Can someone tell me what car this is ?

[Jeremy_Clarkson]

I found this video and want to know what car is making this beautiful sound

 

[Finnish Bomber]

Sounds like a VTEC, probably a Honda

 

[eight6er]

It sounds like a Ferrari f430, they can sound very similar to a Honda.

 

[JCE]

Sounds like an I4, does make a Honda like noise but then again the quality of the audio isn't very good from inside the car. If it was outside of the car we could definitely determine if it was a Honda, Nissan or Toyota.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

The tag for the video says f430, so if it's the driver posting then that should be it.

Worth noting that if you follow the links it's tagged with "Ferrari" and "F430"...

Edit: Tree'd

 

[socomplayer2]

I think is maybe a civic si? It cant be a 430 because the car shown in the video is not nearly as fast as a 430, nor as loud.

 

[homeforsummer]

He doesn't say he's flat out... and let's face it, average youtube video sound quality is hardly the best with which to judge how loud something is.

I'll go with a Ferrari, or something similar with a manumatic transmission. The sound the car makes at low rpm is definitely not a 4 cylinder, it sounds pretty gnarly. The dash of the car is also very low and it has some newfangled headlights. Keep in mind the camera is mounted far forward and appears zoomed in so the car is probably going faster than what it looks, cameras have a way of messing up sense of speed.

Also, the people on that highway need to get their act together and get the hell out of the passing lane. What a bunch of slow idiots!

You're Jeremy Clarkson, shouldn't you know know what car it is?

....unless of course you're NOT Jeremy Clarkson.

I'm onto you.

Yep, I thought the same thing, it's not a 4 cylinder. I've been in 2 f430 and they sound like a civic vtec when you rev them hard. Plus as mentioned above, it says it in the tags for the video so, that confirms it for me.

 

[tlowr4]

Lol Joey!

But this Jeremy's middle name is Underscore. TG's Jeremy's middle names are Charles Robert. So this must be a different Jeremy. Stands to reason dunnit?

Can't help myself on this one, either.

Sometimes, Top Gear is simultaneously the best and the worst thing to ever happen to this forum.

I find it interesting that normal people can't distinguish between a 4-pot Honda and a V8 Ferrari by sound alone from a Youtube video, but everyone in the GT5 forum can tell apart a 1.8 and a 2.0 Ford engine from same.

Its probably just this video - I myself was skeptical before watching the video and the similarity is uncanny as all i have driven for the past 6 years is DOHC VTEC Honda's !!

Nothing wrong with a good 4-pot......

However the point your actually making is humerous to say the least

 

[Famine]

My other car is a VTEC.

 

[barryl85]

My other car is a VTEC.

DOHC?

May sound silly but the SOHC & DOHC's do sound different !

 

[Famine]

Very much DOHC.

​

Click for huge.

 

[barryl85]

Nice ! Very nice infact Famine ! ATR's are nice - they also have the comfiest Recaro seats i've sat in, and to say that picture is Huge is an understatement ha ha

If i had to say what it kind of sounds like a little B16a engine but only similar its not identical in any way and its prob just the audio of the video. Nothing like your big H22a7 !

 

[Radracing]

That sounded like a V8. But here is a sound of a suped up VTEC in the "autobahn"

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1242330717497

Sounds more like a street bike.

 

[nobuffalo]

If it's the f430, do you think the wipers have been replaced? Hmm.

edit: Actually, after more inspecting, maybe it is a f430.

That's in Korea, btw. You can tell by the fermented rice smell that's visible in the air.

Actually, Ferrari cock-end needs to get his act together and learn the rules of the road.

This is normally what happens when you speed through tunnels and change lanes over solid, unbroken lane lines.

 

[barryl85]

No thats "Normally" what happens when some idiot cant drive

Wow, you must be a bad driver if that normally happens!!!

Seriously though, I've driven in some Asian countries (but not Korea) and there doesn't seem to be any rules on the road regarding lanes, you can pretty much overtake on any side you like, which I found a welcome change.

I noticed that just before he lost control a big beep sounded. I'm guessing that was the car saying "oh 🤬" .
