Talking with authority means one thing: to bark in a loud, clear voice that can be understood by everyone in a method and tone that immediately silences any and all other conversations due to the forcefulness of one’s voice. For example, think of a Drill Sergeant in any of the Armed Forces. Loud, clear, and with a tone that makes a bunch of kids straight out of high school shut the hell up and listen, quickly. It’s a rare commodity lately in a lot of people, and even more so in the automotive world. We know the classic noises: the scream of the Italians, the roar of the Americans, the pressurized turbines that Japan is infamous for. But for one car to shut everyone up around it is kind of mythical. We’re a little jaded to most automotive noises…or is it “deaf”?…so not much catches our ear that silences us anymore. But watch the crowd that came out to view this Zagato Mostro. It’s a boutique piece powered by a Maserati V8 and this thing sounds pissed off from the moment it awakens to the moment it is shut off. Imagine this thing in a tunnel wide-open in 4th gear!
i think Maserati’s have one of the most glorious sounding V8’s ever.. I love the sound my 351 Clevo makes but the sound of a Maserati is utterly epic. Theres one that goes down my street every morning and if I’m outside I always stop to listen to it go past…
Siren? Sounds more like a BIG friggin cat looking for a snack.
Zagato designers must have been looking at photos of a Marcos 1800GT in their lunch break!
That V8 sounds like a wet fart compared to a 351 Clevo, John T – so get back in your garage for some noise therapy…
I’ve got a babyLunati hydraulic cam on the shelf for a cleveland that would put that to shame .
Sounds sh*t and looks sh*t.. That is all i have to say on this one
