Well this was disappointing. Full throttle but almost no sound at all. At least compared to the previous generation.

That's pretty sad, even my V6 OPF/GPF model sounds great compared to this and is already a bit muted compared to before. At least it had the same character though:



It's probably because of even stricter noise regulations that are coming about 2024 I heard, every new car with an active valve exhaust is getting a lot quieter.

I was fortunate enough to have a go in a new R, I can say it’s definitely not this quiet, video audio must be off
It sounded great to me

The new 2L also has a revised exhaust system so sounds a bit more beefy than before

Compare the video with this:
If it’s the same, great. But I doubt it. This video has the loud exhaust I am used to hear.

Vika, there's no doubt about it. I am an AWD R owner and have watched thousands of F-Type R clips on YouTube and the new R is definitely dumbed down. WTF is that sound after 4 seconds on the new R?! It's a sound which I've never heard before on any of the current F-Type R's when accelerating. There's no doubt about it; noise/pollution regulations have really softened the sound.
