Ferrari 458 Spider vs Jaguar XKR-S: which sounds best?
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Both the Ferrari 458 Spider and the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible get V8 motors and arguably the most sonorous exhaust notes anywhere. Steve Sutcliffe gets out the noise-meter and visits a tunnel to decide which sounds best.

I think the XKR-S sounds much better... remember, it roars!

This car is amazing I ve got the blue coupe for 2 months et don’t regret my purchase the only annoying fact is the gearbox which is a bit slow and the old central console...
(Flat plane crank) Vs (Cross plane crank) == (Racing car sound) Vs (Muscle car sound)

Correct, most ppl. Don’ t understand the difference. I personally prefer the ‘roar’ over the ‘scream’!

You just summed it up quite well!
You meant: "Which sounds the loudest?" I still like the Jag's sound more! :3

7 years later and i can afford this car
The Jag by a long shot.
The sound of the 458 in that tunnel - I'm hearing it with my 5.1 surround headset WOW!!!! My heart rate just increased!
crackles and backfires of JAG on downshifts - just beautiful, reminds od TVRs
I love Jaguar, and I love the fact that Jaguar is making a comeback. Their Cars look amazing.
Jag sounds better and off course how much difference lol
I love my XFR, but that 458 takes it for me. Unbelievable sound.
making a video about how loud these beasts are is just as awesome as seeing how fast they go around a track! :D Thanks!
Maserati granturismo has the best exhaust note in my opinion

Aston 6l v12s are the best
Bad ass sound profiles. Way more of those please!
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Good job Steve... enjoyed this
Ferrari's engine is not a simple sound... It is melody ... it is Art...
Great video Mr Sutcliffe
2:16 Oh look! It seems that a fire extinguisher is standard now :DD
More of this vids please, Mr.Steve
love those scuderia-esque bronze wheels
The Fez sounds like an expensive hairdryer in comparison to the mighty Jag, end of contest
That was fun, my old Maserati had 115 db but that was with a full Larini with sports cats, loved that sound.
Was that heading up over the Shoreham fly-over in the last sequence...!? In which case, where was the tunnel you did the sound check in please?
both sound very nice in very different ways
sweet ferrari, love the gold rims and the soft touch interior as well as the fire extinguisher and lack of a gps.
i didnt know that the jaguar actually sounds like that. i thought it was going to be quiet. if that is seriously how it sounds i have to get one i mean it. amazing!

***** both are nice cars though tbh
Its a kind of ratio (logarithmic) between the sound you measure and the hearing treshold,in this case. You can use decibels for anything else
Its not about loudness its about hormony and satisfaction.
nice test!
Man...dat 458's sound...makes me shivers...what a monster.
Haha people that cant afford the seats from these beauties are arguing in the comments like their opinion matters.

Nigel Bowers you commented so it does. lol. so affording a pair of seats equal to even applying for credit for a car with a down payment of a house? a 1999 xk8 as nice as it is doesn't count in this case. also unless you have at least two supercars the manufacturers dont care about you. did you get a questionnaire sent out to you?
What accesoires did u use for the gopro? To attach it
I love both cars. Jaguar sounds manlier and “roar-like”. But Ferrari sounds more classic and high performance. Apples and oranges but both badass in different styles.
Excuse me for my ignorance, but what does the front tyres have to do with the noise an engine makes?
Wonder how F80 M3 with performance exhaust stand between these two?
1) Wider tyres have more road contact therefore more vibration is produced inside the tyre; this vibration "shakes" the tyre to produce sound waves, just like a hi-fi speaker. 2) Wider tyres move more air around the tyres and wheel area creating turbulence. This turbulence creates pressure differences which we hear as sound waves or pressure waves to be precise. Hope that helps :)
The tunnel in the jag was different right? Not the best comparison. I don't think they are too different in the end.
the xkrs is a really fun car to drive. we have one in the family and it's a blast to ride and drive. it gets out of the hole good to almost instant torque right away
Ferrari does, has, and always will set the standard for a beautiful exhaust note....
What are you doing on the Shoreham flyover?
Nothing sounds better than a Nissan Sentra with a CVT going uphill. A Ferrari can only dream of droning so hardcore.

That car sounds amazing!
can't agree more... EPIC SOUND
The sounds are different and I like them both.
Is this filmed in the Southwick tunnel near Shoreham?
Was following a Jag XKR-S today.. The driver booted it to overtake 3 cars in one go and it sounded awesome!!!!
I think thats filmed at Longcross?
I want both of these cars in my life!
Actually is not, I had the same inquiry and I used both, the application I downloaded for my phone and a professional sound measuring device to measure the noise coming out from my motorbike's exhaust, the results were pretty close. What makes the difference little bit more significant though is when you put the filter on the sound measuring device.
I like the Jags Dirty Dirty sound!
No air filter at the rear for the Jag? Then the engine noise is for perdestrian more than driver.
That'd be a monster!
What app did u use?
Jag has that classic growl of a jag and the crackle pops
Yamaha helped tune the exhaust to direct different frequencies of sound throughout the cabin (high frequencies travel over head, low rumbly frequencies underneath) as well as give the car its high pitch.
the sound of jaguar XKR-S it's noise while the sound of ferrari 458 spider it's a sublime melody
it's about the experience from behind the wheel, doesn't matter where the engine is
@NACHOOFF What do you drive?
Jag did a great job with this car and the exhaust sound is just right. In neutral it will only rev to ~4,000 RPM. If it would have rev'd higher like the Ferrari did, it would have hit the db meter even harder. Awesome cars, both sound amazing.
thanks!!
Was the 458 in race mode for the test? It *completely* changes the engine sound!
The 458 wasn´t even in race mode just then the exhaust will go like hell *-*
@goat6inboots Is the Maserati GT louder? :o
does someone knows how much db does a Corvette Z06 ?
That is a pretty incredible sound, but I have to say that I still prefer the CGT. It has this uniqueness to it that I've never heard in another car -- especially in person. If you get the chance, go to Pebble and watch / listen to all the cars as they roll out for the Concours. Everything is there, Zonda, K'segg, Ferrari, Bugatti, LFA's, CGT's, everything. Most of them do a full / near-full throttle launch. It's awesome., and will give you goosebumps.
Whats up with the gold rims???????
They should've mentioned that the Ferrari is equipped with the optional official "Sports Exhaust", hence the black exhaust pipes.
He didn't turn the 458 to Race mode, that is much much louder.
I agree. Although i can't tell the difference in sound between Cinque, F, or Tricolore. They have slightly different engines.
The jaguar surprised me, but the ferrari sounds really better
Well, invite the Maserati Granturismo S / Sport / Stradale to such a contest the next time.😆
Good call. Tough to argue with that. The LFA has a great sound too, as others have pointed out, but I think the "throaty-ness" of the CGT sounds more mechanical, whereas the LFA sounds more F1 and "technical" -- if that make sense. I prefer raw / old school (like true manual transmissions, versus "flappy paddle" gearboxes). Having driven a reasonable number of both variants, there is no question you feel much more connected to a car with a real manual gearbox and clutch. Hands down.
It was your comment: twice the price so should be twice as loud?
the ENZO is the titan of the sound . :D
458 for me hands down.
How much do they cost? :O
very nice !
*the Jag XKR all day ..more practical and sexier plus more elegant*

Jag! Because my Jag XKR 175 makes beautiful noise
Maserati Gran Tourismo deserves to be represented here.
"easily"? Heard of the xkr-s GT? Or a Project 8....?
what honda does the 458 look like..?
Today we've got the 488... Damn I miss the 4.5 NA V8. But I'm glad Jaguar kept their 5.0 Supercharged V8.
The Ferrari, like all recent Ferrari's, sound like an orchestra. Fantastic, crisp, sharp and well played. The Jag is more like a brown bear, on fire, sitting on a bass drum getting thrown down a fire escape from 16th floor. One 'slightly' more sophisticated then the other, but both, hugely addicting.
My neighbor owns an xks and I saw him pull out as I was walking home from school as he was flooring it it growled like no other! The only other car which sound I could compare it to was a gt500 with an aftermarket exhaust. Jag on sound a build quality anyday
The company I work for makes precision mics and decibel meters. It's hard for decibel meters to be accurate all the time due to the type of mic used, and how sound behaves. To get any idea what's going on you have to put up arrays of microphones of different types and gather the data on several laptops. It's expensive and time consuming, and it's not something you can carry in your pocket!
Whats a decibell?
I can't help it but those Ferrari v8s always Sound like some V-Tec ricers but still amazing
You can't do a sound challenge with the 458 Italia in it, that's like bringing the Hulk on a strength war.
What about the Aston V8?
Where is the sls roadster?
I would need to have both in my garage to decide....anyone feeling generous?
Ferrari 360 CS? Best sound I've ever heard
Why dont you try and test 8C spider..
there should have been an aston martin in that test ! lool .. nice vid keep up da good work guys
Try both and judge for yourself! World Class Driving in Las Vegas, well worth the money.
2:17 - fire extinguisher in the footwell :) .
458 spider vs 360 challenge stradale sound test?
You didn't give the tunnel decibels for the Jag yet you say the Ferrari is much louder. Seems like a fair review.
Ever put an amg in neutral and revved it?
