A microprocessor can generate the sound. Tap off the
speedometer/tachometer lead to get the engine speed (either count
pulses/second or use an RC integrator to average the engine speed and
read it with an analog-digital converter (ADC)).
Adjust the microprocessor sound output based on the engine speed.

The microprocessor's sound output drives a big amp and some serious
weatherproof speakers mounted under the hood and under the rear of the
car.

Should be possible to put it all together for less than $1000 in
single quantities - much cheaper if you want a thousand or more ;-)
