Which LC500 v8 model years are quieter due to emission?
I'm interested in buying a used Lexus LC500 v8 and noticed on some online YouTube videos that some of the newer model years seem a little quieter, possibly the 2020 year onwards (?)
However videos from USA variants all seem louder, even the newest 2022-23 models. So maybe the USA do not have the same emissions restrictions as the UK/Europe, is that right?
I'm not looking for an outrageously loud car, I just want to be able to hear that sweet v8.
p.s. I know its very difficult to judge car sound from an online video, different microphones/setups, speakers etc...
