What have you done to the car recently?
Did you run low on oil?

I heard the noise when I got home and checked the oil the following morning I was sitting on half, topped it up although the sound remains.

I was sitting at 210km/h in 6th at about 6000 rpm and felt the car become hesitant, I backed off immediately reducing my speed to about 130 and then tried to return although when I climbed up to 150 it just felt like it was holding back and so I did not try again.

Do you have upgraded oil jet bolts? Might be a scuffed bore. Going speeds of 160+ kmh (100 mph) for an extended period of time could cause the cylinder not receive proper lubrication and scuff without the upgraded oil jet bolts. Doesnt sound good :/

does the sound get faster as you rev it???
hate to scare you, but my gf's mini cooper did this,(ran it out of oil ) and it was a rod bearing, needed a new engine.

Don't have upgraded jet bolts I was only going 160+ for no more then 15 seconds I backed off immediately

Yes the sound gets faster as I rev it although is barely noticeable when cold and its revving up but becomes more apparent when engine warms up and revs drop
