Why Valkyrie at low RPM sound so bad and quiet?
Does engine even work or what produce that sound?



I cant understand why they didnt make sound like Zonda, Carrera GT etc for such a supercar?
It's probably the worst sounding supercar currently on the market. It has that constant gear whine that ruins the experience, and the V12 itself isn't tuned for particularly good notes either.

I cant believe what they do with sound. How people dont complain?!
Can believe how Newey allow Aston to make such a bad sound, because he is fan of NA engines, specially V10 high revs, as it told in interview.

When focus of target objectives loses sight of how owners will use these cars. Aston not alone there *cough Project One cough*

Owners groups meet in London but yet to see a private one being driven in anger around a track. Most the footage I see is from Aston Martin themselves. Though it's my understanding that there is one brave owner that might be tempted to run the 'Ring according to Misha Charoudin...depending on the size of the fee he gets for it(and expressly against AM's advice to run at the ring with a Valkyrie).

From hypercar to hypothetical car as nobody wants to use it for what it was made for. Can't blame em at 4 million dollars. But somebody should've stepped in and said this needs to sound better pootling around Monaco, it's natural environment.

The gear whine on that thing is horrendous. My god. It’s actually louder than the engine in this clip, and that would get really tiring. #-o
