Its a creation from the tagged Blackwell Sportscars. Its a conversion based on the Miata, similar to a Bauer Catfish, I would imagine. They used Crap Engineering's Miata KL swap kit. They call it the SPR1.

Was just browsing the Imports thread a few days ago, and saw postings about rather nice boxer-engine Alfas. Reminded me of another Boxer Alfa, though this one sounds particularly special (from one of my favourite YT channels too 
):
This Alfa 1600 Sprint in question, built for the Swiss Hill-climb championship, sounds so good with that 1.6L 4-banger revving upwards of 9,000RPM...
Really one of the best sounds in the automotive world in my opinion, is the sound of a high-revving engine, particularly 4-cylinder units. The strong induction note produced by a set of ITB's is just so alluring, which the 1600 Sprint above is a prime example of

So I was watching hatchback videos on youtube, again, and I came across these two that I felt had fantastic sound:
Renaulsport Clio RS 200. Such an exotic sound from this one. I'm a VTEC lover, but this sounds so much sweeter. It actually sounds a *bit* like an RX-8...
Fiat 500 Abarth (300hp). This thing is just a monster. Watching it run away from a 997 GT3 like that is pretty wild.

It sounds so mean and it's just idling.

The 1938 Mercedes-Benz W154 has what is quite possibly the nastiest sounding V12 ever made:
As much as I love the smoothness of Matra and 1960s Ferrari V12s, this sort of thing appeals to me as well.
If that wasn't your cup of tea, have this:

This Matra MS670 has probably been posted before, worth re-posting though.
Along with the V16 and H16 engines, BRM also made a great sounding V12:

An Auto Union V16, 'nuff said.
Some Inline-8 goodness, an Alfa P3 being driven the way it is meant to be driven!

Probably one of the greatest sounding sounds ever heard on this planet. Sorry, your modern twin turbo V6's / EV Race cars don't come close to the hair raising experience and sound this pure machine has. Absolutely awesome.
