J_C Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 You can listen to the engine starting from inside the car, from outside the car, acceleration and driving by: Linky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgwz Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Im sorry but that startup of outside the car sounds awfull. I am really behind the idea of the diesel R8 but that sounds ruddy awfull. When its moving however it sounds rather good, nothing special though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3malawimatt Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 just totally put me off the thing. My 335d sounds much better then that. Awful. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stand outside your 335d whilst someone else starts it and drives it. All sooties sound like a bag of spanners!! - even the latest greatest ones. Shame we cant have sooty performance/economy but with V8/V10 soundtrack. maybe one day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark_90 Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 It doesn't sound that bad. It just doesn't have the nice exhaust note that most people are used to. Open your minds for feck's sake, this is a world first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence i was excited to think what a v12 could sound like. That v12 should sound a millions times better then mine. And it dosen't. But others are right, think of that wave of tourque! relentless i bet! I am comparing diesels here....... so course its gonna sound like a diesel!
