Apologies if posted already (and I wouldn't be surprised) but the sound of the BMW M1 in this video is just heaven!

That is superb!

The finest sounding car I have ever heard with my own ears. The Bentley continental GT3. Hearing one of these from either the pit wall or coming down craned curves at donington.

Lovely little film, this, of a car that never really was.
Even if you don't like the sound, just look at it and remember it's only pottering about.

The sound of the twin 1 and 3/4 SU carbs on my 1340cc mini on lift off. That whooshing sucking air sound was the dump valve of the eighties for me.

787b that is in a league of its own

Novices on here. Everyone knows that Maserati's are the best sounding cars with their cross plane cranks.

Here's my 3200

At all the car shows we do as a forum (SM) we get all the Fezza and Lambo guys coming up to us and saying how good the Tridents sound compared to the muted Fezza's etc...

And a mates 4200 with X pipe vs H pipe comparison. Which do you prefer?

That'll do me, sounds like it's trying to tear a hole in the ground.

Yep Vette's at Le Mans are on a whole new level. EVery time I see them they make the hairs stand up on my neck. Make the Astons sound very tame and muted.

I love the sound of this XFR. Supercharger whine followed by V8 growl. Lovely !

Not a car but best sounding engine ever, better than any V8 or V12.
