DaveGordon:

How come?  Are they built to comply with a different (upcoming?) noise standard?

Aprox. every two years, the noise emissions regulations are adapted. Car manufacturers cannot offer individual solutions for individual markets, so they are usually going for one solution for all the markets.

Porsche and AMG have already announced a substantial decrease in exhaust sound levels, the other manufacturers will follow sooner or later. With the next model year, even Lamborghini seems to need to adapt. Smiley
