This kind of comment has probably been written thousands of time but... I still find amazing after all these years and the growth that your channel has known that you are still genuinely passionate about sharing your excitement and passion about sportscars Eventhough you have a 2+ millions sub channel you keep being yourself in a humble way, not exagerating anything. I wish you keep sharing such moments with us these opportunities you get that we can't even think of... this is pure joy & happiness
Seriously! Wow! You’re living the dream. I went the Stuttgart for 7 hrs to see both Porsche and Mercedes, flipped a coin and went to Porsche first. Spent 6.5hrs at Porsche. So many amazing cars. I took 600 photos. Loving living vicariously through your experience. Closest I got was to hire the Panamera. Just a wow moment. Thanks for sharing Tim.
@@nathanthomson777 Well this 911 GT-1 is one prototype as well locked in Porsche Museum.. so fingers crossed for Tim to accomplish his dream to review such crazy rare expensive vehicles and to bring us with him along the way..
My father was a master mechanic, foreign and domestic, specializing in Porsche/VW. I grew up around the cars at the shop, and at the race track! Thank you, my dad is old now and I send him your videos! Cheers!
I was choking from the excitement at the beginning, Tim's expressions and voice tone really made me smile, and I'm so happy that I could experience this legendary moment all thanks to his dedication to the channel and his followers, thank you!!!
Absolutely thrilled by this video! The sheer joy is palpable every time you shift gears; it's an immersive experience, feeling the intense vibrations even through the audio. Truly remarkable!
I saw the thumbnail for this video and I just yelled OH MY GOD!!!!!!! IT'S MY FAVORITE 911 EVER MADE!!!!!! The Porsche 911 GT1 Strassenversion is not only one of The Holy Trinity cars, but in my opinion, it's without a doubt one of ze most Schön (beautiful) and einzigartig (unique) Porsches ever built.
I saw one of these at the 2018 Paris Auto Show. I was amazed at this machine. I’m happy to had the opportunity to drive one and make a video to share with us! Thank you for being you and taking us along on your adventures! Cheers!
Meanwhile other people milking modification car content Tim bring us access to ultra rare cars that hardly for normal folks to not even see or maybe heard of it.
This is why I love this channel, who tf else gets to drive a Strassenversion?!?!? That has been my dream car since it came out and to see you in it..... I feel like a kid again watching this actually drive.... I've had the blessing of seeing one in person but never driving. Thank you.
It’s not very often I’m jealous but this is one of those occasions. That intro and the wall of cars behind you was breathtaking. What a legendary car the GT1 is. Some of your stats on the GT1 were a bit off but I’ll forgive you as you are the stat man 99% of the time (1st gen 996 front and rear lights on that car)
I know what you mean, Oliver, but that ought to be 'ALWAYS fails to disappoint',🙂 i.e. always succeeds in FAILING to be disappointing, or 'never succeeds at being bad'.
@@SenszR it’s not a 993 chassis at all, the front part of the chassis is based on a 993, but the whole chassis in general is not the same as any 993 car.
the fact that this man has seen the cars he has and was excited as he was about this one really speaks to what a special car this is. the word unicorn gets thrown around quite a bit but this and the clk gtr along with the maserati mc12 all fit that description id say
WOW. There’s no words here to describe what an absolute DREAM this is for so many people. You never cease to surprise, Shmee. Definitely a moment to pinch yourself, that’s a memory for the books! Amazing content, cheers shmee🎉
I nearly lost my mind watching the GT1 compete against the CLK GTRs in the FIA GT Series. I would completely relinquish my mental faculties were I to ever pilot this epic Strassenversion. I consider this to be one of the most beautiful & iconic GT cars ever conceived. Congrats, Tim, and well done!
For me the Porsche Gt1 of this era for me are the most beautiful cars. Remember watching these and the Mercedes equivalent racing with fire popping out of the exhaust. To now see you show us around, up close and personal around this car. Dream come true, amazing experience. For you and for us. Thank you Tim, keep up with the great content 👍
Congrats. Few, very few will get the chance of Porsche to drive this car... You have earned it with your enthusiasm and in-depth knowledge and experience with fast-driving cars (at the Nurburgring). Well done.
I'm so glad this car hasn't become a safe queen that no one would dare drive again. It's a car, it's designed to be driven and should be driven. Thumbs up to Porsche for recognising that and trusting it to Smee so that we can also enjoy it through him. My respect for Porsche went up massively.
Wow, you’re incredible lucky to be able to drive such a masterpiece. Besides the CLK GTR and the Ferrari F40, this is one of my favorite cars. Thanks for sharing this moment with us and thanks to Porsche, for make this possible
This is one of those cars that's just so special. I imagine the feeling you get when you drive them is unlike anything else. Like the Mercedes-Benz CLK GTR Straßenversion, they're an icon from a certain time. Everyone growing up in the '90s probably recognizes them. Great video, Tim!
As you said, unbelievable.This has to be up there in your top 5 auto experiences no? Thanks for sharing. Made the homeball all worth it. Thanks Porsche for letting us share in Tim's joy and let us enjoy the ride
WOWW! It must be an exceptional opportunity and a great honour and responsibility to drive such a rare and iconic car on the road. It's not a car, it's more of an artefact, a dream come true for many of us. A beautiful but tame beast that can twist its claws and show its true power in an instant. Thank you for sharing your experience!
HOW on earth is any other car gonna top the porsche 911 GT1. speaks volumes of how far your channel has come and im so happy for you to get to experience this . Keep up the great work shmee and thank you so much for this video
The giddiness that smile almost a laugh as you step into that Porsche and then you cannot help but laugh with glee as you pull away from its home. I could go on but your genuine interest doesn’t go amiss as you travel around Europe, the states and Middle East. Keep do what you’re doing can see three million subscribers before long!!
What a beautiful machine. Please more videos of these legendary overlooked cars. I know the modern ones "sell" with the crowd but those are the cars that are truly out of this world that aren't featured much.
Great content Tim, you was able to drive the car because you have proved yourself sensible in your approach, and someone who respects these cars, rather than ragging them, lucky lucky man.
thx Tim. the 911 GT1 was always my poster car. so damn cool n a moment u can look bak on in years to come n say, yep i drove the Porsche 911 GT1. awesome mate.
I will always remember my first car magazine purchase when I was 9-10 years old. DuPont Registry, and on the cover was a red version of this exact car for sale at $1,000,000 . Imagine the value of these cars now, totally incredible.
Wow, what a beautiful machine. You are one lucky guy to drive this. Your enthusiasm was amazing. Thank you for taking us with you. You are the goat 😎😎😎👍👍👍
I've been watching your videos since about 2017. You have never made me nervous for you or a car until today. I was so worried you were going to scratch the GT1 with the screwdrivers. Then you put the screwdriver in your pocket, pointy end out, and was walking around the car. I know you are not used to using tools much and not hanging out of your pockets. What a legendary car though! I was excited just watching the drive. Surely you have surpassed Clarkson, Hammond and May with driving the most cool and exotic cars.
When I visited the Porsche Racing Museum in Stuttgart, I had never seen a car like this and understood what it was but I couldn't imagine how cool it was. Thank you for this vid.
Was at the Porsche museum on Friday. The details on the GT1 but also on the CGT are freaking incredibe. For example that rough screwed carbon arround the a-pillar and the frontsplitter.
That was epic Tim! Since Porsche is being so generous, the y should let you drive one of the handful Porsche 962 race/street car like this rare bird. Porsche had a ton of success over many years with the 962. Thanks Tim!
No way, that’s insane. How the hell did this happen. The workshop even and driving that insane car. Wow I have seen them move it and thought I was lucky, it’s a mental thing
This is the type of car I thought a human being can only experience through a video game. It is absolutely insane that you drove this thing in reality.
That looks like the 996 front to me. I still have magazines from the 90s of the first prototype in white with the 993 round headlights. I could have sworn i saw it or a race conversion in one of your videos from a middle eastern collection a couple years ago.
I was at the museum last week, I took several pictures of the GT1 from 98 since it has always been one of my heroes, what an opportunity you got driving the street legal version
Love how the back part looks similar to the rear end of the Carrera Gt, it seems the designers inspiration came from this wonderful Legendary Super car, the 911 GT1 a true masterpiece! Thanks Shmee for such beautiful content in your videos every single time! Cheers from Colombia.

Well said. I might add that we are rewarded by your industry wide trust and style of review.
For awhile Supercar Blondie was giving him a run for his money.
The closest you'll get is when Henry Catchpole did a review on the holy trinity(F1, CLK GTR, GT1) on Carfection.
Great video! But shmee really needs to update his audio and camera equipment.
