Count me in there as well. It sounds like the car with the GPF just can't get it's breath, how can they do this to such an incredible sound. We know 2021's are free of it, but any word on 2022 models?
2021 EVO rev in park/neutral
We have 2 2021 EVO RWD and 1 2020 EVO AWD. Both 2021's will only hit about 4000rpm in park/neutral. The 2020 will rev as normal. My dealer has no idea, and the tech said he guesses Lamborghini changed it for 2021 to protect the engine.
Does anyone have experience/information about this?

Ain't that the truth! The sound emanating from these 10 and 12 cylinder masterpieces is what sets Lamborghini apart from other marque brands. Ergo, best not to tamper with a winning formula.If the STO has the GPF...Im out ! One of the major reasons I prefer Lambos is for the sound
This is the end of the line for me. Next gen will be either turbo or heavier hybrids with unnatural torque fill. Either way GPF and increasing noise limits means it's impossible next gen could improve the drama and driving emotionIf it has GPF and can't be defeated and sounds like ass, I don't want the newest and I'm sure there are more like me.
If all future models will sound notably worse it will inevitably spark more interested in 2010-2020 era Lamborghinis which could lead to prices of used cars holding their used value steadily. I'm sure all the new hybridized supercars with 1000+ hp will have amazing technology and be insanely fast but since they most likely will lack sound & emotion. True car lovers will remember the 2010-2020 era as the last of it's kind. Although I'm curious what Lamborghini's approach will be since they mentioned something with "unique sound created by wind flow around the car" instead of solely the engine around the Terzo Millenio concept release.
See this happening already with Ferrari. Low mileage decent spec 458's holding steady while used 488's depreciating and F8's likely to follow same trajectory. At some point used 458's and 488's may reach a convergence point in the not too distant future. Exotic owners are picky and many value sound/emotion/theater even though older over faster/more powerful/more GT insulated driving/turbo/worse sound although newer.If all future models will sound notably worse it will inevitably spark more interested in 2010-2020 era Lamborghinis which could lead to prices of used cars holding their used value steadily.

Well, I stopped with that already a couple of years ago. Newer is not always better. Saves a lot of money as well.... and who doesn't want the newest car ??
Absolutely, and especially in the case of the EVO it may be time to take a breather, no pun intended.Well, I stopped with that already a couple of years ago. Newer is not always better. Saves a lot of money as well.
Same when I bought my 580-2 lightly used with 1000 miles 2 years ago. 80K off MSRP nothing to sneeze at. Another year or 2 to find a lightly used EVO RWD with no GPF.Well, I stopped with that already a couple of years ago. Newer is not always better. Saves a lot of money as well.
Has anyone tried switching to corsa and turning off TCS/Stability control to see if there is still soft limiter in P/N? I know this was work-around in some other cars with soft limiters in stationary
Hopefully there will be a work-around or some software mod maybe that can rectify this.
Stationary revving off the limiter is not something I'm dead set on doing, but you need it as a tool in the box for certain situations... seems a shame to have removed it..

Sound is what made me switch from Ferrari to the Lambo Evo - If they go ahead with mandatory GPF in future model, I guess I'll also hold on to this baby. Engine sound makes all the difference! Wonder how the Middle East gets treated - people revv their Honda Civic here with no shame.Absolutely, and especially in the case of the EVO it may be time to take a breather, no pun intended.
The cars in the Video (european MY20 and MY21) don't have a soft-limter in P/N.Hopefully there will be a work-around or some software mod maybe that can rectify this.

I (red car) just didn't want to rev that much with a cold engine whilst mr. orange car didn't care that much :-D
Ah ha! right! So there' still hope that my car will be a free revving - non GPF future classic then!
Incidentally is the other one Borealis?

Your car seemed to be more crisp and a slightly better tone than the other even at a lower rpm. Maybe you were closer to the mic?The cars in the Video (european MY20 and MY21) don't have a soft-limter in P/N.

They actually sound the same if you stand next to them ... just the cold start is a bit more quiet due to closed flaps (i could see on the mic sensor in the camera that it was a few decibels less) and it rattles a bit because of the high pressure on the closed valves.
The mic / cam was the same distance to both cars.

With the current political trends it appears the GPF is unstoppable...........so welcome to the land of you have no choice except, possibly, keeping your non-GPF variant.
Anyone find a solution for this? I just got a 2021 EVO. Don’t have the GPF, and it sounds good while driving below 4,000 RPM. But the main problem as stated in this thread is that I can’t rev it above 3,500 RPM in Park or Neutral while stationary. When rolling in neutral, I can rev to 8500 redline. But not stationary.
