- Living The Porsche - is a Film by Sydney based company, SoDUS Films. The guys from SoDUS followed Grant and the team at AutoHaus for more than 8 months to capture stories here at the workshop, away at the track and from some of our clients. The film was premiered in Sydney, we were there along with 250 of our good friends. The night was a huge success but obviously not everyone could get there to see the work. Here is the full-length version of Living The Porsche and we are proud to share it with you. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Many thanks to the guys at SoDUS films for letting us share it exclusively on the Autohaus channel.

I never feel compelled to comment. But I just bought my first Porsche 911 cabriolet 1987 yesterday and watching this gave me the urge to tell the world I am now a Porsche owner. I wanted this car as a kid and now it’s mine. I am so blessed with my life and this is a cherry on top. It feels good to be parr of the club. One day you’ll own one too just be patient and humble and the opportunity will rise. Stay blessed guys and gals. Take care.
Going through the research and buying process myself. I still remember the GT silver Carrera miniature I used to play with at my grandparent's house when I was 3 or 4 years old. It's a car that is simply cemented with my being. 99% of people will never understand and that's ok...
Welcome to the club brother I have 2 boxsters a 1999 and a 2002
Passion and Porsche! Most people will never understand.
I'm a first time porsche owner, I purchased a 2018 991.2 GT3 manual I love the car! A dream car....
As a 911 owner, which took me a while to find just the right one, I love this. Every owner I’ve met is indeed an enthusiast. Such a strong brand loyalty; I’ve never met a driver who didn’t love their car or know all the intricacies of it. Hard to meet someone who just had money to blow and doesn’t understand their car. Thank God. Those people can find another brand 😅
There is nothing like the sound and drive and look of that Porsche 911, makes me stop, look back and smile everytime i walk away from it!
An epic story!....How 1 car(911) can touch a MILLION+ lives! Can't believe this film/story would NOT win a Emmy! You should enter this film into SUNDANCE. GRANT, thank you for sharing your story, family and friends with us!
All the very best, sj Florida
Should do well at Sundance; Robert Redford is or was a Porsche driver.
Total enjoyment. All Porsche owner or Porsche enthusiasts should watch. Permagrins upon permagrins. Thank you for all the effort it took to produce. Again, total enjoyment.
I'm going to break tradition and comment on UA-cam. This is the best Porsche short film I've seen. There is no other marque that brings people together; that ignites passion for engineering excellence and dynamics; and that lights up the faces of young and old alike in the same way. This is truly the zenith of automotive driving development.
As a 3rd Generation German auto enthusiast and engineer, it's great to see the passion continue into the newer cars that undoubtedly are robbing some of the 6 senses from the driving experience. (yes I am slightly partial to older cars!)
I've passed this onto my father who I think trained Grant in the early days at Hamiltons. Good to see Klaus and Alan as well. As for me - I'll have a sweet shifting aircooled G50 of any sort, everything else is superfluous.
'A product that is coherent in form requires no embellishment.'
Porsche is such and special company and this is a well made documentary. Its nice to see that Australia feels the same about Porsche as we do in the States. Thank you SoDus Films, Autohaus Hamilton and Porsche.
What a great film. From the editing, the music, and overall artistic standpoint, A+. Thankfully I have a couple of Porsche products to admire and enjoy. I feel gifted in that regard. All the opinions and comments reflected in the film are spot-on. My favorite manufacturer without question. Once you’ve driven a Porsche, all other vehicles are judged with the Porsche experience as a standard.
Thoroughly enjoyed this film, the content, the passion of the people in it, can almost smell the oil and petrol fumes..beautifully composed and filmed. And yes, I'm a car nut.
Not a 911 owner, I own a 944 which I've wanted for years. I absolutely love it, the smells inside, the feeling I get driving it... it's an 88' so it's almost 30 yrs old. That being said, it still gets the senses going and feels like new. 82k miles and going strong. Thank you Porsche.
Such great cars. I have an 87' 944s and love it to bits. My first car actually and planning on keeping it forever.
I'm in the market now for a Merc 560SEC, another excellent German car. If you don't know that car check it out here on the tube. 5.6lt V8 300hp and it's a beaut. Stay classy RHH911
Yep, seen a couple of them here in Finland, very cool indeed! You too Jason :)
Very well done, the passion of everyone in the film really comes through.
Wow thanks for making this. But I couldn't stop thinking as soon as this is done I am going Porsche shopping.
Wow! Epic video, thank you for taking the time to piece this together. As soon as it finished I was straight on the internet looking for my Porsche, its life long dream that one day will be realised.
Absolutely loved this! Thank you so much! My dream one day to own a Porsche. I will have one!
Very enjoyable. For me Richard Walkers sheer enthusiasm and pure joy says it all!
Great film, had me on the verge of tears in some parts. "928 has a distinctive purr to it"
Truly amazing insight into the world of Porsche. The best hour I've spent watching a well put together bundle of fun with some great characters. I'm looking at my first Porsche, 911 997.1 4S, wish me luck.
Wow ... there are so many things to love about this video/film, that I'm not sure where to start. Beautifully filmed, and edited - about a 'subject matter' that (in my mind at least) is second to none. I cant believe its taken You Tube 2 years to recommend to me that i watch this vid - but I'm glad that it finally did, (on the same day I had just returned from a PCV Club Run!) Serendipity ....?
How i got my Porsche; A rich friend of mine, nearing retirement age, envied myself seeing me having fun in my Z3. He asked me to get him one also. I (a simple poor technician) told him, (he was a doctor); ''No Adam, rich people like you buy Porches. I'll find you one" Which I did. When I send him the pictures, he was shocked, afraid of being hijacked etc. I was very disappointed, so I bought it myself. God has a sense of humor. Never give up on your dream. It will materialize. After many years I never get over it. An awesome privilege indeed. Life is too short not to own a Porsche.
Thanks for this awesome video. Great to see a film capturing people enjoying all that it means to own and drive Porsche automobiles. Engineering excellence, history, tradition, passion, racing....you can go on and on. Few other marques offer so much.
Excellent documentary. Great stories, charming characters, perfect cinematography, settings, editing and audio - wow. A nice blend of down to earth technical talk with style & heart. I now like 968's. This should get a media award. Thank you.
Great film! Proud to be associated with you. #rennkit
Jordan Waller you did a masterpiece at 4:20.
I just play this track over and over again.
Hi,
If you are interested the soundtrack will be available on itunes within the week.
I will post on this page when it is up and running!
Thanks!
jordan
Jordan Waller Great
7:34 in and yes it speaks of Porsche well. I am an aircooled freak I love them. My dad told my Mum he was going to buy a Volkswagen (Beetle) while she was pregnant with me, he came back to the 1 bedroom unit they were renting in a 356 B, 2 weeks latter I was transported home from Hospital in that same car. My Dads a champ and my Mum was considerate in his love of beautiful cars.
literally cried watching this beautiful film, thank you so much for making it, the only reason I wake up every day is to make enough money to buy a Porshce...
Khashayar Rabbanian me and you both, brother! Always been a dream! I’m so passionate about Porsche... one day. I see you posted this 3 years ago. Have you got one yet?
You have 1 sad life brother
Fantastic video !
Excellent video! Passion for air-cooled Porsche aside, the video editing, choice of background music is just brilliant. I am amazed.
Art! It's work of Art!!
Yet to get my first Porsche ... I find this movie inspirational, Great work
Fantastic film. Absolutely brilliant
Such a pleasure to write the music for a fantastic film. For those that may be interested in blasting the soundtrack within their own vehicle, it will be up on itunes within the week.
I will post on this page when it is ready!
And thank you again for the feedback!
jordan.
Fantastic movie, a credit to everyone at Autohaus Hamilton, love the passion, love the honesty, you certainly make me feel like you are a trusted Porsche business!
What an entertaining film. I was a bit cautious at first when I noticed that it was over an hour in length, but I was glued to the screen. Well done Autohaus Hamilton.
This is a beautifully engineered video, very special and intimate, we actually love these cars for the incredibly complimentary creatures that they are. #TYSM
Outstanding. Moving. Passionate.
Thanks
Thanks for sharing your passion, Great film.
VERY VERY touching I am in love with Porsche! I remember how I found out about Porsche I was about 7-8 so 2007 or 2008 and I saw a 911 it was black on black and I remember asking my dad what car is that? And he said that's a Porsche he does not like Porsches however I feel like I am connected to it somehow like it runs in my blood every time I get behind the wheel of my first car which I just got recently a 86' 944 which I am gonna make it to a street legal track car bride seats, maybe a newer Porsche engine, tint the Windows, roll cage, better Porsche brakes, some Porsche rims that don't look crappy, new badge maybe, 944 badge, repaint it white, get a new decal for the back, new under spoiler, fenders, doors, new steering wheel etc.
porsche is my dream car since my childhood. it's badge is the most valuable amongst the car industry. because porsche provides the ultimate driving experience. you know that.
Love the film, great work, great people, great cars. Keep it up
Thks from Baja MX. I am a porschephile have 74 Carrera Yellow , 82 SC , 924 77 love the film
So great to see honest passionate tech. Great job producing this film cheers
This is the best documentary i have ever watched
My dream Porsche car a RUFF . SON N DAD DREWM HOW THEY BUILD THEIR COMPANY GROUND UP. BUT THIS GUY HERE DOING IT HERE WOW. YESIF I COULD I WOULD BUY FROM YA. Keep doing u.
Awesome film! I loved watching the cars and listening to the interviews. They all seem like a great bunch of people. But the last seen with the older woman complimenting the RS was priceless!
Great work. Really captured the passion of the Autohaus team.
Cant wait to buy my first Porsche! Still have a bit of time, but I'll have one.
it was the second best feeling in my life after my son was born
Bought mine at 69 yrs old and wish I had purchased it 20 yrs earlier. If you have the means, they are a car for life.
@@hughchamberlain5018 I'm considering getting one in the next 5-7 years. I'll be 45! So I'm doing it! Lol. Thank you for the advice!
@@dk7541 Buy one! you won't regret it! I bought my 1st one around 20yrs ago and I am on my 5th one. There really is NO substitute!
@@ruf930porsche it's definitely a goal, I have in motion, I really appreciate all the feed back on how amazing they are. I'm basically saving to buy it out right instead of a loan... hopefully lol. Knowing how well built they are just makes it worth it. For me it's never been about showing off, it's just a goal I've had since I was a kid. I told myself work hard and one day it'll be yours! Lol
Porsche cars are only cars- why sooooo many people get so passionate about them!!
proud owner of 03 911 Turbo. I wanted the car but I could only dream about it. when I picked up a poster from 2000 auto show in Chicago. I bought mine more than 2 years ago. very solid car. love it. I hope to keep it forever. I wanna drive it everyday.
THANK YOU, THAT WAS SUCH A TRIP AND ADVENTURE
Thank you!! realy enjoyed this!! Great passion.
Lovely piece of work ....really made me feel good about my car
wonderful film and fantastic production and sound.
Great little doco guys! Congrats.
This is beauty and perfection, this is PORSCHE!!! Tnx 911!
So much passion, I love it.
Congrats! Amazing movie, I wish I could live some more the Porsche enthusiasm like those people do.
The Group 4 911 is just stunning. Great video guys!
really cool video people !! illustrated the love of Porsche !! Bravo !!
This is an emotional video focused in advertising this particular workshop!
I know I am kinda late to the party but this is a great documentary! 🔥🔥🔥🤙. Awesome owners and mechanics! Very passionate
This is a true gem of a production. I aspire to create videos like this someday.
Thanks for the inspiration - through the filmmaking as much as from the cars!
Proud to own a Porsche 911 (997)
Really enjoyed this documentary, really pro level photography, music, and a wide range of owners/interviewees. I was never a car guy, until my buddy bought a cayenne. Don't get me wrong, I don't like SUV's at all, but something about his cayenne (and he later got the cayenne turbo) just set it apart from any cars I've ever been in. I had to go try a Cayman S for myself, two months after I got my driving license, and I was blown away. The sound, the feeling of the car, just absolutely different than anything else. I could barely control it, you have to really be careful with your inputs, especially when you don't have much experience. I've long looked at other vehicles too, Audi S5, Volvo S60, BMW 3/5 series, but something just keeps telling me there's just no substitute. I will buy a Cayman S/911 one day, I could buy one now, but financially speaking it might not be the smartest decision at my age. Thanks for being an inspiration in owning a Porsche guys.
I'm only 20 mins. into this film yet I can already see this is the type of driving I love the most. I once spent about 15 hours driving through the night in S. Korea on roads like this, no idea where I was and the passengers not appreciating it one bit, yet it was one of the most enjoyable nights of my life. How does one get into this type of racing, in North America, for example? Or, for that matter, in Oz, where I've also spent some time? One question in particular: suspension height. I imagine it's quite different from what you'd have in typical road racing. Thanks for the film, which I'll now continue to enjoy. Cheers!
Thanks for sharing the passion guys
This is a gem of a movie, so very well made. The interviews at the begining are great. I also love the music, very good sound track. Congrats to all those involved !!
The red 996 GT3 mk1 is just gorgeous...
Absolutely my favorite watched it 10 times at least love my Porsches love my triple black 86 944 and 99, 911, 996 triple black Cab i’m not rich, but I’m not poor two great options. Yes they will make you feel alive before you hit that rev limiter😜
Soo good. Video. Interview. Music. Flow.
great subject and wondefully made film!
Fantastic effort on the video guys. This really inspires me to own one of my own someday.Great soundtrack at 4.20 as well.
This documentary is beautiful and 100% on target. Unfortunately, I will never own one due to the cost, but still love them as their beauty is timeless. My favorite are the 930/911 Turbos of the 1980's. Those were raw Porsches here in the states. I imagine it was like owning an uncontrolled, unrefined animal that had way too much testosterone and was meant to run wild. The car screamed and yelled at you when driven, you kicked it back, and then the turbo lag........gave you a kick in the ass along with the heat (anger) from the rear as retaliation, while shaking you around in the cockpit causing you to use two hands on the wheel. The car was driving you as much, if not more, than you were driving the car. A real head turner even today in the states....the sound, look, and it's own audacity makes everyone pay attention to it's presence. Please Porsche, bring back turbo lag, simplicity, and the raw crudeness of that era .....it's infectious😉🙏🤸♂️
Great film!
Thank you for making a great film/documentary. You have wonderfully captured the passion and love Porsche owners have for their cars and the excitement of racing them. Your blood, sweat, and tears building your business and "living the Porsche" is very admirable. I have a small collection going (997 4S, 987 CS, 986 3.4, 955 S) If I lived in Sydney you would be my go to Porsche shop for certain!! Wishing you much continued success pursuing the dream ;^)
Thankyou so much for your feedback. We are really proud of it. We are even prouder that we have made some new fans. If your ever in Australia be sure to look us up and stop by for a visit. We always love meeting fellow Porsche fans. :)
Autohaus Hamilton Are you guys based in sydney as well?
Great film!
Saving money for a 911,watching this doc makes me want it even more, damit.
Ricard... If you're a "Driver" (versus a Commuter), it will undoubtedly be the best purchase you'll ever make! Good Luck with your dream!
-Kosta454- (Owner of a '74 911 Widebody (964 Turbo Tribute))
I got mine at 55 years old. The first year I drove it to the limits of the gauges. The speedo pegged. Passed 6 State Troopers. One smiled and waved, One raised his arms as if to ask why I was going so slow. Point being the car is in its own class. So you should be as well.
I know exactly how you feel I'm in physical pain I want one so bad and I will drive the wheels off it no investment / show cars for me
Two thoughts for you. Everyone is saving for a Porsche. Me too and I own one. Second, don’t wait. Just do it. Wait to justify the purchase and you’ll miss out on the enjoyment. These aren’t rational things. Just do it.
The tipping point of driving a classic 911 porsche begins with an unbridled desire for a degree of self actualisation sparked by any one of numerous triggers. The fancy of a drive is tickled by one's dreams of self super car status being realised. One achieves this through a kaleidoscopic imagination and partial satiation of sitting in one and experientially enjoying the joy of the many quirks smattered with exhilaration and deft hands on feeling. From first sight followed by the solid grip, unlocking clicking handle to your gentle sliding entry on the leather seats which snugly hug your body. The moment you feel the taught steering, the car begs you to insert the key. As you slide in the key and turn the key the motor growls into a roar that spikes your adrenaline and takes your breath away... more to follow
Great movie about passion. I always wanted to have a shop like this, but not wanted it bad enough unfortunatelly.
Kudos...very well done!!
I loved every second !
Awesome documentary
it was a privelage to watch, great video. Good luck in the future with the buisness and passion :)
Great film.
Solid effort. Very well done.
Great job guys!
Thanks for posting a great video. Enjoy my little Boxster to bits although at 6' tall I'm at it's limit. I owe a 930 body. Will forever dream to to drive her, but at my age, most likely/ hopefully one of my son's will live my dream.
We've had a few requests for music and we've got to thank Jordan: soundcloud.com/jordanmwaller
cracking vid enjoyed it so much
Wow. This is just great.
Very awesome!
Absolutely spectacular, but a shame that it was only uploaded in 720p.
Once you get the Bug, nothing else comes close. Add to this the customization options and you are hooked for life...
Good stuff, well done
@29:47 The gentlemen talks about how the auto industry is "full of people who are miserable", I couldn't agree more. It seems the true techs and mechanics who really love what they do are getting harder to find by the day. I've worked in garages and as a parts salesmen. The common denominator that ruined it for me is peoples attitudes. I tried, I tried for years to put on a smile and while I could sell anything to everyone, at the end of the day it's either people had unexpected expenses for the car they didn't understand the costs of maintaining or they think that just because their is competition they can walk all over you and expect you to take it. I've quit working with the public in this regard because of this, which is a real loss to them as I know auto parts inside and out. I'm the kind of guy that will go the extra mile and really look at parts as to how and why they are designed, what is the history of the part etc. My current build is a 76' 924 and I have systematically went through almost the complete car and rebuilt it from the ground up. Because of the NLA list of many of the parts for this car, I was able to rebuild it from numerous parts from a half a dozen cars. Love what this movie is about and I hope Autohaus is here for a long time to come!
+Tom McBride In German the word "job" translates to "Beruf" which means "calling". No wonder that people who are just doing their jobs to earn money are miserable.
+Jan Aike I'd love to work at Autohaus, seems they really do have a passion for what they are doing.
@@jaikee9477 I couldn't agree more about the statement you made there.
I am American and there is a point where if you don't have a passion for it, then it's just a miserable job.
For me, though it's an addiction. Porsche is in my blood and will never leave.
The 911 air cooled is in my book the best invention in the world.
They are a European hot rod. They are what true bliss is all summed up in lightweight metal and glass.
There is nothing like getting my 68 911s and cracking the throttle on a quiet spring morning. It's a drug and it's a lifestyle.
Amazing stuff!
Great great film…
awesome video!
PORSCHE is certainly among the greatest brand on earth
Just picked up my sky-bliue 911(997) from Berlin. Drove it down to Munich. . . all Autobahn. . . . . words cannot describe. I call it my 'point and go', or my 'make things in the rear-view mirror get smaller' machine. The Autobahn is basically a war. . . and a Porsche 911 is the nuclear weapon. I kicked EVERYONEs butt without even blinking. I would even slow down for this Audi A6, just to blow him away again. God bless Ferdinand Porsche.
we LOVE this!
Honestly i love Porsche i would love to own a 911 one day, i recently took a 997 911 Carrera S for a test drive it was amazing... however until then, my 98 Spec ITR gives me amazing thrills for very little money and with extremely high reliability. Like the guy says, "just before you hit the rev limiter.. you feel alive." I get same feeling.
