The most interesting thing from my point of view is that they have gone away from the paddle shift in the Sandman. From memory, they added it because the gearshift couldn't be made to fit with the passengers seat...
But yeah, sounds alright. |

That's odd, considering the Sandman is just a CotF chassis, which was desgined from the outset to carry a passenger.

In other news, here's what it will most likely sound like from the outside. |

One of the advantages GT3 has over supercars is the different sounds.
This will add another sound to supercars Its not a bad sound, but IMO not as good as a v8 turbo |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z19v2W2H77I Hearing those two M Sport Bentleys at B12 is a treat especially when they were in close formation. Shame we don't have one running domestically. The V6 doesn't sound bad at all especially at higher revs. When it comes to turbo engines and noise, its hit and miss. |

No it does not!
Merc: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFmpLAliiuA Ovlov: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aQKdLZKmWQ?t=1m24s The Merc has a cool quasi-F1 sound while the Volvo has a cool sportbike type sound. |

0_o Really?
The Volvo sounds Brabham-esque. I really don't know how that isn't the coolest noise an engine can make. The Merc sounded like a tractor on the pit limiter, but on throttle was like a demon trying to escape from the depths of hell. Not quite as good as the SLS GT3 version though. |

If you want to hear more, you can look up the ATS-V.R which runs the same race version of the LF3 V6.
I think it sounds like every other V6, which is to say trash... sorry guys. |
