Yesterday, we asked fans to try and identify a car just by the sound of the engine as it rips past.

We had some great guesses from comments here on the blog to our Facebook Page and Twitter. Here's a short selection:

Michael Anthony Rodgers - It's a Koenisigsegg or a Pagani Zonda

Rishi Kamal Mishra - Lamborghini Gallardo @ 234 km/h

Willi Barnetta - Porsche Spyder 918

Chris Hile - Honestly it sounds more like a 4cylinder to me. I don't hear the harmonies you typically get out of a 6, 8, 10, or 12 cylinder. I could be wrong though.

Joshua Mower - Lexus LFA 187 mph

And finally, Shang-Fu Chiang, who was right on the money with:

The Caterham Superlight R500

And the speed was 140mph. That's not quite Veyron quick, but you sure can feel it in an open cockpit sitting around 3 inches above the tarmac!

You can get your hands on the Most Wanted Caterham Superlight, fully loaded with slicks and lightened chassis mods straight out of the box by pre-ordering Most Wanted on PC from Origin or on 360 and PS3 from Gamestop.

Video of Caterham SV with Ford Duratec 2.3 liter engine doing acceleration runs. Shift in to 2nd gear was slow to allow gauges to settle. The one in the video was a prototype engine, with redline at 7200 rpm, 220 hp. The redline was later increased to 8200 rpm, allowing 250 hp. Speedometer is mph, so that's 80 mph in 2nd gear on those runs. Current versions are now called Caterham CSR 260 (so the power must be up to 260 hp now).
