    Sound is such a large part of a cars personality…especially important in the realm of supercars…look at porches gt3’s resale value compared to the turbos. Seldomly do v6’s sound good…

    I mean…would you pay that much money for a v6??

      the thing about Ferrari is they are a sports team that makes money from the merchandise store that sells branded goods, and it just turns out their merchandise store happens to sell Ferrari branded cars. But because of the motorsport connection I think there will always be pressure to make the cars somewhat connected to the motorsports side, and since they are using v6s in motorsports right now, you end up with the hypercar using a v6 as well. Of course I suspect in the future Ferrari will release a parts bin special where they take the hypercar chassis, give it some vintage inspired bodywork and put in a regular v12, and then charge $$$ for it.

      People who buy actually Ferarri and not just fantasize about it would still pay that much for a Ferrari. V6 Ferrari is still better than no Ferrari.

      Not that I’m in the market for one, but if I’m wanting huge amounts of torque with shit sound, surely I’d buy electric.

      Funnily the V6 296 sounds louder and more ferocious than the V8 sf90 and f8. So pick your poison
