I think the driver blew the guarantee on his engine : this is not 'running in' .. :roll:

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.

VE plate = press car
Does not appear on Jag system.
Like the VA and VE test cars around the ring.

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.

Seems like Rory liked it and it received a good review on Car wow. I must admit that the looks are growing on me as well !
I always wondered why MY car doesn't sound as what I expected and now I see in order to really get the "FT Note", it needs to be revved past 4000rpm.
Around 1000-2000 rpm with the valves closed, it really sounds no louder than any other sedan (unless the exhaust valves are open)
Contrast that to some Maseratis and Porsche's I have heard but then again I don't know if the Exhaust valves are open.

I've never used the snow mode in my F--Type and only ever once in my previous XKR. It softened the throttle pedal so much I couldn't work out how far to press it to make the car go and ended up overcooking it (fortunately in an empty, snow covered car park). I much prefer knowing how the throttle behaves "all the time" so I can make the necessary adjustments. That said, I certainly wouldn't risk my F-Type in snowy or icy conditions.
Reading the review from Carthrottle - "The noise from the V8, though, is something I’m completely on board with. The pipework doesn’t change between this and the P450, but the software does, resulting in more pops, bangs and general silliness in the R. But importantly, it’s not excessive and borderline antisocial like it used to be. It’s still rich and fruity, but more grown-up."
They killed the beast.

Caranddriver - "We can say, however, that the V-8's retuned exhaust is much more aurally subdued. On overrun, the outgoing V-8 cars always sounded like someone tossed a string of firecrackers into a drainage culvert—fun till the cops show up. There's still a snarl when you back off the throttle, but you no longer expect the exhaust to leave a trail of lightly smoldering shrubs in your wake."
There you have it, coffin sealed.
