From the success of the V8 sound off a while back, I thought I'd do a V12 version. Here is the line up:

Aston Martin DB9

Ferrari Enzo

Mercedes SL65

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640

Jaguar E-type

Pagani Zonda

Ferrari 612

Let me know if I've missed any important ones.

Happy voting!

Lamborghini Countach
(documentary; noise starts at 0:50)

Oh, and that Merc SL is actually a V8 SL63. And, can you confirm that the Jag is a V12? Looks and sounds like a straight-six version.

well so much for youtube searching. The Jag is wrong. I'll get them both sorted quickly. :)

Oh man, sooo Pagani for this poll. It's such an awesome sound to my ears
 
Based on those vids - the Zonda by a mile, sounds amazing. The E-type sounds pretty darn nice too. It'd be better to hear the other cars under load though (but even then, the Zonda would still take it).
 
7.3 liter AMG-Mercedes V12 FTW!
 
Zonda. Except no substitutes. There just isn't another V12 that sounds like that. The SL65 and the Lambo V12 are closly followed by the Ferrari V12. But seriously, the Zonda just is pure sex.
 
You missed the best V12 engine ever.


McLaren F1's V12

Yah, that sounds like a six.

Here is a Jag XJ12 running the 1/4 - their exhaust isn't as good, but this is what the 12 is supposed to sound like:

Can we have two more options on the poll?:
1) One of each, please, V-12s are inherently ggaggagagagaaaa inducing
2) None of the above, Rolls-Royce Merlin for me:

Out of those, I voted for the Zonda F. Though if older cars are included, the Miura and several Ferrari's should be included.

Here is a sample of the sound a Miura makes, this was actually uploaded by a FG member.

Did it have to be a V12 engine in a roadcar?

I went with the Aston. But the Jag and the Zonda sound bad arse as well.
