But if you were to ask fans what the best sound in motorsport is, we’d wager a V12 575GTC Ferrari (aided and abetted by the distinctive quivering shifts of a sequential gearbox) would lurk close to the top of the list.
The Ferrari isn’t so much a musical instrument as an orchestra on wheels, able to produce any number of noises deeply embedded in motorsport. That starts with the piercing howl of the exhaust as the engine spins into, as the car sits on its air jacks and subdues to a guttural splutter at idle.
Driver safely in place, it’s time for the main event to begin. As we chunter down the pitlane, every facet of the Ferrari screams ‘go’ as we reach the pit exit and get our first flavour of the V12 working through the rev range as the engine’s smooth-bore roar explodes into a scream as it bounces through gearbox cogs. It’s as good an advert for natural aspiration as you’ll find anywhere on the interweb.
