Few cars sound better than an F-type at full chat
Whoever tuned the F-type's exhausts deserves a medal. Even the base V6 models sound like an angry hornet snorting supercharged narcotics - and the V8 S range-topper bellows like an American muscle car. The gruff acoustics are intrinsic to the appeal of the F-type.
Such great aural pleasure is mostly down to the switchable exhaust. Flaps in the pipes open up at around 3000rpm to let the exhaust gases rip straight through - hell hath no fury when it's released to bypass the silencer... The F-type pops and cackles, booms and crescendoes like something born in Maranello, not Coventry.
