In an epic voyage, Evo magazine took four of the Europe’s finest sportscars to one of the Europe’s finest driving roads, the Stelvio Pass in Italy. The V8 contenders are Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Alfa Romeo 8C, Audi R8 V8 Spyder, and they are joined by the flat-six Porsche 911 GTS. The purpose of this test is not to see which one’s better, but which one has the nicest soundtrack. That’s why they brought the cabrio versions. Our choice? Aston, hands down!

Of course, it’s all about personal preference. German cars have a growling sound (quite mitigated in the Porsche, eh Graham?). British cars make a burbling sound. And Italians make a ripping sound. I love the Alfa!
that porsche (in terms of soundtrack) is like a knife at a gunfight. . why did they bother bringing it? nonsense. Id have to go with the alpha. close behind – aston.
