Recordings of the famous growl will be submitted to the British Library’s archives alongside other culturally significant sounds such as the first street recordings of cars. The sounds recorded were “something we want to be available for generations to come”, said Charles Richardson, senior sound engineer with Jaguar. “From there the run in the chamber simulates a variety of the F-Type’s ‘vocal abilities’,” said Jaguar.
