Look likes a fusion, the front wear of a formula one car, Indy car and Le Mans DP car, and sound sometimes like a American le mans DP but, in other moments like a indy car.
That's what shift-without-lift sounds like with a turbo. A little raw fuel gets to the turbo and 'pop'...and as noted there are no downshifts and no lifting on this particular part of the track. This is all flat-out and upshifts, going from the oval T2 area through the road-course T13, which is T1 of the oval done the other way. Flat-out all the way to road-course T1 (just short of oval T4).
@agurobe6 I think it's even a bit sweeter than the F1 cars were in the turbo era. My guess is the Chevy and Judd engines will be a little flatter in sound due to being twin turbo.
@MikaOwns Nope, it will be faster. They are just shaking it out right now. It will be able to corner much quicker than the old car. Plus, the current car and engine can go faster than they allow them to. They have so much downforce chocked into them plus the engines are detuned to keep them from hitting the speeds that they could.
@captainjosue Sorry, but not even close. This is obviously a turbo, and obviously a V6. It sounds a bit like a LMP2 car but doesn't sound a think like the current V8.
The exhaust note is far better, but the car needs to be given a few more revs. It'll be interesting to hear if the Chevy or Lotus-Judd sounds any different.
It sounds like a lower-displacement, higher-revving version of the Honda LMP2 motor to me. A much, much sweeter note than I was expecting. It's actually a lot nicer-sounding than the twin-turbo engines from the F1 turbo era. I would expect the twin-turbo Chevy/Illmor and Lotus/Judd. For those, reference videos here of the 1988 McLaren.
Yer insane ... Sounds way better than the current EARL N/A sled. Although It doesn't sound anywhere near as sweet as the CART era cars, those things were like music. Still, this is an improvement. I do quite like the banging between shifts.
SPOILER ALERT!!!
Its a boxy F1 car

@wellslange It's on the Indy Road Course track to test that part of it's design. They race the Oval the other, normal, way.

Folks, I hate to be a downer but I think that this new IndyCar is using 2011 engines. Why? The sound is the same as what is being used currently.

Much better sound! It kinda reminds me of the old F1 turbo sound of the 80's.
