Honda's engine sound released. Weak. Oh, well, sounds better than Renault's.

Why did they have to go and ruin things and go to V6's. Bring back the V10s or V12's

It's already been too long.

I don't remember if the winning Honda twin-turbo 1.5L-V6, back in the 1983 to 1988 era, also sounded the same.

turbo engines always sound worse than n/a. The only good thing for spectators is that the show won't be nearly as loud. Gimme earplugs and n/a any day.

I'm the exception here, I prefer the sound of a decent turbo F1 motor to a NA. The 100K+ RPM turbine whine and overrun wastegate pop sound great.

I'm hoping the design of the exhaust will make it sound better... but i love the wastegate sound too, but i want the high wail like chief said also. Give me both!!!

I thought you had an engineering degree. Even if you didn't major in mechanical engineering, you should have taken basic courses such as intro to thermodynamics.
