Let's all just post videos of the Countach, since it has clearly won? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=js5QyYsH7Nw

Maybe anyways, How about 250gto?
Funnily enough both the Ferrari 250GTO and Lamborghini V12 had the same designer: Giotto Bizzarrini.

You know that old trope that designers sometimes trot out: "If it looks great, it will run great" ?

Perhaps he applied it to engines...

Ferrari FF sounds quite nice as well.

But actually so do all V12s

F1 GTR (Roadgoing) - cheating a little, but the noise of the downshifts makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

Watch Sutcliffe's face while he's playing about with it... that's bliss in Journo form

That Countach noise is immense. Sends shivers down my spine.

That noise is the sole reason I'm a petrol head.
