How The First 911 Changed Porsche Forever - 1965 Porsche 911 - ISSIMI DRIVES

- In this episode of ISSIMI Drives Derek Tam-Scott drives a 1965 911. One of the most enduring car models of all time, the 911 was actually somewhat controversial when it came out. Up to that point, Porsche had built a legion of loyal fans by building variations on a theme: a rear-mounted flat-4 placed in a torsion bar suspended car whose roots traced back to the Volkswagen Beetle. The Porsche company’s first production car model, the 356, earned a reputation for being a giant killer, outperforming cars with two or three times the displacement both on the race track and on the street. Diehard enthusiasts of the brand greeted the all-new 911 (originally called the 901) with some skepticism because it represented a significant departure from what had come before.
Only Porsche’s second all-new street car, the 911 was quite a bit more sophisticated than the 356. It had six cylinder and overhead cams for the first time (aside from the Carrera racing engine), paired with a 5-speed dogleg gearbox, pushing the car away somewhat from the little car that could position in the sports car market. As the decades have passed, the 911 has grown enormously, both in terms of variants and in capability. The early cars are particularly sought after for their purity: both mechanical and cosmetic. Initially, there was just one car available: the 911. Available as a coupe only with no forced induction or other engine upgrades, and no transmission or driven wheel choices, you got an elemental sports car that was deceptively swift and rewarded the experienced and passionate sports car enthusiast.

Really appreciate the amount of research done for these, but of course the stand out is how much experience and passion Hyphen has for old cars. Love it.
Oh that's not research that's just off the top of hyphens head, he's like a motoring history book
@@tomfurstyfield "should be award winning automotive library" as Cammisa put it
Beautiful job Hyphen. I can't get enough of this series. From the cinnematography to the music, to your wonderful narration it's truly automotive poetry.
Maybe I have not been paying attention, but, Derek. You have finally hit your sweet spot in my opinion where you have relaxed the inner machine brain robot (I have it too) and revealed your enthusiasm and passion. I see this when you are driving and talking. Congrats. Love this car too beyond words.
What surprises me the most having not driven one are how methodical the gearchanges seem to need to be. Eaasing it in, no rush and it'd probably not like being rushed.
-Much like not putting out on the first date- hehe
Great stuff!
Perhaps he's just being extra gentle b/c it's someone else's car?
@@toddsmith8608
If they were still using VW-derived shifters at that point, that was a linkage you couldn't hurry.
Great joke, did your wife’s boyfriend let you post it while he rushed it into her??
@@toddsmith8608 that's also true, but I know for experience that there's no other way with early 911s.
I really enjoyed this. Your love for automobiles is palpable in your work.
I love that DTS is more of a geezer than most geezers. Love his command of the language too.
Your wit and knowledge and humor make you an awesome person to watch and learn from. The 911 is my goal car. I need to find one on a 30 k budget. Its my dream.
Love these kind of videos, thanks for making them ISSIMI!
Way to go Hyphen! Keep up with the good work!
The thing I appreciate most about the BTS with DTS is that it captures just how gentle Derek is with these cars, the man can drive to preserve, it's inspiring
Very nicely done. I have a 65 and enjoy her. Most reliable car I’ve ever owned.
The genesis of Butzi's vision being driven on a road it was designed for. Awesome.
So good on so many levels - I really appreciate these vignettes, thank you for producing them.
Vintage Porsches had some of the best color options of all time
Absolutely. I remember seeing a pic of a Swiss chap's garage filed with around 20 odd 930s, 964s n 993s. Most were very flashy colors but not what one would classify as gaudy. Similarly there's a lady in California with a whole collection of mint green/blue Porsches. She has everything from the really old school stuff upto the more recent 911R n a 918 too in mint green if i remember correctly. Not a color I'd personally have, but I'm glad such specs exist.
What's the name of this color? It's beautiful!
@@athensattila Sky Blue
Beautiful cinematography and brilliant narration. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Thank you
Best presenter ever? I'd have to place this well spoken Porsche historian and excellent driver at the top of my list. The car is amazing but I may have been ruined otherwise expecting all cars to be presented this well. Loved all the explanation and analogies too. Well done sir 👏🎬
Love to see the presentation style and personality develope on these hyphen. It seems so straight laced and then references putting out on the first date and soiling one's self. Well done.
Wow! Great video! Really like the in depth review and research. Love the cinematography! Music is cool too!
Very well done. A lovely homage. Thank you.
Been a while, you have been missed 👍
Fantastic as always, Derek, keep 'em coming. I was definitely chuckling a bit during the last minute!
What a great video. My new favorite auto presenter.
I see this I see royalty.
I love each and every episode you put out! 👌
Hope you keep the car as original as can be. It's beautiful and rare.
Phenomenally well presented!
beautiful episode like always
The direction of this video is great.
Great work on this, forreal.
Thanks for the drive!
One little quibble with wording, though: You say - “You’re having more involvement, entertainment and engagement with the car at a lower speed which is not a BAD thing”. I’d say that’s WAY better than a bad thing, it’s ideal! Why would you want a road car to require high speeds to be fun!
Great content and awesome review 👍
Issimi and Intimissimi... 2 words that make a man weak at the knees
Great review Derek
You’re vids a really well made and great content
These are not only interesting but beautiful documents.
Great video on the classic and cool looking Porsche
Just glorious
Well done 🙏🏼
Drivers soiling themselves on those nice textile seats could be part of the reason so few of those cars survived unmodified to this day.
Simply Irresistible!!!
I think that the most noticeable step from the 356 was 6cylinders,, then they really became a significant club racer and took on the new mustang/camero products
Great video
Sensational
Please post the filming locations. This looks awesome!
Great content as always, but made me giggle at the start. DT-S walks over from a random side of the road, not coming out of a house etc... Must have been making his own "pit stop" 😜
Well it's about time
Nice color
DTS in a Porsche, like peanut butter and jelly
Hypen and Team, what cameras are you filming with? I've been curious about that lately.
Did Hyphen just " relieve himself" on a California Redwood???????????
Same sound as Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed...it took me back 20 years in time.
8:51 That scene.
The front view has shared a closer resemblance to a 356 than a contemporary 911,
but it's still a 911, that's how far we went.
This one has the lead filled bumpers?
DTS, what is that watch? I thought it was a Daytona at quick glance, but clearly not based on layout of the subdials. Are you happy with it?
I'm pretty sure he rocks langes which is a very Hyphen watch.

Hi there, just following up.
Would love to have written confirmation by June 28th.
If we don't hear back, confirming we will go ahead and link to your video in our UA-cam video project details section, in a special thanks area so that you are given due credit as a documentary source. Thanks so much, Veronika
9:40 yes yes
What are those roaaaadssss
Looks like CA 35 and CA 236 near Big Basin Redwoods State Park, approximately 35 miles south of SF
but did you drive it on stage road hyphen?
Trè Bèl Machin
My most reliable car.
👍
I love the fact that these old cars were modified in period and now restored back to stock. We will see the same in 30 years with all those 964s and 993s that get butchered these days.
In 30 years people will be buying slammed EM1 civic si’s and restoring them back to stock.
The people who will have money to buy these things in 30 years would’ve come from a different background and I think that the cars that you say have been “butchered” are inspirations for future generations
Especually those gaudy RWB 964s and 993s.
Puts out on a first date 😱😂
you forgot to colour grade some shots haha
I hated the 915 gearbox in my Turbo Targa.I was dreadful.The G50 was so much better.
What about the 63 & 64??
Production began in September 1964, with the first 911s exported to the US in February 1965. There are no 1963 911 models.
@@Fastvoice 63 was for the IAA auto show. Production started in 64, but the first models were actually built in 63
@@andresguerin7162 Nope. Before september 64 there were only 13 prototypes under the name 901 - none of them was sold publicly. The prototype for the IAA 1963 didn't even have a proper engine. So there is no 1963 911 model.
The first publicly sold cars in november of 1964 were 82 of the 901 models (not in the U.S. though); afterwards they were called 911 with the official model year 1965.
@@Fastvoice so where did those 13 prototypes end up?
I’d like to know the value of an early 911 like this. $300k? $500k? It’s beautiful.
This exact car is listed at $375000. But if you're not one to be bothered about it being a numbers matching car, you can find good examples anywhere between $89000-180000. If you feel a lil dangerous, there are cars with true race provenance and history upwards of $500000.

How’s that air conditioning…eh…
He lives in San Francisco, the climate does that for him.
I like your video , but i dont like porsche !!!
hairdresser car
You mean the mustang? It was explicitly marketed to secretaries
I couldn’t watch your video due to your squeaky high pitch irritating voice. Learn to talk like a man with bass. That’ll draw in more viewers and hopefully they’ll stay to watch the whole video
