No doubt about that....there really isn't quite anything out there that makes the noise the S85 does....but its not like you won't be seeing or hearing them.

Agreed on your main points about driving between 50-70mph at most times, but the V10 was a beast...and the sound of this new V8 TT will not even come close to the S85's scream. However, the V8 TT will be a beast no doubt, and this is just part of evolution and everyone needs to chill out.
