roared away
Sped off noisily
Roared away describes departing rapidly with a loud engine noise.
The phrase typically applies to vehicles—motorcycles, sports cars, speedboats—that accelerate noisily as they leave: He roared away on his Harley.
The roar suggests power and sometimes anger or urgency.
By extension, anything that departs dramatically and forcefully might roar away.
