Revving the engine errr...Motor?

[lCELess]

I know this might sound childish but I was recently invited to a car club outing where a group of people that have high performance cars (Ferrari's, Lambo's, R8's, etc.) periodically attend so they can show off how the cars look and then they get to show off what their car can do. While I wont get into whether or not the activities that took place to "show what the cars can do" is legal or not, it did bring up an interesting question for me during one of the group pit stops. At this particular stop, the coordinator wanted to get some video footage of everyone's car all lined up in a single line and to rev the engine as he passed by for the shot. I got to thinking, if i had my car in the line, how would I visibly (and audibly) show the cars muscle without actually making a sound at all? My car is from Nov 18 so I don't have the pedestrian noise maker and it's laughable to think of even using that to show of strength. Just curious if anyone else has thought about this or might know what we ICEless car owners could do in a situation like that. Thanks

Put it in park, fire up YouTube (turn up the volume) and play this?

Take your shirt off and flex.

You can’t force the car to make a motor noise while it is not moving.

Turn on 'emission testing' mode?

Just laugh at that nonsense and tell them the cars of the future are quiet and don't have senseless carbon emissions that pierce people's eardrums.

You could take inspiration from South Park.

If you had the X, you can put on the holiday show, hah.

Play the sounds of birds chirping and the wind in the trees.

Open your windows and crank this up... the others will start weeping in envy.

Perhaps you could arrange to have your Tesla at the end of the line, and rather than just "revving" your engine, suddenly drive off to show the speed and silent acceleration?

Actually not totally true. Motors can resonate their windings just for fun. My drone does startup sound, but it doesn't have a speaker.
This one is pretty loud:
