A Matra V12 at full chat is possibly the greatest sound in racing history.

This is the greatest sound a car has ever made

One of the greatest racing car sound ever

It looks cool and sounds incredible, but the best thing about it is the Tour de France Auto entry (hence the registration and fog lights). Imagine taking a WEC LMH car to a tarmac rally event, winning, and being able to drive home in it afterwards. The idea of that seems impossibly outlandish today. Nice race number, by the way.

This is a type of music for my ears

One of the best-sounding V12s of all time! Magnificent video Bozzy! Keep up the good work!

lol I love how my sleep scheduled is timed to wake up to bozzy's uploads. Waking up to the sound of racecars irl is the best alarm clock tho. If you've never camped out at a racetrack, put in on your bucket list. Life is short!

very superb, the very best of french motorsport ever !!! I love MATRA V12 !!!

What an absolute beast that engine is. I can't imagine how hard it would be to tiptoe that car around a fully wet track like that. Matra seemed to always make fantastic-sounding engines, the ones they used in F1 sounded excellent as well.

Aaaah! The sound of twelve beautiful cylinders 😍😍😍😍😍

Thanks for the great history in the description.

FANTASTIC Matra 650, absolut roaring beast from a vanished era.

You make such good quality videos that I am disappointed when I watch any else's racing videos and they are shot mostly through chain link fences. You only seem to shoot through a fence or barrier to get a certain interesting corner/engine sound and then it is back to 180 degree pans following a great sounding car banging through the gears at high rpm. I enjoy the behind the scenes in the pits and when the car gets the go ahead from the race worker to enter the racetrack and puts it to the floor to get up to race speed. You also seem to take great care with the sound in your videos. I like the sound of a high revving engine but I especially like the sound when they are below their power band say coming out of a tight corner in too high a gear. The engine almost sounds angry and it is a prelude to when it finally gets into its power band and starts screaming again. I also appreciate when you continue to record the sound of the car and driver after they are out of the frame but we can still hear them standing on the gas down the back straight bending the tach needle in 5th and 6th gear. Great job, appreciated!

quel son ! merci Bozzy 👍👍👍👍

What a magnificent piece of artwork.

As always, wonderful work! ❤❤❤

Support Vintage Racing! Keep these awesome machines alive!

OMG!!! The sound !!!!!

Beautiful iconic car!! Great video again Bozzy!!

Beautiful music

can't get enough of this beast!! Awesome !!!!

this is what a racing car should sound like

Il n y a rien a dire .....juste a écouter le bruit magnifique du V12 MATRA

I’m sorry, but I’d place this engine’s sound even above the latest Pagani Huayra R. I know that’s an apples-to-footballs comparison, but this thing is so raw compared to practically all else. Sure a 917 or GT-40 are right there with it, but this one sings and screams all at once. Bravo!

The Matra V12 makes one of the best sounds in racing history, but it's somewhat of an unknown manufacturer (for those who are not car savvy). The tone of it is piercing and thumping at the same time, really unique compared to a Ferrari or even Lamborghini. I wonder what's it like to drive one of those. It looks like the meanest go-kart with XXL wide tires, and with a V12 behind, it must be crazy!

That,,, is a work of art. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Damn, i think that's the best sounding V12 i've ever heard

El sonido mas lindo de su epoca !!

Le feulement du V12 Matra...😮😊

I love that roaring french V12.

.. heck yes.. our very Souls are attuned to these high revving Motors..

Ciao Bozzy, che suono meraviglioso, pieno di energia e leggermente più cupo di un V12 Ferrari. Ero a Monza nelle prove del Gp di F1 1973, la Matra aveva questo motore e guidava Cris Amon, però non potevo ricordarmelo, avevo circa 4 anni.. Complimenti a te e a Matteo per questo video! Grazie, ciao! 🔊🎼🎵🎶

Excelente video 👌

Fantastic, thanks for the little history lesson. Interesting that this is called a barchetta or little boat, I always thought this type of car was called a speedster but barchetta certainly works😁

Le v 12 matra a le plus beau son de tous . Il y a d autre vidéo sur KZfaq où on peut l écouter

really interesting. It looks like the air intake faces rearward as far as I can tell, and the relatively quiet induction noise as the car is driving toward the camera suggests that might be true. All the fun sounds are after it passes by the camera.

Wish Francois was alive to drive this Matra.

it's beautifull😍

That's quite an ENDEAVOR to keep a dang near one off 60 year old racing v12 going.

Great V12 sound, F1 tops all

A sound that makes the hairs on your arms stand on end

First time I see it going so fast

Great

All we need now is Stewart and Cevert.

Proper race car sound. F1 has become a parody of itself.

Wonderfull Car.......

Les MATRA 1 tour. Au Mans en pleine charge dans la montée du DUNLOP ,imagine FRANÇOIS si tu nous regarde ;le papy Le Mans un jour❤⚙️🔧🎶

Just a slight bit of lag on the rev-counter during the warm up.

What was the little red car that was absolutely on top of the Matra? That little thing was fast.

Is it just me or does this Engine sound similar to the M88/1 out of the M1 Procar?

Whereas a Ferrari V-12 sounds like a grand symphony, the Matra V-12 sounds like a punk-rock band; brash, untamed, something your mum wouldn't like!

Was the driver's colleague at2:55saying to him "You've got your turn signal on" 🚨? 🥴

😍😍👍👍👍💪💪🙏🙋‍♂

.. while we still have gasoline..

Not the best sounding car abut still cool one. 1:00 That rpm thing seems not very accurate:)
