Sounds

With the stock exhaust, the Ram 1500 TRX already has a pretty imposing exhaust note. Those dual TRX pipes produce quite a ruckus hooked up to that 702-horsepower supercharged Hemi V8 engine. But for some people, enough is never enough, and one TRX truck owner wanted an even louder and more brutal exhaust note.

Hennessey Performance is working on what it hopes will be the fastest car in the world. The Venom F5 is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine that makes an insane 1817 horsepower in a car that weighs under 3000 pounds.

The 1960s and 1970s gave us some of the coolest looking concept cars of all time. The streamlined wedge-shaped cars were my personal favorites, like the Lamborghini Marzal, the Toyota EX-III, and this gloriously futuristic machine, the 1970 Ferrari Modulo 512.

Car fans know that there is more to a car than performance and style. It’s also got to make the right noises. To prove it’s got things well in hand, Toyota is teasing the new 2020 Supra with a blurry clip of the car running around under throttle and going brapity brap.

Ferrari and other sports car fanatics will go absolutely bonkers for this amazing video captured at the Ferrari Corse Clienti. Automotive photographer cvdzijden puts us smack dab in the middle of incredible Formula 1 and other race-prepped Ferraris as they take to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium.

We already know what the Aston Martin Valkyrie looks like. It’s not exactly the most sexy thing Aston has ever designed, but it sure sounds good. Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer recently tweeted out a brief audio clip of the Valkyrie screaming its lungs out, and sounding like an F1 car of days gone by.

During a recent charity event in The Netherlands, a number of car buffs turned out to show off their fancy and powerful sports cars, many of which packing engines and exhaust systems which crank out impressive sounds.

Possibly the most impressive truck ever made by Ram is the Rebel TRX Concept. This off-road beast looks incredible with its lifted suspension, widened track, massive 37-inch lug tires, black lower body trim, fantastic red-trimmed beadlock wheels, and stunningly rich red paint that needs to be seen in person to be appreciated.

A few months back, I had a chance to take a hot lap in a prototype of the new 2017 Camaro ZL1, and it was pretty darned impressive. I have yet to drive the production version, but a few of my friends in the automotive media recently did, and it looks and sounds fantastic.

The gang over at Lotus has taken the Evora 400 to the track and recorded some of the incredible sounds the car makes. The video was recorded at the Hethel test track that is home to Lotus.

Of all the cars that Bugatti has ever made, the Vision Gran Turismo concept is the coolest in my opinion. This car looked awesome when it debuted in digital form specifically for the Gran Turismo video game on the PS3.

A few weeks ago, we caught the delivery of a Bugatti Chiron in Monaco. It appears that the same people delivered a similar, if not the exact same Chiron to Vienna for the International Vienna Motor Symposium.

This video from YouTuber dlightswitch is about as minimal as it gets. All you need is a GoPro, a Lamborghini Aventador and a race circuit to replicate it yourself. What? You say you don’t have two of those three things?

The thing with exotic cars is that they look wild, and that is a good thing, but they also sound incredible. I love that automakers put time into how the car looks, handles and sounds to bring us the whole package.

Like supercars? Then take the next 23 minutes out of your day and tune in to this video, packed with over 140 awesome Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches and more as they strut their stuff for the camera – and more importantly, the microphone.
