lol, but seriously;
London, UK - New clinical research released today proves that the sound
of a luxury car engine appeals to our primal instincts, surprisingly
more so for women, even if they claim to have no interest in cars.The study by luxury motor insurers Hiscox, found that the roar of a
Maserati turned women’s heads the most.Participants of the clinical study were exposed to a recording of
various super-car engines being revved. They listened to the roaring
engines of a Maserati, a Lamborghini and a Ferrari; and they were also
exposed to a recording of a Volkswagen Polo, to ensure a fair
comparison of arousal was measured with an every-day vehicle.After 20 minutes their response was measured by the levels of the
hormone, testosterone, secreted in their saliva.The results showed:
The Maserati had the biggest impact on women with 100% of the female
participants showing a significant increase in testosterone secretion100% of female participants showed a decrease in testosterone in
reaction to the Polo50% of male participants showed an increase in testosterone in reaction
to the Maserati60% of male participants showed an increase in testosterone in reaction
to the LamborghiniDespite nearly 60% of female participants admitting they were nowhere
near as passionate about cars as their male counterparts, the women
actually exceeded the men when it came to experiencing driving
excitement, showing that their preferences were over-shadowed by their
basic instincts.David Moxon, the psychologist who conducted the study said: “We saw
significant peaks in the amount of testosterone in the body,
particularly in women. Testosterone is indicative of positive arousal
in the human body so we can confidently conclude from the results out
today that the roar of a luxury car engine actually does cause a
primeval physiological response.”Prior to the research taking place 63% of women and 66% of men admitted
that their heads are turned when they hear a deep throaty roar in the
road; proving primal instinct still rules the basic physiology of the
human state of arousal in the 21st century.Steve Langan, Managing Director of Hiscox UK commented: “We knew owners
of luxury cars felt a connection with the sound of their vehicles, many
of our customers turn the music down when they start their ignition.
We have now scientifically proven the physical attraction people feel
when it comes to cars. We are amazed by the results. Luxury cars do
quite literally turn heads.”
So girls tend to lie when they say they’re not into cars? lol
And it looks like Bags-of-Money had it right when he got his Quattroporte :tup:
