  • 22,093 feet above sea level - no car has ever gone higher. On 2 December, racing driver Romain Dumas and Porsche set a new world record, taking two modified Porsche 911s to the peak of the Ojos del Salado volcano in Chile - the farthest above sea level that a land vehicle has ever been.
    The whole record was achieved with the cars running on fully sustainable eFuels, but as Road Test Editor Joe Berry found out when he was invited by Porsche to drive the cars, that is just the beginning of this amazing story. Learn more HERE ➡️ bit.ly/42aHNVh

    15 years and a huge budget to beat the suzuki samurai by 46 meters.

      I'm sure porsche did nothing else but compete with jeep and suzuki for the past 15 years... And failed at it...
      Yea, that makes sense - good job sherlock, you figured it out

    I drove my stock '89 Prelude to 10,000 feet. Although I did have gravel/dirt road and some pavement 😂 That gravel section would take 17 minutes at 10 10ths & no guard rails. Yes I'm talking about infamous hwy 165 in NM to the Sandia Crest.

    How can you get used to that noise coming from that body roll system? Every two seconds I'd instinctively think something was broken.

    • @fxlltxtsearch
      @fxlltxtsearch 8 місяців тому

      Its not a jeep so youre not going to get that comfortable silent suspension since Porsche doesnt innovate in this area. But yeah youre right, they couldnt sell a car lifted like this stock its unacceptable, but still cool.

    • @SpookyFow
      @SpookyFow 8 місяців тому +1

      @@fxlltxtsearch One of things you learn to do in all racing sports is listening for indicators of failing or damaged equipment. It's hard enough to do that without a contraption a foot behind your head clinking and clacking over every bump and turn. It's an innovative contraption for sure. You'd think with the money behind this they could dampen the noise. Maybe you get used to it after a while?

    • @fxlltxtsearch

      @@SpookyFow yeah I agree, I think its just a matter of specialty of the business. Since its not porsche’s specialty to do offroad suspension systems it makes sense that this suspension system is all clunky and dingy. If jeep or toyota collaborated with them on this it would have been silent.
      Its my dream to have a lifted 964 one day but thats largely because of how rare it is to even see a lifted prosche

    "Not far from stock" - yeah right.
    I mean - don't get me wrong - it's a magnificent machine but from which ever angle you look at it, it is very far from anything that would remotely resemble "stock".

    If only "normals" could buy one. Bring that MSRP down to 60-80k and cut off that dealer BS markup. If it doesn't come with wheels thats fine.

      Nah the lifted 911’s are way more interesting than an SUV. The 911 reflects porsches history in rally in dakar and is going by to be more effective with the flat 6
