[@evanwalters3333]

Hah! first comment on your comment!

[@ogrengbuddha5373]

the ford tarus sho v6 from the first sho was fitted with the Yamaha and cosworth v6 the v8 was fords

[@АрсенийФилатов-к6с]

Maybe a Caldina GT-T for next video?

[@mattmccoy2410]

Got cha

[@Rotming]

Mitsubishi legnum ? or vr 4 galant in general

[@googlak12]

oh my god that V8 lancia 😨👌😍

[@averagejo2462]

That Taurus brings tears to my eyes with its beautiful music.

[@Djhg2000]

The funny thing is that SAAB 9000, which was developed in parallel with Lancia Thema, got a 2.0L I4 with 175 HP and later a 2.3L with 225 HP. The V8 still had a more powerful sound, but that's about it IMO.

[@uroskostic8570]

I have Lancia Thema with 2.0 turbo 16v , 205HP

[@Djhg2000]

​@@uroskostic8570 SAAB did make the B204R with 205 HP for the Italian market ("Italian Aero") in the 90's, since the tax laws at the time taxed based on engine displacement. SAAB tuned their engines differently though. SAAB focused more on low end torque, but I will give you that your engine had higher peak power than the B202 Turbo the SAAB 9000 was introduced with. Both are nice and good looking cars IMO.

[@freman007]

Just as a minor point, the 8.32 had a 90° crank, which is what differentiated it from the Ferrari 308 engine. Normally V8 Ferraris used a flat plane crank that allowed the engineers to treat each bank as its own four cylinder engine while tuning. 90° V8s are smoother and have the nice V8 burble.

[@fluffychicken383]

I had no clue Ford ever put a v8 in a taurus. Really dig this channel. I've learned a lot about cars I never knew existed.

[@VisioRacer]

Many ideas come from you, so I just note them and use when the time is right. Everybody knows something different or there is something that only very few know and when it is shared with a right person or on a right place, many more learn about it, very often including me.

[@harveyhalloway]

That Ford Taurus V8 at the end sounds excellent!!

[@typeratte]

Mazda Eunos Cosmo, Nissan Stagea and Toyota Soares... reminds me the 1st Gran Turismo for Playstation!

[@The_Foulmouthed_Cypriot]

I watch your videos but some of them sometimes get missed. Thanks for another awesome video Visio. Part 1 was good but part 2 is great. Keep 'em coming bro. Big love from Cyprus.

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

I love Cyprus. One of my favourite places!

[@philippk1125]

4:59 the alfa sounds like the e46 m3

[@pintersgarage4327]

Holy shit it actually does! LOL XD

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

it really does

[@66Tinchoo99]

true

[@jasonthedogcatcher]

I thought the same.

[@Gluvich]

yes very similar maybe because of the type of exhaust pipe, the finish resonance sounds the same, still v6 and i6 are different :p

[@derekstocker6661]

They may not be the most beautiful cars but what fantastic sountracks! Love them.

[@VisioRacer]

Definitely

[@malachithegreatest615]

Nahh bruh the MKV R32 was hella beautiful.

[@samhaines8228]

love listening to the engines, especially when the audio quality is good enough to capture the nuances

[@VisioRacer]

True

[@spidermight8054]

RAV4 V6! It deserves to be here!

[@RJARRRPCGP]

@Spider mite 805 And the Rav4 is now boring, in comparison! At least since not too long before 2015, they became 2.5 L N/A 4 cylinder only.

[@jessebatemasteelsolutions]

you do deserve more likes and subs! love your vids!

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you

[@Thraakull]

oh man, the sound of that W8 Passat seems to me just so...balanced? Like a strong, fast-reving engine

[@arrowdynamic6892]

it honestly sounds like a muffled challenger

[@vitok-20]

7:55 Italian Subaru 😂

[@VisioRacer]

Sort of.

[@archechme]

I personally think the Alfa GTV6 made the best V6 sound. However, that sounds pretty special. As for the rest of the those cars, they're absolutely amazing and rare... so nice to see some proper unicorn cars.

[@whoohaaXL]

Love all these cars.... In addition to Lauren's legs!

[@VisioRacer]

Thumbs up

[@kingdingalingWA]

3:38 YOU WILL THANK ME LATER

[@deimosian]

dat ass

[@nikatskhovrebadze5803]

Thiccccc

[@mkvmyfast]

I rewlly enjoyed this video. Possibly one of your greatest videos so far please keep up the Great work!!!

[@VisioRacer]

Thanks

[@TheBlaert]

I once had a Rover Metro (or Rover 100 in the rest of Europe) that I fitted a 1.8 MGF VVC engine to. Engine fitted straight in since it's identical to the 1.4 16v that was already in the car. Changed the VVC mechanism though. I had ALOT of fun in that car. 160bhp and 850kg :)

[@99SHO91]

I daily drive a 99 ford taurus sho v8. 👍

[@Benedocta]

0:40 I just checked out that website and it seems to be some kind of islamic sect.

[@StaelTek]

i just read through wikipedia. thats some dark shit right there!

[@ryit.1885]

Just German things...

[@geryz7549]

On the back of the Thema it also says: "The true religion"... That's some scary stuff!

[@amancalledsun92]

Damn, now I know, that Volvo S80 V8, have same exhaust system like on Taurus SHO.

[@budaroddy]

awesome video as always bro !

[@VisioRacer]

Thanks

[@elfondo5291]

1:57 the car lagged

[@ralfsz95]

Great, enjoyable video, as all of them. Thank you, for your quality work and superb format. Keep up the good work!

[@VisioRacer]

I appreciate it, thanks

[@jaciuro]

Another note on the Toyota Soarer, years back during my time in Okinawa, Japan, those cars were used by the JP's as the Highway Patrol. A little box with lights would pop out of the roof, showing police strobes.

[@XaviSpit]

Note: The Engine of Thema 8.32 is the same engine of Ferrari 308, this is not derived of Dino; the engine of Dino is V6.

[@catjudo1]

The Dino 308 GT4, later labelled as a Ferrari 308 GT4, came with a V8. Thus, the Dino line did come with a V8. I didn't know this until recently myself.

[@fee9687]

Sterling Crockett it’s the best factoid to shut people up who claim the Dino wasn’t a Ferrari a Ferrari would never let a Dino wear its badge etc etc, shuts em right up when you tell them “they did”

[@sonyviva308]

Bro, the Ferrari engine in the Thema was originally Flat-plane type crankshaft. That's typical for Ferrari. Ferrari changed the crankshaft only when put it into the Lancia.

[@gabrielelivian113]

And it wasn't taken from the dino but the mondial/308

[@christianbozler1433]

very right. I was not aware, that they changed the crank for this one. Why? Vibrations cannot be such a problem. But the size of a x-plain CrShaft must have caused problems.

[@pgtmr2713]

They were probably just reserving the Ferrari sound for Ferrari only.

[@ExiledPiasa]

#1 is wicked sounding... love it! The skyline wagon is nice also. The Golf's got a good little rumble to it.

[@fordmanx3]

that seductive JCES sounds like a GM Vortec 4200 I-6 😍

[@idk90p]

Yo love the channel and keep up the good work! Very interesting stuff you upload

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you :)

[@nswiss19751]

Only Yamaha engine worth a fuck came in the Camry

[@NuclearGrizzly]

94-96 Chevy Caprice Station Wagon with the LT1 engine.

[@bryfunkenstein]

or the fleetwood caddy...

[@EFerrorfile]

The Golf R32 sounds amazing. Just DAMN.

[@DjMajsterOfficial]

The Fort SHO sounds soo sweet ^^ love this :)

[@admack4176]

Yamaha engine.

[@fullmindstorm]

You did your homework on this video,the content is excellent 👍

[@VisioRacer]

Thank you

[@donraggo77]

that was absolutely fantastic !!

[@ThePortuguesePlayer]

What about the Subaru SVX, with the epic sounding EG33?

[@VisioRacer]

That's good idea

[@alkalifenow1998]

I actually sat in the Lancia Thema with the Ferrari engine when I was working in the front office Hotel Astoria in Budapest and one of our regular guest arrived with that, back in 1992. We wre amazed by the car back than...

[@FabioGs007]

you're forgetting the Audi s6 and/or 100s4 produced between 1991 and 1997 with a fast 2.2 5cyl that only with a chip could raise it's power from 230 to 280-300bhp. there was also the V8 versiones with 276-290-326-360 bhp. Cheers!

[@TheNissannutter]

Could you perhaps do a best sounding diesels video?? i think that could be kinda cool

[@VisioRacer]

Noted yet

[@Gluvich]

mazda 3 rotors alfa gta and soarer my favorites :p

I appreciate your compliment very much, thank you

[@gosportjamie]

The Lancia Thema 8.32 was largely driven by the Italian secret service who have always used large Italian saloons for government work but found that what was available in the mid '80s didn't provide enough performance for offensive driving techniques when the vehicles were armoured (this was a time when attacks on local and national government by the Mafia were still common and before the Alfa Romeo 164 with its highly tunable 3.0 V6 engine was released, despite the fact that the 164, Thema, Fiat Croma and SAAB 9000 shared a jointly-developed floor pan.) Despite their involvement in the joint project and the fact that Alfa Romeo and Lancia were, at the time, part of the Fiat group, company politics meant that Alfa Romeo would not supply Lancia with the V6 engine so an alternative had to be sought and was found in the Ferrari compact V8 used in the 308 GTB and GTS (the Magnum P.I. Ferrari) as well as the 308 GTB4 Dino which was just about small enough to fit in the Thema driving the front wheels. There is some evidence that the ageing Enzo Ferrari also supported the project as his increasingly frail physical condition meant that he could no longer comfortably and gracefully get in and out of any of his own products and the company was not in a financial position to develop a new four-door car (this was the era just before Ferrari got taken over by Fiat) and, indeed, most of the board would not have agreed to the development of one as they felt it was not correct for the company image. As Il Commendatore would not consider travelling in anything that did not have at least a Ferrari input to it the Thema project was ideal. A lot of people seem to think that the 8.32 had the later 3.2 litre V8 from the 328 because of the model designation but what information there is available suggests that in fact all 8.32s had the older 3.0 litre engine, though there is information that suffests a second generation of the car was planned that would have used the 3.2 litre engine though it seems that none other than prototypes were built before the idea was dropped, partly on financial grounds as the 8.32 was far from successful, and also partly on engineering grounds as the 3.2 litre Ferrari engine was significantly different to the 3.0 engine and would have caused the already flawed driving characteristics of the car becoming even more flawed. The fact that the contract for government armoured cars had moved to Alfa Romeo with the 164 pretty much sealed the fate of the 8.32. As an aside people interested in the Thema, which is a largely forgotten car now, have tried putting the Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6 in Themas (an engine that the floorpan was, after all, designed to accomodate) and discovered that, even in standard form where it gives a lot of horsepower away to the V8, the V6 makes the Thema nearly as fast as the 8.32 and when tuned it is significantly faster largely due to the fact that the floor pan being designed to accomodate the V6 engine makes for much better engine positioning which gives much better traction, something that the 8.32, despite it's clever (for the time) viscous limited slip differential markedly suffered with...

[@austinlivingston349]

02+ maxima maybe an idea for the next one, has a VQ35. Love the vids

[@VisioRacer]

Hm, thanks

[@HoweDoYouDo1999]

The Cosmo with that 3 rotor lols like a handful and it’s funny I’m saying that with a rotary😂

[@markdubois4882]

68 HEMI Dart......The meanest engine a car company could ever shoehorn into a compact car back in the day.

[@arveebeats9835]

holy shit. that clip of 2:55 is in the netherlands :D great video btw, thumbs up before i watched ^^

[@VisioRacer]

Beautiful infrastructure you have

[@scareyaf]

That 2nd Soarer had a crazy misfire.

[@sebczykk1]

@@dodecahedron1 Do you know what sarcasm is?

[@juliocruz2981]

you should so a video of "engines with cars attached to them" like giant turbo set ups and what not that make the cars look tiny

[@MrMattRib]

Will you make the 15 best sounding Inline-4 engine sound? or maybe boxer engine

[@VisioRacer]

Yes

[@EliminatorPerformance]

+VisioRacer You should do "spotlights" which could be short videos focused on a specific engine... Boxer, 2jz, Ford Coyote v8, Chevy LS etc...

[@louisbuchenwald7820]

Add the Alfa 4c to that list then

[@raycollard1984]

I agree, the Alfa 4C probably has the best sounding 4 cyl engine ever.

[@louisbuchenwald7820]

+raycollard1984 ya i know i got a launch addition!

[@NaiquiCool]

i like old models (yougntimer) wonderful work ,but you foget the Lotus omega and other...But its a very good quality video and resech .Thanks !!

[@alexandermathar7780]

The Lancia Thema 8.32 was notorious for blown gasket heads !

[@SANDSCORCHER]

The Rover 75/MG ZT, with 2 valve, baby Mustang engine and factory RWD conversion would have been an appropriate addition to the list :-)

[@MiltonFerreira97]

7:33 sounds Like brian's skyline in Fast 2

[@mabuhayimplottingyourdemis423]

1JZ engines can emit the sound of Brian's Skyline no matter how you modify it. Unlike the RB you just need a single turbos you have 3 option of turbocharger.

The Lancia Thema sounds like a Mustang. BTW, awesome video

[@Wojciech940]

golf mk 4 in the R version was called Revolutionary, because of that superb engine. Newest golf will also be available in R version, but the legend will be powered by sad 2 litre. About the power, they say about 400 horses, but no matter how fast and agile, it won't be any revolution whatsoever.

[@BelAir1603]

Thema, 33 and Stagea are the best 😍

[@loveitorscrapit6673]

I always wanted a Lancia Thema great engine. Thumbs up.

[@paulusgaming]

what do you think about the new alfa romeo giulia qv? it has a ferrari 2,9 v6 that was derived from the v8 in the 488 gtb.

[@VisioRacer]

I like it

[@luckyhands4995]

that Mazda looked uncontrollable lol love it

[@zzebowa]

The mk2 Focus ST, with the 5 pot 2.5 turbo motor. Easily tunable and makes an amazing sound.

[@SlyFoxDJ]

volvo's 2.5T and saab's 2.3T

[@skulltrailRFL]

Damn the lancia thema 8/32, inside sounds like a Noble M600, without the noise of the turbos.

[@louisbuchenwald7820]

Can you do biggest engines white the least amount of power

[@bgd73]

that is a paradox, horespower runted still has large torque on big motors. No such thing as low power big motor.

[@Just1nNguy3n]

80s camaros were pretty terrible if I remember correctly.

[@MrRobbilun]

that is not what a paradox means

[@82coxy]

You'd have a full list of American cars if he made that vid.

[@aprilialover125]

haha right. that's exactly why he should do one.. @Illuminati Lord i believe car throttle made a video about that. Search for "engines with the lowest specific output". I recall the first gen V10 vipers to have a worthless specific output..

[@madmaniacloony]

0:34 space saver

[@fahdhaykal994]

the sound and the body style of thema is just like VW beetle with Subaru boxer

[@19chucki74]

That generation Soarer was our first gen Lexus SC300, and it was hot! But I think that the version of the 33 later became the U.S.-spec Alfa Romeo Milano. And that year Taurus SHO was kinda funky, given the design, but was still a nice seller for Ford, and that Yamaha V8 went on to reside in the Volvo S80 in the mid-2000s.

[@admack4176]

I had no ideas that Yamaha engine went into the Volvo s80, I have a v70. However that Yamaha engine was also slated o become an aircraft engine for the home-built market. I'm surprised I missed that transition to Volvo, thanks for the info, very interesting.

[@admack4176]

Well I found a 2010 Volvo S80 with a v8, but nothing from the mid 2000's.

[@xXxXcrosbykidXxXx]

Love the videos! But we need more z32/vg30dett love

[@Dorian_Kong]

Golf 4 r32

[@BLOEDVLEK]

No real point in getting a taurus SHO when you can get a crown vic, that will be 1,000,000 times more reliable and is rear wheel drive.

[@toddrobinson9170]

holy shit lanica thema makes such a godly noise plus one for the thema

[@ULookAngryGaming]

Have you ever featured the Volvo S60R on this channel? That's definitely a worthy car for an extraordinary engine video!

i was expecting the 850-R in this video

[@petitbruno]

The V8 from the Lancia Thema 8.32 is not a really the Dino V8, but from the 308 QV: 4 valve per cylinder

[@hariswasim1682]

Bruno Rancesi the Dino was never a V8 it was a V6

[@trbossdoggy]

Damn there are 2 Passat W8's for sale now in my country, and one is in my neighbourhood ! lol but gotta sell my car first :|

[@alxo123]

You should do top 10 best sounding motrcycles.

[@The32Eliminator]

what about the volvo 5 cylinder engine that is in the ford focus st/xr5

[@TheVeenmeister]

It wasn't the Dino where the Thema 8.32 engine is based on. It was the Ferrari 328 QV. Only it had less power. The Dino had a v6 which was the same as in the Lancia Stratos..

[@SuperScottCrawford]

first off, great videos. i like how your theme is vehicle sthat otherwise would be unknown to the general public. the footage is unique. and no music is a definite plus. it's like watching a mini-documentary. too bad you didn't include the v6 version of the sho. i had one (obviously) - a '93 white with white rims. 7000 rpm redline with the very smooth yamaha built engine. i do know for a fact that the regular ford taurus was an unreliable car. the engines in them were apparently garbage. not so with the yamaha motor. very strong and very reliable. maybe it'll be worthy to include in one of your future videos.

[@LOLHICRONO]

i love the mazda cosmo, it has such a clean look and the interior is pretty cool. shame i'll never buy a car with a rotary engine(s) though

i had the alfa 33 with this engine and it was the most fan car to drive and i tell that because i used to own a boxter a z3 and a punto about 250hp it was a truly sleeper car i remember going against saxo vts and punto gt and they did not know what to say i truly regret selling it

[@Driiven]

Mazda Millennia with the miller cycle V6, Nissan March SuperTurbo (Super & Turbocharged), and the Mitsubishi Galant / Legnum VR4 (7th /8th gen).

[@VisioRacer]

That was clever idea

yes
