“Everybody wants noisy cars. And since we listen to our fans, we want to give them noisy cars. I was born and raised with the noise of engines”, Stefano Domenicali declared a few weeks ago, to the delight of all fans.

“Light cars, better sounds”

And Ben Sulayem also increased the dose: “I’ve already talked about it with Domenicali, but also with my team. The goal is clear: to make the cars lighter and give the engines a better sound. I come from the world of rallying and I know how much these changes are important, and in particular I hated driving too heavy cars,” he said.
