I adore high-revving 4-bangers, it's partly why I love the Honda S2000.

But if there's two car's that exemplifie this best, its the Peugeot 306 Maxi Kit Car and Citroen Xsara Maxi Kit car. Picked the two, as they both use the same PSA made XU10J4RS unit, and it's such a screamer (plus both are virtually identical anyway).

At the peak of F2 kit car regs. the engine in both cars were reported to rev to a smidge over 11krpm at their best .

That turbo noise though...

They really do sound fantastic. Such a raw, pure engine with a very large variety of notes.

Anyone know what exhaust this lambo has?

My God(zilla)... No wonder the R32's won EVERY Group A race in Japan, and two straight Bathurst 1000 victories in '91 and '92.

If this was posted already, sorry.

All you can hear is the turbo. mmmmmm

4-Rotor. If you probe for information on this car you'll find the attention to detail that's gone into this build to be amazing. It's a true labour of love and probably one of the nicest cars I've ever seen someone build.

I had not seen this clip in ages, but man does it sound like an old school Super Touring car from the early 90s. And look at that footwork!

Straight piped. Owner is going for a TT route here soon, I believe.

Thread revival!

Half shameless plug, half relevant to the topic:

The sounds this thing makes are just glorious.

Bump. Watched this and instantly thought of this thread. I had no idea the Jag V12s would sound so good with a well-tuned exhaust. Close your eyes and you'll swear it's a Zonda!

So nasty--surely that's not a Rover engine?

No, it's the AJP8, more commonly know as the Speed 8. A flat plane, 75 degree, SOHC 16 valve V8.

What do you get if you cross a 12A with WRC?

This is one mean sounding Boxster:



Also, the build is pretty wild. Moves pretty good for a 2.7, though I don't think it's making as much power as claimed. Probably more like 300-320hp at the wheels.
