I was at parabolica at the Monza GP today, sitting right next to the entry to pit lane.

The C63 Estate medical car sounded amazing down changing from full speed as it entered the pits.

Does anyone know if this is a standard car, or do they modify them for F1 work?

The old Ferrari 348 next to it at the start made me smile!

I was under the impression that they modified them but I can't remember where I read about it, I'm pretty sure it was Car/Evo/Autocar etc. Quite a few people say they sound better than the SLS.

Yes I swear I remember seeing that same car somewhere in the Senna movie! I had a chuckle when I spotted it too - must have had a hard 20 years on the track.

Saw the same car going full speed up Eau Rouge at Spa two weekends ago and it does sound good! Sounds the same as my C63 and others I have heard. smile
