its the turbos whirring as they reach high rpms...plus Lotus's V8 Turbo powerplant doesn't sound like domestic V8's, it is noticeably more high pitched for some reason...anyone know why?

Is there a 320i here in the states? Dont think so. so im guessing its a newer, lightweight chassis with the older e30 m3 engine dropped in and a crazy super close-spaced tranny. Sure was smoking lots of nice cars tho

The sound is from the unrestricted unsupported (no bushings) turbos.
Lotus kicked asssssssssssssssssssssss! As usual!
Just surprised how fast it passed the Porsches and Marcos'
