Porsche Carrera GT

A race engine that never got its race. The Carrera GT's 5.7-liter V10 grew out of Porsche's LMP 2000 Le Mans prototype, which was shelved before it ever competed, and it still behaves like one: peak power arrives at 8,000 rpm, and the sound hardens into a hard-edged wail as it gets there, with very little bass to soften it. Pick this one if you prefer a raw, mechanical note over a polished one. Porsche built 1,270 between 2003 and 2006, so recordings far outnumber the cars.
