Doubtful. It's being recorded off-screen, so we're missing most of the dynamic range of the image. No shadow detail, blown-out whites, etc. I'm sure the snow is somewhat obtrusive, but probably nowhere near as bad as it seems.
Back on topic, though, I'm very impressed with what I'm hearing in these videos so far. Can't wait to see/hear some direct-feed footage.

Any videos that you can hear the sound of the GT40 Mk.IV?

It's supposed to be a Ford V8 in the Gt by Citroen, the sounds are much nicer than previous GTs, the gear changes, the engine stutters over bumpy roads, in the Yellow Gallardo MOnza video, after the first spin, the car takes off from low rev, it sounds like satan for a second, wish he woulda held on..

the sound of the citroen by GT is very very ipressive, I would even say it is scary driving this car at night+ rain (the video provided by tekken90)

In the cramped cocpit with water spraying to your windshield, the headlights illuminating the mist and barely seeing the road you can bet your *** it's scary

When the Citroen enters the tunnel and reaches top speed,
its looks like a spaceship entering warp speed..
I didn't realize how long the straights were on SSR7 until watching that video....my god am I going to have some fun ripping out top speeds with some amazing cars in this game...especially if they sound great.

That but most of all how the crankshaft differs in the two engine designs.
In a Ferrari the crank is basically a 4 cylinder crank where two connecting rods sprout from each lobe.
In a Chevrolet smallblock the crank has a lobe for each individual connecting rod.
By using the doubled 4 cylinder crank the Ferrari V8 revs smoothly like a 4cyl would, by having an individual space for each connecting rod a Chevy sounds lumpy and uneven when each cylinder fires.

They're both even-firing engines. The difference with the cross-plane crank is that each bank of four cylinders is uneven firing, just like the 2009+ Yamaha R1. I.e. the order of firing, in terms of cylinder banks is, for example: L, R, L, R, R, L, R, L
This was actually perceived to be a drawback to the design, but most people love the resulting sound.
The flat plane has an ignition event following in the opposite bank every time (i.e. L, R, L, R, L, R, L, R), so does tend to sound like two synchronised / interlaced fours.
The intake sound of a flat-plane V8 is unique, and not really comparable to the ordinary straight four, and is only superficially tonally similar to the cross-plane V8.
As for smoothness, the cross-plane wins hands-down, whilst the flat plane has a tendency to vibrate (assuming both engines are using a fully counter-balanced crankshaft, which isn't a guarantee on old cross-plane V8s...). That's why Yamaha went with the cross-plane in their MotoGP bike, as per the video I linked above.
The effect is less severe with the flat-plane V8, owing to the V-angle, but is still noticeable as a vibration.
I notice the NASCAR cars sound as they did at GamesCom, and it's a shame that R8 vid is such a mess. Still, keep 'em coming!
