They may be piping in fake sound, but that's exactly how the VQs sound.

Not a fan of how V6s sound and no turbo engine will sound that pronounced from the factory not even the new Ferraris.

wish car manufacturers would stop piping in fake engine/exhaust sound. But I guess that won't be a problem when ICE engines are gone. LOL

Listen to the 296 GTB. It's a turbo 6. Then please delete your post🤣. Thank you

That VQ engine sounds pretty good through its evolution. Not sure what the TTs will do to the sound in real life…

Same engine in the Q50/60RS (VR30DDTT) and they sound fantastic with dp and exhaust.

VQ's get a bad rap because of flat-billed, vapers who ditch the cats/resonators and put on coffee can mufflers that turn them into a buzz box.

Agreed, when resonators remain on the exhaust and cats, they can sound very motorsport. Unfortunately, it's too easy to fuck up the multitude of various exhaust system setups. Drivers looking for volume increases only are rewarded with a symphony of droning rasp.

For a Ferrari, it doesn’t sound great or have you never heard a 458 or 812GTS.

I have a 458. I guess we will disagree about that 6 cylinder Ferrari sounding good. I think it sounds amazing. 🤷🏽*♂️. Just going by videos
