[Closed] If you like exhaust noises...

So much for your VTEC kicking in. That's ferocious.

Did you spot one of the pistons half way through - it wasn't much smaller than the drivers seat 🙂

[edit] 7 litres per cylinder apparently - it's 28.5 litre 4 cylinder engine.

Thanks for sharing that.

The compression as he was turning the starting handle looked colossal, you wouldn't want that to kick back on you.

I love seeing old mechanical things being rebuilt from bits. The first firing of an engine is always really special after a rebuild.

Check out the exhaust, induction and gear noise on this BRM V16

I thought he was going to break his leg when he was cranking it over.

That BRM Video is great, I first saw it a couple of years ago and I still can't quite work out if it's real or just very good timing between the video and audio 🙂

Wow. Not-so-small FIAT. Want. Possibly more than a blower Bentley.

I'm curious too.

I can't seem to find the original version of Claud Lelouch's ' C'etait un Rendezvous'. It was a masterpiece of editing sound with images.

Good interview with the bloke who made it here;

Voila

brrmmm, brrrrmm..

I love these threads.
🙂

I like to keep things simple with a little V8 (skip to 1.10)

needs more cowbell

A DTM Merc with a JUDD engine for hill climbing 😀

Oooohhh those hill-climb videos are always good

and a more modern take, a BMW JUDD hill climber

AHEM!!!

AHEM!!!

Shame they had the mic so close that you couldn't here it properly

Just a picture but this is a car thread and the fireproof speedo's caught my attention. Can't imagine a modern F1 pit lane allowing that.

That Fiat is terrifying, love the chain drive / drum brake combo 😀

This is a winner:

As is this:

Someone forgot to book the bikini clad girls to hold the umbrellas

20,000 hp

it's a physical experience ! the video doesn't do it justice the shock waves that hit you in the grandstand are amazing

They are all TOO POWERFUL.

This is much better:

at lost of these sounds horrible, maybe it's my laptop speakers.
that motorbike sounds awesome though.
how can that XFR sound so different from the front than from the back??

Today's F1 cars sound crap, not so the AMG medic car though!

Bring back the V12 Ferrari !

I reckon that on the Jaguar XFR video, from the front the main sound you hear is the whine of the supercharger, & obvs from the rear it's the exhaust note. (Either that of the whine is coming from the stw bedwetters in the 'Modern cars are too powerful for uk roads' thread...)

Plenty of crackers but when it comes to sound this is a hall-of-famer.

There's a brilliant video of Johnny Herbert lapping it too.

Thanks for that wwaswas

That was fantastic

Ferocious thing, makes me think about the guys that built and drove these monsters

And also wonder what will follow the combustion engine, whatever it is I can guarantee it won't be as exciting

These engines are a bit... Small

Ring a ding ding

Love the sound of the Sea Fury but somehow nothing quite comes close to the sound of a Rolls Royce Merlin... Or two... Or eight...

I'll lower the tone with a triple-decker from Auckland, featuring a Crown Lager truck from the nineteen suxties…

That Fiat is totally mad, you'd be a brave man to drive that. Looking forward to the film.

Following on from the 787b, this gives me the James May "fizz"

Is that a serious contribution, Ox? Dreadful staccato footage of a spitting, spluttering car being driven on lousy lines because it would be boring to watch on the right line.

Drifting (motorsport)

Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, causing loss of traction in the rear wheels or all tires, while maintaining control from entry to exit of a corner. A car is drifting when the rear slip angle is greater than the front slip angle, to such an extent that often the front wheels are pointing in the opposite direction to the turn (e.g. car is turning left, wheels are pointed right or vice versa, also known as opposite lock or counter-steering.

As a motorsport discipline, professional drifting competitions are held worldwide and are judged according to the speed, angle, showmanship and line taken through a corner or set of corners.[1]

History
Origin

Although the origin of drifting is not known, Japan was one of the earliest birthplaces of drifting. It was most popular in the All Japan Touring Car Championship races. Motorcycling legend turned driver, Kunimitsu Takahashi, was the foremost creator of drifting techniques in the 1970s. This earned him several championships and a legion of fans who enjoyed the spectacle of smoking tires. The bias ply racing tires of the 1960s-1980s lent themselves to driving styles with a high slip angle. As professional racers in Japan drove this way, so did the street racers.

Keiichi Tsuchiya (known as the Dorikin/Drift King) became particularly interested by Takahashi's drift techniques. Tsuchiya began practicing his drifting skills on the mountain roads of Japan, and quickly gained a reputation amongst the racing crowd. In 1987, several popular car magazines and tuning garages agreed to produce a video of Tsuchiya's drifting skills. The video, known as Pluspy, became a hit and inspired many of the professional drifting drivers on the circuits today. In 1988, alongside Option magazine founder and chief editor Daijiro Inada, he would help to organize one of the first events specifically for drifting called the D1 Grand Prix. He also drifted every turn in Tsukuba Circuit in Japan.
Popularity

One of the earliest recorded drift events outside Japan was in 1996, held at Willow Springs Raceway in Willow Springs, California hosted by the Japanese drifting magazine and organization Option. Inada, founder of the D1 Grand Prix in Japan, the NHRA Funny Car drag racer Kenji Okazaki and Keiichi Tsuchiya, who also gave demonstrations in a Nissan 180SX that the magazine brought over from Japan, judged the event with Rhys Millen and Bryan Norris being two of the entrants.[2] Drifting has then since exploded into a massively popular form of motorsport in North America, Australia, Asia and Europe.

Drifting has evolved into a competitive sport where drivers compete mostly in rear-wheel-drive cars, to earn points from judges based on various factors. At the top levels of competition, the D1 Grand Prix in Japan pioneered the sport. Others such as Formula D in the United States, DRIFT ALLSTARS King of Europe and the British Drift Championships in Europe, WDS in China, Formula Drift Asia in the Malaysia/Singapore/Thailand/Indonesia, NZ Drift Series in New Zealand and Australian Drifting Grand Prix Greek drift championship (drift wars) [1] have come along to further expand it into a legitimate motor sport worldwide. The drivers within these series were originally influenced by the pioneers from D1 Japan and are able to keep their cars sliding for extended periods of time, often linking several turns.

That v12 Ferrari is what F1 cars should sound like.

This is a better sounding Ferrari V12 however. (4 mins in for some nice in and out of car footage)

I'll see your GTO and Raise you

Not sure if this would pass the MOT...

Is that a serious contribution, Ox?

It's what kids these days are into.

Nobody seemed to mind the 787, so I thought the most recent imagination of the 4-rotor might fit in. Maybe if we make it a 2-rotor and stick some dirt under the wheels instead?

EDIT - actually, no. That just sounds like a 2-stroke model aeroplane

You need a 24 litre W12 for proper cartoon jalopy exhaust noises;

Now I bet that does less mpg than it has cylinders <3

Jimjam, funnily enough I went to find the P4 video 1st but form the GTO just has a special something for me.

Wait for it......

Nice bit of Driving God drift at 2:30.

God that 250 sounds amazing. Great to see someone really giving it some with a car like that - absolutely the correct thing to do!

Edit: Needs more 5 cylinder goodness

Zakspeed Turbo Capri. Skip to 6.00 for the in car video. Race 1 is a bit boring but race 2 is pretty cool.

I was there at the bike show when they were running the H2R on the rollers and sadly the youtube clip just doesn`t do it any justice 😯 😀
