Since we've been talking about incredibly rare Porsches and old episodes of Top Gear, I thought I'd combine the two topics. Conveniently, this brings us to the most recent limited edition uber-car from Stuttgart, the Carrera GT. It just so happens to be, in my opinion, with its unique V10 whoooop whhhooooooop, the best sounding car... in the world.

No Replacement for Displacement... Except Turbos
For many, the chance to see an insane, high-revving, Formula 1 car is coming to an end. The current 18,000 rpm 2.4 liter V8s will show their full fury for the 2011 and 2012 seasons then go the way of the Mastodon and Saber-toothed tiger. With the FIA's focus on greener technologies in racing, smaller displacement engines have constantly supplanted the previous generation. The 3.0 liter V10s gave way to the current 2.4 liter V8s and they will, in turn, fade away in favor of 1.6 liter four cylinders. However, for the first time in the modern era of F1, the consumer can truly boast about having F1 technology in their daily driver.
