PBIR 12-29-08 917 Test

[dBilb2691]

One question.. WHY did you fail to record a lap of this freaking BEAST! I was waiting for the eargasim of hearing it flat out. But that never happened... :(

[BarracksSi]

It seems impatient.

[jcotteri]

This car is a serious love affair

[diegomayan]

917K ?

[honkitonkitom]

Great to see that particular car running again, I still remember when I admired it as a kid in the Rosso Bianco collection.

[aidan21]

Porn.

[eamesification]

3:45 guy explaining the transmission: "It’s just like a Beetle!". Classic.

[Jerckules]

Love how she purrs...it's music to my ears!

[MrZeus169]

the term race car is 917

[rangerram1]

An amazing piece of history, and still potent. Good for you guys for keeping it alive

[9inchNirvana]

Does it ever come back to PBIR? I live like 30 minutes away and i had no idea this car showed up there. please reply

[boobtube356]

I love it in all white with no markings.

[jdoggybizzle]

Smart motherfuckers without computers built that.

[ThePorscheSound]

It sounds like that the flat fan could "suck clouds down from the sky".

[SYLVIAtunerrb25dett]

Flat 12 cylinders

[SYLVIAtunerrb25dett]

@infidel14825 Tis is an original Car , not a kit by any means.

[123yokomo]

what is a kraftwerks kit

[ninelivecat]

Gears set up Just like a Beetle LOL

[ollieboi27]

The size of those rear tyres!!

[Pricklyhedgehog72]

Decades later it still sounds fantastic and none of the fancy electronic engine management wizardry, let alone the safety systems we take for granted in sports cars today. 246mph down the le Mans straight back in the 70's, you have to give a hats off to those drivers back then, a lot of them gave their lives.

[pigonacid]

thank you for upping this vid!

..could you please tell me the size of the back tyres?

[MILTMINTERJR]

Watch the videos..Tells ya which car it is-doh!

[senornacho101]

you guys should buy a gopro camera so we can see the car in action!

[boba31400]

Holy Crap!!! it is now high noon on my sundial!!!

[Zircemerald]

Sounds amazing!

[infidel14825]

Oh that's Kinnunens' old car. I stand corrected and my apologies for my retarded speculation on that. Beautiful car you lucky dog;);)

[Pendemic]

Wish they would drive it hard at least once...just like at 4:39...

[bradgotch]

@VoightKampffScale Sports cars of this era were required to be roadworthy hence the spare tire and passenger seat. The boss of Martini had a street reg 917! When race cars were at their finest.

[supersevenn]

@bradgotch These 917s are also syncromesh transmision like a road car so that also makes them streetable ;)

[bradgotch]

@supersevenn cool.

[Thunderchild11111]

only one time to drive this car....

better than sex

this sound is unbeliveble

[Airrachet]

Now Peter Piper picked peppers but Run rocked rhymes Humpty Dumpty fell down that's his hard time Jack B. Nimble what nimble and he was quick But Jam Master cut faster Jack's on Jay's dick Now Little Bo Peep cold lost her sheep And Rip van Winkle fell the hell asleep And Alice chillin somewhere in Wonderland Jack's servin Jill a bucket in his hand And Jam Master Jay's making out our sound The turntables might wobble but they don't fall down.. Yeah..........Everyone else can pretty much go home

[bradgotch]

@VoightKampffScale They had to be street registrable to be considered a sports car Hence the luggage compartments and passenger seat . The pinacle of sports cars in my belief.

[jurgenmanfred]

what a dream

[blk8911]

actually there are a few road legal 917...2 or 3...i don't know how it is possible but i think that's great...run on the road with one of those 3.5 millions $ worthed monster must be pretty scary but i would do the same thing...

[blackhole522]

what's the history of this particular 917?

[wast3gate]

A fabulous car with more pedigree than most people will know, and this one is in the hands of jokers...

[zerohand]

Awesome car, but I'll never understand some of the things post on here. Why must the only footage filmed be of you guys standing around in the pits trying to figure the car out? Why not film it on the track? Hell, above idle would be nice.

[BARsrule2]

How do you source tires for something like this? I imagine they would be pretty expensive wouldn't they?

[MonsterC5]

eh, you just gotta find them. You usually end up with a slick or something. goodyear actually makes some tires that could be used... pretty cheep too.

[inagod]

wait !! when they get it running right,you wont believe the sound.

[inagod]

sounds like its missing a few cylinders ?

[ferrarichy]

Hopefully you guys might have more videos of the 917 driving around the track! They sound fabulous and I don't get to hear the car enough!

[ferrarichy]

Lawrence Stroll's 512 M sounds fabulous in the background! How I would have loved to be there that day!

[MY599FERRARI]

Oh yes the 512 does sound sweet.......gotta say the 917 is just a awesome race car !!

[bentleyv8t]

whos car was this originally?

[190Mark]

That car is beautifully evil and you are right sssrpk THIS is how REAL race cars sound!

[IIIIY0UTUBEIIIIIIIII]

Y love Ferdinand Piech

Great idea By: Ferdinand Piech

Bugatti Veyron By Ferdinand Piech

[sssrpk]

This is how a racing engine should sound like and not the hysterical sowing-machine-on-steroids of a F1...

[adrianmontaiuti]

The Best of the best race cars in the World

Sieg Heil to Porsche !!!!!

[trent730]

Is that Gunnar Jeanette??

[hammet411]

yes it is his dad is restoring the car

[944turb0]

OH my god. I need to change my pants.

[MagicMiura]

the best car in the world

[russotragik]

@MagicMiura no, you're wrong...

THIS IS THE BEST CAR IN THE UNIVERSE AND EVEN MORE!!!

[rimmerthon1981]

the dogs bollocks

[MOMOf333SP]

love the license plate

[alexander1485]

not more than 5 have probably had one lol (real ones, not replicas)

[ariekabaalstra]

ah.. i spot a Rooftop mirror.. is this one of the porsches that was driven by Gijs van Lennep?.. he seemed to be fond of Rooftop mirrors.. the AAW Piper #18 Sandeman had one, ( he drove that one in 1970.. Chassis #21

Is this the one by any chance?, if so, you guys must have replaced the motor-cover, since Gijs' car didn't have Fins..

[m3nsah]

how can you take all tha vid and not show it go around the track or above 4k rpm?

[Jaliya48]

I hear ya! I was looking forward for the flat 12 at high speed.

[PukaMan]

O_O Oh my!

[ottocars]

in whisch i would have been there .
