THAT'S What I'm Talkin' About!!! (Porsche RSR Video)

The engine note, I mean.  "Turbo?  Turbo!?!  We don't need no steenkin' turbo..."  

A flat six Typ 901 racing engine should have a sharp, raspy growl, like this one.  It's sad to hear blatty-sounding ones at club events.  Cooling fan whistle on over-run is standard at no extra cost.  ;-)  The exhaust system in the video is not original: I guess they have noise-abatement racing in Europe now, too.

The iconic RSR in the States was Brumos Porsche's, which won Daytona outright in 1973 with Peter Gregg/ Hurley Haywood.

Switzerland. Recent (hi-def), don't know HOW recent. Appears to be an amateur "club" event.
