Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
This is something really amusing. As most of you should know, Renault’s F1 team won the 2005 Formula 1 championship. To celebrate their victory, Renault put one of their RS25 V10 Formula 1 engines on the dyno machine and programmed the engine management to make the engine sing!
Different RPMs produce different engine tones. Listen to the RS25 V10 engine’s rendition of Queen’s We Are The Champions.

this is hilarious! its madness! i tink my satria can do that sound with the amount of rattles it produces!
Hahahaha! Very funny indeed! It made me laugh. I can't help it. They hit the right notes and the right beat unlike what Richard Hammond did for the Top Gear which doesn't even come close to be called melody!
Anyway, Renault sure know how to celebrate. I'm sure no other team ever done this before. Very Original. Not only the whole team members are singing it, the engine too! LOL!
Very creative man!!
YAU MO KAU…….CHOU!! Singing Engine……..New records!!
funny.!!!!!!! Renault should also use our Proton rattling sound to produce background lyric to complement the song…
So ! Who dare to deny that the renaul now is BETTER even than ferrari? ..
yes i know that's only for the current engine.. but i tot it's better than mitsu kind of engine that never enter the race perhap..
Isn't Reanult engine is great? ..
yesss. they already prove it NOW!..
shut off anti renault engine basher! ..
kuang kuang.. love the song ..
Wow….renault celebration is quite amazing
funny and original. hilarious

if proton sings, it would be ac/dc's HIGHWAY TO HELL!
no need to talk about proton laaa……
aiyaaa….
renault ….. we are the champion……
sing it everybody………… we are the champion………..
gosh.. this is interesting! renault bravo!
okay… I got a good laugh listenning…. well at least they deserve it, so why not let the engine sing….
well… renault V10 is NOT the same with Savvy, pls pls you savvy owner, forget about doing that on your car.
Dear aksMS,
I think it was James May of Top Gear who did the musical (if you can call it that) engines.
Cool, but not actually that original. When they left F1, Asiatech used their engine to play "When the Saints Go Marching In".
said is right, I was going to say the same thing since so many of you pointed out how original it was, when its not
in mono? This sucks :/
Dear edw, you are right. A V10 engine in a compact car like Savvy? Tak sesuai. The engine is too powerful for a car like that.
Dear all bloggers in here (if you have listened to the song).
The song played by the engine was 'We are the Champions.'
First time I listened to the song, I was a little confused with the rythm. I decided to listen more carefully and iIfinally got what I have.
OOPS! Sorry for that, Paul Tan! I guess you and I were right, after all……
O.o like that also can? Whao… really funny.
LMAO!!! ROFL ROFL!!!!!
thnx for d laughs man…god!!!
