Best F1 engine noise

[philipbain]

Just though i'd ask for opinions etc. regarding which F1 car in your opinion had the best sounding exhaust note. For me it was the 1995 Ferrari, the last of the V12s, a 3 litre which was produced for that year and that year only as in '96 they switched to a all-new V10. The howling high pitched scream that the V12 gave that year was unforgettable, also it was amongst the last of the prettier low nosed cars and was very competitive too, certainly a LOT better than the quite frankly unsightly car they produced for Schumi and Eddie in '96!

I think that this had been discussed in detail before, and my answer was the Matra. It made my teeth fillings vibrate.

Some say the V16 BRM from the dawn of F1

Yeah it haw been, and my answer is still the same. Ferrari V12, 1995. However I did love the sound of that mugen v10 circa 1998.

I will always go for the BRM, incredible sound

Worst has to be the Turbo era, sounded like farts

Boxers sound best imho

Go back about 50 years and combine:

A playing card
A clothes peg
My imagination

The Renault V10 engines from 1991 on...amazing sound! Everytime it downshifted, listening to that thing high-rev just made every single hair in me stand up, then it got slightly spoiled by time when its RPM just kept rising to 19.000. Of course, the Ferrari V12 is an all-time favourite for me, and a close third, is the Ford V8 from 1993-97!

This one is from about 5 years back.... V10's I believe.

The Matra V12 as driven by Chris Amon, just gorgeous.
