It looks like they removed the driver seat to compensate for equipment add-ons. Perhaps they are testing for record times like they were doing with the CTR?

Exhaust sounds dampened for sure with the two turbos and cats. I'm very curious as to what it sounds like with a free-flow exhaust.

Must be tough to drive the ring with no driver's seat.

Whoops. I'm lacking sleep today, meant to say passenger.

LOL!! N Spec is a bit tired I guess.
But, it looks quite good in black.

All I hear is tire noise
The AMG cars produce some great exhaust notes despite turbos/cats....hope HONDA can do something similar.

does not sound very exotic
can only hope that was in electric mode

I'm liking it a bit more after this video.

Well, the best suitable comparison to exotic noises from two different twin turbo vehicles are here.

NSX:

488:

The Ferrari sounds better and louder. However, the 488 also sounds like it's definitely less restricted by cats as you can hear the turbo spool-up much louder like many catless turbo cars.

I wouldn't discount the new NSX as not sounding exotic, as there are many upclose videos of it sounding pretty good already. Just not really loud like the Ferrari, which IMO is not necessarily a bad thing.

As one youtube comment says

The Boxter, the F-type and the 458 sounds better

and it's sad, but true. No turbo car will sound as good as NA, it seems...

True in the past, but now there is the new 911 and 911 (s), both turbo, and both sound great.
Then there is the entire AMG engine lineup...all turbo, all sweet sounding;

I've heard all of those, they sound shite compared to any high performance NA car, period.

Well, that just about sums it up I guess

youtube videos are great for plumbing repairs.....unfortunately for comparing exhaust sounds they don't cut it.

I've heard 911 turbo and AMG turbo live.
