matra v12 sound

[indigoblue555]

V12 Matra sounded as pure music.

[klepetar]

ooohhhuuuuuuhhhhhh!!..the french language wil kill you.. be careful.. make sure you put a warning in the description...

you must be an anglo from canada.. 

[Bmants]

I can remember the sound of a Matra F1 at Mosport, it was not the fastest, but the most musical.

[mr01FABIO]

It's music !!!!

[Ferrariman601]

Spanish knowledge comes in handy here

I can understand the better part of it.

Certainly helps a bit.

[Tronk61]

Just beautiful engine sounds, a pleasure to watch and listen. Thank you for posting.

[Assaroub]

At 4:06 (translation) "I think Leonardo Da Vinci would have liked to see that, he knew François 1er, The Mona Lisa, but he has not experienced this"

[eric92nsr]

tout simplement de la belle melodie v12 made in France....

[Bartbrn]

What track is this -- Clermont-Ferrand (Charade)?

Too much tinkly-dingleberry French techno, not quite enough Matra V-12. Nice, nonetheless...

[Kafel1987]

O kurwa, niezła zabawka :O

[kirkconway]

all the Matra V-12's had a war cry to them.

really something.

[alexjimenez73]

vive la france!!

[YassineSaidi]

I'm french and have learnt english, so I can translate Hervé's speech if you want.

[GTtuner56]

I'm lucky to speak french loll, but the dude has a funny european accent.

[fanofdiesel]

Go to 2:43 to get to the reason you came on this video.

This is the official sound of humankind

[aaron555555555555555]

Wow the sound gave me goose bumps. I was grinning like the french guy at the end of the video haha

[Marillionado]

Fast, great sounding cars are just the thing to make a grown man go back to be a kid once more. Fantastic.

[topha007]

sounds like my hover

[droceretik]

@topha007 What's a hover?

[MxPfox]

cuando tira los rebajes llego al orgasmo ajjaaj alucinante.

[udubrx7]

Don't forget.... it's a diesel....

[HeartFilledHatred]

@udubrx7 ?!?

[rudfil]

fantastic noise

[Jamirofan89]

what does the guy say at the end?

[AlfieBucks]

Standing at Mulsanne Corner, in the dark, listening for this sound to emerge. Through the trees. It grows and grows until the lights comes into view. Hard on the brakes and down through the box, but just as quickly hard on to the accelerator again out of the corner down to Indianapolis -

Oh happy days! Nurse! Nurse!!

(Now go and find Mazda 787)

[kirkconway]

THE ARMAGGEDON...ARRIVES

[flashmaisters]

hAHHAHA

you didn't get it at all

I was joking about this microphone... not that the sound is good because of it or not hAHAHAHHAHAA

it just seem to be a really old fashioned microphone hAHAHAHA

[Stealthsoldier20]

The old man came at "4:06" lol

[flashmaisters]

what a microphone HAHAHAHAHHAHAhA

maybe the car sound is good because of that huge freaking microphone the guy was using hAHAHAHhA

[fatbaldblokebb]

@flashmaisters The sound is good because this is one of the greatest sounding engines ever made. Unless you've stood next toa race track and heard one in anger, you just can't appreciate it.

[3L3CTR0static]

well I think we have to make big differences between french roadcars and racecars...French road cars are complete rubbish but french race cars are mindblowing!

[ngendro]

amazing sound!

[BillyNooo]

Add me as another person with goosebumps. Now, if I can only find the F1 matra video!

[cakraft24]

the Matra never sounded "good" in person and you would constantly check you ears for signs of blood.

[TORIO619]

If i was a robot id want that engine for a heart....what a sound...makes the hair on my arms stand...reminds me of the old days...thanks for the vid..

[sardosfish]

[CarlosTadeus]

[1ADY]

Now that sounds like a race car should . Music to my ears .

[VolvoClassicsNL]

Goosebumps! What a lovely sound!

[krislyttle]

No offense to the French, but I had to skip the French shit to get to the point of the whole video....that sweet V-12!

[ZedarKiller]

"And the sound of the Matra was...just...spectacular....It sounds like power!"

[Texasfreebird1982]

[sanderhorstman]

Personaly i don't like french cars but the sound of a matra V12 sounds so beautiful it takes your breath away!!

Thanks for the post! A bit shame of the french talk without subs! 5*

[Kussler88]
