The 5 sports car sounds that have hit the mark in 2015

Ferrari F12tdf

We continue with our year-end reviews, reviews that sometimes have a lot to do with the whole string of sports that we have been getting to know throughout 2015. Precisely sports cars should sound, or so we understand it, intoxicating sounds that make us think that we are facing a high-performance car. These are the 5 sounds that have hit the mark in 2015.

The sound is something so particular and unique that a true purist or petrol head I could guess the car just by listening to its exhaust notes. Unfortunately in an increasingly politically correct world the sound is fading. Or transforming. There are not a few new cars that bring with them a simulated sound from the speakers. While on the outside the notes are less graceful. Let's look at 5 quirky and not-so-quirky acoustic concerts we've seen in 2015.

Lamborghini Aventador SV

The Lamborghini Aventador SV is one of the radical sports that we have known throughout this year 2015. One of the most radical. It is the limit, at least for now, to which the Italian brand can take its supercar, the one that enjoys the maximum Lamborghini DNA. Among that DNA is your engine atmospheric V12 and high turns. Give up nothing less than 751 horses of power, being the most powerful Aventador that has been for sale.

The V12 is to blame for the sound that has made us fall in love once again. Its four exhaust tails howl a unmistakable sound with Lamborghini stamp, not to mention that they even spit fire. It is the latest madness of the Italian brand, which also comes with revised aerodynamics, weight reduction and a top speed of more than 350 km/h. If that falls short, you may be more interested in an Aventador SV Roadster with a removable roof.

Ferrari 488 GTB

Ferrari is renewing its range and moving to more efficient mechanics. In addition to that when F1 it goes to the turbo, their street cars too. That is why in 2015 we have known the Ferrari 488 GTB, a new edition of the sports car that loses displacement but gains power and performance. Still relying on a V8, but now 3,9 liters and double supercharging. Generate 670 horses and 760 Nm of torque.

The 488 GTB is one of the sports cars that has hit the mark in 2015, we don't know if it's for the better or for the worse. It has been lost that purity of sound at high turns of the previous atmospheric V8, but at the same time Ferrari has managed to replicate not only the operation of the atmospheric, but also the sound. In a way. The presence of the turbo hiss is noticeable, but I'm sure we'll all keep looking, necks up, for the car when we hear it approaching.

Porsche RS 911 GT3

The Porsche 911 GT3 RS has already appeared in several of our year-end reviews. They are own merits. The most radical 911 is probably also the last breath of naturally aspirated engines in the Porsche range. It uses a 6-cylinder mechanics in boxer arrangement with 4.0 liters of displacement. It's bigger than the GT3 outright, and more powerful. emanate 500 horses of power and force is sent only to the rear wheels.

The sound is intoxicating, one of the best of 2015. The reason is simple, its lap climbing ability. If we listen to it, we will know that this bellow only comes from an exhaust with a Porsche stamp. It is radical in its conception, designed more to be enjoyed on the circuit than on the street. It's frivolously fast, too, locking in 0-100km/h acceleration in just 3,3 seconds. There is only with automatic change PDK.

Ferrari F12tdf

Ferrari has given the surprise this year with another swan song. Is another one last gasp for its naturally aspirated V12 engines, Or so it seems. The Ferrari F12tdf owes its name to the Tour de France, a race that it dominated and which is now displayed on the body of its most radical F12. Under the skin there is an engine 12-liter naturally aspirated V6.2 with 780 horsepower of power Ferrari has put all the meat on the grill to replace its predecessor, the 599 GTO.

His sound is commendable, a high pitched roar of V12 as only Ferrari knows how to do it. Its capabilities are just as spectacular, and it is that there is not only more power, but also new aerodynamics and a substantial reduction in weight to create the Ferrari of track day definitive. Of course, they will only be manufactured 799 units, so it will be very difficult for you to get one even if you have the fortune that the brand asks for it.

Porsche 911

I was hesitating whether or not to place the new Porsche 911 on this list. And it is going to create a stir among the followers of the 911 saga. As you know, Porsche has renewed its 911 and has forgotten atmospheric mechanics in the Carrera and Carrera S. Now comes a boxer engine from 6 cylinders and 3.0 liters with 370 and 420 horses of power for the Carrera and Carrera S respectively. It is one of the biggest advances in the history of the model.

I put it on this list because Porsche has managed to maintain a frankly true to the atmospheric sound, especially when we install the optional sports exhaust. It has lost that howl at high revs, yes, but it is still a sound that falls in love and, above all, that is very reminiscent of the typical notes of Porsche boxer engines. In turn, it is more efficient, has more power and runs longer. If we leave the radical purist side, almost all advantages.
