Carfection engine geek fest.

I'd kind of forgotten about this car, but it will be amazing.

The pursuit of perfection and input of a contemporary Formula 1 designer gives it the feel of a modern day McLaren F1 project.

Plus the similarities in engine size and configuaration - just shows what progress has been made since the early 90s!

I saw this too

I'm not sure I like how the engine sounds, but I'm reserving final judgement.

To me it sounded a little buzzy and drill-like...

He’s not wrong though.

Should we get them to cancel the entire project? This seems the only logical outcome after some internets have heard the engine sound recorded on a handheld camera, compressed and then played through - at a guess - laptop speakers

[duncs500]

On a bench as well...

[JLv3.0]

I've made the call. It's cancelled.

[DaveE]

What?!

Just saying it like I hear it - I've heard better (on a bench, recorded on a handheld camera, played back through laptop speakers)

I also said I was reserving judgement - so don't cancel the project just yet JL - I may still buy one.

A good comment by [someone] above comparing it to the F1 though (in terms of focus, engineering, some of the mechanicals etc)

Maybe it'll sound better once it's installed in a car with the induction/exhaust sounds combining (in ways they probably aren't on the dyno)

I'm afraid it's too late. When I see a fellow forumite in distress, I pounce on the problem like an eagle on a trout. The project is DEAD and everyone involved in it has been SHOT.

Invoice in the post Jl.

Excellent. Now can you do the same for that silly AMG project one that looks like a fish too, that'd be great - ta.

[JLv3.0]

Link me to it mate.

Mik - standby one.

[JLv3.0]

Consider it done.

I guess a derv estate is a more practical car really...

I'll stick with what I have for a few more years.

[JLv3.0]

So............you want to cancel all cars now?

I guess I could try.
