TOP 5 - BEST SOUNDING 1990's TOURINGCARS

TOP 5 - PLAYLIST
• TOP 5
People might ask "where are the E30 M3 DTM and Sierra RS500?".
They raced in the 80's and 90's, but originate from the 80's.
And I wanted to focus on cars that were introduced in the 90's.
I also realise that this isn't the best footage of the Volvo S40, but it does sound incredible. And I haven't seen the 850 yet.
Just outside my TOP 5 are the Mercedes 190e EVO 2 DTM, Opel Vectra STW and Renault Laguna BTCC.

All DTM cars in the mid 90's was simply a peak in motorsport history. I feel more than lucky to have experienced it in real life!

[@fr4gl3]

[@DYNANiK.official]

same here!

[@petermallmann8120]

Exact the same. Great stuff and real racing fun.

[@PatsFanGermany]

Me too. I even got to take pictures of the inside of one. It was the 1996 Opel test car that Volker Strycek (#23) got to participate with at the Nürburgring event. They gave me about an hour in the pits at the Nürburgring to try and get enough pictures to stitch together a panorama that would've gone up on the Opel Motorsports website. Unfortunately the digital camera that I had access to was too crappy to get decent quality photos.

[@Feuerbasis]

Merc and the Alfa sound awesome. The Alfa is a little heavier cause its 4x4. Best sounding N/A 6 cylinders in racing to this day imo.

[@renaultclio1400]

​@@Feuerbasis RWD

[@PatsFanGermany]

@@renaultclio1400 nope. The Alfa and the Opel were 4WD. The Mercedes was RWD, but to compensate for the lack of traction, Mercedes integrated a movable ballast weight, that moved to the rear when accelerating and to the front when breaking. Those cars in 1996 were more hight tech than F1 at the time. The 1996 Calibra had what today is called DRS. And it had movable shutters in front of the front air intakes. They closed on the straights and opened in the corners. That way the 1996 Opel Calibra V6 4x4 reached over 300kph at the long straights of the old Hockenheimring. Being the first touring car to ever be that fast.

[@marcusantonius6242]

155 V6 Ti.... infernal sound...epic

[@Jyllenberg]

Alfa sounds so brutal compared to others, more like 70's and early 80's F1 cars. But all of them sound good, Volvo sound would need recording alone without other cars disturbing.

[@marcoferrari1995]

The Alfa sends spine tingling icy cold shivers down my spine with that sound 🚘. What a sound !

[@PatsFanGermany]

The 1996 DTM (actually ITC) cars are rightfully on the top of this list. But the best sounding of them all is missing: The 1996 Opel Calibra V6 4x4. This 2.5l V6 with a pneumatic valve drive by Williams GP reved up to 12.000 RPM and to this day I get goose bumps remembering this sound. Unfortunately there is only one (of the 9 cars in existence) in working order today. That's the championship winning #7 ( black with cliff logos) of Manuel Reuter. The problem is that the software needed to even start these cars was IP of Zakspeed, not Opel. And since the partnership didn't end on the best of terms, Zakspeed kept the software. That's why you can see/hear 1996 C-Class cars running at classic touring car events, but no Calibras.😢 But there is at least one 1995 Calibra ich in private possession and in working order. But the 1995 sounds slightly less awesome.

[@Cekkete]

155 sound like f1 engine

[@Nickoboss29]

[@raveinus]

DTM from 80 - 90 ist the best of all time .

[@jigzonyt517]

I think No1 is deserved. Nothing sounded like the 155 at that at the time. The c klasse is a close 2nd

[@adamclarke7394]

One that technically fits into this category is the Nissan Skyline HR31 Group A. Turbo engines usually aren't anything special, but this DOHC 6-cylinder turbo sounds special.

[@yesexactly3120]

Pretty goated ngl

[@NegerKim]

Technically it doesn´t as it´s an 80´s car.

[@warwickhewitt8844]

The Nissan GTR Skyline "Godzilla" blew away the 5 litre V8 Aussie touring cars so they banned it. It was the 4WD and 4WS systems that also gave it an advantage over the V8 Holden and Ford RWD in the wet.

[@lautista27]

@@warwickhewitt8844 The Ford teams were still running Sierras until end of 1992 when GT-R (and international Group A) rules were scrapped. In terms of sound - look up the 1991 Bathurst Top Ten lap Peter Brock did in the VN Group A (which debuted in 1991 so qualifies here). They were revving them so hard to try and keep up with the GT-Rs and RS500s that year, sounded great.

That's from the intake manifold on NA engines. Basically the air is fed straight to engine without restriction. Kind of the same principle as a straight exhaust.
