Lively might be an understatement.<\/p>\n<p>Should sound fairly life-affirming too, because there are electronically controlled exhaust flaps that allow you to switch between all-out V12 wail and a \u201cdecidedly subtle\u201d noise when closed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"HtmlContent\" class=\"MarkUpWrapper-sc-t20i90-0 hQwWlJ\">\n<p>Thankfully the SP3\u2019s already dramatic styling has been left well alone, save for a new set of forged wheels from Vossen.
