too bad there's no interior video that might let us pick up on the active sound symposer which it might have.
Love seeing the drifting around some of those corners. Its a great video. The short shots give a feeling of action and also anticipation of seeing the full video.

Thanks for posting this up.
My Body ....is ready

on another forum, somebody mentioned that the video showed "privacy glass".

I am not sure what that is. Also the intercooler is black/gray now rather than silver

Privacy glass means the rear windows are tinted so you can't see inside.
Yea I believe that is just window tinting. Nothing that fancy really.

What do you guys think of this powder blue color? It doesn't look as aggressive as I'd like. It's too "nice". That's my opinion.

I like it and think that someone creative enough can do something cool with white vinyl, or maybe pull something straight from Ford's history that would be relevant here... in white.

Wait what, they're not piping sound into the cabin are they???

Yup it's way too light in that video, but it does look like they used a brightening filter, or whatever it's called. Plus that colour changes a lot depending on whatever light is hitting it, so I don't think it's representative. I expect (and hope) the car to look darker most times.

I like the blue, reminds me of laguna seca blue for m3.

I rather they do pipe the sound than through the speakers
yes, yes they are.
is it at least authentic through the tube? I hate the new bimmers and their speaker sounds...

Im not 100% on that. I think it is pretty authentic but im sure its adjusted somewhat. I dont not believe they are pumping it through the speakers though.

It sounds really good in the videos that I have seen and I hope that they don't have fake engine noises (or augmented or whatever). I kinda would prefer to have the cabin be less noisy. The gurgle of the engine is for people outside the car.
anyone know when the RS is due to run up the hill? Theres a few live streams and I would love to catch it...
Might be hard to find when exactly that'll happen but one thing for sure is when it happens... there will be a lot of coverage!
While is isn't the greatest sounding thing out, it does have a distinctive sound that... when you hear it before even seeing it... you'll KNOW what's coming your way... good for car spotters ;)

what is the greatest sounding thing out there, enlighten us? And then enlighten us how the RS exhaust note has any objective measure against the sounds from a Mazda 787B or whatever your favourite sound clip is?
