The engine doesn't sound well because Porsche motors are in rear, and the camera is in front of the car.

Good ear. Yes the lipstick camera is mounted on the front bumper, but the microphone is in the cockpit. You are hearing what the driver hears including the sound of the gravel coming off the tires pelting the underside.

A few years later, the microphone was mounted three inches above the tail pipe and can be heard in several of the other videos posted of this car ("RUF CTR2sport Running with Ferrari 333SPS" and "RUF CTR2sport Rennsport Reunion II")

Jeff Zwart driving his 1990 Porsche C4 Pro Rally race car. This was amazing considering that in practice, he had a serious off into the trees, yet was able to rebuild his car in the hotel parking garage in time to qualify the next day!

that BOV sounds amazing. I wish my CBV had a similar sound.

love the sound the turbo makes... piyu piyu

[androoks]

Nice video. Shame that the car doesn't sound as fast as it is actually going and if you notice carefully, you can "feel" the turbo lag everytime it comes out of a tight bend. Don't know if that can be avoided by keeping in a lower gear to maintain higher revs when cornering.
