I've seen this video a thousand times and the Ferrari, Tyrrell and Alfa still give me goosebumps. What a glorious fucking time it was when these cars roamed the earth.
Would give ten years of my life if I could see and hear(!)this great cars.Seeing the Ferrari 312, the 6-Wheel Tyrell and especially the Alfa Romeo V12 makes me feel happy.Great video!Since 1995,the formula 1 cars look so boring.Goodwood keeps racing alive.Greatings from germany.
I think people overrate the uniqueness of a V12's exhaust not. I reality, it has a identical firing order to a straight six (just doubled), which has a very similar firing order to a four cylinder.
I see what you mean, but for reasons I don't understand, all even firing engines don't sound the same. An inline doesn't sound the same as a single cylinder firing at 4 times the speed and a v12 doesn't sound like and inline 4 spinning 3 times as fast. ?
Actually, looking at this a week later, this is probably a stupid comment. It's obvious that more of the same makes a different sound. A better analogy might be a violin vs. an orchestra or singer vs. and choir. So in that respect the v12 is unique.
A v12 sounds completely different to a 6 since it has to fire twice as many cylenders per rev. Crank geometry has a greater effect on the exhaust note; at least more than firing order. Thats why an F430 V8 sounds completely different to an LS7...
I was at Goodwood a few years ago and stood next to the Alfa V12 in the pits whilst revving. AWESOME! It sounds soooo good. Better than the current V8 F1 cars fo sho!
shit!! Alfa engine give me goosebumps in the end.

That Renault V6 Turbo is only 1500cc! In race mode they'd get around 600-700hp out of it and during qualifying they would tune it up to 900hp.

Seems to me that a v12 has smaller pistons than other engines of the same displacement. That would account for the distinctive sound.

The v8 from the f1 today is just a buzzin noise, i hate it. I really love the v12, but a v10 is quicker and also sounds really good.
V10 back please ^^

Kinda sound like the current Indy Car engines of today.
afannell 2 years ago
not really. the indy cars only do around 10,000 rpm max and don't sound nearly as good as a f1 car.

These engines are only doing ~11000rpm so they're not too different.

Cossie DFV is the best!
But still all of those were better than present F1 cars, because of sexier sounds.

Lovely yes....but how can you rate the sound of a Cosworth V8 above a flat 12 Ferrari or a V12 Alfa???!!!!
Robbbo64 4 years ago
I agree they all have a unique sound. For me it is dfv first, then the Alfa, then the Renault and the Ferrari.

Thanks for the comment Schumisebas. I wish i could speak Spanish but it's seems like you liked the Tyrrell. It's a great sounding car!
