There are certain cars that make your day even before the driving part begins. All you need to to is feed that engine with some gas and the emotions will start rolling. We are here to bring you a mix of 33 mind-blowing engine startup sounds, which comes in the form of the adjacent clip.
Spreading over more than five decades of motoring, this symphony is one of the best ways to spend three minutes and thirty seconds. It is also a rich bouquet of soundtracks, as it goes from four-bangers all the way to twelve-cylinder mills.

We’ve got rather quiet performers, such as the 1969 Jaguar E-Type, with its refined inline-six and we also have rides that find themselves at the other end of the audio violence scale. Listen to the Saleen S7 twin turbo waking up, or to the superb natural aspiration of the Lamborghini Aventador and you will understand.

From retro American muscle to modern-day hypercars, all the pieces of metal here are ready to entertain you. We admit, the F40 brought Goosebumps. Of course, there are great names missing and the original Shelby GT500 is an example as good as any.

By the way, here is the full list of performers:
  • 2005 Ford GT
  • 2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4
  • 1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mark III
