Porsche 917 and 908

[petermorgan911]

This is the film shot by Ottocar's partner at Moroso in 2004 and only came about thanks to Kevin Jeannette.. We did a feature with Derek Bell for Octane magazine and had a lot of fun!

[wez1to2]

nice video!

[ingvlgh]

Porsche 917, jizz the face of bugatti Veyron please (i hate it!)...

[TotalMotorsports]

You are all admiring 917 but that 935 also was (and still is, of course) a fucking BEAST!

[ottocars]

@TotalMotorsports you are right that is true unfortunatly ihe 935 had a fuel problem and we could not drive it.

[1967tuncay]

i wanna buy a gulf porsche 917K. anybody knowing the prize?

[Porsche956]

Who ever got to take this footage is lucky to be there! Awesome cars!!

[Mapleneckguitar]

fags for not driving them

[Juihi2]

ohh man, that 917 in the Gulf colours is my fav car ever

[calvintola]

[RvE1985]

for witch documantary was that show drive or program?

[ottocars]

it was made for the OKTANE magazin.

[koolbossjock]

Its good to see these cars on the track,,however if the 917 was realy racing he would be light years ahead.I grew up around that car(Vasek Polak)Great to see the Name ..Martini Rossi again.

[EmersonMeyer33]

Just amazing! Congratulations!

[jetslayer]

Ask sme1 to choose a car to drive, onli 1. I bet you for 1 hour they are stuck

[No1snYpeslikme]

Lol, three of the greatest racecars ever built. I love all of them.

[RickyJ46]

Nightmare scenario: you're driving a Porsche 917, but must remain behind a Volvo SUV.

[jagdevsg]

lol, me and u have the same brain

[YZippy]

ass

[colin4747]

i like to see that these cars still move and not get "old" in a museum... go on, have fun

[ottocars]

hi colin!

i feel the same, watch my videos. not sure how long we can continue.

the cars get more and more expensive and you dont want to ruin them.

the spare parts are more difficult to obtain and getting very expensive.

the maintenance is getting expensive to,

and there are not many mechanics who are able to maintain the cars in racing condition.

but until now we still have fun and enjoyment.

and the other thing to preserve those cars is, dont drive them to the limit.

80% is fast enough!!

[orbassasin]

Yeah, 80% of 235 is 188... so I'd say that is still plenty fast enough...

[ju87divebomber47]

The 917 and 935 are just gorgeous! Not 2 familiar w/the 908 but I'm sure it's a beast like the other 2.

[ottocars]

the 917 was developed from the 908 its the older and less powerful car . driving it is much easier than the 917.

[kinmanyuen]

The 917's design is phenominal (almos 40 years old). And it's promoposter design from 69.. is like 200x

[Need4car]

how is it like a nissan....?

[garamanth]

Man that cabin is a tight fit... Wouldn't want to get caught in that in a fire or a big crash.

Beautiful cars though. Absolutely beautiful.

[macmacma]

the sitting position is very strange, you are almost lying down in the cockpit, and your feet are in front of the front axle of the car, so you had better make sure you dont have a head-on with anything, hehe. The dash board cover was covered with pool table felt.

[Conianzx9r]

it should be illegal for anyone to own or drive a 917 unless i have one too :(

[1987944s]

wow...what beautiful cars

[ScarfaceHood]

I like that 935, its a really cool car. :D

[icebird1961]

Very nice pictures indeed - those were the days ...

Just the blunt VOLVO SUV sucks ;-))

[ottocars]

yea in the volvo was the photographer.

probably the first time a volvo lead in front of a 917 and thats funny see it this way.

otherweise it was almost like flying, and thats what you seem to like.

[Zobor111]

Thats what I need to get to work with a 917!

[klassiekerrally]

Awesome cars.

[europirate69]

we actually tested our 997 gt3 rsr at moroso a couple of weeks before our test at sebring. and we just ran the 12 hours...it is not as easy as you think it would be. i am still recovering from how little sleep i got in the last week.

[ViennaCars]

wo hast du die gefilmt? geiles video =D der sound is genial

[ottocars]

it is MOROSO in florida

[jkand]

aa the widowmakers ;)

[MTFDarkEagle]

that's what i was thinking :P

[bellcord]

True, but at Sebring in 1970 it was the little 908 driven by Revson and McQween that had to carry the Porsche standard as the big brother 917 had eaten it's cam gears...

[LachozaTube]

917 was the greatest race car ever built.

[tuberstank]

the 962 or the 917/30 - a toss up.

[Elvisdogg]

I bought my Acura NSX as a poor-man's street-legal substitute for a Porsche 917.

[spectre1209]

Good way of looking at it.

[number1Schumacherfan]

Hardly, A Lemans winning German race car and a street legal Jap car which would gets it's ass kicked by a BMW M3 for half the price.

[sobchuk]

Are you daft? Since the M3 does race at Le Mans in race version, you can find it's best lap times. Now look up the 917 (which holds the distance record, never to be beaten again) and comapre. No idea why you're comparing a BMW street car to a racing protype; must suggest some logical thinking problems.

[number1Schumacherfan]

Dude I was replying to Elvis Dogg who said an NSX is a substitute for a 917 and I was saying an M3 kicks an NSX's ass for half the price. I wasn't comparing an M3 to a 917 dumbass.

[vfr4bgt5]

LOL! nicely done!! you kill the guy.... at least his ego.... eheh!!!

[JAG312]

I have always considered the Acura NSX to be an improved version of a Ferrari Dino 246GT. The 246GT is a very nice sports car. I do have one. However, the NSX is far superior. Now I suppose some Ferrari owners or Ferrari owner wannabes will propose having me burned at the stake.

[ottocars]

i dont get this what is the missing link to a 917 there?

[loreztaken]

nice footage.

[mulsanne917]

Probably the first time Volvo ever led Porsche. :)

[ottocars]

this is a 917K which means Kurzheck= short tail

may be you want to see a Langheck!

[Incredimail]

The 917 Langheck is so difficult to drive at Vmax (400 kp/h) that the drivers had bloddy hands if they are back at the pit

Der 917 langheck ist so schwierig zu fahren bei vollgas (400 km/h) das die fahrer blutige hände hatten wenn sie zurück an der box waren, da sie soviel korigieren mussten

[porschemaniak]

i want to see also porsche 917 short tail

[ladaladaladalada]

porsche 917 k30 yeah,, that and a audi r10

[sonicpixy]

I tried to save this video to my favourites (currently only 10 listed), but without success. Does anyone here know why?

[johannes914]

Login ...

[sonicpixy]

Thanks. It was because I did not click on 'o.k.' after save to favourites.

[Lundamyrstrollet]

I love these cars! great video!

Do you have some more of the 935 standing next to the 908 in the beginning?

[ottocars]

[19555591]
