I don't know about anyone else, but the Maserati GranTurismo S has to be one of my favorite sounding cars of all time. I wouldn't call it the best, but it's easily top 10. I don't care if it's deliberately engineered to sound this way, or that it really isn't that quick. I've had the good fortune of living in a town where there are at least two of these that come out on a semi regular basis, and every time, no matter what I'm doing, I turn off the radio and roll down my windows. They sound amazing even at idle and cruising speeds.

I know heads will roll for this one, but this is the sound V8 Ferraris should be making. I've never been a fan of the flat-plane V8 sound the F430 and 458 make.

Awww yiss. Cannot agree more.

If I ever want to make a horrensoudly high-powered time-attack style build, it'll be a Maserati Ghibli II with a 4.7l V8 from a Granturismo supercharged by Novitec.

650bhp on pump petrol should be a good starting point methinks.
