There are very few things in life as fine as a high-revving V8 on a dyno. Monet’s Waterlilies, a perfectly performed rendition of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, the body of a beautiful woman. But since this isn’t a site dedicated to such things, we’ll make do with the sounds of a well-balanced V8 being put through the gears. The link below takes you to a web site with two sound files, one of the new BMW 4.0L V8 destined for the 2008 M3, and another of that engine in the actual car, being driven around the Nordschleife at the Nurburgring at top speed. Sadly, the second file is just the audio, so unless you have an exceptionally good imagination or have wasted far too much time driving around the Nordschleife in Project Gotham Racing 3, I’d stick with the the dyno file, which has all the payoff with none of the annoying foreplay.
