[hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KchD-QLqp0g[/hd] [B]JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.[/B] That exhaust note is fierce as fuck. Bonus: Ferrari FXX K vs McLaren P1 GTR sound comparison [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnnjlfwnxk[/hd] As much as I love the P1... man, that V12 is pure sex.
If it's brutal exhaust notes you want, It's the 599XX Evo It's insane [video=youtube;5L49PH3O-gE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L49PH3O-gE[/video]

It sure sounds like a car engine, I can't really say there's anything special about the sound.
The nicest sounding 12 cylinder you'll ever hear is the Flat 12 in the 917K. Just listen to those downshifts. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkP5Svl16Qg[/media]

I love the sound of the 5 cylinder Audi Sport Quattro S1. [video=youtube;cDRkHXMHqFo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDRkHXMHqFo[/video] [video=youtube;wdy8CG09rSU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdy8CG09rSU[/video]
[QUOTE=Tophat;48761590]I love the sound of the 5 cylinder Audi Sport Quattro S1.[/QUOTE] One thing that was always weird to me is how a straight 5 still sounds just like its "double counterpart", the V10. A straight 6 doesn't sound like a V12, a straight 3 doesn't sound like a V6, etc. If that makes sense.
[QUOTE=paul simon;48759257]It sure sounds like a car engine, I can't really say there's anything special about the sound.[/QUOTE] There are so many different intake tones, exhaust tones and reports, combustion cycles, firing orders, stroke lengths, as well as sounds of forced induction, valve timing and anti-lag systems. There's so many different intricate mechanical and electrical systems meshing to turn dead plants and oxygen into force I don't see what's not to appreciate.

In terms of downshifts and general sound, the McLaren F1 makes my mouth water. Definitely my all time dream car. [media]https://youtu.be/OFLQAEiO7xo?t=3m17s[/media] Around 3:17 is a prime example of it.

[editline]26th September 2015[/editline] In my mind, the only thing that sounds even nastier than a track-oriented V12 is... the 767B. [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBCS7CLfv8s[/hd]

Now that I remember, [url=http://jalopnik.com/gaze-in-awe-at-this-2-0-liter-v12-ferrari-engine-1657633664]Ferrari [i]did[/i] build a 2 liter, flat 12 engine[/url], as a one-off for a time-attack sprints. [img]http://i.imgur.com/94fIBMd.jpg[/img] [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=52&v=rJIhrv8aps0[/hd] Absolutely [b]insane[/b]. They should really go "old school" and try to build a flat 12 again...

For instance, the intake noise - as in, when the car has individual throttle bodies and you can "hear" the engine gulping in air, cylinder by cylinder. [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GOEuF_WcVw[/hd] Or on a carburated V8, when the secondaries open up. In this case, I'd say it's the equivalent to the "VTEC kicked in yo" meme, but for muscle cars. It's a very particular sound. [hd]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jfep8Q2J6g[/hd] Secondaries opened up, yo!
You people and your baby cars. The best sounds can only truly come from something as magnificent as this. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAMiTfSU7ZA[/media]

[QUOTE=paul simon;48764072]Well, in my ears it's just different pitches of "wroom" v:v:v I don't see the fascination with the sound.[/QUOTE] It's the soundtrack of Motorsport. Why do people like the sound of orgasms? or birds? or guns? or anything? Because those individual sounds are representative and part of an entire experience.
I have smaller cravings. Like the V8 in the M5 E39. Simple, tamed, but usable on the road, and elegantly savage. But, if I want to go deaf... [video=youtube;FstXpvGzxZI]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FstXpvGzxZI[/video]
