There\u2019s certainly a lot to choose from: the shouty V8 of an AMG, the flat-six wail of a Mezger-engined 911 GT3, the melodic V12 song of an Aston or the V10 howl of a Lamborghini. However, despite all this, there is only really one manufacturer that has consistently had good-sounding cars in its lineup. There is rarely a bad-sounding Ferrari. For sure, there is always an exception to the rule &#8211; the standard Ferrari 456 was hardly the most aggressive sounding supercar there\u2019s ever been and the 400 wasn\u2019t really a screamer. But overall, the Italian brand has produced some pretty exceptional exhaust noises, thanks to the wealth of V8\u2019s and V12\u2019s on offer. So here are Scuderia Car Parts\u2019 Top 5 best sounding Ferrari\u2019s of all time:<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitle\">1. Ferrari F12<\/h3>\n<p>The F12 arguably has the best exhaust tone out of all modern Ferrari\u2019s &#8211; there are few V12\u2019s that sound as good as the one in the F12 (particularly with a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/aftermarket\/novitec-rosso-power-optimised-exhaust-with-flap-regulation-ferrari-f12_1933\">Novitec Exhaust<\/a><\/span>). Whilst the rest of the supercar scene goes turbocharged, the naturally aspirated Ferrari F12 sound is remarkably F1-like, screaming with a high-pitched wail.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ferrari F12 fitted with full Novitec Race Exhaust!\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RZNSqaZ4E7o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitle\">2. Ferrari F50<\/h3>\n<p>No wonder that the F50 is a good-sounding car, as it\u2019s 4.7L V12 was developed from the 1990 Ferrari 641 Formula One car. The engine has a unique V12 bellow compared to the other Ferrari\u2019s on this list and combined with this Seca exhaust, the F50 shouts its way up to its 8500rpm redline.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FERRARI F50 fitted with SECA sports exhaust!\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SI8auCUiQZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitle\">3. Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale<\/h3>\n<p>The race-inspired version of the Ferrari 360 has one of the best stock Ferrari exhaust systems with a less restrictive design that, when combined with the flat-plane-crank V8, creates a unique V8 symphony. The pitch and tone is unmistakably Ferrari. Here is a clip of a standard Ferrari 360 exhaust, which is not bad either!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Our Capristo Twinsound exhaust transforming this 360 into a Challenge Stradale soundtrack \ud83d\udd0a\ud83d\udca5\ud83d\udc4c\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0Sw4EX8bovA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitle\">4. Ferrari 250<\/h3>\n<p>The early Ferrari \u201cColombo\u201d V12 engine used in the Ferrari 250 is a masterpiece: in 3.0L, 58.8 mm stroke configuration, the engine was almost half the weight of the straight-6 used in the Jaguar XK. With this came a raw, richly textured sound that feels mechanical in every way, from an uneven idling sound to the whirring of the fuel pump.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1_Ferrari-250-GT-Berlinetta-SWB1-e1508405426237.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1953 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1_Ferrari-250-GT-Berlinetta-SWB1-e1508405426237-1024x620.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrari 250 Masterpiece\" width=\"1024\" height=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1_Ferrari-250-GT-Berlinetta-SWB1-e1508405426237-1024x620.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1_Ferrari-250-GT-Berlinetta-SWB1-e1508405426237-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/1_Ferrari-250-GT-Berlinetta-SWB1-e1508405426237.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3blogtitle\">5. Ferrari F2002<\/h3>\n<p>Ok, so this is slightly cheating, it isn\u2019t exactly a road car. But surely Schumacher\u2019s 2002 Formula 1 car has got to hold the title for the best sounding car of all time? The unmistakeable V10 scream is unlike anything else and it is so loud it feels like it will burst your eardrums!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2_Ferrari-F1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2_Ferrari-F1-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"Ferrari F1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2_Ferrari-F1-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2_Ferrari-F1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/2_Ferrari-F1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In fifty years time, we might be driving around in silent electric cars, with no V8\u2019s to get our pulses racing. But for now, at least we can enjoy what is arguably the most vital part to transforming a driving experience &#8211; the sound. It is important in any car, but none more so than in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scuderiacarparts.com\/carparts\/marque\/ferrari\/ferrari-parts.html\">genuine Ferrari<\/a> &#8211; it is part of the Ferrari experience. In fact, Ferrari believe it is so important to their customers, that they have made their own sound library on their website full of sound clips from all the modern Ferrari\u2019s! The Italian brand is one of the only manufacturers to do this. There are so many good-sounding Ferrari\u2019s to choose from, but the cars in this top 5 are our favourites.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It would be easy to argue for hours and hours as to which manufacturer makes the best sounding cars.
