Racing V12?

And maybe because those 2 cars were built for the same reason?

I may be wrong so correct me if I am but I believe the fxxk is purely for the track and not road legal whereas the P1 is a road-going track car. The P1 does sound very good but has inhibitors to be road legal and the fxxk doesn't.

That's the P1 GTR. Both the FXX K and P1 GTR are track only cars. Ferrari and McLaren keep the cars at the factory and have special track days where the owners can go and drive them.

Both cars are not road legal.

FXX K sounds 100x better than current F1 engines. Good grief.

Would be nice to see the Ferrari FXX K and the Pagani Zonda Revolucion in a sound comparison.
I would believe the Revolucion is also a only track car but I can be wrong. But its v12 engine sounds amazing too. (Just my opinion).

The R and the Revolucion is very much the same Zonda just a more down force version. But yes it sounds just amazing. Comparing it to the ferrari track car would be a much fair v12 / v12 sound comparison. My vote goes to the Zonda R tough.

And a FXX K video shot by the same person who took the Zonda video.

Personally, I think the FXX K sounds better.

I think the FXX K sound better now too. But the Revolucion is not so behind. For sure that looks like a much better comparison in engine sound. Just my opinion. Great videos.
