Mazda has a super interesting way of doing this. When paired with an electric motor/generator, they can speed up/slow down specific parts of the combustion cycle to essentially get vvt. I think they can only really do this as a ra

It can sound significantly better but there’s a couple hoops you have to jump through - and even then it’s decent, but not the same as Siri. You need the user to download ‘enhanced’ or ‘premium’ voices in the settings app. (Settings -> A
