The Binaural Sound Zone offers the virtual sound experience. It is a binaural sound journey that truly brings alive Revotron and its raw power. It is a special zone which provides one of a kind audio experience to participants. This zone transports participants on to the road where they will experience three different drive modes of the engine and sheer pleasure of driving the Revotron powered car.
TheRevotron Challenge game is a futuristic 3D game which allows a participant to travel in a Zest where they can experience first-in-class multi-drive modes i.e. Sport, Eco and City and the high boost turbocharger, delivering 90PS, 140Nm torque @1750-3500 rpm.

While the game is available for free download on Apple App Store and Google Play Store for mobile devices, it can also be played online, from the Revotron microsite. The game has been designed such that a player can play against other player only in the Lab. In the mobile and the web version a player can only challenge other player but can play against the system.
The Interactive Touch Glass educates customers on the benefits of India’s first 1.2 Litre MPFi Turbocharger petrol engine in the most interactive medium. Through the Augmented Reality application, visitors can also capture their picture with a virtual Narain Karthikeyan in the Lab.
