the BRM v16 from the 50's, nothing comes close.

Early 90's Renault V10

I would have said the F1 Ferrari V12 engine sound aswell but I felt there was no need with it already being mentioned a few times. Gorgeous sound might I add!

Quote from Intrepid :

Ferrari V12

end the thread there really. That is possibly the best sound ever created. Only my 100cc aircooled 2 stroke screaming at 20,000rpm ready to literally explode gives me the same chills

Quote from BenjiMC :

i got some of those too from santa pod, you REALLY have to be there to experience the sound and the quite literal feeling.

It's like a jackhammer put onto your chest. Your adrenaline goes mental even when you're just watching one go past.

I physically start shaking when I hear this.... just sends shivers down my spine and makes life seem more... worthwhile. I'd love to hear it in person though.

Some serious sweet sounds..

But dont forget this one...

Another vote for the Quattro, and all utterly mental rally cars. In my mind, a race car engine should sound like giant hornets trapped inside a burning fireworks factory--I don't want my engine to sing, I want it to sound like it's going to explode at any second with the sheer extremity of what it's being demanded to do. And that wastegate noise that the Quattro and a few other cars have--I have no idea what causes them to sound that way but I love it.

But I'm also very fond of the BMW M1Procar. More of a "pure" engine sound.

Ok a normal lazy crap roadcar now...

From all the cars I've driven (nothing fancy really), the little stock Suzuki Swift '95 1-litre 3-cylinders had the most exciting sound - how ironic, eh?

Sounds like it has twice as many cylinders.

didn't suzuki use motorbike engines in a few of their cars until recently?

No idea. All we have from Suzuki around here is the old Swifts and some boring SUVs.

Sounds like a 6-cylinder, pretty cool sound for an old suziki

I like this one. Then again, I did own it for six years ;-P

But still, I loved listening to that on a daily basis.
