Enjoy.

Bit blocky, but wanted to keep the file size down.

KPKalle · Dec 1st, 2006, 12:48 PM

What happened to the sound track

Paul · Dec 1st, 2006, 03:41 PM

Didn't think you got enough car noise with the music on it.

Lordy · Dec 1st, 2006, 04:16 PM

i hope you where driving and had the misses on the bonnet holding the camera. great footage !!

Love it! After all the talk about how the R56 would be losing a lot of the great sounds the R53 offers, I was expecting the new MCS to sound like a VW GTI -- thankfully, though, it seems to have a pretty rorty exhaust note. Can't wait to hear the new engine myself, firsthand. In the meantime, thanks for the video, Paul!

No, I got my little boy to do that, put Velcro on the car and on his shoes. Worked a treat.

As for the soundtrack, outside it's fantastic. The exhaust is lovely, in my opinion much nicer than the slightly "trying too hard" an slightly asthmatic '05 onwards S. It's deeper, and the burbles and pops are great.

Personally I miss the supercharger whine, but some will see that as a bonus, but overall it's really nice. It's just more muted on the inside. I didn't appreciate just how much road rumble has been eliminated until I went back in an "old" S, and I could hardly talk with my boy, when it was fine in the new one!
