    Best video for engine sound so far


    I think that the two characters need to improve their marketing skills a bit more, still the film footage was what we are all dreaming about.

    Jet blue looks a bit dull in the video footage but in pictures it looks more attractive...Do you guys think the same way...

    Nice video ... although as L3MAN says, they need to work on their marketing skills a little ... well, maybe a lot!

    Some nice sounds from the engine bay and exhausts too
    Gone but not forgotten ...
    VW Golf V6 4motion (does just what it says on the tin)
    Vauxhall Lotus Carlton (a beast of a motorway cruiser)
    Honda NSX, manual JDM (a beauty to drive anywhere)
    Audi RS4, B7 saloon (awesome on any road - or track)

    The first part of the video where the PM.com guy is talking about the "LED" headlights if funny since...that car doesn't have them! (just the LED DRL strip) So the lamp module in the R8 seems to only contain the bi-xenon, turn signal and DRL LEDs. I guess you flash-to-pass with the xenons then?
