The first time I went to the Le Mans 24 the first 3 cars that came past me were this, the Morgan and the Corvette. Them 3 together sound absolutely beautiful!! And then a LMP2 went past and sounded like an angry wasp 😅
Surely one of the most gorgeous race cars ever...and what a sound! Loved listening to these beasts roaring through the Porsche Curves at Le Mans in 2005
E46325mod Lmp1 hybrids don't have sound but as Dr Ulbricht said "sound is wasted energy". I'd have a quiet car that blows my mind on its physics defying grip and speed than a loud car that is unreliable. GTE and GT3 still provides great sound, as does LMP2. So no, not every car sounds bad. And since when was Motorsport all about the sound anyway? Its about going fast, not going loud.
AOR Minx You see, not everyone thinks like you. I'd rather not sit and watch a completely silent (or electric, theoretically the most efficient) car go around a track with 2x group c levels of downforce. The sound of a car is a MASSIVE amount of its entertainment value, and seeing/hearing a car like the dbr9 go around a track is so much better than watching the turbo vacuum shits of today (not including old turbos, mind you). We dont get to actually drive the cars, so I dont really give a shit about the downforce levels. Racing is a spectator sport, and I'm not very excited by silent spaceships, thank you very much. Just LOOK at the amount of people in the comments talking about the sound for fucks sake...
jonny j race circuits pay for racing events to come to there tracks and they make money from ticket sales etc. For etc who’s going to watch quite cars at the spar 24 hours when all your see is just the car and won’t here them
Just imagine the amount of downforce this car has. I have never seen a single car on top gear power lap that is able to flat out on follow through and still manage to turn right into the center of the track instead of the edge..
This is one of those cars where the sound is so good that you can feel yourself tightening your core when it's at the right angle when it's flat out point in case 1:24
Aston know how to make engines sound unearthly...this, the 90s Vantage V600 and the honestly brutal sounding AMR1 Group C racer which genuinely cannot be beaten noise wise...
This thing is just god in a vehicular disguise.... the noise, the looks!! You'd need something north of a Zonda R or and LMP-1 to out sprint this thing around a track
@xtoderzx The DBR9 is Aston Martins works car, so that has all the money spent developing it for the series it races in. Only Aston Martin own them cars (there's only a handful of DBR9s in the world). The DBRS9 is the 'tuned-down' version of the DBR9 which you CAN buy from Aston. They won't let you buy a full DBR9 incase you out race them one day... it'd be a bit embarrassing for them :)
Probably one of the best cars i ve ever seen in Top Gear since i ve been watching it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 (by the way,i ve been watching Top Gear since i was 12,so...)
its a sequenchal (maybe not spelt right) gearbox meaning you either pull it back to change up or push it forward to change gear, its faster then a normal pattern gearbox, now they normally use paddleshift now which works even faster
This car actually just 15 has ever produced, ferrari fxx just 30, mclaren mercedes slr 722 gt version just 22. I can't wait 3 of this genius work are racing together in the race track
That’s (and equivalent gt3’s)what I would choose as the reference car for lap times to compare in a street legal. Whatever car can approach that is seriously quick. Imagine that it takes something like a Pagani Zonda R to go near that time. Other quick and cheap cars that can do it are kit cars under 500kg/200hp+ (like Radical) but these are not street legal and the street legal version are heavier and although more powerful they are slower, except maybe the radical rxc.
THESE CARS WERE COMMENTATED/TESTED BY THE OLD TOP GEAR BLOKES [Renault F1 car - 0:59] [Lotus T125 - 1:03.8] [Zonda R - 1:08.5] [Aston martin DBR9 GT1 - 1:08.6] [Caparo T1 - 1:10.6] [Ferrari FXX EVO - 1:10.7] [Lamborghini Sesto Elemento - 1:14.0] [Radical SR3 - 1:19.1]
Correct, that time that porsche was a monster, one said that car killed the Can-Am. And let me add one thing on your quote: you can´t drive a bugatti for a hour and half , not because of the suspension, or brakes or drivetrain, because these parts are meant to be durable , to handle the power of the W16 engine The reason is, you can´t drive for about 1 h or even 30min, that´s because the fuel runs out after 12 and half Minutes. So that´s one thing that you miss there
Well, they did. As mentioned at the end of the video, they make a similar, street-legal car called the DBRS9, and it's available for purchase at the low, low price of [[EXPENSIVE!!]].
this car will go down as one of the best sounding racecars ever made.
yeah man, this and the Murcielago GT1 are just the absolute pinnacle
the lmp one aston was on anther level
The first time I went to the Le Mans 24 the first 3 cars that came past me were this, the Morgan and the Corvette. Them 3 together sound absolutely beautiful!! And then a LMP2 went past and sounded like an angry wasp 😅
Mazda 787B has to be in with a shout...
It will definitely go down as one of the best sounding race cars of all time ❤
It's a shame the DBRS9 doesn't have more recognition. I think it would be a fantastic addition in racing games, especially.
prostreet has it
@@cloudedpoints pgr4 aswell
Gran Turismo 7 has it too 😉
its in Iracing
Shift 2
The most beautiful sounding car they've tested, (in my opinion).
nope. zonda f coupe sounds much better
I do agree.
The Zonda R and the FXX were also amazing
The Renault F1 still better... Love that V10
@@111risto yeah you're right about that
carrera gt, anyone?
I remember watching this episode and till this day the sound of that car at 1:27 is just a thing of beauty, actually sounds like a full on jet.
Agreed. Brings a tear to my eye and a chill up my spine.
Same! I've seen that moment atleast 100 times on here!
I remember first watching this clip when I was 8 years old. That sound at 1:27... still gives me goosebumps to this day 🤤
the most insane part is it only revs to 7k rpms, and the sound from the inside is amazing as well
@@houseking9211 Yeah! I Freaking Love The Sound! It Sounds Like An F1 Car!
@@houseking9211 imagine it at 10,000rpm….
@Concon255 1:37 pure superb
same
Surely one of the most gorgeous race cars ever...and what a sound! Loved listening to these beasts roaring through the Porsche Curves at Le Mans in 2005
What I'd give to actually race in one of those.
imagine driving through a tunnel and hearing car pass by
Is that you on ur pfp. The guy the arrow is pointing at?
@@battyman42069 the arrow points to a guy who was getting a blowjob during that game
In terms of V12 car sounds, Aston Martin has some of the best sounding ones, the Vulcan, Valkyrie, and this, astonishing lineup
1:27
That sounds so awesome!
This is one of the best sounding cars ever made, RIP the car industry now everything sounds like a fart and a vacumm

jonny j th-cam.com/video/c6KM7Wo9-3I/w-d-xo.html can you watch these cars but with no noise at Le Mans listen 1:10 judd power !!!!!
Holy heck, that's the most controllable car I've seen on this track. It went so fast and so smooth
Of course, I haven't watched most of episodes yet.

1:27 is such a piercing noise, it's just fantastic
Song is called Window Licker by Aphex Twin. Engine raw on this whole clip is awesome though!
The sound of that thing gives me chills every single time.
OMFG!!!! Sends chills down my spine and it's such an orgasmic sound! Love it
1:05 can picture Ben's face through the helmet with a grin from ear to ear
One of the best engine sounds I've ver heard love this car :)
I need this in my driveway soon. By soon, I mean right now.
I've seen this video at least 20 times just because i love that exhaust note!
Never have I ever not regret putting my volume to max while using headphones...
Aston know how to make engines sound unearthly...this, the 90s Vantage V600 and the honestly brutal sounding AMR1 Group C racer which genuinely cannot be beaten noise wise...
Im a corvette c6r fan forever but you gotta respect the sound of a dbr9.
Probably the best sounding car ever to lap the Top Gear test track.
God that engine note is exotic. You put your foot down and all that comes out the exhaust is *violence*
cool, they've added aphex twin at 0:32
I second that. When I found out GT1 folded and I wouldn't get to see this beauty race anymore, I was absolutely crushed.
This thing is just god in a vehicular disguise.... the noise, the looks!! You'd need something north of a Zonda R or and LMP-1 to out sprint this thing around a track

That thing sounds fecking epic and love the brm green with fluro orange paint what a machiiiiiiiine!
Gotta be one of the best things I ever heard.
1:27 i just LOVE the gear shifting !!!
That majestic sound
ITS THE BEST LOOKING RACE CAR XD
Probably one of the best cars i ve ever seen in Top Gear since i ve been watching it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 (by the way,i ve been watching Top Gear since i was 12,so...)
alessio giroso- That depends.. you may of only been 13 when writing this comment so in that case, that isn't long ;)
Hammonds face in the end LOL

It's on Top Gear test track. What about on a track that has more straight road like Monza or Le Mans? Don't forget that Zonda R has 750 hp.
0:54-0:57-0:59 Gorgeous looking car and a gorgeously brutal engine!

Sounds like a TIE fighter at 1:30
That sound was epic!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Imagine if Top Gear had a racing car lap time board at the time.
I love the sound at 1:27
Fajar Astanaprima and the DBRS9 sounds even better th-cam.com/video/8hQXpav5l8w/w-d-xo.html
One of the best series EVER!!!!!!
Why didn't they make another leaderboard for all the cars which are running on slicks like the Zonda R, FXX etc
It's a full fledged factory race car
Ricardo Yearwood and the zonda ain’t a road car or neither can it compete in any race as it hasn’t followed no regulations

I remember falling in love with this car as a youn kid and watching this back again I still feel the same
oh my god, I just fell in love...and that noise..I want that as ringtone
Absolutely gorgeous race car!
1:28 those shifts sound incredible!
Stunning sound 1:27 😍
Total eargasm from aston
That is an absolutely fantastic sound.
Great sound for sure - suggestion - check out the sound of the Hakasuka GTR
One of the best looking and best sounding cars made ever.
EVER!
This will forever be one of my favorite cars in all of FM games
I miss this show. Never a better car show. Ever.
From the greatest GT era, GT1! That noise is something else.
Astons are fucking beautiful and a British heart
Love the sound of a racecar at full-throttle headed straight for my face. Reminds me of the shrieking scariness of atypical music.
GLORIOUS MUSIC FROM THE CAR! ^^ thanks for uploading
I know it's been a few years, but this is still amazing :)
Agreed
Thanks for that contribution Hamster
What a sound that car makes.Best what i've heard.
the sound it's just AMAZING at the START
Doesn't matter how fast electric cars can get, the noise you get from internal combustion is just ❤.
When Schumacher was the THE STIG you could definitely tell. No one was ever even close as far as driving style.
the sound at 1.27 so good
THE SOUND IS BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1 minute 8 seconds!, thats 2 seconds faster than a Ferrari FXX and a Caparo T1, simply amazing.
2.3 seconds faster than the FXX.....wow! Just.... wow! Best sounding and best looking. What a car
And one tenth slower than the Zonda R
If I could have a 3 car dream garage, this would, without doubt, be the first car to go in.
Gorgeous V12 Aston Martin sound 😮😍
King V12 N/A,we really need more race cars like this one!
That’s a magnificent car to race with
Definitely my favorite car…😍 what a beauty sound😚
the v12 motor in the aston martin is based on two 3l ford v6 duratec engines mated together
LOVE the sound!
If the tires aren’t crying, you’re not driving hard enough.
Beautiful
Finally someone who wrote an excelent opinion.
I agree with in every spec.
I salute you.
Zonda R was 0.1 second faster, so basically it is the same.
Winning is winning!
Yeah, but the Zonda has 100 more horsepower.
He hit the rev limiter at 1:38 - that's the missing .1s ;-)
projectilequestion zonda can’t race like this can Aston Martin had to build to rules as the zonda was built with no rules
@@kierenboimufc5940 this dbr9 would breach the sound limits on some of the race circuits now. Sad times :(
sequential shifting, saves time and is WAY more efficient... Study before you spray
The noise this thing makes is incredible.....wish aston would bring out an updated version of this car for GT1
Best sounding car ever. I am a huge Ferrari fan and love the sound of them but this beats it IMHO
Correct, that time that porsche was a monster, one said that car killed the Can-Am.

Oh boy, my absolute favorite GT1 car...
0:00 is that Lil Pump in the back before he got tatted up?
It looks just like him lol
Do you mean the left one??
Best eargasm i had in years
DBRS9,AN AMAZING PIECE OF KIT.
superb grip .... it actually eats the corners ...
sounds a thing of beauty
Well, they did. As mentioned at the end of the video, they make a similar, street-legal car called the DBRS9, and it's available for purchase at the low, low price of [[EXPENSIVE!!]].
That V12 soundtrack is PHENOMENAL
1:26 .. nice sound
Oh my god that is one of the best sounding cars ever.
Man I miss this top gear
Wish we could get a video of this without Clarkson speaking over the top. Absolutely glorious
agreed
arguably the best sounding car ever
Aston Martins have some of the best sounding exhaust
