Super performance that sounds like a V6.

“Super performance that sounds like a V6.”

If noise is all you care about, just take the muffler off from the vehicle.

Did you know the (Yamaha made) 4.4 liter V8 in the recent Volvo XC90 SUV made less horsepower (311), than the current 4 cyl. Turbocharged and supercharged (320) engine does?

I went to Laguna Seca for the American LeMans series a few years ago. I wanted to see the diesels, which won BTW. Those 6 cylinder engines ran at lower rpms. They sounded different.

Six cylinder Porsches have always sounded okay to me.
