It's amazing how all the great racers of the past 50 years borrow from this car's design! We either have had no design improvements or this car was way ahead of its time...Let's not forget, this is where the 911 engine started its life!

Walther Rohrl is the Mohammad Ali of driving.Just like Ali he just adapts to his "oponent" and does what he pleases with it.Tarmac,gravel,doesn\t matter.Ofcourse "Fleetwoodsucks" here says HE is a better driver,but.....
@fleetwoodsucks Oh yes i`m SURE you can drive better than Walther Rohrl.Take a look at him driving his group B Audi Quattro S1 E2 back in the day.Besides,it`s not like he`s driving a mass produced pile of shit,but in fact a rare Porsche.Your an idiot! Your JUST the kind of dumbass filling up the internet with dumbassery.STFU
This clip sums up everything I love about cars. Walter could have been driving a hearse and this would still be awesome. Fanboys need not apply. No 0-60 times, no 1/4 mile or skidpad numbers. Just pure enjoyment to be had by a skilled driver behind the wheel.
Heck Yeah! When I was kid my parents had a 1952 convertible with the special roller Bering crank. My dad said only eight were brought to the USA. He sold it in 1974 to buy a boat for $400. shortly after I think my mom realized he was stupid and divorced him. I worked for Porsche for a short time and really had fun. I owned a two 1989', a 944s2 and a turbo. Both were a blast to own.

@lambrightdotcom I've heard of those roller bearing crank engines, supposedly they were aircraft engines that were fitted to cars. A buddy of my Dad owned one and said it went like a bat out of hell!
@mkampinga dork.....the ford Gt is a copy of the ford GT40 that was 40 inches tall. A car that was raced against the similiar ferraris and cars like this one the 904-917 series all look basically the same ...Ferrari, lotus etc. have all ratained the rear engine layout, and therefore some body shapes will always be similiar, but the gt40 had a v8 and it was larger like the ferraris and jaguars later
@130starfish You don't own a ferrari or porsche, so how would you know which one is faster or better? You have no idea of how bad that makes you look when your biased on a car that you haven't ever driven.
It is a great looking and sounding GREAT but it is nothing compared to even you mid ranged sport cars of today it performance is weak. 0 - 60 mph 6.4 seconds, 155 hp. Great for the time but now a can be out done by a Civic SI.
hes having a terrible time keeping it straight; it wants to swap ends, Did you see the look he gave the camera ? like " this things a beast, so forgive me if its all over the road"
look at 1.30 it's a beautiful car though, i like this style/ dino style too.. i think the dino is a better handling car.
a near perfect sequence... brilliant. A true car lovers video of a beautiful car. I am officially off Top Gear (once the best show on TV) ; Clarkson is about as subtle as this 904s engine note.
We need an entire show of cars shot and edited like this!
Um beautiful car control anyone??? Walter is an artist with the motor car! proves you dont need power to have fun, just need an amazing amount of skill and ability! Great vid!
Now THAT'S the way to make this type of video, no narration, no music, just good camara work and a good microphone and let the car speak for itself. SO classy compared to the idiocy of so many of the "Top Gear", "Fifth Gear", "High Gear" whatever type of automotive gong shows now on the air and the internet.
@gurlsingerfan YOU are absolutely correct. Perfectly shot and directed. Why anyone would add music to the soundtrack of any sports car is beyond me. 10/10
Muy significativa la risotada que se pega antes de arrancar el coche; y cómo tiene que abrir la trayectoria para no subirse encima del coche que va delante grabándole.
Porsche should make a nowadays video with the most powerful 917/30 version to show people how scary it was to drive the most powerful motorsport car ever!
