The first time I went to the Le Mans 24 the first 3 cars that came past me were this, the Morgan and the Corvette. Them 3 together sound absolutely beautiful!! And then a LMP2 went past and sounded like an angry wasp 😅
Surely one of the most gorgeous race cars ever...and what a sound! Loved listening to these beasts roaring through the Porsche Curves at Le Mans in 2005
Just imagine the amount of downforce this car has. I have never seen a single car on top gear power lap that is able to flat out on follow through and still manage to turn right into the center of the track instead of the edge..
E46325mod Lmp1 hybrids don't have sound but as Dr Ulbricht said "sound is wasted energy". I'd have a quiet car that blows my mind on its physics defying grip and speed than a loud car that is unreliable. GTE and GT3 still provides great sound, as does LMP2. So no, not every car sounds bad. And since when was Motorsport all about the sound anyway? Its about going fast, not going loud.
AOR Minx You see, not everyone thinks like you. I'd rather not sit and watch a completely silent (or electric, theoretically the most efficient) car go around a track with 2x group c levels of downforce. The sound of a car is a MASSIVE amount of its entertainment value, and seeing/hearing a car like the dbr9 go around a track is so much better than watching the turbo vacuum shits of today (not including old turbos, mind you). We dont get to actually drive the cars, so I dont really give a shit about the downforce levels. Racing is a spectator sport, and I'm not very excited by silent spaceships, thank you very much. Just LOOK at the amount of people in the comments talking about the sound for fucks sake...
jonny j race circuits pay for racing events to come to there tracks and they make money from ticket sales etc. For etc who’s going to watch quite cars at the spar 24 hours when all your see is just the car and won’t here them
This is one of those cars where the sound is so good that you can feel yourself tightening your core when it's at the right angle when it's flat out point in case 1:24
Aston know how to make engines sound unearthly...this, the 90s Vantage V600 and the honestly brutal sounding AMR1 Group C racer which genuinely cannot be beaten noise wise...
THESE CARS WERE COMMENTATED/TESTED BY THE OLD TOP GEAR BLOKES [Renault F1 car - 0:59] [Lotus T125 - 1:03.8] [Zonda R - 1:08.5] [Aston martin DBR9 GT1 - 1:08.6] [Caparo T1 - 1:10.6] [Ferrari FXX EVO - 1:10.7] [Lamborghini Sesto Elemento - 1:14.0] [Radical SR3 - 1:19.1]
Probably one of the best cars i ve ever seen in Top Gear since i ve been watching it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 (by the way,i ve been watching Top Gear since i was 12,so...)
This thing is just god in a vehicular disguise.... the noise, the looks!! You'd need something north of a Zonda R or and LMP-1 to out sprint this thing around a track
That’s (and equivalent gt3’s)what I would choose as the reference car for lap times to compare in a street legal. Whatever car can approach that is seriously quick. Imagine that it takes something like a Pagani Zonda R to go near that time. Other quick and cheap cars that can do it are kit cars under 500kg/200hp+ (like Radical) but these are not street legal and the street legal version are heavier and although more powerful they are slower, except maybe the radical rxc.
its a sequenchal (maybe not spelt right) gearbox meaning you either pull it back to change up or push it forward to change gear, its faster then a normal pattern gearbox, now they normally use paddleshift now which works even faster
@xtoderzx The DBR9 is Aston Martins works car, so that has all the money spent developing it for the series it races in. Only Aston Martin own them cars (there's only a handful of DBR9s in the world). The DBRS9 is the 'tuned-down' version of the DBR9 which you CAN buy from Aston. They won't let you buy a full DBR9 incase you out race them one day... it'd be a bit embarrassing for them :)
This car actually just 15 has ever produced, ferrari fxx just 30, mclaren mercedes slr 722 gt version just 22. I can't wait 3 of this genius work are racing together in the race track
the zondar wasnt it the same time? i cant quite remembre but eaven though the zonda r isnt either race legal or road legal, correct me if wrong please!
yes but it is about 250kg lighter and hunkered down, not sure on the tyres, were those slicks? And if so, the result is not questioned since these cars also have the short shift range and limited to track speeds of 180-190 and not 230 mph...
this car will go down as one of the best sounding racecars ever made.
yeah man, this and the Murcielago GT1 are just the absolute pinnacle
the lmp one aston was on anther level
The first time I went to the Le Mans 24 the first 3 cars that came past me were this, the Morgan and the Corvette. Them 3 together sound absolutely beautiful!! And then a LMP2 went past and sounded like an angry wasp 😅
Mazda 787B has to be in with a shout...
It will definitely go down as one of the best sounding race cars of all time ❤
It's a shame the DBRS9 doesn't have more recognition. I think it would be a fantastic addition in racing games, especially.
prostreet has it
@@cloudedpoints pgr4 aswell
Gran Turismo 7 has it too 😉
its in Iracing
Shift 2
The most beautiful sounding car they've tested, (in my opinion).
nope. zonda f coupe sounds much better
I do agree.
The Zonda R and the FXX were also amazing
The Renault F1 still better... Love that V10
@@111risto yeah you're right about that
carrera gt, anyone?
imagine driving through a tunnel and hearing car pass by
Is that you on ur pfp. The guy the arrow is pointing at?
@@battyman42069 the arrow points to a guy who was getting a blowjob during that game
I remember watching this episode and till this day the sound of that car at 1:27 is just a thing of beauty, actually sounds like a full on jet.
Agreed. Brings a tear to my eye and a chill up my spine.
Same! I've seen that moment atleast 100 times on here!
Surely one of the most gorgeous race cars ever...and what a sound! Loved listening to these beasts roaring through the Porsche Curves at Le Mans in 2005
What I'd give to actually race in one of those.
1:27
I remember first watching this clip when I was 8 years old. That sound at 1:27... still gives me goosebumps to this day 🤤
the most insane part is it only revs to 7k rpms, and the sound from the inside is amazing as well
@@houseking9211 Yeah! I Freaking Love The Sound! It Sounds Like An F1 Car!
@@houseking9211 imagine it at 10,000rpm….
@Concon255 1:37 pure superb
same
In terms of V12 car sounds, Aston Martin has some of the best sounding ones, the Vulcan, Valkyrie, and this, astonishing lineup
Just imagine the amount of downforce this car has. I have never seen a single car on top gear power lap that is able to flat out on follow through and still manage to turn right into the center of the track instead of the edge..
This is one of the best sounding cars ever made, RIP the car industry now everything sounds like a fart and a vacumm

Welcome Aston Martin 6.5L N/A at Le Mans

jonny j ruclips.net/video/c6KM7Wo9-3I/видео.html can you watch these cars but with no noise at Le Mans listen 1:10 judd power !!!!!
That sounds so awesome!
1:05 can picture Ben's face through the helmet with a grin from ear to ear
Holy heck, that's the most controllable car I've seen on this track. It went so fast and so smooth
Of course, I haven't watched most of episodes yet.
Song is called Window Licker by Aphex Twin. Engine raw on this whole clip is awesome though!
1:27 is such a piercing noise, it's just fantastic
The sound of that thing gives me chills every single time.
OMFG!!!! Sends chills down my spine and it's such an orgasmic sound! Love it
This is one of those cars where the sound is so good that you can feel yourself tightening your core when it's at the right angle when it's flat out
point in case 1:24
I need this in my driveway soon. By soon, I mean right now.
One of the best engine sounds I've ver heard love this car :)
cool, they've added aphex twin at 0:32
ITS THE BEST LOOKING RACE CAR XD
Aston know how to make engines sound unearthly...this, the 90s Vantage V600 and the honestly brutal sounding AMR1 Group C racer which genuinely cannot be beaten noise wise...
I've seen this video at least 20 times just because i love that exhaust note!
Never have I ever not regret putting my volume to max while using headphones...
Sounds like a TIE fighter at 1:30
Hammonds face in the end LOL
Why didn't they make another leaderboard for all the cars which are running on slicks like the Zonda R, FXX etc
It's a full fledged factory race car
Ricardo Yearwood and the zonda ain’t a road car or neither can it compete in any race as it hasn’t followed no regulations
THESE CARS WERE COMMENTATED/TESTED BY THE OLD TOP GEAR BLOKES [Renault F1 car - 0:59] [Lotus T125 - 1:03.8] [Zonda R - 1:08.5] [Aston martin DBR9 GT1 - 1:08.6] [Caparo T1 - 1:10.6] [Ferrari FXX EVO - 1:10.7] [Lamborghini Sesto Elemento - 1:14.0] [Radical SR3 - 1:19.1]
Probably the best sounding car ever to lap the Top Gear test track.
1:27 i just LOVE the gear shifting !!!
I second that. When I found out GT1 folded and I wouldn't get to see this beauty race anymore, I was absolutely crushed.
That majestic sound
Im a corvette c6r fan forever but you gotta respect the sound of a dbr9.
Gotta be one of the best things I ever heard.
I love the sound at 1:27
Fajar Astanaprima and the DBRS9 sounds even better ruclips.net/video/8hQXpav5l8w/видео.html
Zonda R was 0.1 second faster, so basically it is the same.
Winning is winning!
Yeah, but the Zonda has 100 more horsepower.
He hit the rev limiter at 1:38 - that's the missing .1s ;-)
projectilequestion zonda can’t race like this can Aston Martin had to build to rules as the zonda was built with no rules
@@kierenboimufc5940 this dbr9 would breach the sound limits on some of the race circuits now. Sad times :(
0:00 is that Lil Pump in the back before he got tatted up?
It looks just like him lol
Do you mean the left one??
Who needs a stereo in a DBR9?
the engine is the stereo
1:28 those shifts sound incredible!
Probably one of the best cars i ve ever seen in Top Gear since i ve been watching it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 (by the way,i ve been watching Top Gear since i was 12,so...)
alessio giroso- That depends.. you may of only been 13 when writing this comment so in that case, that isn't long ;)
This thing is just god in a vehicular disguise.... the noise, the looks!! You'd need something north of a Zonda R or and LMP-1 to out sprint this thing around a track

God that engine note is exotic. You put your foot down and all that comes out the exhaust is *violence*

0:54-0:57-0:59 Gorgeous looking car and a gorgeously brutal engine!
the sound at 1.27 so good
It's on Top Gear test track. What about on a track that has more straight road like Monza or Le Mans? Don't forget that Zonda R has 750 hp.
Love the sound of a racecar at full-throttle headed straight for my face. Reminds me of the shrieking scariness of atypical music.
Total eargasm from aston
That thing sounds fecking epic and love the brm green with fluro orange paint what a machiiiiiiiine!
Stunning sound 1:27 😍
oh my god, I just fell in love...and that noise..I want that as ringtone
One of the best looking and best sounding cars made ever.
EVER!
This car actually just 15 has ever produced, ferrari fxx just 30, mclaren mercedes slr 722 gt version just 22. I can't wait 3 of this genius work are racing together in the race track
That sound was epic!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Imagine if Top Gear had a racing car lap time board at the time.
I remember falling in love with this car as a youn kid and watching this back again I still feel the same
1:23
That is all.
I miss this show. Never a better car show. Ever.
What a sound that car makes.Best what i've heard.
From the greatest GT era, GT1! That noise is something else.
1:26 .. nice sound
That is an absolutely fantastic sound.
the sound it's just AMAZING at the START
One of the best series EVER!!!!!!
Great sound for sure - suggestion - check out the sound of the Hakasuka GTR
I have 10 Asgardian dollars. 1 Asgardian dollar = 1,000,000 pounds. I can afford one.
Several,actually.
the v12 motor in the aston martin is based on two 3l ford v6 duratec engines mated together
That’s a magnificent car to race with
1 minute 8 seconds!, thats 2 seconds faster than a Ferrari FXX and a Caparo T1, simply amazing.
Song in the begining is by Afix Twins.... WOOT!! yeah.. great driving music.
Best eargasm i had in years
the zondar wasnt it the same time? i cant quite remembre but eaven though the zonda r isnt either race legal or road legal, correct me if wrong please!
THE SOUND IS BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2.3 seconds faster than the FXX.....wow! Just.... wow! Best sounding and best looking. What a car
And one tenth slower than the Zonda R
When Schumacher was the THE STIG you could definitely tell. No one was ever even close as far as driving style.
Shall I be more specific? During its run it was a GT1 Le Mans racer. Happy?
Thanks for that contribution Hamster
@ravi3shekh1 This is a race car, it is designed to go round a track quickly, not win a drag race
sequential shifting, saves time and is WAY more efficient... Study before you spray
Oh boy, my absolute favorite GT1 car...
Wish we could get a video of this without Clarkson speaking over the top. Absolutely glorious
agreed
arguably the best sounding car ever
That V12 soundtrack is PHENOMENAL
If the tires aren’t crying, you’re not driving hard enough.
Beautiful
That sound is incredible, I love GT cars
I know it's been a few years, but this is still amazing :)
Agreed
King V12 N/A,we really need more race cars like this one!
The noise this thing makes is incredible.....wish aston would bring out an updated version of this car for GT1
Definitely my favorite car…😍 what a beauty sound😚
£175,000 for a GT3 car? How much is that in today's money in USD?
Gorgeous V12 Aston Martin sound 😮😍
If I could have a 3 car dream garage, this would, without doubt, be the first car to go in.
DBRS9,AN AMAZING PIECE OF KIT.
@thenicedudejay it sounds like traction control kicking in as it looses grip over the bumps.
I was reading that the redline varies ... wonder what sort of ballpark it is, sounds much higher than e.g. street db9
superb grip .... it actually eats the corners ...
yes but it is about 250kg lighter and hunkered down, not sure on the tyres, were those slicks?
And if so, the result is not questioned since these cars also have the short shift range and limited to track speeds of 180-190 and not 230 mph...
