Default This Porsche GT3 RS Sounds Like a Formula One Race car



What you hear coming down the main straight isn't a decade-old Formula One race car, it's a GT3 RS 6-cylinder engine firing a wild exhaust note throughout the entire rev range.

Not quite a Formula One race car but still pretty darn good.

Sounds better than current F1 cars but then that is sadly a low bar these days. V12 or V10 atmo era, not even close.

Still sounds basically like a Porsche to me, just louder like the cats were modified and/or the muffler.

Still doesn't hold a candle to a Ferrari or Lamborghini V12, in my opinion. Not sure what all of the excitement is about.

Sounds like GT3. Doesn't nearly sound like F1 car. No chance with these RMP's.

The smaller the pistons and cylinder the higher the exhaust pitch. A 4.0 litere H6 engine won't sound like a 3.0 litere V10.

Not a F1 sound, but, it still sounds exotic.
