I think the 991 and 981 cars, or maybe just the S versions or the versions with sport exhaust or sport plus mode or something like that have started doing it again. Many folks like it and miss it.
Again: I think you're misunderstanding me. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the burbles next to the farts. I LIKE the burbling on over-run; yes, I know that most high-performance Porsches have them. I like it when my Cayman S does it, and I liked it when my 951 did it. What I meant (and perhaps didn't communicate well enough) is that the engine note on the 718 ITSELF sounds somewhat farty. At least it does in that video; maybe it will be much better in person (I hope?).
