900hp Ferrari Hybrid Sounds Just Like You Want It To

When the 900 hp “LaFerrari” Ferrari Hybrid first broke cover back in March, everyone who could read a spec. sheet knew that the car would be a monster. One thing automotive enthusiasts didn’t know, however, was what the LaFerrari would sound like – which is a pretty big deal for Ferrari’s fans and corporate culture! Would the new LaFerrari make the same kind of V12 that made the classic Daytona, 512 BB, and Testarossa into legends? Would the new Ferrari hybrid have the same high-pitched wail of the iconic Ferrari F40?

Would the new Ferrari Hybrid – horror of horrors! – sound like a Prius?

Wonder no more, Ferrari fans. Plug your headphones in, turn up the volume, and listen to the decidedly LeMans-ready wail of Ferrari’s latest: the 900+ hp LaFerrari!

Enjoy!

I’m sorry, but I personally think the idea of a vehicle making any kind of noise at all (outside of unavoidable air and road hiss) is a travesty. City noise levels are already way to high, and I believe that street vehicles should be kept to very strict standards. We now have the technology to make cars and bikes remarkably quiet. So what do we do? We introduce artificial sound to them! Crazy.

Even on good days I get quite annoyed by all the motorbike and large truck noise where I live, but this week has been the worst. There was a large annual 2-day Obon festival in my neighborhood, with fireworks and unbelievable crowds, and afterwards for the last two nights the bōsōzoku bike gangs were running up and down the streets making an ungodly amount of noise. It was annoying enough to make me almost want to find someone responsible and commit unspeakable violence against them (;~)

Back in the middle of the previous century I had a 45 with “Sounds of a Corvette”.

Hung my speakers out the dorm window, cranked up the dial to 11, bounced it off the two story brick wall of the auditorium, and had the local police scrambling to find the speeder who was terrorizing the campus.

Could fit up a sound track like that to a LEAF if noise is what it is all about….
