Cars You Can Identify From Noise Alone
Discussion
Quite a lot when I think about it:
Peugeot/Citroen 1.4 Carb 85bhp from 205XS / AX GT
205 1.6 GTi / 309 XS
205/309 1.9 GTi
Ferrari 355
Subary Impreza Turbo
Porsche 964
Porsche 993
MK3 Golf / Corrado / Sharan VR6
MK5 Cortina 1.6
Merc SLK/CLK 230K (sounds like the Cortina to me)
Volvo 5 cyl
Gallardo
V10 M5
I'm pretty sure I could recognise a Zonda but I've only ever seen them in car shows and on tv.
You may notice there's no diesels in the list as they seem very hard to tell apart and I have tried. The current 6 cyl BMW diesels sounds quite nice, it's probably the only one I would wind my window down to listen to.

Rousch Mustang and Impreza.
It's Roush and has the same engine as any other Mustang.I'd say any A-series car like the Moggy 1000/Austin A40 which had a different transmission whine to the Minis and the old Ford ohvs in Anglias and Cortinas et al. the starter motor was very distinctive - they went on for long enough.
