I don't particularly like flat pane V8s, because they sound like two inline fours, don't like cracklin' & poppin' V8s (AMGs & Jags) because they remind me of an old man coughing up phlegm. Smooth thunderous burble? Yes. Smooth silent V12s? Yes. Screaming V12s? Oh deffo. Unorthodox fours? Anything but not inline. I4s sound good only above 10.000RPM. But on the other side, the utter silence of the first 1UZ-FE V8 was also fascinating.
I love this video. I guess it was with this video that I learnt why a 3 liter engine didn't burn 3 liters of fuel per revolution (I was pretty clueless back then). But still, it almost looks like there's more fuel than air being injected there.
