So the revs are too low at the start, and climb too quickly for the car to be in 2nd; and are too high at the end for it to be in 3rd, since if it were the car would be going about 90 mph which it clearly is not.

Whether the dubbed sounds are real or synthesized is anyone's guess, but if they are real they've likely been altered/autotuned half to death.
Pretty sure every promotional video of a car in the history of promotional videos has used dubbed/fake engine sounds. It's like the explosions in an action movie, or the orgasm of some dirty whore in a porn.
