brobably a pre 2004 thats the n/a v12 CL600 or s600. On a side note, I wouldn't mind living with that noise in a dd.

That's a pre-2003 S600 n/a V12 from Japan. That thing sounds amazing and it is DUMPED.. It's amazing how amazing an n/a V12 sounds.

Here's another video of it.

It's a cool sound but IMHO (and I hope I don't get flamed) it doesn't FIT the car. The sound that it is making doesn't "sound" like it matches the speed that the car is actually going.

For example, look at the LF-A around the track, it sounds similar to this and looks like it is going close to indy car speeds around that track, the sound of the exhaust note is matching the car's performance.

If my car isn't RIDICULOUSLY fast I wouldn't want it to LOOK fast or SOUND fast without being just as fast. Make sense? lol

I gotta agree here with some of the folks. It SOUNDS dead sexy, but I'm not sure I'd wanna ride with that day in, day out. Seems like after a while it would start to get annoying.
