Realmente incrível. Acredito, por se tratar de um porche 4 marchas, deve ser algum turbo da década de 70. Nessa época, com a distribuição de peso irregular e com entre eixo curto, eles saiam o tempo todo nas curvas. Aula de pilotagem para quem não conhece os carros mais velhos de tração traseira. Lindo! Tudo de bom!
The original 911 chassis was never meant to handle this much power, 469 HP and 553 Nm torque was more than 50% more than Porsche's own turbo (935). In addition it was very light, only 1170 kg.
Contrary to popular belief, an original 80's 911 is actually an easy and forgiving car to drive, if you remember slow in, fast out of corners. Wet surfaces can be a bit tricky. I love my 911 SC and will run it on The Green Hell in 6 weeks. With only 204 HP it still does 0-100 km/h in less than 6 secs.
I just busted out my stop watch. Of the 8:25 minutes he spent about 1:40 of it going sideways :-) Way too much over-steer on the RUF. I wonder what kind of lap time that car is capable of with a sorted out suspension set up and some of today's sticky rubber? And yes, that guy had mass cojones to push that car as hard as he did with that much over-steer.
To those who say he's showboating...He's having FUN. That's why you'd take your Porsche to the Ring - to flog it around corners and push it to the limits. This driver = Balls of Steel.
It only appears squirrely because he's showboating for the camera, forcing slides everywhere to look like a hero. Note how he enters some corners wide and then cuts the wheel hard when he gets on the gas, or in others he'll jerk the wheel first away from the turn before cutting into it. Once he's sliding, he has to work the wheel to keep the slide going where he wants it. Guarenteed if he were actually racing, he'd drive smoothly to save those tires.
RustyATV wrong. That car was built poorly in a sense back then. Porsche's design of the rear engine layout caused the rear of the car to swing out wide on turns causing alot of understeer or drifting. So it's not so much his driving but it's what the car wants to do.
I don't discount that some of it is the car's handling, but watching the steering wheel and the lines he's taking in the corners, it's pretty obvious to anyone who's actually raced anything on four wheels that more than a good bit of that is driver induced.
It's a rear-engined Porsche, whose front axle was already too light for the standard 240hp... Underseer to oversteer in one sec...
You need to apply excessive wheel-lock to get the nose in the right direction, and then the engine's weight make the car oversteer like hell.
Add to that the big big turbo with insane lag, so that the motor goes from like 300 to 500hp in one sec with the same throttle input but after a delay, and you end up with a car that is totally impossible to drive cleanly.
it's probably because of the crappy handling of the yellowbird he drives like that.... still after watching some crashes in the ring roser has god like skills
some of you fail to realise that the RUF is not only a tuned porsche 911, but is also a yellowbird RUF... more powerful than a normal 911 and a lot faster than a 956, which is why he drifts on most of the corners... too much torque
at many corners i thought he´d loose it...damn, even the camera must have been sick after that drive! first i had the impression of some wierd idiot driving, but he does have control... great video!
yea this dude really can drive the older porches where known to be rite animals anyway and thats ruf so its got stupid power the guys got real talent to make it go round a track like Nurburgring that fast....
Respect. he is a drift champ, a fast drift champ but not a fast race driver . Look at his time: its about 8:20! 500hp! And the 80s cars were not heavy. Its PR for Ruf, not for fast driving on the RING
at first it kinda seems like he's just some moron in a porsche on the nurburgring. Then you watch more and notice his lines are absolutely perfect, especially around the traffic he encounters. Amazing.
If I am correct, I believe that is "Sideways Stefan", a professional test driver, not just some crazy guy. The car is a 500hp RUF CTR, the definition of a "scary fast" car.
Funny how the people who complain about the 911 seem either to be the people who never drove/owned one. The 80's 911 made an ass of people who did not know what they were doing, but rewarded the person with the skill to handle it. My 911 is like a drug. I NEVER get tired of driving the wheels off it!
Skill! Here's an 80s RUF 911 from an era when the 911 was a nervous wretch of a superpowered death trap, ready to dump you sideways in the gutter if you dared make the smallest mistake, and this guy just casually drives it at absolutely suicidal speeds around the ring - no helmet, no harness (from what I can see), no fear - just jeans and a white t-shirt, lol! What a hero.

Yup, this is Stefan Roser, RUF's test driver. The guy is a complete lunatic, and sickeningly gifted with it.
Notice how, despite the lairy angles and hastily applied steering inputs, the lines are still millimetre perfect.
I just wonder how many cars he broke learning to drive like that...
