That thing sounds so sweet at the end. After watching this I was horribly let down when we finally heard the real deal. Thankfully the engines are starting to wake up a little now, but still don't sound fantastic.

Due to the noise - it is just so different to a current F1 engine, but does still sound like a V6 - I wonder if this engine was far enough away from an F1 engine that they could get away with it? Ie no fuel flow limit, no rev limit, different waste gate and blow off valve set up. Maybe Honda should do that to at least prove the base engine and get that side of things bullet proof, then tackle the rest of the equation.
