Here's also a video of a Macan Turbo using Launch control. Sounds pretty good IMO... No need for a sports Exhaust.

Thanks for posting, they do complain about the engine/exhaust sound. I guess a turbo can never sound as good as an NA engine. Too bad Porsche didn't learn from AMG, their biturbo sounds amazing.

Autocar always complains about things that aren't important IMO. I never like their reviews, but since there aren't many reviews of the Macan yet, I decided to post it here .

IMHO the exhaust note in the video is pretty nice and I wouldn't even want any more sound in a car like that. It's a SUV, not a sportscar. And like you said... turbo charged cars normally don't sound great in general. I'm not a fan of the taxi, sorry AMG, turbocharged sound, but that's subjective of course (I did sort of like their n/a sound though)
