Love love love how realistic you put the exercise together. Always issues to be sorted out if you start up after an extended time. These things are legendry. The best toughest and most reliable brand in the universe. So proud to be also Porsche owner. Life is too short to waste time in anything else..
The Dakar 959 should have been profiled here. As well as the 917. The 956 gave birth to the 962 because of a rule change. I've been a big Porsche fan since riding in my uncles 60's 911 SC targa in California as a young teen. I used to have a 76' 914/4 2.0 and I absolutely loved it. Thank you.
Awesome job to Porsche museum team / crew, great to see old man Stuck still pushing hard i really thought he would try the GT1 and 919 hybrid to compare with his manual gearbox & ground-effect race-car.. BTW.. I'm really surprised so few likes on this special documentary clip as part of Porsche racing history.. ;0)
I found it to be hackneyed. @ “The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel...” We are off to a rough start when tachometer and speedometer are confused.
I guess in German what they call a Speedometer is what we call the tachometer because I had to look at the 550s instrument cluster to see the tachometer in the middle; not the speedometer. For us; the speedometer is what measures the speed and the tachometer measures revolutions. A wonderful documentary
What a great driver Lars Kern is. Not only a Porsche test driver but also a GT specialist. He rencently won the 12 hours of Sebring in GTD Class and the second race of the VLN championship. Impressive !!
What an amazing video! I've been in love with the Porsche brand name for years since a little kid, can't say I like all the Porsches made but most of them. Now I've owned my Porsche for the last 5 years and love everytime I take the car out for a round of "Spirited Driving" around the city 👍
An outstanding video! Great content with brilliant narration, camera work and attention to detail truly make for a top end video. A pleasure to watch, great work:).
Me too and I gotta ride in Otis Chandler's at Ontario motor speedway late 70's. PCA and POC baby. Loved Donahue and Penske in 68-68 oh man great times.
I started racing in the 1970s with Scott Goodyear on the same event weekends. He went on to drive the mighty Porsche GT-1 to a podium finish overall at LeMans in 1996... Good times!
Outstanding documentary on these fabulous Porsche racing cars! Agree with so many others that the wonderful exhaust and mechanical sounds should be emphasized and the music toned way down. No need for dramatic music when screaming engines from the past are the symphony. Also noted a number of technical errors in the narration. Overall, double thumbs up 👍👍!
Loved the video, thank you for sharing. I did have a laugh after JoachimStuck brought up reliability and the 953 broke down and the 917 couldn't start. I understand that starting up such specialized cars of this vintage will always have their hiccups, but it was great coming from Joachim of all people. He is a legend, as are the cars.
The Porsche Museum is awesome. If you have time when you're in Stuttgart, you should also check out the museum of the other car company across town. I basically covers the history of what is most likely the oldest car company. Porsche's museum has a mind numbing array of race cars! 😁👍
@@jehl1963 Agreed. BMW,PORSCHE,MERC.. all have great museums. If you can call before going to make sure that there's no construction hindering the exhibits.
My filming mentor sent me this video last Sunday on email to see various angles and other stuff on what to do with cameras while filming! He knows I’m a Motorsports fanatic, so he sent me this video. I’m finally watching it now!
Yep, that immediately killed it. Just cant help thinking about how many weak links it takes to make a mistake that obvious and then to have no one at your production studio catch it before you publish. Pretty bad...
@@ZKozak-hp5vb I don’t own a single car that has the speedo in the center of the dash- 4 911 Turbos all tachs in the center. Ferrari F12, F8, and 488 tach center- varies on the SF90 depending on mode. McLaren 720S and 765LT just have little digital speedo. YOU MISSED MY POINT ENTIRELY. When the host doesn’t know the difference, then we have a problem…
@@ZKozak-hp5vb Are you dense? Sir, pause the video at 4:48. The VO says, “The Speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel- as it should be in a proper sports car.” That’s not the speedometer being shown. The tachometer is in the middle as it should be. The voice over is wrong and make one question the rest of the copy/VO. Be Well.
Love all the old Porsches but wow the power unit on the 919 Tribute! Such a masterpiece of engineering I’d love to get closer look as never seen a single turbo V4 hybrid, I guess the whole thing is packaged so tightly for aero, looks crazy
The gt1, F1, and clk gtr are the just coolest generation of sports cars ever. And even though I'm not a particular Porsche fan, all of these cars are real legends (though, with 2/5 breaking down, the 'legendary Porsche reliability' is looking a bit suspect)
@ “The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel...” We are off to a rough start when tachometer and speedometer are confused. THAT’S SUCH A TRAIT OF PORSCHE, YET THEY MANAGE TO GET IT WRONG IN SPEECH AND SPIRIT!!! There are a boatload of mistakes in this...
I adore that you think that is all that was wrong with this abortion. @ “The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel...” We are off to a rough start when tachometer and speedometer are confused. 😣
best video by Welt Documentary by far!!! really want a fleet of PORSCHE all terrain rally cars based on the present generation PORSCHE 911 Turbo S (993) WRC 4WD + 1.0 in. Lift 3.4 t-Turbo B6 2-Dr Rally Coupe (RHD)!!!
4:43 - Your voice-over track is very good but needs review before recording. At this point the description mentions the "Speedometer" being center in the dash. This is, in English, is a Tachometer. The Speedometer measuring KPH and to the left of the center tach. With simple and glaring oversights in a close-up such as this, there is some mistrust of other information later on. But thank you for the fine photos of your Porsche Museum cars. For your next release, knowing details of the specific cars--one may have been reserved because it was a LeMans or Spa 24h winner, for example--would be interesting.
exactly, concerning the 'speedo', they should have chosen a European narrator too, the cheesy American guys sound somehow 'inauthentic' for such a European marque. And yes where is the early 917, that's a terrible omission!
@@thebones As an American I wholeheartedly agree with you. This narrator is awful ! And as I noted above, he seems to have very little of cars in general.
Yes, I posted, @ “The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel...” We are off to a rough start when tachometer and speedometer are confused. 😣 The mistakes were so plentiful, that I had to turn it off at a point. I manage a collection of 75 important Porsche, Ferrari, McLaren, early Corvette, and historic race cars. If the information isn’t 100% correct, it is useless. We have a room of reference-level cars that photographers and experts from all over the world come to view. If I made a mistake like that, they would never listen to me again in the future. When speaking about these things, you must be 100% all of the time.
The 917 did not use a V12 engine. It was a horizontally opposed flat 12 cylinder. As for the 917-10, that was made for the Can Am series and later the Interserie European championship. It was NOT designed for the World Sportscar Championship. That was for endurance races.
@@ethanallan1254 Yeah. Sure. But that's a French brand , and this is mostly a German Channel , that's why I only included mainstream German Automakers. Let's see if they do make an Hour long video on other brands.
Hans-Joachim Stuck @11:44: "There is what has distinguished Porsche to this day... reliability." 917 Spyder (Fails to Start) & 911 4x4 (Fails Mid-Track): HOLD MY GERMAN LAGER!
On the 550 the TACH is in the center of the instrument panel-not the speedo. Just like the majority of Porsches. Been a Porsche owner driver since 1974-47 years. And I’m now 66.
Great documentary That Porsche 911 GT1 is one of the most beautiful racing car ever, but very very disappointed not to see the 917k. On the other hand, I never understood why Porsche was not present in F1. This is is nonsense

At 12:30 it is said it's a V12 engine ... Wasn't it a FLAT 12 , a 180 deg 12 , with 6 cylinders on each side ?? Wasn't it basically two flat 6-cylinder Porsche engines fused into one 12 -cylinder engine ???
@@johndemetry4904 No it was not. The 911 engine is a true boxer engine with one crankpin for each cylinder. In the 917’s engine two opposed cylinders share one crankpin. Like in a V engine that happens to have 180 degrees Bank angle.
@@peterkissinger9696 This point is widely misunderstood. Possibly because the first (proof of concept) 917 engine was in fact two boxer engines siamesed together.
A really interesting doco about a fascinating group of cars. Well done! But you can always tell when they hire a narrator has no idea of what he is talking about. At 4:44 he says the 550 weighed 149 kg…. He then follows that by saying the speedometer is in the center of the instrument panel while the video clearly shows that it is the tachometer
i bet the solder in the ecu contact was the faliure of the dakar 911. when he hit the curbs the ecu rattled and a some bad+ old solder broke in the connector area on the pcb.
4:47 "The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument cluster, as it should be in a proper sports car." Every Porsche I have ever driven - a whopping 3 - had the tach in the center - because it is most important instrument on the track. On the street - once you've broken the speed limit - speed only determines whether you are going to jail or getting a ticket... as determined by a radar gun or the speedometer in Officer Bob's cruiser. It appears that Porsche moved the tach to the center in the 1960s. Although in a 356, it moved from year to year. By the way - Screw you officer Bob! I became a drug addict, anyway.
The announcer says that the 550 Spyder has the speedo in the center, however if you look at the video when they show the center gauge it is in fact actually a tachometer as it should be.
Wow, I'm surprised they did not edit the narrator saying " The 917 has a V12 engine" whaaat! It's A flat 12 or Boxer as anyone that knew anything about Porsche's would know that much...
There’s a whole lot that should have been edited from this video. I don’t know about you, but when I heard @ “The speedometer is located in the center of the instrument panel...” I thought, “we are off to a rough start when tachometer and speedometer are confused.” 😣
