Hey everyone,

I hope you all well?
I made a short video on the sound of the LC if you would like to hear that amazing V8 growl?

Hi Thomas

It sounds OK, what happened to the sound inside?

Considering its a 5L V8 the sound is mediocre, I wish it was like the C63 Merc, it should have at least a way of controlling the exhaust sound by way of a button/switch after all its a 80K+ car. I had a test drive of the LC500, its lovely car and I love the way it looks, but that sound just doesn't do that V8 justice, its a shame.

Sorry just my own opinion, I was all set to buy one but now I can't decide lol

Hi Kev, I 100% agree it is very quiet inside. I think it is more aimed at the SL 400/500 (whatever it is calling itself these days)
I think if they did a hardcore LC F similar to the SL63 amg or the BMW M8 then we would hear more of that V8 growl. 
I hope I made sense there? 😛
