Is it correct to say that form follows function as it relates to sound?
A high revving flat crank engine has a unique sound, as does the low rumble of a corvette v-8. The Audi diesel is unique as well - and I wanted to see and hear it in person. I just hope that they don't try to regulate sound out of the sport. Like any sport, television never does justice when it comes to sound. Watch Tiger Woods hit a gold ball in person and it certainly sounds different that on TV. Same for me in motor sports. At a F1 race, not only was I amazed by the high rev v-10, I could hear the sputtering of traction control - something I didn't notice on TV. Sound is an important part of motor sports. I dare say the unique sound of a Harley Davidson bike is one of it's major marketing attributes.
