Will Ferrari ever make a road going car that sounds as incredible as the 355?

no cats, Capristo exhaust. not exactly a Ferrari-made sound.

not bad, mind you.....

 

I feel with the engine sizes increasing, it will be difficult to obtain the wonderful higher pitched sound on smaller V-8s.

 

WOW! That sounded like an F1 car!

 

This sounds even better....F40 LM.

Said above with the bigger motors the beautiful 355 sound cannot be duplicated. The 355 without second thought is the best sounding. Magnifico!!!

 

Very nice.

 

The F355 is to quote Jeremy Clarkson "The greatest car in the world, ever!"

 

Sounded like the devil is under the hood.

Make a mistake and it might kill you..drive it perfectly and it still might kill you.

 

Always did like the sound of the 355.

 

+1000

It's an incredible and unmistakeable sound.

A wonderful engine note and I dont think we will have another Ferrari sound like the 355!

 

at the 50 second mark .... SICK !!!

it will never happen! EVER!!! first there was the GTO (in my opinion) then the 355... now its all downhill...

In my opinion the 430 doesn't sound good at all!

 

As great of a sound sound as the F355 makes and it is great. I would rather hear a 60's Ferrari V12 with Weber's. Apples and oranges comparision I know, but I like that sound a lot more.

 

They already did... take your pick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsXTS0hDxjE

 

Sweet sound!

 

Everything in life is up to personal interpetation, except math.....2+2=4.....no matter where you are in the world. That being said.....In my humble opinion, nothing can compare to a "boxer 12" at "High" RPMS......I have a 1991 Testarossa with a custom exhaust I fabricated myself....."I" "Challenge" "Anyone" to having a better sounding Ferrari than "MINE"!!!.....SCREW "TUBI"!!!!!!!!.....Mark.

 

to answer your original question of "Will Ferrari ever make a road going car that sounds as incredible as the 355 again?", my answer is "YES - the 348"

kidding of course...the 355 is one incredible unit

 

I don't know, but this has to be up there.

F50 GT starts at around 0:40. Makes that 355 sound tame

The CS sounds fantastic too...right from the factory.

However, IMVHO, a V8 will never sound as good as a V12.

 

360 CS is fantastic also!!

But the old V12s like the GTO and 250s...just wow. I wish modern V12s would sound like that.

 

oh my GOD. that video

 

I've never heard an F50 in person under load, but all the video I've ever seen of it and audio I've ever heard of it suggests that it is the best sounding Ferrari of all time. This makes sense, since many claim the F355 to be one of the best sounding cars of all time due to the 5-valve per cylinder high revving (8500 rpm redline) makeup. The F50 is one of the only three 5-valve per cylinder F-cars (the other being the 360 Modena). Add to the F355's 40 valve sonnet, another 20 valves (60 valve total) and you likely have the best sounding car of all time under load. I am always amazed by the sound of my F355 with straight-pipes and Larini exhaust, but I can only imagine how an F50 would sound in person.
