So according to Ty, the only German made V8 that sounds great are from Mercs?

I dunno, I think the C63 sounds pretty good, as does the SLS, and the E39 M5 sounds good too.

Most of those cars sound pretty good. I have to admit that Audi's V8 and V10's aren't that great sounding. I actually think their smaller displacement engines sound way better.

That said, I LOVE the way the TT with the 5 banger sounds, and on a side note I really, really love the way the SL with the V12 sounds.

Spy Photos: 2014 Porsche 918 Coupe Caught Testing

Quote:

To go along with the Porsche 918 Spyder set for release sometime in 2013, Porsche is also readying a hardtop variant which we're calling the 2014 Porsche 918 Coupe.
Seen here testing in Germany, the road-going 918 Coupe was previewed by the 918 RSR (racecar) which debuted at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. This road car ditches the canards, massive wing, central wiper, pointless side-view cameras, side pipes and deep-dish racing wheels in favor of things real people use. Though we've got to say we liked the sidewall the racecar was sporting.
Power is set to come from the same 9,200 RPM, 562 horsepower V8 teamed with electric motors from the 918. Power goes to all the wheels and combined produces a dizzying 759 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque.

My god that rear wheel is massive.

Evo_power · May 11, 2012, 5:14 PM

Needs more rear wing, but other than that, looks pretty damn badass. Wished it had a v10, but I'm sure that V8 makes a fantastic noise.

teXas · May 11, 2012, 5:16 PM

It looks like an R8 with a generic front end to me.

Cooper "s" · May 11, 2012, 5:18 PM

lol... this you thing looks generic, but not the MP412c342iv2

teXas · May 11, 2012, 5:29 PM

Who said the McLaren doesn't look generic?

The Mac just doesn't look like an Audi.

Cooper "s" · May 11, 2012, 6:34 PM

Bah...get of my lawn Maclaren.

I can see it in the last 1/3 of the car, especially from the side. The resemblance is passing IMO, though.
