The exhaust doesn't sound quite that loud in the standard car! It is a nice note in the stadard exhaust, but the F1 version comes with a Max Power exhaust. I don't know how much power this loses it ;)

Overall though it is quite a specialist machine. Much breathed and and then there is the specialist equipment inside.

"The sports car was given a newly developed exhaust system with reduced back pressure and a special sound for Formula 1 use."

So, basically, they pimped the ride because it makes it cooler?

Yes I loved it almost as much as the F1 cars! I enjoyed it when it went round for something like 5 laps, I thought that he must be getting the practise in ;)
