They took the high revving sound I loved and just murdered it. 12000 RPM just ain't enough, GODDAMMIT!

I'll keep my judgement about the noise until I hear one in real life.

Heard it in this vid. It sounds cool, but knowing the cars it will be in makes me sad.

Pretty sure redline is 15,000 RPM. Also I think they sound quite good.

They do sound good, but just, for me, an F1 car should scream at the top of its 18000 RPM lungs.

Can't argue with that.

Even that's limited; they'd be hitting 22+ if they weren't I should think

The aviation industry dabbled with turbo-compound engines, like 60 years ago. They soon decided trying to shove a reciprocating engine into an perfectly good gas turbine was dumb.
