Haunting, crazy sound. Usually I'd contest that nothing sounds better than the group B Audi compound charged fire breathing 5 cylinder, but Simca is right up there among the best sounds that human mechanical engineering has accomplished. You'd never guess this car is being propelled by a series of small explosions. The sound emitted is seemingly sentient and too smooth and animalistic to conceive that it could ever possibly be driven by something as crude as combustion.
Man,that lil thing has a snarl like a junk yard dog! I LIKE IT!! I like the sound of the one from 1970 series. Had that subi from hell kind of sound to those pipes.
Very sad seeing the yellow Lola behind Graham Hill in the final shot. That car crashed early on Sunday morning 1972 and killed the driver outright ( lead the race on Saturday evening ). RIP Jo Bonnier.
I love these beautiful cars but i love the diesels too because they save the envirement they use less fuel and there is an audi lemans tdi that makes a great sound search on youtube you will find a video of it.
Were all the sounds Matras? Some I can tell for sure that they are. Some of the passes sound like Ferrari or Alfa's. The Matra is the loudest 3 liter V12 I ever herd. Chris Amon always said they always sounded like they made more power then they did because they had that loud screaming sound. Btw it is the same engine that was in the Ligier. In 1974 Shadow even tried them. If you look for it it's not to hard to find on board footage of Laffite in the Ligier at Monza, to bad they already had t
and this ladies and gentleman is how we are destroying our environment at an astonishing rate, id say job well done :D totally worth screwing everything up for this sound :D
Well no...personally I never did...but I would never do it, because I would end up with hating it, and hating the sound of a V12 engine is something HORRIBLE in my opinion...TRUST ME!
It isn't a lie. However, I am afraid that we sports car lovers actually don't give a fuck. I doubt racing cars could trigger a runaway greenhouse effect alone. In the future, sports cars will be like today's horses: you don't go around in them, you keep them in a stable well-cared for and bring them out for a spin around, without the constrains of road circulation, and that's it. As for the diesels, they sound like vacuum cleaners. Period.
