Quite possibly the best looking/sounding race car in a while.

i do really like how deep the exhaust sounds, like a real muscle car with a higher rev rate/ not as "rumbly" but it is not the best looking because of that grill, and it will never ever sound better than this. the speed at which this engine jumps from low to high rev (high being over 12000 rpm) is unparalleled. it screams like a fucking evil demon hamster baby from hell

i love the 787 but dont really think it is the best sounding race car in the world. Typically, rotary engines sound like shit but the 787 is an exception. I dont like the stutter in the idle and reving of it.

The reason the bentley sounds so amazing is 2 things for me, it does not remotely sound like a road going variant of the car so it is a complete shock when you hear it roar and how they have turned a 5500 lb luxury yatch into a nimble 2000 pound touring car.

The 787 was amazing for its time without a doubt but modern sports cars and prototype racers have upped the ante by quite a large margain... look at the ts040 which is mind bogglingly fast compared to the 787.... the ts pushing around 1000 hp total when its KERS is running.

It will never beat the sheer volume of the Lamborghini Murcialago R-GT.

For comparison the first car is a Formula BMW car:

The murc is not really that unique, it sounds like every other lambo sports car racer before it. The reason why the Bentley GT3 is so shocking is because never in a million years would you expect a bentley to sound like it is burning coal.

The gt3 bentley has its own sound signature you can tell is coming from a mile away where as the lambo sounds exactly like a Ferrari sports car racer. If you actively watch sports car racing you would feel how unique and amazing the Bentley exhaust note is, there is nothing on the track with a similar exhaust note... maybe an SLS but that is about it.

Hahah. I know the video I posted is fake, however pretty funny.
For real, what were they thinking when they went down to V6? They should bring back the good old v10s..

If you don't think the R-GT has it's own "sound signature" then either your ears are malfunctioning or you are just being asinine. Also don't project the experience in which you perceive things on other people.
