I created this thread for people to post the cars they feel are their best sounding cars.
Please if you want to post your favorite, add some sample pictures.

I'll start with one of my favorites...

Do you know what happens when a car company (Lexus) and a sound company (Yamaha) comes together to create an engine?
A bouncing fully grown Lexus LFA is born.
Made from December 2010 to December 2012 with only 500 made .
A Naturally Aspirated 4.8 L 1LR-GUE even-firing V10 pushing 412–420 kW (553–563 hp; 560–571 PS) through a 6-speed Aisin SA6 automated manual.
0-62mph(100km/h) in 3.7 seconds.
That's is one of the best sounding V10 out there, when it screams, it screams like a V10 Formula One car and reliably ( looking at you Lamborghini Aventador).
It had a base price for $375,000 but it's going for above $400k right now.
This is most likely the last of it's kind due to strict emission and sound laws, even Lamborghini and Ferrari are dropping Naturally Aspirated engines for turbocharged hybrids....sigh...(Don't worry planet Earth we'll try our best).

Pagani Huayra

Rear mid engine, RWD successor to the Zonda/R

2 door coupe + 2 door roadster

6.0 L twin-turbocharged Mercedes-AMG V12

720 - 827 HP (Coupe/Roadster/BC Edition)

Maxes out at 238 mph, 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds

Fun fact -

Named after Huayra-tata, a Quechua (Peruvian/Ecuadorian) god of wind.

So you want to steal my thread , see how you presented it like a buffet . I love the huayra, not popular among non-car people which means it's special, the sound is , but all those Naturally Aspirated engines got me tingling sometimes .

Ford Shelby Mustang GT350.

5.2L V8.
Great sound is due to the flat-plane crank design, which Ferrari also uses.
526 HP.
Starts at $60k.
0-60 in 4.0s.

The LFA is definitely number one, though.


Did you know that Toyota built the engine in collaboration with Yamaha (a company famous for building pianos)? It's one of the reasons why it sounds so good.

The LFA's V10 revs to over 9000 rpm, and does so in less than 0.6s. It revs so fast that analogy tachometers couldn't keep up, so Toyota had to use a digital one.

Jeremy Clarkson, perhaps the greatest automobile journalist of the century who's driven right about every supercar of note, said the Lexus LFA is the best car he's ever driven. It doesn't get better than that.

Great thread, btw. I'm a sucker for exhausts.

Are we forgetting the jaguar F type v8

Meet the Jaguar F-Type SVR.
Widely regarded as one of the best sounding cars on the market. The V6 is also excellent.
No idea what kind of magic Jaguar used on the exhaust systems of the cars. Even the four cylinder sounds great.

Supercharged 5.0L V8.
575 HP.
$123k

0-60 in 3.5s.
Top speed? 200 MPH.

Just a ridiculous, ridiculous exhaust note.

Thanks, There's something just pleasing about great exhaust notes ....sigh...

Ahhhh ahhh, who are we to forget about it naa, its sound is , but I still have mixed feelings about the newest generation... Maybe I'll love it later on.

Are you a Christian?

Have you always wanted to hear the sound of tortured demons but could not??

Introducing the Dodge Challenger SRT hellcat Redeye, with this car you can hear that lovely sound anytime you rev it or take it for a drive.
Powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 rated at 797 hp (594 kW; 808 PS) and 707 lb⋅ft (959 N⋅m) of torque (and some captured demons ), it'll propel you to 60mph in 3.6 seconds.
I so so so love that supercharger whine .
Nigerians, know that it's not only AMG that does great, enjoyable and assessable performance cars .

Another one of my dream cars.

Here's the W204 C63. It doesn't have as much torque as the W205 C63, and the exhaust note isn't quite as attention-catching, but nothing still beats a big naturally aspirated V8. Turbos essentially act as a muffler, and the W204 C63 had none. Just pure, undiluted displacement.

It's called a C63 and has a 6.3L badge on it, but it's actually a 6.2L V8. The glorious M156.

451 HP, although it maxes out at 510 on the AMG Black Series.
0-60 in about 3.7s
Top speed? 176 MPH


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sE74KLXfBmI

I'm of the opinion that the W204 C63 is a better car than the W205. Looks better, too.

My guy, so you love Naturally Aspirated engines too abi .

Nice dream cars.
I used to love the cars with the lastest technology but now I've come to understand that it's the driving pleasure that's the most important thing.

My dream cars to buy in the future when it has depreciated to the amount I'm willing to spend are Nissan gt-r r35( turbocharged, it's basically a legend), Lexus LC 500 (Naturally Aspirated V8 and it sounds so so great especially when it redlines or downshifts) and probably the Dodge Challenger SRT hellcat Redeye ( the sound of tortured demons is great) if the rumored less drag focused and more athletic model turns out not to be real.

The LC500 and R35 are also up there for me. I don't quite care about the Hellcats, give me a Camaro ZL1 instead.

Nice.
I've heard about Camaro but are they reliable, As per we're in Nigeria oooo .
And what are your thoughts on the new C8 Corvette??, I would've loved it, a mid-engined car starting at $60,000 when its mate are starting at $180k(Audi R8, McLaren 570s etc), 0-60 3 seconds flat w/launch-control but never ever has a cars steering wheel made me dislike a car so so much as this C8 is doing right now, what's up with that squarcicle .

They are. And GM's Alpha platform is one of the best out there. Cars like the ATS are generally considered to handle better than the BMW 3-series, so the current Camaro isn't just a dumb muscle car; it's a legit sports car.

The C8 is incredibly impressive. Excellent on both drag and strip. Launches like a beast, wtf. Look at how it takes off versus the GT500 here. The Shelby does catch up after but that's just due to having over 250 HP more. I can't wait for the Z06. Even with just 650 HP, I can see it absolutely demolishing any car under 200k.

The C8 isn't the first car to have that steering wheel. Hardly something to be annoyed by imo.

Mid-engined Camaro coming 2023 though .
C8 is definitely going to overturn some tables but people will still go for the giants (though they'll take considerable sales hit) because they're exclusive, those C8's will probably be like Toyotas in the sense that there'll be a lot of them and little distinction between them except you mod yours.

Aaaaahhhh, right now that steering wheel disgusts me...

Dodge Demon

Do you love Naturally Aspirated engines (NA)??.
Do you love luxurious cars?
Do you love reliable cars?
Do you love cars that are close in specifications to Aston Martins but half the price??
Well this car got you covered.

Lexus LC 500.
Powered by a 5.0L Naturally Aspirated V8 making 471 horses and 398 lb-ft of torque or a 3.5L V6 for the hybrid variant making 354 combined horses and 369 lb-ft of torque.

With a 0 to 60 time of 4.8 seconds for the petrol version and 5.3 seconds for the hybrid version.

Not fast but you need to hear this car redline or downshift. That's what a car is about, the driving pleasure and this car is no slouch when it comes to that. A purist GT car. The engine note is just....

The last of its kind in this times of strict regulations .
I just love this car .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOMiJlfkU-M

Naturally aspirated is the way forward for me.
The sweet spot in the dodge challenger / charger lineup is the Scat pack, 6.4l v8, churning our 485 hp.
The Lexus ISF and GSF not later than 2012,they make upwards of 416hp from a 5.0l v8
The Porsche Panamera GTS not later than 2016, they added turbos in the 2017 Panamera GTS

Lexus GSF

That LFA in my opinion is the best sounding V10 ,period. Lexus really did a good job with that car. I hope their next concept car is as great as the LFA.

I doubt, the LFA was not successful and with all these stricter regulations... Things are not looking too good for car purists .
The LC will continue to be their flagship car in the foreseeable future.

The LFA could have been more successful if Lexus didn't take too long to develop it. By the time they were done, faster and better cars were already available. 10 years was just too long but at the same time it's a concept car it wasn't built for success but for the world to take a look and in this case listen to it and behold it beauty or orgasmic sound .


Things are not looking good truly. In the near future all cars will have to be electric. I can't even imagine such a future

i disagree that the LFA was unsuccessful, the LFA was a halo car for Lexus, much like the R8 was a halo car for Audi, halo cars are not really financially sound decisions, their worth is measured more in the awareness and brand recognition they create, than the profits they bring in

the problem is that unlike the R8, the LFA is so expensive that most owners just garage them, LFAs are like unicorns, you know they are cool and you've seen them in pictures, but you don't actually know anybody who owns one

LFA was never meant to be a mass production car. Those things go for 500k these days. MSRP was 375k, I believe, and Lexus was still losing money on every unit sold.

Quick 0 to 60 times but soulless... The electric future is so sad for car purists.

Yeah, it was a halo car but unlike the R8 it was limited to 500 cars made and it didn't really boost recognition for lexus because the hype generated by the LFA was wasted since the follow up cars (the LC and RC models) were not as exciting as the LFA (though I love the LC 500).

So true, they're actually unicorns .

I even heard they sold at least 4 brand new LFAs last year can you imagine??, BRAND NEW!!!!!. There are still brand new LFAs.

Dino Melaye should be on this thread.

Yes, there are. Mostly showroom cars. I think there are a handful of them left.
