The Engine Dilemma

Reference #1: The Tubos of old

Reference #2: The Powerful as heck V12s

Reference #3: The solid V10s

Aaaand then there's the new V6 Turbos:





Overall it seems like what the new V6 lack is a serious impression. When you hear the sweet hum/roar of a Ferrari road car, you recognize it and immediately appreciate it. The new V6 Turbos don't have the same stopping power the old engines did, it draws from the spectacle. They are okay in the straights but really don't sound great under braking or accelerating. Oh well, hopefully they at least saved teams like Toro Rosso or Marussia that are crucial to the sport. (sarcasm)
