The other thing you have to consider is that it is a boxer engine, and they have their own characteristic sound. Think of the difference, and more over the resonance of a V6 vs a straight 6. The V always sounds raspy, where the straight sounds silky, The Ferrari Boxer engines, vs their V12's. The boxers always had an edge, or probably more up to date - the sound of a scoobydoo impreza/legacy vs an inline 4.

But yes, the sound of a Porsche, flat 6, air cooled, is still, nice.... not as nice as a big V8 though..
