YouTube - Bugatti Veyron 16.4 incredible engine sound!!!

Was browsing around youtube and came across this video.

Skip forward to 1:45 and you see all the flybys with the Bugatti in front followed by other exotics. They all make almost no noise coming by. Then you hear the M5 howl beautifully as it passes the camera.

Ironic...of all those cars on the circuit the best sounding one was one that is probably the least expensive and the only one with 4 doors.

Gotta love the M5.

The M5 in this video actually does sound to be one of the best in this video, I'd say my other favorite exhaust note is the carrera GT but our V10's sing songs too

 

[///Mike M]

For sure, out of all V10's, the M5 has the best stock and aftermarket sound. For all of production cars, the Aston Martin v12 line is first place in my book and the s85 is right behind it -- almost to the point where it's a draw

For V12s I think the 599 GTO has first place in my book. It's not so much a symphony but more like an angry dragon roaring...

I disagree on all fronts. I think the Carrera GT V10 sounds better than the M5, as does the Lexus LFA V10.

While the S85 sound is awesome, there are a number of exhaust notes better than it.

 

[John Morgan Evans]

Agreed,

also the S85 was a mass produced V10, whereas the carrera gt and LFA are limited production, true motorsport engines. not to disrespect our S85s, but they are not as race spec as those V10s. regardless, M5 still sits high in terms of audibly appealing notes.

I personally like the Carrera GT's exhaust note the best of any exotic I've heard. Its just right!

When I was at the LA Autoshow this year, the spokesperson told us that the LFA's exahust was tuned by Yahamaha to sound just like their race bikes. Thats why its so high pitched sounding. I think the S85's stock tune is pretty good, but could be a little more loud and exotic sounding if BMW wanted to do it that way. In the end, go figure, its a 4 door sedan that would most likely end up getting used to shuttle high end clients around, so I bet BMW detuned it a tad.

An M5 station wagon nonetheless!!! Thats sweetness!:goldcup:

My favorite engine sounds (other than any Ferrari) are the Ascari A10 YouTube - and the new Mercedes SLS (actually the best sound of all time imho) YouTube - The Fast and the Famous

The S85 can be as race as those engines but it sits in a 4 door saloon, beeing loud isn´t an option from the factory. Carrera GT and LFA are supercars, they were built to go fast and make a lot of noise. All V10´s sound different...M5, Gallardo, Carrera GT, LFA, Viper.

 

[John Morgan Evans]

I don't necessarily mean volume, but after talking to one of the BMW master techs (who also does work on supercars) he made some good points about how some of the components could be different, such as a lighter flywheel or different cams etc. The things that differ the GT and LFA from our V10s, but from the factory engine vs. engine we're not exactly at that level, IMO

[///Mike M]

Well yea, limited edition supercars -- id hope they soumd good!

I was thinking on a more practical, affordable level. Ya know, cars you see on the road every now n then.

 

[Revo]

My only point was in that video, with all those exotic cars, who knew the best sounding car would be the M5 coming by.

Yes, I agree the CGT has an incredible exhaust note, but the M5 does not lag far behind. The LFA sounds sick, but I'm personally more fond of the M5's tone than the LFA. The LFA is a bit too raspy for my tastes.

 

[John Morgan Evans]

I agree with you Revo.

And Mike, that makes more sense haha. In that case I absolutely agree

[KILLZBUGZ]

CGT by far my favourite or a straight anni ed Countach, the sound of a carbed Italian engine makes me drool

 

[JT///M5]

A V10 that revs to 8250 rpms is prety damn racy if ask me lol

I guess the S85 is not a true motorsport engine lol ahaha, what is a true motorsport engine, should we start with Honda? Thats just snob talk "no offense" The S85 exhaust note is pretty high on the list and some cars are better sounding, most are not! Those engines should be burning out if they were "race spec." aka engine rebuilds. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforu...ine-out-service-and-detail-picture-heavy.html

Is a cayenne engine race spec, however bored-out to 5.0 liters it won @ Daytona. Any engine which revs as high as or more than 6,500rpm, takes abuse everyday from its owner, and consistently performs is a "race spec engine" Look at the GTR, its a Nissan 350Z engine, bored-out, with twin turbos on it. Thats race spec, lol

[John Morgan Evans]

I was saying in comparison to those V10's, not race spec motors in general

more rotational mass vs less rotational mass, basically, another reason they cost twice the price of our humble M5's.

The V10 in my Ford Excursion doesn't even come close to these engines, I would say that the excursion vortec v10 is not as race spec, lol ahaha
