The 11 Best-Sounding Race Cars\u00a0Ever<\/h1>\n

This was a really hard amazing car list<\/a> to put together. There are just way too many great race car noises throughout history to definitively say which is the best sounding race car ever.<\/p>\n

One thing that was clear when creating this list of the best sounding race cars was that engine size didn’t matter to aural pleasure. Sounding great isn’t just for cars with V8s and V12s. Rotary engines, turbo’d 5 cylinder cars and even a dragster all make our list.<\/p>\n

The raging\u00a0sound of a race car is one of the most exhilarating elements of motorsport. We wanted to celebrate the wonderful car sounds we have loved. So here it is, our list of the best sounding race cars ever built.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0McLaren F1 GTR<\/a><\/h3>\n

The McLaren F1 GTR<\/a> was a racing variant of the McLaren F1 sports car first produced in 1995 for grand touring style racing. Basically, Gordon Murray agreed to modify the F1 into a racing car.<\/p>\n

In 1995, McLaren<\/a> took advantage of the new GT1 regulations to take the McLaren F1<\/a> to Le Mans.\u00a0Because of the similarity to a race car, extensive modification was not needed to actually turn the F1 into a racing car.\u00a0The\u00a0V12 engine was required to use an air restrictor to limit horsepower to around 600\u00a0hp, actually making the racing car less powerful than the road car, yet faster and more nimble due to a lowered overall weight. It also sounded insane<\/p>\n
