A couple of weeks back, one of the contractors on a site I was working on pulled up in a modern Transit with what sounded like a V8.
On further investigation and chatting with the fella, turns out it was just a standard 4-pot diesel but with a soundbox installed.
Something like this

Now, I'm not into the fake sounds either, but it certainly made me look twice and was very convincing.
He turns it off on the motorway though, too boomy
