In 2008, 40 participants in Britain listened to engine recordings of three Italian exotics (a Ferrari, a Maserati and a Lamborghini) and a VW Polo. Under the direction of psychologist David Moxon, each participant had saliva samples taken before and after listening to measure levels of the hormone testosterone, which can indicate sexual arousal in men and women.
The Maserati sound was the climax, so to speak, provoking a significant increase in 100 per cent of the women and 50 per cent of the men.

Moxon said a sports-car engine ''does cause a primaeval physiological response'' and produced ''significant peaks, particularly in women''.
The psychologist also concluded that the Polo led to a reduction of testosterone levels in the participants.
