On one of our recent TopSpeed Podcast->ke4828 episodes, we were asked what cars we thought made the best noises. My choice was the naturally aspirated 6.2-liter, AMG V-8 found in cars like the C63 Black and the SLS. No matter what machine AMG crams this engine into it always sounds the same. It has this deep and snappy gargle that sounds more like a machine gun than a V8. If Ferrari->ke252 engines sound like an opera singer, the Mercedes->ke187 AMG V8 sounds like repeatedly hitting that singer in the face with a big hammer.

If you don’t believe me, hit play on that video up above. This is a three-minute collection of SLS AMG GT3 race cars tearing around a track. There is no music, no talking, just pure V-8 noise. It is like my dreams have come to life. From pit row revving to high speed flybys this video has everything you would want.

If you think there are better sounding cars on sale today, you have every right to your (wrong) opinion, but for my tastes the angry burble of the mighty AMG 6.2 is nearly perfect.
