Take a Spin in a 1965 Porsche 356 C

[Seminarstellung]

yesterday I had the pleasure to drive in such a porsche. same color, but 140 hp. what an adventure!!! gotta love this car.

[scottreno40]

Janis Joplin's infamously owned one of these exact model & year. She wasn't thrilled with white, so it was painted physedilcally (sic)...thanks for posting!

[leonelkk]

tanks



[staff50ord]

Owned one of these back in the early 1980's. Should never have sold it. I have a hotted up Triumph TR8 now, but still miss the 356.

[schlusselmensch]

You'd think a car expert could sort out the rear lights?

[Miehzman]

the only sound that can reach the coolness of a flat 4 VW or porsche engine is a porsche flat 6 :-D

i dont need v-engines!

0:32 sounds like my Vanagon ;)

[leonelkk]

ahha the motor is volkswagen no?

[jonw1794]

@leonelkk: After 1955 Porsche revamped the 356, so it actually had relatively few VW parts even though it was still a flat four. The steering rack, headlights and some suspension bits were still VW-sourced. Porsche made its own cylinder heads from the late 1940s, though, so even on the early 356s they weren't exactly running VW engines.

....you need to seek professional help and probably start a medication regiment.

WTF IS A "MEDICATION REGIMENT"?

[vkorinfsky]

haha vw's bigger brother

[Westside7be]

Daddy likes it!!

[rhcpfan1981]

I have a factory video from the 993 /911s and when they were interviewing everyone at the Porsche factory they ALL pronounced

It por-cha. I'm pretty sure the german factory test drivers and workers have it right

[galoon]

@rhcpfan1981 That's right. In German, the "e" on the end is always pronounced--that applies to all German words.

[Robkat3751]

what's that weird filter thingy on the oil breather?

[usaamerica1]

doesnt fucking matter how u pronouce it has long has u own one, who gives a fuckkk, i own a 79 911 sc porche and i dont give a fuck how i spell it or say it, i own one and thats all i give a fuck about! for all u fucking perfectionists porsche, ass holes!

[bonedar333]

anyone who owns a Porsche and calls it a porsh should have their teeth kicked in. This trust fund kid probably got this car because his girlfriend thought it was cute. and yes i am jealous

[Malc180s]

How would you pronounce "Germany", and should the germans come round to kick your teeth in when you don't say "Deutschland"?

So most people say 'porsh'. Rather than the homosexual variant, 'porsha, darling'

[badbob1983]

but i say 'porsh' and i don't end it 'darling'

[doubletap85]

@bonedar333 You take life way too seriously. If somebody saying Porsche differently than you makes you want to kick their teeth in, you need to seek professional help and probably start a medication regiment.

[27FreakDS]

what a beautiful engine sound =)

[TheCottonTop]

Ahh, back when they were slow and handled like balls.

[CreRay]

If you would have ever driven one, you'd be surprised how modern it feels.

[fatrug33]

I have to agree with you but every car back then was slower and handled more like balls than the porsche

[sydneyfc]

Porsche-A

[jtoule8]

Thats in amazing condition. Our 1964 356C coupe needs alot of exterior work thanks to years of being in storage outside

[patrickharpertube]

My favourite car ever (although my real favourite is the 356 B Super 90 Roadster), is there a 356 C Convertible? Have it in brown and you get magnolia interior

[SportsCarAdvisors]

GORGEOUS CAR.

[artofwheels]

classic work of art! 5 stars

[handmpro]

I have this car.

[jethangar]

Give the guy a break. He's from Longed Island. Not everyone sprechs Deutsch out there...'specially being so close to Hymietown.

[steve3sc]

Hymietown?

haha! awesome! 

Jessie Jackson is the man!~

Shout out from greenville sc, Jessie's hometown!~

[Terr0rt0telc0]

Porsche 'e' is pronounced like 'ah' moron

nice car though

[jayguild]

Nice comment get a life. potatoe po-tat-oe

[sonsofmosiah]

In the United States if you pronounce it "Porsch-ah" you sound like a pretentious faggot. Americans speak like Americans. Get it, genius?

[alfaromeo102]

You need some education....

[nls8520]

I am American, the company Porsche is pronounced "Porsha". You do not sound pretentious by pronouncing something correctly. Not trying to start a fight here, im just saying..

[ytacccc]

Actually, that is wrong.

The 'e' in Porsche is neither pronounced like an english 'a' nor is it pronounced like a german 'a' ;).

If a german word ends on an 'e' this character is then pronounced in it's own way, which even got it's own phonetic character because there is no character that sounds like this.

The pronounciation is something like a mixture of a german 'a' and 'e', somewhere in between

[jonw1794]

Thanks for the clarification. I've owned two of them (993 and 356 Speedster) and I've always pronounced it with two syllables, 'Porsch-uh', trying to be accurate.

[CreRay]

Since when did Porsche become an american company?

[mkatzter]

nice car.  how does it rate on the chickometer?

[porscha69]

off the scale - trust me !!

[elgagon2007]

perfect and oiginaly porsche.
