I love these back ground stories. I still have my Toy Corgi car 917 in blue and one in red from the early 1970s. Mark in Milwaukee 🍻🇺🇸

Norbert Singer - eine lebende Legende! Bitte mehr Interviews mit Timo!

[@paulmcdonald9592]

Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories, Mr. Singer.

[@ProfDrDrThomasJRosemann]

Deutsche Ingenieurskunst, sympathisch, bescheiden und informativ präsentiert. Wunderbar!

[@mick4659]

NO car in this universe reach the beauty of the 917 K. This car is timeless.

The greatest generation of engineers, Norbert Singer, Hans Mezger, who designed and built the greatest car ever made which was driven by the greatest drivers, Dr. Helmut Marko and Jonkheer Gijs van Lennep who set a distance record in it in 1971 which stood for over four decades. The great Pedro Rodriguez won the 1970 Brands Hatch 1000km by an astonishing five laps in a 917K despite being penalised by one lap for missing a yellow flag during the race.

I've never paused so many times to look at each photo and each subtitle. But I loved every minute of it!

Ein einmaliges Gefühl , dabei gewesen zu sein ... 1970 erster Gesamt - Sieg ... 2017 letzter Sieg - Danke Timo Gruss aus Canada !

[@rapier84]

Norbert Singer is a legend, the 917, 936, 935/78 and GT1. So many great cars!

[@thedriftmc]

My favourite Porsche of all time. I sincerely hope the new Le Mans Hypercar IS being modelled on this.

[@hgdmagirus]

Einfach nur klasse die Interiews von Timo und seinen Gästen, insbesondere Norbert Singer, Walter Röhl und Striezel. Bitte gerne mehr davon.

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Great unpretentious interview of a legend by Timo. Thank you. The museum is also well worth visiting folks.

[@TherealLorinser]

Arguably the most iconic moment of Porsche at the time.

[@denisdilberovic8104]

What design and what a sound of 917...Porsche your next hypercar must look similar and sound like 917....art on the wheels 👍

[@georgesschuppisser2575]

Was für ein geniales Zeit Dokument. Wunderschön interpretiert und dokumentiert , vielen dank dafür. Georges Schuppisser Schweiz

[@spinister4357]

Legendary race car!

[@Erougel]

Norbert Singer, one of Porsche's biological memories at Le Mans. What a treat to listen to him talk about this wonderful adventure, I never tire of it.

[@jitinvp3358]

This is so inspirational! Still dream of working in motorsports with Porsche

[@Snow_OwL217]

Der schönste unter den Schönen der 917.

[@jashargubetini2477]

Amazing stories, this is like visiting a museum right here, if not better.

[@bravofoxable]

I feel blessed to have seen one in the metal... Icon indeed 👍🏻

[@motomaya1308]

Fabulous story about history. It was a pleasure to hear it. I felt like in a museum. Thank you.

[@mogelkaiser1876]

Can we talk about that theres just a 911 gt1, a 919 and the first ever 917 are just chilling in the background? 🥵😳

[@epluribusunum3294]

I really like videos like this. It's like a free German lesson. Thanks Porsche.

[@miguelsolaz7617]

I LOVE this machine

[@bwm999]

Wonderful video. More please 😎

[@sebastianm.8383]

wasn't Ferdinand Piech the responsible head of dept. at Porsche when they homologated the 917 ?

[@FastCarsFR]

Magnificent !

[@OhItsThat]

I wish they’d do something like this on the 935.

[@김철호-v6s]

Wow .jaguar xj13 design good 👍 porsche 917 legend design good 👍 Make please 🙏

[@hlcepeda]

The development of the 917 brakes was so important to its eventual success. Did the 917-053 race in the 1971 Le Mans with the 1970 specification or 1971 (drilled) specification discs? Die Entwicklung der 917-Bremsen war so wichtig für den späteren Erfolg. Fuhr der 917-053 in Le Mans 1971 mit der Spezifikation von 1970 oder 1971 (gebohrten) Spezifikationsscheiben?

[@kyle_c936]

It had the drilled discs (you might know Porsche called them 'Gruyère' discs, after the holey Swiss cheese) and the discs actually cracked on 917-053 around the holes towards the end of the race. Bringing it in for a disc and pad change would have handed the win to the JW-Gulf 917 running second, two laps down, but since the teams had declared a truce by then (the two 917s were running nose-to-tail with the third-placed Ferrari a long, long way behind), Marko and Van Lennep were able to keep going by braking carefully enough (and eventually hardly even braking at all!) to hold out for the win, their final lap times being around 15 seconds a lap slower than their grid time.

[@김철호-v6s]

It would be nice if the Panamera continued to be produced and only two other versions of the sedan were made. The design is too few in number. Instead of replacing it with a hardtop convertible, I would like to make it separately.

[@linodhesandu001]

BEST

[@jimmy5353]

The ten people dislike this video because the English subtitle cannot be turned off.

[@김철호-v6s]

Hard top convertible make please 🙏

[@a.c.e.7568]

I wish you could cut the sub-titles in these videos.

[@legenderik1967]

Ok, the Thumbnail could be better!😅

[@shanazirk]

Why do Porche , BMW & Audi are scared of F1 ?

[@nirwandam9963]

the budget in F1 is really big, that's is the reason for Porsche works team withdraw at the end of 1962 F1 season.

[@shanazirk]

@@nirwandam9963 it means Mercedes is big than them ... Simple

[@carsforlife1334]

@@shanazirk because most of porsches earnings came from victories at le mans24(hr) so they dont need to enter f1, porsche has 20titles in le mans making them the most successful team to enter that sport were as mercedes only have 2.
