Anyone who has heard all these cars and then more on a racetrack, especially at the Hunaudières straight in the 24h of Le Mans will assure you the best ever sounding engine was the Matra V12:

Even the contemporary Ferrari 312 and 512, which were also sounding glorious, couldn't quite match it.

Obviously a video will never provide an accurate representation and the current remaining examples have a much lower rev limit than at the time to preserve the engines.

Sound like a higher-pitched TIE fighter.
