Some drivers enjoy the almost silent motors of electric cars, but there are plenty of reasons why people love the sounds of loud cars
. A few noteworthy car brands
have become famous for their monstrously loud engines. Out of these impressively loud cars, which are the loudest? HotCars
ranked some of these roaring cars based on how loud they were in decibels, and the results covered cars of different styles and eras. Some of the most notoriously loud cars are listed below. Ford F-150 Raptor
According to Car and Driver
, the 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor
is the loudest pickup truck on the road, coming in at 88 dB. Interestingly, this actually makes it the quietest car on this list, but it is still remarkably loud. Even other performance trucks that have come out since it launched, like the Ram 1500 TRX, can't match the Raptor in loudness.
A loud engine is not the only thing the F-150 Raptor has going for it either. It is a high-horsepower machine known for its off-road capabilities.
Mini Cooper JCW GP
The idea of a hatchback Mini with an engine volume measuring in at 93 decibels sounds almost unreal. However, the performance Mini Cooper JCW GP does just that.
In fact, Car and Driver notes that this Mini is so loud that it could even become too much. Sound is not the only aspect of the JCW GP that goes beyond what one might expect from a Mini.
The GP's aggressive style elements, including a beautiful spoiler, highlight how this is a hatchback meant to be taken seriously on the track. It backs this style up in performance, as it can go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 4.7 seconds.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat
is just a few years old, but it has already become something of a legend among muscle car enthusiasts. Its 707-horsepower, 6.4-liter V8 gives it a level of power that few other street-legal cars can replicate. Unsurprisingly, this over-the-top Challenger is also one of the loudest cars out there. When the full power of the Hellcat's V8 is put to use, its sound levels can reach 105 dB. Some might wonder why a car would ever need to be that loud, but this is the Hellcat, after all. Everything about it is meant to be bigger and bolder.
BMW E92 M3
A base model BMW E92 M3 is loud, but that isn't why it takes the title of the loudest car on this list. MW E92 M3s are popular among tuners, and they particularly like to make the car even louder than it already is.
With a modified exhaust, the BMW E92 M3 can hit 120 decibels. At a level this loud, it seems unlikely that any other street-legal car would come close to matching it.
