Completely insane. Chew's up tires in no time. Anyone know what the air relief noise from in the cabin is? Thanks for posting.

Blow-off valve I suspect is what you are hearing.

Its insane to look at the engineering in person.

In a p1 you hear lots off cool sounds while you're driving in addition to the exhaust. there are all kinds of obscure noises which sound like air suspension or some how servos doing their work.. and it's all at odd times which you don't expect, there is ALWAYS something happening. That turbo blow off valve is the most prominent, seems to only come on when you're really on the gas and in one of the racier modes (tbh I forgot which one cause when I get a chance to drive it even granny mode is fully-focusing). The other awesome sound is the intake noise in the roof scoop.. it's like a howling noise right above your head. Then you have the exhaust, which sounds better than 918 IMO, more tonal changes as you go through the revs.. it's such an entertaining car, like a live snorting mechanical animal... can't imagine what this gtr must be like.

This reminds me I've got to edit and post the YouTube video of my girl driving.. when she finally pushes hard enough to get into the meat of the powerband the blowoff valve goes off and scares the crap out of her..
