You would have seen the developments in Formula 1 do not say, but ever had your ear-plugs needed if you have a circuit searched. These seven herriemakers food namely eardrums as breakfast.

Fortunately, we have not only history books and stories about the cars of ‘the old days’, but we have, thanks to YouTube about hours of footage of autosporticonen as the Porsche 917, the McLaren M8F and the Mazda 787B. We were looking for seven brutal cars in front of you, so that you have the rest of your Saturday afternoon to enjoy their lovely sound.

Disclaimer: it is not a top 7, because the order we will probably never agree. Additions are of course welcome in the comments.

Ferrari 412T2

We start with ” the last of the mohicans’, because the Ferrari 412T2 was the latest Formula 1 car with a V12. It is sad, but so good, these cars never sound.

Audi Quattro S1

The Group B rally cars made for a spectacle in which the lover with melancholy to think back. The HORSEPOWER race was unprecedented, because the manufacturers were allowed to complete their course. We had here also a Lancia or a Ford can be heard, but the Audi Quattro S1 is still just a bit tastier.

Porsche 917

Porsche had the 24 hours of Le Mans for the introduction of the 917 never won, but he did that with this icon, the prompt two times. Nice to know: he sounds terrifying and delicious.

BMW Z4 GT3

Also the more modern toys has always been a good roffeltje. Take the BMW Z4 GT3, BMW’s car for the various GT3 championships. This car features a 4.4-liter achtcilinder, a further development of the block from the M3 GTS. Not a bad choice if you ask us.

BRM V16

Ever turned it in Formula 1 to nothing else than brute power. The BRM V16 was anything but reliable, but that would be spontaneously forgotten when his roar is heard.

Mazda 787B

If you were not yet convinced of the wankel engine, then you’ll after hearing the Mazda 787B. The car came perhaps raw speed deficit, but thanks to the reliable R26B-block won Johnny Herbert, Volker Weidler and Bertrand Gachot in 1991, the 24 hours of Le Mans.

McLaren M8F

McLaren had at the end of years ’60 with the help of Chevrolet need to be a capable V8 to build, but we are not bothered at all. Americans know, however, how to make a block build that’s fast and sounds like-ie, you each time can eat.
