First start of the project car.
Otherwise, turbo rotary. Or pretty much anything made by alfa Romeo in the 70s through 90s.
In reply to Turbine :
I wonder if that was Walter Rohrl driving?
In reply to livinon2wheels :
#4 was Stig Blomqvist, #6 was Hannu Mikkola.
You reminded me of something Herr Röhrl said once, how he hated Finnish rallies because he wanted to drive a car, not fly one 
He was a real technician of a driver. His comments got him into a little trouble...
Well tuned inline 6's and v12's up on a song. Same for v8's.
Also love to hear big radial aircraft engines on start up. We used to go to the airport in Oxford in the '70s and watch the "Southern" come in and leave. It was either a dc3 or Martin 404-can't remember. It sounded wonderful and smoked like hell on starting. They always left the far engine idling while they got the cargo and passengers swapped. It left huge puddles of oil too.
Starting one of the K19, K38, or K50 Cummins on a crew boat is something I can't describe. Sounds like a Giant radial or thundering doom from hell. Man it's sweet. Edison Chouest used Cats in their crew boats that sounded really good at full throttle.
All these years later, I can’t get the sound of a certain C Prepared Mustang out of my head.
there are 2 that absolutely do it for me every time. 1 is the Lexus LFA. 2 is an RB26. I can't afford an LFA, but I get to enjoy the RB often.
MonZora hot start

Related to that, a friend recently shared a video of his third-gen RX-7 on the dyno. It sounded good–all the brap yet none of the harshness.
...............all these pages and no one said "a rod knock in a competitors engine" Guess it shows we are generally good people...............I say generally because, well I posted this..........the rest of you seem OK.
On a positive I really dig prewar straight 8s of the Alfa variety.
Gotta love any loud, American V8.

Wringing out the s85 bmw v10.
The fun starts around 40 seconds.... that 8k+ rpm pull from the 54 second mark...whew!
Ah got my yearly fix
Only 6 months but damn I still love this sound
There is a Voodoo engine on eBay that I need to be told that I don't need
Dueling Porsche 917 and Ferrari 512 in the the original LeMans soundtrack.
Modular 2V hands down. Wouldn't say no to the Testarossa's flat-12
Jaguar V12 IMSA car!
BMW M1 at the IMSA races (if I recall correctly) in Portland in the early 80's.
And Tom Walkinshaw in an XJS in 1985 here https://youtu.be/M9I7GWllPFY?si=mtLP2WlYYcrOVUr4 In-car starting at 1:19. Why do sports commentators not appreciate the value of not talking constantly?
Any Mazda 3 or more rotor.
Honda VFR800.
Ford small-block v8s (the one of these 4 that I will always own myself).
How about the sound of a Honda starter motor coming to life? It has a unique note (that I know well).
I really like the sound of this. It sounds downright angry, grumpy, yet serious, and the non-synchro tranny is icing on the cake:
Ferrari 488GTB
Porsche GT4 RS
GM 2.8L V6 from the late 80s
Here's a vote for the Ducati L-twin. Honda and Suzuki did it pretty well, too, but Ducati . . . what a song.
