[Video] Zonda R vs Huayra R V12 sound comparison | GRR (2024)

So naturally it’s good science to compare the sounds of these incredible cars. What better venues than Monza and our own Goodwood Festival of Speed presented by Mastercard. Monza with its sprawling straights that allow these machines to really stretch their lungs, while our Hill lets you get nice and close to the cars as they explore the rev limiter and test their braking resolve.

Truthfully, right from the off, we’d say the Huayra has the edge. Why? because it revs higher, it has a broader vocal range, giving even the Aston Martin Valkyrie and GMA T.50 a run for their money. That’s not to say the Zonda is exactly muted, it’s just not lusty like its younger sibling. As always though, these things are subjective. What do you think?

Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a helping of motoring-related amusem*nt to help break up your day. Watch the last video:Hardcore off‑roading in trucks fit for the apocalypse
