Best sounding car/engine ever?
Audi Quattro 5 pot
I think so
I know it's been done before but what's your favourite sounding car/engine?

I think the Audi is up there, but I couldn't pick a "best".
Some suggestions though
Something beasty like the Hideous looking Mansory Mclaren SLR
Or the obnoxious Mazda 4 Rotor
and for a bit of raspy ford. The millington Diamond series.
EDIT: How could I forget the zakspeed Escort ( when he hits the start line at 30+ seconds! )

best sounding engine by a long way is a supercharged Rolls Royce Merlin on full chat.
Beats anything in cars hands down.

Gotta agree with this. That's like the sound of god. First time hearing it it made the hair on my neck stand up. As good or maybe even better than the best songs out there.
Still gives me chills:
Shame that digitalization has ruined some of the quality.

i know its a bit random but i always love hearing aircraft APU starting and engine runs
thats just the APU (auxiliary power unit) /generator not a main engine
they sound like old school turbo, lots of spooling then full chat.

My first thought when I read the thread title was "Sport quattro": glad to see the first post was the same!
My two picks would be the S1E2 quattro...
...and the Group A Impreza:
