Great line in the NYT review of the new McLaren Posted by RS [Email] (#15) [Profile/Gallery] (more from RS) on Tue, 17 Sep 2013 20:25:30 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
And it's nice to see a reference to the 9KT.
"Turbochargers make wonderful noises. A turbocharger is a lot like a miniature jet engine, but most car companies seem to think that drivers don’t want to hear the LaGuardia taxiway as they’re merging onto the highway.
That’s a shame. I used to have a Saab 9000 Turbo with a low-restriction air intake, and its dominant aural signature was the Lilliputian Top Gun dogfight that erupted beneath the hood every time the turbocharger spooled up. Unfortunately, modern cars don’t much let you hear their turbos at work.
Well, except for one: McLaren 12C, you’re first in line, cleared for takeoff. "
