Vroom
Online auto marketplace
Vroom imitates the sound of an engine revving or a vehicle accelerating rapidly: The motorcycle went vroom and disappeared down the street.
As a verb, to vroom is to make that sound or to move with engine noise: Sports cars vroomed past the café.
The word conveys speed, power, and the visceral thrill of motorized movement.
