The sound of a motor is like a classical piece of music to a car enthusiast. Within a space of time, a mechanical cacophony becomes tuned and finessed into notes of power and sheer pleasure.
Today’s symphony comes courtesy of a gaggle of Ferrari FXX race cars. The FXX were a series of consumer race cars that a very select group of Ferrari clientele were allowed to purchase. These are non-street legal Ferraris, kicking out 800 screaming horsepower at 8500RPM, courtesy of a bored out and further built 6.3L version of the Enzo V12 engine. These frenetic screamers have a serious temper, and sound like the meanest motors coming out of Marinello. Sounds like Formula 1 back in the glory days. Bless Ferrari.
Listen and watch the video below when a number of Ferrari FXX are let loose on the track and a master audio capture team sets forth to capture the ravenous snarl, idle purr, and high-pitched screams as these magnificent machines accelerate out on the race track.

He loves to tell good stories beyond the regular press release and is often on the hunt for one.

He also has a hard jones for Mexican food and is constantly on the search for the perfect slice of pizza.
At a statuesque 6 foot 5 inches, don’t fear his size as he is a gentle giant with a laid back attitude. If you see him around town, say hello and he will greet you with enthusiasm and a smile. His passion for life is nothing short of infectious. When he is not smashing away at his keyboard penning awesome motorcycle articles, Sam regularly works as a freelance photographer and runs a bespoke camera strap business for professional and enthusiast photographers.
Prior to transitioning over to journalism and starting his own business, Sam worked in public relations and marketing for The Pollack PR Marketing Group, Triumph Motorcycles America, and JMPR. He holds a BA in Communication Studies from California State University, Northridge.
