Auto show strives to make 'beautiful noise' with supercars

The next dance hit might not sell millions but it is made with multi-million rand Lamborghini’s. The first public rehearsal was held today (Tuesday) ahead of the much anticipated Clarkson‚ Hammond & May Live (formerly Top Gear) show next weekend at the Dome in Johannesburg.South African beatboxer Morgan Pienaar teamed up with Chris Hale‚ the British event’s producer for a world first.Their aim: making lyrical Lamborghini’s. The Aventador and Huracan models were the test cars today but the live show will showcase seven cars and the musical talents of Pienaar.“It’s not just a big noise‚ it’s a symphony. We wanted the cars to make a beautiful noise‚” said Pienaar.The exercise took hooting and revving to new levels and each car produces a different sound and each show will be live.Hale said: “From the very first show to the very last‚ it will be amazing. We don’t know what it will sound like until we get the cars together”.The show might result in human head-bobbing but the multi-million rand supercars will probably not be dancing to their own sounds...
