McLaren F1? I don't know what every V12 ever sounds like but come on, the F1 is a winner.

For me, either the V12 Vantage/DBS etc. or one of the Zondas. Some Murci's are up there as well though...

isn't the McLaren F1 a V10? But you're right it is an awesome sounding thing. It was the standout noise at the le mans 24hrs

Having been a V8 fan for most of my life, I am actually into straight sixes in a big way at the moment.

The only V12s I ever driven are the RR Silver Seraph, Phantom and Ghost. They didn't really sound of much at all which I suppose, in this case, is rather the whole point.

...having said that, the Phantom and Ghost were rather tuneful when really pushed...

What ever it else Welsh, I can hazard the best will have carbs over EFI.

Maybe anyways, How about 250gto?

Ok yes it has an aftermarket exhaust.

Just spotted this. A rather brave move if that really is a 250TR...
