Is this how F1 will become louder?

Tomorrow, Mercedes AMG Petronas will be testing its "trumpet" solution to make this year's turbo V6 engines louder. Mercedes says that the new solution will bring the noise level between last year's V8 engines and the current turbo V6. But don't expect a miracle.

This Modified Mercedes A45 AMG Makes an Awesome Noise! [VIDEO]

This 360 Hp Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG equipped with performance exhausts makes an awesome noise. Sounds almost like a WRC race car!

The standard A45 AMG is powered by the most powerful series production 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbo engine in the world which produces 360 hp and 450 Nm of torque. Mercedes knows that the front wheels alone aren't able to handle 360 Hp, so the four banger sends power to all four wheels through Mercedes' 4MATIC system. The result is a car that reaches 100 Km/h in an impressive 4.6 seconds with a limited top speed of 250 Km/h (155 mph). More details on the dedicated micro site.
