Video: Side-by-side comparison Engine Sound - Lexus 2L Turbo vs 2.5L V6
In response to some inquiries on the sound of the 2L Turbo four (8AR-FTS) that will sit in the upcoming IS200t, here's a good idea from the NX and comparison to the current 2.5L V6 (4GR-FSE).
Note: the IS has a Takeda intake and Magnaflow exhaust while the NX is stock, but those aftermarket parts simply enhance the underlying sound.

I like the sound of the 8AR-FTS even though the engine/intake note is artificial (actually any turbo DI 4cyl as turbo's generally add a unique growl to the exhaust instead of that buzzing/bee-like sound that I think most are accustomed to with 4cyl engines)

@lexi90. Thanks. I too prefer the sound of the V6 any day. Much more engaging.
@Loe. What do you mean the Turbo 4's sound is artificial? If you're referring to ASC in the NX (Active Sound Control), I don't have it (Canadian model) so what you hear is engine/turbo non-enhanced by any means.
