I dont remember them revving to 14,000rpm
That sound is nostalgic now, but might look funny watching from an onboard of a modern f1 car. i think the new v6s could sound quite different due to technological improvements in thinks like exhausts and turbocharging, plus things like direct injection, and jsut the general engine construction and layout. what Vee angle and firing angle will they use? they will be 25 years more technologically advanced engines then those 80s turbos.
