    I would have advised him to keep the F50.

    The F40 is an icon, that's understandable, but if you have a nice F50 keep it, IMO.

    We have just sold and closed on a USA F50 with 2k miles for @ $3,600,000, anyone know of an advance on that number for an F50?

    Noise reduction, currently a Swiss car, Swiss laws and Swiss homologation requirement.

    I the first thing I noticed when I saw the image because my eyes, like yours, are trained to look for the unusual.

    Very interesting, is this a recent requirement?

    No. Since the F50 came out.
    This is the ex Vettel F50, that was sold new to Scandinavia, where it was in two different countries before it went to Vettel (in Switzerland) not too long ago.

    Thank you Marcel, never knew of such a thing and can't work out how it would achieve anything, as the noise just comes out the open mesh grill and is drowned by the exhaust note.

    Here is factory standard for reference, if anyone is interested

    See post 2895.
    This particular F50 did not go new to Switzerland. It went new to Scandinavia (not the same place as Switzerland........).
    Only a few years ago, once Vettel bought it, it came into Switzerland and therefore had to be adapted/converted to Swiss homologation laws.
