Lower the SPL levels on the microphones and let us turn it up louder so we get amazing unclipped undistorted sound next time! Do a run then adjust the gain so there's no clipping and then do the main shoot! Also tunnels suck for hearing the true clear crisp sound of the car

Where is there a 30 sec clip so I can make it my Ringtone

Years ago I helped with the running of one of these for a private museum. Incredibly we were allowed to test the car in the lunch hour at a track day at Brands Hatch. When the car was pushed into the pitlane none of the TVR/ Caterham etc. drivers took much notice: - old car, yeah, yeah, back to the burgers and chips. -Then we fired it up! By the time it came round to cross the start line everyone was hanging over the pit wall going crazy!

I saw one of these at the very first Goodwood Festival of Speed. In an attempt to start it, the car was being towed up and down a sloping grassy field that was the paddock, by a brown MkIV Cortina estate. First, three or four cylinders caught, then a couple more, with each following cylinder adding to the symphony. Epically memorable, maybe because of the Cortina' assist.... Some years later, a book called Into The Red, by Nick Mason and Mark Hales, has an accompanying audio CD of the cars featured, one of which is the BRM V16. (I'm sure it'll turn up on a search here on YT.) It is recorded at Donington Park, commencing with a push start in the pitlane, where you can identify the same sequence described above, until with the full compliment of cylinders howling, it sets off for some glorious laps. A single microphone (on the pit wall, I believe) captures the engine in all its glory as it starts and sings around the laps, and if you know the circuit you can truly identify exactly where the car is from the rise and fall of the furious mechanical orchestra. The effect of the drive-by as it passes the pits each lap is properly shiver-inducing. Even now I can feel it typing this......

absolutely amazing , i enjoyed every second of this video , the last onboard is a symphony , thanks a lot top gear for bringing this absolute experience

Many many years ago I had the unforgettable pleasure of hearing a BRM V16 being push started on the grass at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, between the parked visitors' cars, just as I was walking back to my own car to drive home again.

Oh my word! I'm covered in goosebumps after watching that (with headphones on)

At long last something worth watching

My father always described the sound as a babys wail, but good. 😂 Always had a spot for the noise these monsters produce! The sound of one coming down the straight from "Into The Red" is seared into memory! I've been a fan of the BRM V16 since I was a kid, this video has been an auditory sensation!

The video is awesome and so is the sound. But nothing will ever do that thing justice, seeing it and hearing it in real life, just a step away from the exhaust as it reverberates through your body, it’s truly one of the most beautiful sounds to the body.

Now that's an engine sound, what a great series so far....loving the headphone tech.

That engine tone is wicked..My god what a great sounding engine. I found myself holding my breath and gritting my teeth while listenng with the phones on........Aewsome !

Please please, get the Ferrari-Lancia D50 for this! That V8 will sound amazing in that tunnel too! If it is not too much asking, a Matra MS120 would be nice 😊

the one with the 16 individual headers sounds even more wild

Im so proud to be from the town where this was made

Nothings screams "overcomplicated engineering" like a V16 with just 1.5 litres displacement using an overcomplicated supercharger and producing around 600 horsepower. But hey, Formula One always had the most crazy technology in racing. 😁🤟

Hats off and well done to the men who bought this back to life, Amazing, fripping well amazing, thank you so much

These episodes are a stroke of genius. Thank you. Aurally entranced.

What a cool piece of history! The fact that they took the time to replicate the BRM-16 in it's entirety is just crazy! I'm sure with modern steel alloys and such, it's a lot more reliable than the original.. and sounds just as wicked! I'll bet if they put that engine in a relatively modern F1 frame and did a few mods, it would be a pretty tough contender!😉👍👍

I know there will always be people who will say the LFA or some V12 supercar out there sounds the best, but for me personally the BRM V16 has the greatest and most insane engine noise out there. This thing sounds like it's perpetually at it's limit and also not straining itself at all. When you press on the gas it immedietly reminds of entire groups of V8 Stock cars rushing past your ears at 200mph, while the BRMs engine isn't even at it's limit even has some more noise packed in store above 9000RPM. The engine screams like it doesn't want to be inside the chassis and is ready to hop straight out of it any minute, but it also looks so resolutely built you'd be hard pressed to find a reason to fear the machine besides the noise. The entire car is an enigma, a 2L V16, revving to 11k RPM, it's something you think up as a concept while daydreaming, not something you'd ever see in a car and I love it for that!

It's one of the best sounding engines, but these recordings sound pretty distorted. Part might be the echo/reverb in the tunnel, port might be limitations of the microphones because it's simply too loud to make all the audio details and frequencies audible. I think the old audio clip (BRM V16 Engine Sound here on YT) from ~17 years ago still sounds better.

Now this is Top Gear, awesome editing and amazing work with the audio. Do the Lexus LFA pretty please.
