2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Turbo Still Sounds Good

I’ve never thought that the Porsche flat six was the best sounding sports car in history. I prefer the wail of a V12 Lambo or Ferrari. Still, the Porsche 911’s exhaust note has always sounded pretty darn good. Like many car fans, I worried when Porsche decided to go turbo with its 2017 Carrera that the exhaust note would be lacking.

If this video of a 2017 Carrera is any indication, the new 911 Carrera might sound even better than before. I am a sucker for some turbo whine after all, and the car still has that raspy sound that I remember from previous generation 911s.
