Walter Röhrl on His Personal Car Collection

[mastenGas]

I would rather sell carrera gt than authentic audi s1.

[tcspeed1]

he said 94' RS, so i would think it is a 993RS. (not available in north america)

[johnmcluskey]

THATS QUITE AN INTERESTING HORSE! After being asked why he sold his Audi S1 lol!! Brilliant!!

[Arnechk]

No bullshit cars, Rohrl, hats off to you, you use a Turbo for everyda use, like I would if i had the money.

[ringlol]

Poor Röhrl regrets he sold the S1 :P

[ErikMartijn]

I think he meant 964 RS.

[MrHansdampf123]

what is meant by a '94 RS?

[einmalderfelixbitte]

@MrHansdampf123 probably a porsche carrera gt rs from 1994

[truesemite]

does he drive anything except for Porsche's ????

[DrakorGaet]

@truesemite Nowadays he doesn`t. He is working for Porsche as a testdriver and adviser afterall. BTW, his very first car was a 356 as well. Also, Porsche delivers evreything you`d ever need, so there is no need to have something else.

[kenbinglee]

What car is he driving now?

[andreasbayer]

@kenbinglee

I think a Porsche GT3

I have seen this in a other clip

[charmand79]

"Nice Horse", hehehe. Come on Walter Rohrl. Admit it. You never sold your S1.

[aspirem5811]

Hey Walter, du kannst ja englisch ;)

[supbitcheez]

THATS QUITE AN INTERESTING HORSE! that has to be the most subtle way of changing the subject ever!!

[MrHeavysteel]

Yes i had an audi s1,that's quite interresting horse. MAN IS LIVING LEGEND.

[mcrdaveabc]

Carrera GT, 904..in the realm of giants and incredible experience

[petrucci14]

At 1:41 - he doesn't say "It slides" but "It is light" ;)

[911jp]

hey Porsche guys: you catch the message ;-)

One 904 for Walter - he really deserves it!

After all his succes the stayed grant and humanly!

Met him two years ago at Porsche Drivers Club -

such a great character and genius at steering wheel!

[9inchNirvana]

If only that horse knew that the legend of Walter Rohrl stopped to admire him:(

[MagicAyrtonforever]

@9inchNirvana ahahahaaah :-)

[Nitrolympxx]

I would prefer the Pikes Peak S1 for everyday use :D Can't imagine driving a different car still is fun after riding and taming that beast.

[jamesash7]

"It was a lot of work to keep it running..."

Translation:

"I came to realise it was an understeering pig. As I was not corporately involved with Audi anymore, I sold it for a healthy profit."

:)

[MOSS722]

@jamesash7 "An understeerind pig"... Can be said louder but not easier! hahahahahaha

[Ascender2306]

Argh... ein Traum: Einmal von Walter Röhrl überholt werden... XD

[atomicbreaker]

He deserves a 904.

[daoli1994]

he didn't want to say what happened to his audi :(

[moilaaaaaaaaaa]

He couldn't say that he sold the S1.. Great guy !

[sherbet24]

hahaaa, geile siech :))))) quite interesting horse :)))) what a funny guy

[Tommynatorium]

Mercedes find ich besser :D ich bevorzuge lieber den CL V12 Brabus 800PS als irgenteinen Carrera Gt oder so :D

[MrBugfunk]

@Tommynatorium

wie kann man eine 2 tonnen autobahnrakete, die nichts für die rennsstrecke ist, mit einem 1300kg schweren sportwagen vergleichen?! der CGT ist eine ganz andere liga....egal ob in der beschleuningung oder auf der rennstrecke, der CGT macht jeden brabus platt

[Tommynatorium]

@MrBugfunk da wäre ich mir mal nicht so sicher meister :D ich sage nur SLR Brabus ^^

[purpleGoAhead]

@Tommynatorium wenns auf die nordschleife geht scheiden sich schnell die geister; eine 7:40 für den SLR McLaren und eine 7:38 für die sonderversion 722 - der CGT ist mit walter am steuer ganze 10 sekunden schneller... aber ich muss sagen, RESPEKT für einen 1.8 tonnen schweren wagen mit klassischer konfiguration frontmotor/heckantrieb...

trotzdem spielen die beiden in unterschiedlichen ligen; der SLR ist ein superschneller gran tourismo, der CGT ein designmeisterwerk in sachen supersportler

[Tommynatorium]

@purpleGoAhead mag ja sein :D ich sprach aber vom SLR Brabus ^^ die tunen auch den Motor nochmal ; egal Deutsche Autos sind die Besten und bleiben es auch

[purpleGoAhead]

@Tommynatorium der motor des brabus slr ist nur marginal stärker als der, der 722-edition... würde auf der über 20km-strecke mit profi-fahrer vielleicht nicht mal 'ne halbe sekunde ausmachen, aber er besitzt ein 40%-sperrdiff, das sollte deutlich helfen... naja, an 'nen leichteren mittelmotorwagen, dessen motor ursprünglich für LeMans entwickelt wurde kommt er nie und nimmer ran. aber ich stimme dir voll und ganz zu, dass deutsche autos (besonders qualitativ) wohl die besten sind =)

[Tommynatorium]

@purpleGoAhead Was fährst du eigentlich für ein Vehicle, fals du schon eines besitzen solltest und es auch fahren darfst :D ; Bist du auch ein professioneller Fahrer oder so etwas? Hast du Skype,Icq oder irgentsowas :D?

[purpleGoAhead]

@Tommynatorium ^^ ich bin schon viele fahrzeuge gefahren, nur keine schnellen xD

habe mit 15 jahren begonnen rennsimulationen à la GT Legends mit 'nem logitech g25 zu "spielen" und es ziemlich ernst genommen (weit über 1500 runden NS)... am 18ten bin ich dann gleich 'mim vater ca. 2h gefahren ohne vorher auch nur einmal hinter einem richtigen lenkrad platz zu nehmen und er war EXTREM überrascht ;)

nun bin ich 20 und verfüge leider immernoch nur über theoretisches wissen in sachen sportfahrzeuge

[purpleGoAhead]

@Tommynatorium aber wenn du's schon wissen willst, ich selbst fahre eine 21-jährige yamaha sr 125 ^^ (mehr kann ich mir momentan nicht leisten) sehr zurückhaltend und sparsam - ich will dass das ding die 100'000er marke schafft ;)

btw. hab' nur FB...

[kostritzer]

I'd trade him a horse for his old S1 any day.

[pascal2400]

And Walter Röhrl is owner of one of the latest Audi A2. Check out on Google. "Und was fahren Sie privat? Röhrl: Neben meinem Dienst-Porsche besitze ich noch einen Audi A2. Warum denn den Audi A2? Röhrl: Der ist heute schon Automobil-Geschichte. Der A2 war das erste und vielleicht letzte Vollaluminium-Großserien-Fahrz­eug der Welt. Er ist sparsam und leicht. Ein echter Pionier."

[ndinis666]

"There are quite a lot of nice cars but they are too expensive" and he owns a carrera GT loooooool This man is GOOOODDDD!!

[onpsxmember]

@ndinis666

it think the Carrera GT was a gift from Porsche...he made the setup etc. on the nordschleife

the 904 is really expensive

just try to find one for sale

[ndinis666]

@onpsxmember

Ok, I'm not a big porsche fan, I don´t even know the 904 :)

[Lifeofriley18]

He says "964 RS" not 94 RS.

[LordQbak]

@VectorSam

:D

I don't know what Rohrl is talking about, but You know what i'm talking about? Really comfy... You don't have to tell all of us what to think ;)

[Simixus]

He isn't a legend...He is WALTER RÖRHL !!!

[kenshi187]

yeah sure those cars are all too expensive... but a Carrera GT isnt huh^^

guess he got it as a present from Porsche

[TheCenturion1]

This man is a rally talent. Group B cars are not very easy to drive. Walter Röhrl is one of my most favourite rally drivers. I love the Carrera GT so much. Does anyone have a complete list of the cars Walter Röhrl owns? Thanks a lot.

[comali2212]

This guy is like : oh, hmmm, yea yea, really.. oh ok, wow, aha...

This is a legend, have some interest and enthusiast!!

[TheMrVilla]

Glad to hear that some things are still too expensive for him!

[CarPicsAndWalls]

I love this guy. He's so funny xD "That's quite an interesting horse..." Ha!

[computername]

Very typical for German behaviour: He is one of THE legends in drallye racing an car driving in general, especially one of the few who actually raced the S1. But he sold his one because he didn´t drive too often, and the Carrera GT he only drives to make someone who likes it a favour. And the only thing catching his attention is the horse. This is so metaphoric for germans and his kind of beings.

[Nation010]

@StigRossi Right on bro, feel U on that one too, i wish i could afford a GT3rs but i have to make do with an e30 m3 evo1 and and an e34 //m5. Saying that a mate just bought a new GT3rs will go for a good blast soon and will try to shoot some vid. Peace.

[LordQbak]

I don't know if you all know but saying Carrera GT, he meant 924 Carrera GTS ;)

[Schenkelbesen]

@LordQbak

no,thats wrong.

[swazimilk]

@LordQbak  He owns a Carrera GT.

[LordQbak]

@swazimilk

I'm not saying that he heven't got one, I'm saying that he also have a 924 GTS...

google, you people...

[Nation010]

Any self respecting car nut will know better than to buy a 458 italia or a technonanny car like the 599GTO or a Murciellago those cars are for sissies Real men who are not lacking in the trouser dept with nothing to shout about drive cars like the 1994RS and a GT3 RS on the track and Turbo's on day to day basis, this are cars you need to know what u r doing with, in otherwards demand respect, for show offs get a Ferrari i say.....AS for me Porsche's ill do

[StigRossi]

@Nation010 Turbos are for fags. GT3 RS everyday dammit! I drive a Caterham (and a motorcycle) everyday and its DEFINITELY doable. And the Caterham is far far harsher and less appropriate a daily driver than an RS!

[eisenherz188]

was kostet denn so ne alte 904 Rostlaube?

[governator45]

@eisenherz188 About a million US dollars!

[DerAusroter]

@governator45 Wo liegt der Sinn auf eine auf deutsch gestellte Frage auf englisch zu antworten?

[governator45]

@DerAusroter I don't see why not?

[DerAusroter]

@governator45 ist ja auch egal

[TheGel69]

yes indeed the 904 will cost more than the carrera GT....the new stuff is cheap compare to the porsche classic with a pedigree.....try a 906 or a 917.....you could get several carrera GT for the same monies...

[buttnut1080]

If I had the money like this guy, I wouldn't have an all Porsche collection. Maybe a Carrera GT or a GT2 RS but I'd have to get a 458 italia and and something else; either a 599 GTO or Lamborghini Murcielago SV.

[Yanp87]

@buttnut1080 the guy is the official Porsche testing driver... he probably doesn't pay for any of his cars lol and he used to race Group B cars... and he survived them so I guess once you've driven race cars, ordinary road cars must be less interesting

[buttnut1080]

@Yanp87 If I was in his position then, things would be different but if I had the money to spend, those cars I listed would be mine.

[at8tc]

@buttnut1080 Walter Rohrl wouldn't be caught dead in an Italian car.

[buttnut1080]

@at8tc Yeah probably not.

[tejepollo]

heprefers horses...hahahaha cool...

[jbird123456]

He sounds like an older version of Arnold

[knechter90]

LOl I have a Carrera GT ... but the 904 is too expensive hahah

[moselyliver]

That is a nice horse! hahaha lol.

[OmegaAbyss]

"the exhaust is quite noisy" lmao

[nickyboy94]

oh noo... he sold the best car....

[whiterottenrabbit]

Why the fuck does every other video here on youtube have a FUCKE UP ASPECT RATIO? >:-(

[Rik1pk]

porsche controls him :S

[levizinhodonacimento]

he is my dad!! :D

[audi0005]

Aber wieso hat er keinen Audi? Ich mein er war so Fasziniert vom Quattro! Natürlich geht er sehr schnell kaputt, aber war nur das der Grund?

[10speedofgodsspeed]

@audi0005 Bei historischen Rallys stellt man ihm das Auto fertig vorbereitet hin. Er braucht sich nur reinsetzen und Spaß haben, bekommt wahrscheinlich noch Geld dafür. Ist sicherlich die bessere Lösung für ihn.

[gamingpro12]

1:55 haha

[ukmarc51]

Interesting horse! lol :-)

[LKWS20]

mój idol i wzór do naśladowania w prowadzeniu auta :D

[LKWS20]

He's my favorite rece driver and my master of the drive technics :)P

[stotheimon1]

er is halt einfach der beste... :D

fährt auto wie ein gott und is trotz seines alter total lässig und cool :D

[oofuriaoo]

er hat nich mal nen audi -.-

[Lichtkogel]

Er hat seinen Audi S1 verkauft an Michael Gerber.

[Marius356]

Very nice vid. It was quite interesting to see that Walter's favourite cars are nearly the same as mine. (904!!! GT3 RS, Turbo, '94 RS).

[sharpanator]

it is nice when he said but they are all to expensive and he owns also an Carrera GT :)

[easzygoing]

he said "it is light" not "it slides" :D ... "it slides" wouldnt even make sense

[rafa281]

maybe he actually said "it slides" cuz he loves to drive cars over the edge, sliding them around

[easzygoing]

maybe you should buy new earphones and listen carefully to your master

[buttnut1080]

Wow, who would buy a carrera gt? They are terrible. They are too ugly. Not to mention the price. You could buy a murcelago lp670-4 for that price.

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

omg^^ the lp670-4 is a piece of shit

buy a corvette zr1 for half the price of the murcielago and u got a better car

but nm the Carrera gt is the best out there so stop hating

[rafa281]

the Lambo would probably catch fire within a week after you bought it and the corvette wouldn't last much longer than that

[buttnut1080]

Are you serious? How is the zr1 the better car? Because its cheap? Why do you think its cheap huh? Just because chevy decided to give people like you something to rant about? No. Its rightfully cheap. Low quality and poor handling. Both are things that the lambo excels at. The lambo is engineering perfection. The corvette is an overpriced muscle car. And by the way, a Ferrari enzo will chew that porsche and spit it out like its nothing.

[IcEcReAmSaLe]

i never said the zr1 has good quality or something like that, the only thing i was talking about are the driving abillities of the zr1.i never said the zr1s quality or something is good.

and yes i think the lp 670 is overpriced .its a modded lp640. for the price of the lp670 u have a lot of better ways to go for example a lp640(wich i really like) or a scuderia f430.

in fact i never said lambo sucks the only thing i wanted to say is that the LP670 SUCKS

[DIZAZZO]

just imagine...

a track day race between Balboni (Lamborghini), Dario (Ferrari) and Rohrl...

Could be awesome...

[buschmann69]

I wonder what Walter would say about the 928 ???

[Drkadrk]

prob nothing good..

[sharpanator]

i think he wouldnt like it, i can imagine that he like more the 911 type with engine in the back

[player1vladimir]

He is a legend

[Andreas1986xyz]

if you compare walter with emma watson? What do you think which one of them has achieved more and which one is more detached.

[sharpanator]

who is emma watson?

[blackhole522]

He likes Porsches for sure

[Kurzb3]

Ich hab selten einen so bodenständigen Superstar wie den Walter gesehn - Hut ab - hier hat das Geld nicht den Charakter verdorben.

[kensai69]

That's quite an interesting horse LOL. He's a great character

[Mknives]

This guy in the passenger seat is not seizing the moment. You can feel Walter's passion when he brings up the Carrera GT and other cars but this basketball head doesn't even know the signifigance of the driver. I could do a better interview than this non-rallyist passenger!!

[RomanSedlak]

you could tak with walter all day long about cars:)cool

[rhyfelderbiatch]

he has more cars... he also has an old 911, which he uses for the rally from cologne to ahrweiler for example..  he´s a legend =)

[35yearoldboy]

The way i understand it is as follows:He`s Driving a 997 GT3 RS,He has a 997 turbo 4 going to the shop,he has a Carrera GT 4 doing favours.....and he seems 2 forget that he altso has a 993 RS....somewhere.Easy 2 forget as we all know;)

[sharpanator]

hes driving 997 GT3 for track use and driver schools and 997 turbo for every day and carrera GT for doing favours and forgot that the has also an older 993 RS. Walther is really a greate character just like Hans Stuck, remember both driving american IMSA Series and of course Walthers Rally time in the 80s

[fusca03]

Funny thing is: I think he is saying that he also has an 964RS and they translate it to a '94 RS...

[HeavyweightThinker]

he has a 964 RS which he uses for Köln-Ahrweiler Rallye. The video is bad translation.

[snipski0894]

for all people saying how can he afford a carrera gt well he is the lead porsche test driver so he gets it for dree

[eamoman651]

why would you get rid of the s1

[sno9r]

Is he talking 997 turbo or Cayenne turbo?

and is he driving a 997 GT3?

[Schnellbusfahrer]

He owns a 997tt and in this vid, he´s riding a GT3.

[sno9r]

Okay, thanks for the info about the 997 TT.

But no shit is it a GT3?

shiiiit nigga

[aphasia1972]

Walter Roehrl is a legend he won so many races and grand Prix he is a truly expert.

[ChristophMC]

Haha so funny, when he just switches to the horse.

[sirtristan01]

hes SO in the porsche family, even a more normal car he uses Audi which is of course related.

i think this man wouldnt touch anything not in thr VAG group

[metring073]

Wish the guy did a forth video questionnaire asking Walter what does he think about other supercars/exotics beside Porsche?

[EJ25RUN]

He likes horses too?

Maybe he should have worked for Ferrari for a little bit :p

[wuharrharr]

on the porsche badge is a horse too ;)

[nguyentuan1990]

lucky son of a bitch he has a carrera gt, i would ditch my wife for a carrera gt.lol

[stormthorgerson]

i would kill mine

[nguyentuan1990]

nah kill is a little too far

[VRAlexander]

Cool video and great question =)

[ericmillerlite]

i love it. he has a CGT but says older cars are too expensive.

[soyouz]

lol like he is not payed enough by porsche....

[AriasFco]

904 cost millions, is quite rare actually...

[monkeymarine291]

"Nice horse!" Lol

[yemightylaminator]

It was an interesting horse wasn't it?

[TheOtherDimension]

LOL!

[Baruka88]

hahah i wish this guy was my uncle or friendly next door neighbor or something!! id get to learn from the best, in the best cars...

[ZuuL15]

Roehrl is a damn legend! Awesome video! He's got great taste too haha

[furbygr]

what did you expect from a German to drive?German cars...

[Chick6517]

on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best i would probably give this video a 8.5 something about it just made this video good.

[nitroboyn2o]

I couldnt help but notice that the porsche he was driving had the same seats as a Carrera GT. could he have been possibly driving his carrera gt he was talking about? or does porsche just use those seats for more cars than just the GT

[chostomanito]

i bet thats a GT3 or a GT3RS..

carrera gt does not have a roll bar... and you can see the alcantara on the roof and steering wheel..

its a gt3

[stormthorgerson]

yes it is a 996 GT3

[AriasFco]

isn't 997??

[gremlock]

Yes, that horse was indeed quite interesting, thank you.

[Mattyew]

you guys are judging a man you don't know based on a crappy 2 minute interview...

[maestroadam]

Another boring German.

[nosebugger]

Another boring german who is nothing but the best driver in the world ever!

[maestroadam]

I thought that was Schumacher?

[clu4u]

If you EVER see a video of his feet dancing on the brake, clutch and gas pedals (sometimes on all 3) in a Audi rally video, you will understand.

[MisterTiberius]

the asian dude sounds so uninterested. walter must be dying. hes like, why oh why did i sign up for this??

[alernest]

May be you never heard him in german: he's as odd as an old stinky shoe.

I think HE is not overly amused or excited, he's like.. old. Porsche hires him because he's famous, renowned, responsible and they know he won't bin the cars...

And he's not a lifestyle-challenging bloke, so anyone buys the same car with no envy...

[garrettej8]

this guy is the man

[joshcfriesen]

apparently he ADD as well, "hey look its an interesting horse!"

[asdfgoogle]

LOL... yeah

[mrjost55]

this guy is really into porsche's...I don't blame him but is he sponsored by them or something? I don't know much about him but it seems like he raced for Audi as a rally driver.

[k6k6k6Darkie]

He raced back in the days of Group B Rally for Audi. You can find some footage of it here on youtube. It's really amazing!

[mrjost55]

apparently he's also Porsche's lead test driver...according to Wiki

[ma55aracin9]

no wonder why he's known as the "kontrol meister" by the rally fans WORLDWIDE

[venomviper32]

he is their senior test driver!! if im not mistaken i think its actually been quite a while, all those nurburgring times by porsche are released by this guy.

[whatthehallbetch]

this Walter guy has an awesome set of cars

[scaglietti03]

"theyre all too expensive" and he has a freaking carrera gt!

[Yanp87]

@scaglietti03 Porsche probably gave it to him since he helped develop it

[sspope]

Clarkson once said in TopGear when Hammond asked him what the Carrera GT was had been like.(It was all knew back then and JC had tested it on a Porsches race track). He replied:

"There's nothing wrong with it........................well­....apart from the people who make it:

NEIN! NEIN! GET OUT! GET OUT! GO HOME!"

[theguynumber9]

lol wtf, thats an interestign horse?

[iraleecantellia]

So I guess that answers the question, "What does a man with a Porsche 911 Turbo as a daily driver drive when he wants to make an impression?"

[dj19891955]

sweet video

[devildriver024]

first grade and you fail!
