Ferrari 296 GT3 - Pure V6 Sound, Engine Warm Up, Fly bys at Hockenheim

[@SmallBlogV8]

LOL at the little jump scare when they blip the engine in the warmup.

[@p00pie]

i would have jumped like a little girl and ran 18 miles away

[@berwynrost66]

There's no accelerator input there. They are just downshifting the gears and the car's computers rev match for a smoother change.

[@g00dl00kinb0i]

Well they still have pretty good events happening today despite that cheap Ferrari engine downsize because others did so. I'm glad there's still Lexus, AMG Benz, Chevy & McLaren to bring the good racing vibes.

Sounds so quiet, & so weird. 😢 even Ford GT GTLM sounds louder. 488 GT3 is better in sound department (let alone 458 GT2, they was wayyyy above it)

[@Gentleman...Driver]

Those times are gone. It was good when we had it.

[@potatogirlcultist19]

The Ford GTLM was loud af. I remember at the WEC in 2017 it was the loudest thing, even louder than the good ol' Chevy and Porsches. My favorite sound was the TS050 though...

[@potatogirlcultist19]

@@Gentleman...Driver There is some good sounding GT cars at the Goodwood Revival. Never been in person, but you get stuff like the pre 2016 Ford GT, Jaguar's, Shelby Cobra's and even some old F1. Not sure if there is an equivalent in any other countries though.

1:50 those are up and down shifts, right? I was thinking what could provoke those subtle drops in revs followed by those minuscule throttle blips, and can only think of up and down shifts, respectively.

sounds like it. with wheels off it's hard to say but it does seem like that's the case

[@12th.jahlil]

It could also be the guy on the computer messing with the engine through settings, or testing the transmission as you said.

The sound reminds me of the Acura NSX

[@sprintermaximus]

Sounds a lot like the Honda. Not a bad sound, just not old school Ferrari. Car looks all right, not terrible, not great.

[@fahada1921]

I don’t think this car will come close to replacing the 488 glory.

[@tonyguilliams5849]

Ferrari needs to revive the gated manual and n/a v8’s. That’s the heart and soul of their brand. Porsche brought back the manual and other manufacturers continue to make v8’s. Build a driver’s car that is fun to drive. Doesn’t need to be the quickest 0-60 or 1/4 mile. Just build a purist’s car.

[@StreetComp]

Sounds great to me, not at all the high pitched Ferrari we are used to but low and guttural like an OHV engine

But it doesnt look like a typical Ferrari anymore and it sounds boring too. The 488 was at least looking really cool. This one is okay'ish from the Front and Side, when you dont think about how its not looking like a real Ferrari but 3 other Cars, but the Rear looks just wrong imo.

Yeah sadly it doesnt. The look and the Sound of a GT Car get worse and worse imo over the Years. And im not a fan of this lets put a Turbo in every Goddamn Race Car. Im a Fan of NA Engines with much Power, Torque and amazing Sound (AMG V8 or the V8 from the C7,C6 and so on, or the Bentley V8, those are my absolute Favorites). A V10 sound amazing aswell, the old V12 Aston or the good old V12/V10 F1 Time aswell. All amazing brutal Engines. But today every Car sound dead, boring and powerless and most of them are quiet. If you listen to those Cars (the new M4 GT3 or this Ferrari) alone its all fine, but if you have some Porsche, Mercedes or Lambo/ Audis nearby you dont hear those Cars at all. They are super quiet. Its Motorsport, it needs to be loud and brutal :D Btw i love the Nissan Skyline GTR R34, but well for GT3 Cars and its Sounds and Looks its a bit different.
