ALL THAT MECHANICAL JAZZ!

-

Lamborghin­i

These iconic Italian aerofoils have never been initiated on the perks of silence. From the Miura to the modern-day Aventador and Huracán ranges, all have flippantly violent but oh-so-good-to-hear decibels.

Aston Martin

V12 engines have a graceful but ferocious timbre. We can’t say the same of the Vantage V8s though.

Maserati

You’d imagine that any noise engineer from Maserati has to retain the musicality of the brand presented beautifull­y in the Quattropor­te. It’s down a few bars, a distinctly dark, melodious and alto-like wail halfway between a flugelhorn and a trumpet.

Audi

Audi has created some prolific shouters over the years and the R8 V10-Plus is the principal soloist. However, nothing under R1-million matches the sonorous, disarming wail of the multi-award winning five-cylinder engine fitted to the TT RS and Audi RS 3s at full tilt.
