For me probably one of the most important aspects of owning a car is how it sounds. I want my car to appeal to my ears and I want to be delighted every time I let the revs climb up the tachometer. Something tells me I am not alone in that feeling either.
In the U.K. there is an event called Wilton House. Essentially it is an early morning run with some of the most exotic and rare vehicles on the planet. Ferrari F430s and Lamborghini Gallardos are standard issue at this kind of thing.
To impress you have to have a Pagani Zonda, Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT or Koenigsegg CCXR or the like. And they showed.
Thankfully someone was smart enough to have a camera on hand for when the convoy departed and my God it is six minutes and 30 seconds of some properly outrageous autos and their sounds.
Dial up the volume and let us know what YOU think is the BEST sounding auto in this filled up compilation. Check out the laundry list below...
Every so often life throws up one of those moments where you just stand back and think, that was something quite special... well, today was one of those days.
Wilton House founded some 4 years ago by Jay Broom and the Earl of Pembroke, it is tradition to have an early morning run, and some fun before the mass of Supercars take over Wilton House.
