I never thought someone else would've voted for such an obscure engine

Another vote for the BRM V16 here, I have a few mp3 clips of it, wondrous

I'd vote for the BRM as well...

As for the most evil engine noise, I'd vote for the Mercedes-Benz SSK from around 1930. It's totally normal until the driver floors the pedal and the supercharger cuts in. You can hear it slightly at the end of this clip.

(This is mostly in german - be patient until the last 20 - 30 seconds.)

In reality it's extremely loud! It's the sound of compressed air screaming through the carbs...
