-shirts, sweatshirts and caps as worn by Lewis Hamilton himself, when becoming world F1 champion in 2008.


Having greatly expanded since rebranding to CAAGIS the website features an unrivalled range of car themed gifts, clocks, watches, clothing, house ware items, models, books and DVDs, as well stacks of really cool car inspired gadgets that every car crazy person would love to get their hands on. Some of these items were featured recently on the Top Gear Christmas December 2008 episode.


Since the launch of the new website the product range has increased considerably. The accessories section includes some seriously funky car cufflinks, all motoring inspired, and the gadget section now includes 1:16 scale model radio controlled cars and USB memory sticks. The classic Haynes manual range now includes fantastic male and female t-shirts and shoulder bags. The company has sourced from all over the world to find something for everyone, male or female, young or old - and with over 24 million drivers in the UK that is no mean feat.


The CAAGIS website has also become a great source of information for many visitors to the site listing details of every major car club as well as updated information on motoring events in the UK and around the world.
