The sound is just AWESOME, the guy stepped on it very hard as it took the on-ramp from a restop near Stuttgart. Lucky him... The same car passed me, just minutes ago between Ulm and Munich. No way, of following it...

Nice pic! Did he let you take it or was it done surreptitiously?

Did it sound like this?: http://carfreaks.net/video/cf-m6-e63...leife-xvid.avi

Hmmm... I don't know, really... I was preparing to leave the restop, when I saw it parked on the left, so I stopped the car trying to get some shots and maybe speak with the owner. Not luckily enough, he was inside already, preparing to leave, so all I could do is get out of the car, take the camera in my hand, tried to show the driver that I want to take a pix of his car but he was not looking at me... So I just pointed the camera and shot it... I guess he was happy, and let me hear the sound. I hope...

Pretty much but you need to feel it, it cannot be described. Nothing like any car I heard...

I assumed he was happy, because he has shown off a bit... But he could have been upset as well... Well, it's a public space afterall... Not nice, but certainly not illegal... And it was well worthed...

Test drivers are NEVER happy when somebody takes a pic of them in a new car!
Even though the car was allready shown at different auto shows it's still not out, so it's still top secret...

they are not happy because they are the test drivers "only", not the owners .
