The BEST Sounding F1 Cars of All Time (V8s & V12s)

[@Meihan_god]

The MP4/4 won 15 races not 14. All except one in a season.

[@cartillect]

You are very right, no clue how I messed that up even wrote 15/16 on the page prior

[@alexshank1414]

As soon as I saw/heard that, I came straight to the comments to see if anyone else caught it.

[@pakchiller23]

exactly. gerhard berger won in his ferrari in monza/italy. just 1 week after enzo ferrari passed away. it was for the tifosi fans a very special moment.

[@Aramis_Production]

@@pakchiller23 Berger Senna bromance was notorious. Berger was always making pranks to surprise Senna and sometimes even Ron Dennis. Until one day when Ron had enough if it and brought a bucket of water on the podium and had his revenge.

[@pakchiller23]

@@Aramis_Production i read both of gerhards book. Gerhard once threw a contract of senna out of a flying helicopter. The briefcase was very expensive and had the new contract with ron dennis inside and in brasil they made tv advertise an elephant stomp on the briefcase but its not destroyed. When they finally landed some guy from the airport brought them the briefcase bc he was thinking it fell of abd for gerhards surprise it was an intact briefcase. But when ayrton opened it he must throw it away bc pens inside exploded and the contract was useless….

[@thomassievers3362]

The 2004 V10 does it for me, the best engine ever build

[@gerry2310]

Agree 100 percent. The Renault was the best sounding in my opinion.

[@Bryan-jd7os]

Without a doubt!

[@mdaneilisaac]

Williams FW22 BMW the best for me.

[@harrygibbard3896]

Ohh yes 💯 agree but the 1965 was lovely sound

[@MAte925]

Needs to be fan takeover of F.lA to bring these proper non greenie howling race engines!

[@ciscoenerlorfrancisco3520]

the V12 sound of the Ferrari engine makes me travel to the past, good memories of the winter tests at the Estoril circuit, I miss those days

[@cartillect]

Sounds like an amazing experience

[@JohnM...]

Went to the British Grand Prix in 96, 97 and 98. Unforgettable experience. At the first one I went back to my hotel STONE DEAF for about 5 hours!!😃

[@chucko22758]

I had the life-changing experience of arriving at the Long Beach Grand Prix on raceday morning in 1980 (I think), walking past one of the 2 hairpins just as the morning warmup rolled out. At that time both Ferrari and Alfa were campaigning V12s in a sea of Cosworth DFVs and the early Renaut turbo V6. The noise as the cars accelerated off the hairpin was truly glorious, but the V12s really stood out. I later became a big Indy Car fan, and attended the Indy 500 in the glory days of the late 1980s and early '90s. The sound of an IndyCar turbo 2.65L V8 at well over 200 MPH would make your hair stand on end. The sound of 33 of them? Music to my ears.

[@mcseforsale]

I had the same experience in Montreal in '02. I remember that the sound of the cars was making it through my ear protection, but it was also slamming me in the chest. A *VERY* high pitched sound. It was amazing!

[@groupeone23]

I was there in Long Beach too. The Ferrari sound was insane. And the Alfa note basically made my skull explode. I can still hear it screaming past on the back straight. Epic.

[@scottkellydickey]

Leaving out the Matra V12 from this list is criminal. The banshee wail of this engine makes the rest of these choices sound like trucks 😂

[@TigerAnimationsYT]

The 412T2 sounds amazing, wish there were more of those in todays F1, oh well…

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

Mi sono iscritto al canale! Da vecchio pilota del secolo scorso dico che queste erano le vere F1! Grazie e ciao, Fabrizio -- like 2035

[@fabrizioviscardi40]

Thanks for sharing! All the best Fabrizio

[@papawoody9597]

As others have said, the V10 rea is my favorite. Also, the '66 BRM with its H16 sounds like nothing else on earth.

[@marksowerby1163]

Yep, and listen to them now.. Awful.

[@johnmarsh2078]

EEK Where was the V12 Matra? A glorious screaming, howling engine that not only powered F1 but took the MS 660/670 to wins at Le Mans in 1972 and 73K!

[@zzgarden]

The V12 Matra was easily the loudest engine in its time.

[@daviddelaney6757]

Well said, the Matra should have been on the list. The #1 Ferrari from 95' was great sounding but not as good as the ones in 90' and 91' .

[@11ASCT]

You feel the noise go right through you, amazing

[@MatsAtheist]

No Formula 1 car sounds as magical as the BRM V16 🤩

[@malsawmtluanga4159]

that v12 ferrari sound brings back so many memories

[@bentp4891]

Now those are some proper F1 cars

[@seagriffon1016]

Great video, sound clips not long enough. 😋

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

OOOOH BOY THEMS THE BESTIST ENGINES , BRING BACK THE V 12'S

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

thanks sir you are a discerning gent m.

[@mattgeiger1979]

I attended f1 at Indy for six years. The non traction control cars of 2000 we're just beautiful sounding. It gave me chills. As much as I love Ferrari the McLaren Mercedes of 99 00 01 had this scream to it that was freaking unworldly.

[@TurboWorld]

That last one gets the adrenaline flowing every time!

[@johnnycab8986]

That's not a BMW V10...most brutal, insane sounding engines ever in F1.

[@rocknrollajohnnyquid876]

Schumachers V10 was also a banshee

[@gunnarsandberg8132]

down shift v12:: THUNDER

[@drigobarreto]

F12T2 take my soul to my childhood Sunday mornings…superb

[@CraftyOldGit]

That's a nice selection spanning many decades. I would have included a V10 as many of those sounded great as well.

[@billrivenbark8983]

BRM type 15 with the V16. When it came screaming down the straights full throttle oh man!

[@cruisersupsupport4502]

How could you ignore the Matra V-12 that Ligier used?

[@marcoriva2710]

greate video, it doesn't feel real u only have 150 subs

[@cartillect]

Thanks so much, I do my best 😄

[@stianby]

The w196’s engine was not based on the DB600 engines used in the Messerschmitt

[@daveeastern7023]

F2004 , Sauber F1.06 and agree with the rest of the list

[@rossrreyes]

1990 USGP the Ferrari V12 (Prost & Mansell) sounded amazing but the Lamborghini V12 in the Lola sounded next level, other worldly, in person

[@davidtaylor2429]

No 1976 Matra?😢I think the same V12 engine lasted from about 68 through 1977. Not a great success but did wonderfully at LeMans....BEAUTIFUL exhaust note!!!!🎼🎵🎶

[@STFP88]

I would like to know the music you used! I just can hear how sick of a banger these instrumentals are!

[@SpeedIng80]

Imagine Schumacher would have come to Ferrari one year earlier. It was him who said, he would have won the title in the Ferrari 412T2 more easily than in the Benetton B195, so let's assume he would have won it. Maybe the V12 would have lived on for several years ... Where is the pill to be taken to switch into that matrix? ;-)

[@cartillect]

I want to move to that timeline haha

[@thomassievers3362]

That pill doesn’t excist, the pinnacle of F1 in terms of cars was 2004 in my opinion… 19000 rpm screaming v10

[@SpeedIng80]

@@thomassievers3362 In terms of cars maybe, or more in terms of engines. In 2004 I was already missing the variety of engine layouts, especially the V12 of course. And old Hockenheim was already 2 years gone.

[@RabihSaadguitars]

Agreed, the 412t2 sound godly...

[@cartillect]

It’s a beautiful engine, and the last v12 in F1. Going to make a video covering its while story soon

[@codyC423]

I see you're a fellow V12 enjoyer. They revved high and had that manik shreek like the V10's but sounded ballsy low down 👌

[@cartillect]

Can’t beat a high revving V12

[@jmurkz]

Blown diffuser for me every time for me, though that v12 I remember fondly

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Yep, V12, magic sound.

[@joehagen2611]

Fernando's V10 Renault ?

[@BAndersen-ee1xy]

I’m surprised you chose what is, imo, the best sounding F1 engine ever. This video doesn’t even do justice for it. I heard it back in the day and it created a mechanical symphony that I will never forget.

[@fabianho28]

Completly agree - the v12 of the 95 ferrari is one of the most beautiful engine sounds of all time , but in my opinion you forgot one engine in your list and that is the honda v12 from 91 and 92 ! (by the way the Mclaren Mp4/6 from 1991 is in my eyes the most beautiful F1 car ever made..

[@FrankKILLAM-u2k]

Back when F1 was F1! And you could tell the cars apart by the engine sounds!

[@ridealongwithrandy]

Matra V12 baby!

[@lukascavegn]

you forgot the BAR Honda. I don’t know which season. but at the Nürburgring race I attended, they had the most st insane/thrilling sound of them all.

[@simonjackson7269]

Stirling Moss parked that W196 on my foot ay Goodwood Festival of Speed!!

[@avatar94100]

Deserved number 1 spot

[@jonashofstaetter]

there were many v12 and v10 at the jim clark festival

[@keithbox1684]

The Parmalat car is beautiful!

It is beautiful 🤩

[@oneworld2642]

V10 F1 engine has the best sound.

[@IanHaver]

Shame you didnt include V16 as the BRM V16 wins hands down

[@leyn39]

Totally agree! One of my most pricesed possessions is a CD that came with Motorsport magazine, about 20 years ago. It includes car sounds from the Goodwood festival and one of the cars is the BRM V16.

italian engineering of the v12 is insane!

[@dassmortn]

the brabham sound soooo good

[@hillfaith5046]

These are classics but the most exhilarating race engine ever was the Ford Indy V8.

[@oliverstuart]

It won15 out of 16, I was there for the one they didn't A Ferrari 1-2 at Monza a month after Enzo Ferrari died. They would have won that too if it wasn't for a 39 year old driver in what would turn out to be his only grand prix start getting in Senna's way as he lapped him (although you could argue it the other way). Great video and the sounds sill make me shiver.

No 2000s v10s? 20k+ rpms of glory

[@jimclarke1108]

Yep Ferrari V12, some V10 engines sound great as well

[@shampotanker]

[@nickyjames1985]

Number 1 was well deserved but the 1998 McLaren Mercedes MP4 13 sound was glorious

[@edwardharris9810]

I loved the V8s from the 2010s they just sounded like nothing on earth you could feel the pressure from the noise in your ears as they passed. I've heard every era of cars since the 1980s and I love the V8s

[@robertcarr4172]

But the v10s sounded far better. V8s were a serious step down.

[@edwardharris9810]

@@robertcarr4172Everone has there personal preference and for me the V8s had it

[@robertcarr4172]

@edwardharris9810 i guess so. Also depends on which era you started watching f1. Iv been lucky enough to hear a variety of f1 cars... but nothing comes close to the first time i heard and saw JPM go past me in his 2001 williams Bmw v10 during testing. I could already hear the cars 5km from the track. And when he came past me while i was running to get my first glimpse... the sheer force and sound of that car was mind blowing.

[@davejpza]

The Matra/Simca v12 should be in there somwhere, imho quite near thd top!

[@Krezejaired]

Lotus E20 not being there feels like a crime

[@renatosa7256]

[@cheez1012]

2:10 Why does the information card not match up with the narration? 3.0 supercharged V8 vs 2.5 N/A i-8

[@marvinmurakami8828]

Loved this video but I have to disagree with the v6 choices. I thought the Matra and Senna's McLaren v10 should have been included.

[@cartillect]

Glad you enjoyed, i have bias towards the turbo cars. I love the sound of the Turbo 6s from the 80s haha

[@marcelf0252]

My personal favorite is the BMW engine from the Williams FW23 I believe, the one from 2001

[@johnmarsh2078]

Until turbocharging throttled back the explosive sound of high compression long valve overlap racing multis Honda made glorious sounding engines. Their mororcycle GP multis were incomperable!

Silverstone 90 British GP. I was at Abbey Corner. I did not need to look at the circuit to find out which car was coming as I could hear every different car. Best: Ferrari V12 with semi automatic gear box. 2nd best: Lotus / Larrouse Lamborghini V12. 3rd best: McLaren Honda and Williams Honda V10. Plumbing noise: All other Ford & Cosworth V8s.

I don't know why they cant bring back that V12 sound, I really really miss it. The V12 is the true sound of F1 not what we have today. If I became the president of the FIA, this would be the first thing I would do and bring back the V12 or V10 trumpet sound. Yes! I know its money and the end of the day.

[@MajSolo]

V10 always sound angry but V12 can play many notes. I like gurgling sound of V12 when going into a corner with throttle lifted And V12 is the KING when at low revs accelerating OUT of a corner. When at high speed and top revs to my ear it just sound like a V10 ... Anyways , a V12 can sing many more tunes then the others.
