Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

The V12 in the Aston Martin V12 vantage just sounds glorious.

That engine is one of the best sounding ones ever to me, always had a thing for v12 Aston :3

Funny to think that it started out as basically two Ford Mondeo V6’s stuck together.

V12 TDI from Audi

Crazy engine

You get a V12 SUV, crazy, V12 TDI which mean turbo’s and diesel sound
Diesel also equals immense torque, i’d buy that over a truck

Amg v12 in the Zonda.

YES 1000 times YES!!!

Absolutely!

definitely

Well this sounds pretty good to me - Jaguar XJR15. https://youtu.be/ugLvq-vzAIc?t=68
Also Ferrari 250GTO, Aston Martin V12, LaFerrari V12.

Lamborghini’s 6.5L V12 from the Murcielago. Especially with the exhaust change they made on the SV. The way this thing wails is just absolutely insane. Gives me goose-pimples every time I listen to it.

Basically this engine, but in the Diablo Jota. Although this engine was Lamborghini as it appeared in their first ever car, and although it changed quite a bit, it officially went out of production when the Murcielago was superseded by the Aventador.
Truly a legendary power unit.

6.3L V12 from the Ferrari F12 and LaFerrari

BMW S70/2 from McLaren F1

came here for this, thank you

I believe this still holds the record for the most powerful naturally aspirated engine. The McLaren F1 also still holds the record for the fastest N/A car.
