I was thinking the same thing. That car is the closest to NA F1 sound there is other than a 2013 F1 car.

I was there at the Finali Mondiali event, tracked my Scuderia.
Amazing event, lots of fun. Saw the Challenge cars, Fxx program cars. Man the music these things make is awesome.

Lucky You..Ferrari Heaven ! That music is an endangered species going forward in the not too distant future. Shame.

The racing world has gone a bit wonky when an f1 car sounds like a choked vacuum cleaner, and a road car which is illegal on the road and not able to race, but with "green" electric credentials sounds like an f1 race car.



Or maybe I'm just jealous of TheFerrariF**k

Very true. In 2012 I attended the F1 race at Yas marina circuit. Without ear plugs the sound was painful and a headache was guaranteed, especially where I was sitting in the paddock area with a long straight stretch and the cars zooming by at speed. This year the cars are so muffled down you didnt need the plugs at all.

MY first modern F1 race was 2000 Canadian Grand Prix. I noticed all the ear plug sales walking in...It wasn't long before I was running back to buy a pair. Louder than a rock concert by far...Shriiilllllllllllll.

Makes it pretty hard to argue that they haven't got the sound solved for the incoming Turbos...

The F**K is a V12 + electric. Not a turbo.

Damn, 1190 lbs of downforce at 124 mph - that's impressive to say the least.
How much downforce does the GT3 produce?

Me too, I tracked my Italia there with brand new trofeo R tires. Amazing experience, awesome grip, made the run of the mill ferraris there feel like push overs. I will only use semi slicks on the track from now on starting with my gt3 which is due in port Dec 22.

BTW, the sticker number they gave me for my 458 was 69.
