Nice - but not a V8 Sound.

 

Not too bad - but not a V8 sound

 

Not too bad - but not a V8 Sound.

 

yes i understand but it is a more modern engine, and you guys compare v8 or v12 at idle or start but a am v12 accelerating really sounds like a v12. i tell you and inside a tunnel its impressionning.
today i rather had this v12 5,2 twin turbo 0-100 in 3.9 sec, i like the sound a lot, and well we live in an epoque where it is good to use things when they are new, and change often. and i wander if a v12 while you drive with spirit is not more loyal than a v8 in term of consummation.
I do not like a v8 sound specially, I had the 5 liter xkr.

 

There's not much that going to beat a V12 sound IMO, especially from Aston. V10 BMW is up there too, but then you'd have to dive a BMW...

 

The sweetest sound to me are the Porsche Carrera GT V10 and the Lexus LFA, they sound like perfectly timed Indy cars, AM would be just below them but love it too

 

NOTHING beats the sound of a Nitro-Fueled and 14/71 blown 500 CID Top Fuel Funny Car. Each one of the eight cylinders has more power alone than a Veyron.

 

I often tell my son that if a guitarist isn't good they just play louder, funny cars are just loud noise to me not gorgeous string music

 

V12 Merlin is up there IMO

 

V12 Merlin, nothing sexier in my book (I've often attended the Reno air races and the Chino air show see lots of them)

 

F355 / 360 modena one of best sounds known to man

 

Sorry, nothing sounds better than a BRM 16 not even the spitfire.
It has no muffler, and the pistons are the size of weedeater engine.

Nick Mason the drummer from Pink Floyd, huge car guy, has made recording of many cars, it comes with the book named "into the red" The BRM makes all the Ferraris sound like toyotas.

Hate to tell you, but I don't like the sound of newer model Ferraris, that high pitched F1 sound. I much prefer the sound of my Pantera's big throated V-8, a deep resonating, alarm setting off, low frequency, baritone. I love the sound of most Astons, Maseratis, and love the F-type in both iterations, 6 & 8.

 

*nice but it is not a V8 sound* but soon - they are already testing the AMG 4.0l twin Turbo engine in the DB 11 on the Nürburgring

 

I was at the ferrari factory last month. I took a tour of the Maserati engine department on the second floor of the factory. There designed and made by ferrari spa.

 

Have you ever been to Goodwood FOS? I do every year, you can hear them in the flesh there as well as seeing Nick take cars up the hill.
Sure beats just listening to DVDs

 

Best sound to date: F-Type> Period - end of story.

 

Sorry mate BUT NO

 

I guess I have a few different opinions on sound. I like the throbbing thunder of a big V8 but I also like the horde of hornets sound of the Ferrari V8. As for V6 or iline 4's and even V12's or V10's they just don't have the same character as the V8's. As for a boxer 6 to me it sounds like a hopped up VW. If I had to judge I would take a Harley over a jap rocket or a BMW . But most of all I hate these fart can rice'ers . Just my opinion
