I'd be sorely tempted for an Akra on the Clio 200 if they weren't the best part of a grand.


I spent about an hour going from sound clip to sound clip the other day on YT with various supercars.

TVR Speed 6......

All these are very good, but I now give you the best noise ever. The Gemballa Mirage GT. Old F1 car noise for the road!

Nice sounds from a truely desirable Ferrari.

[Twincam16]

Personal favourite of mine - the Lister-Chevrolet:

Not bad at all.

Personally I'm rather taken with the Speed Six TVRs. In fact this might be my favourite car-noise video ever:

I love something with a bit of an edge to it like that. Despite owning one, I'm not hugely fussed by the lazy burble you get from 90-degree crank V8s.

Love cars and all their different sounds including the 355, but for me it has to be the Hennessy Venom GT!

I had a 355 GTS with a Capristo and the roof off in a tunnel was pure joy..

I just sold a GT3 RS with a Europipe exhaust and now I am looking for my 3rd M3 CSL so you could say I like my noise!!!

I still think this is better - Ferrari does sound lovely though.

Holy Hell that TVR is epic. I've seen it so many times and it never fails to put a smile on my face. It must make TVR ownership completely worth it.

NSX with some exhaust or other.

lovely.
I will own a 355 at some stage.
However, the Zonda 760RS does sound even more epic (IMHO) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb05nRyDrY8 (1.25 onwards for the best noise)

This is beautiful!

[liammedler]

Can't wait to get home and give these a listen!

[M666 EVO]

Lola, at Le Mans, circa 1999 - can't remember the exact year and don't have a clip but that was the most wood inducing sound I ever did hear on a car

Wow !

As a point of interest, what do these rev to ?

They rev to 8250 iirc.

Dad has one of these with sports exhaust (unknown brand) however it does sound superb. Was lucky enough to drive it last winter

I think this sounds amazing also :

LP640 w/Capristo

Bet it would sound good under load!

I always found the 355s too tinny sounding...

This is more like it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foDcLUhUKqI

[simonigrale]

Capristo equipped 355 with De Cat pipes !!!

One of the best car experiences I had involved both the TVR Speed 6, Ferrari 355 flat-plane V8 and my then (almost unsilenced) TVR Griffith RV8 on our way down to Le Mans (2002 or 2003 IIRC) going through a tunnel on an autoroute at full throttle. Although the din was immense, you could clearly discern each of the three engines. The French eurobox drvies we were overtaking were stunned.
