Porsche V10 in the gemballa mirage sounds pretty awesome

But nothing better than a GT40 with a proper V8 in it.

I think the little 2.0 Clio engines with individual throttle bodies sound pretty awesome for what they are...

Any 5 pot.

Just something about the noise they make. Prefer it over any v6/v8. Just love the 5 cylinder rumble.

My fave though has to be the Fiat 2.0l/2.4l 20v engine found in the Bravo, Marea, Coupe & Stilo. Lovely engine and sounds brilliant.

Also like the Volvo 5 pots.
