Porsche Just Massively Turned Up The Volume On Its 911 RSR
The mid-engined 911 RSR has been given a new exhaust system for Le Mans, and it sounds rather angry
With the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans looming, racing teams took to Circuit de la Sarthe last weekend for some intensive test sessions. Our biggest takeaway from the track time? Good lord does the 911 RSR sound angry.
People trackside reported it to be extremely loud, and as you’ll be able to hear in this video, it seems to drown out everything on track else as it belts out its angry flat-six soundtrack.
Porsche Motorsport boss Frank Walliser confirmed on Twitter that the (now mid-engined) RSR is indeed packing a new exhaust for the sake of improved reliability. He said that the sound change is merely a “positive additional outcome”.
Heading to Le Mans this year? We suggest you pack some ear plugs.

It can
Looks like the Corvette has some competition for the loudest car on the Circuit de la Sarthe
the porsche is way louder than the corvette, I couldn’t hear it everytime the porsche was behind them
According to the video, the Corvette is pretty much no competition for the Porsche in sounds.

If it’s this loud then I’m definitely gonna be awake for the whole 24 Hours. What a sound! 😍
Now all of the other manufacturers need equally psychotic systems, and they’d all deliver the sounds we yearn to hear out of lemans.
Akrapovic Intensifies
Just before the corvette comes into view you can here it for just a split second but as soon as the vette is in the picture all you here is boxer scream xD
Porsche tries to scream the competition into submission :D
Kinda sounds like this.
Which is DEFINETELY not a bad thing!
