Ferrari know that adopting turbochargers is controversial and many of the engineers will quietly admit that if it wasn’t for CO2 pressures they’d never go down the forced induction route.

Funny how when MP4-12C came with 3.8l V8 biturbo, all said how the 458 sounds better, and numbers don't matter etc, and now Ferrari...

If you have the money to buy either car, you have the money to buy exhausts for them. Such a silly debate. Now comparing something like the Huracan V10 is a different story.

A exhaust doesn't always help when the engine fundamental will sound a certain way.

Also not many people put exhaust on 300k cars. It's not a thing about money either.

No idea, haven't paid much attention to that engine. I do like my N54 sound, with no secondary cats.
