[@TFLoffroad]

Roman misspoke the engine is a 3.0 from the standard 911! Our Apologies

[@WW-wf8tu]

When you are driving a prototype that broke world records with clunking in your ears over obstacles off road, facts being misspoken can be forgiven. lol

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Told ya lol

[@Seventh7Art]

This modified 911 actually reached an elevation of 6734 meters above sea level.... New Guinness World Record!

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Ya I usually criticize Roman on his mistakes, but in this case I would have been so gobsmacked I likely would have forgotten to speak at all. Good work Roman. Congratulations for growing the channels to this level!

[@NightNurseMike]

I was wondering how a turbo would lose so much power I thought the turbo could pump to make up for the decreasing air density

[@Daniel-tt8ni]

The noises this thing makes are just diabolical, but its definitely an amazing concept

[@y_y_zed]

amazing to see the onboard suspension working behind you!!

[@wildburro]

9:34 "Look at my head, it is barely moving..." ...while looking like a bobblehead 😂

[@ScottyBennitone]

The 911 dakar is in my top 5 cars of all time.This is awesome.

[@moboost-nm6ss]

RE: Clicking sounds: It's the sound of the suspension bypass check valves. Common in race-oriented shocks. Totally normal for a high-performance, intentional, functional vehicle with more suspension travel.

[@alterdcustomrc4512]

@11:15 i see what you mean❤

[@NikolaiVozza]

Sounds way too loud for that. Valves don't snap open or closed, they have some delay to them due to viscosity of the fluid.

[@DarkStarX]

That was great thank you Roman I’m glad you had a chance to experience that and us vicariously through you.

[@thatmodel3]

this is so cool, i wish car companies would get back to doing cool stuff like this

[@husky2423]

Perfect for Colorado!

[@bostondan77]

Roman left the frigid cold weather in Colorado to drive a Porsche off-road in sunny California- I’m shocked he accepted the invite.

[@cmc9823]

Manual isn’t an odd choice, it’s an excellent choice.

[@Wrangzilla]

Funny, 95% of us who offroad prefer auto's due to how horrible they do bouncing around on the rocks. 3% regret having manual, and 2% need new clutches.

[@cmc9823]

Huh?

[@tradjic136]

@@Wrangzilla youre grammar is ass

[@Wrangzilla]

@@cmc9823 nobody who actually uses a vehicle for rock climbing uses a manual.

[@cmc9823]

First of all, this isn’t a rock crawler. It’s an off roader, not a Moab machine. Second, guess you haven’t seen Rory drive trail mater on every rock crawling trail literally dragging your automatic wrangler out at the same time?

[@donleamon8653]

Sounds like there was a significant amount of play in some suspension component. There was some serious deflection too that could be seen. Kinda surprised at that...

[@Hiluxtaco]

That banging noise would get annoying really fast....

[@brainyhead1]

Sounds like a mess.

[@reloadrefine]

🤢🤮 embarrassing 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@USA__WILL]

Sounds horrible.

[@carholic-sz3qv]

it looks like its a damaged part, i dont think they could have went so far with the noise

[@dennistate9951]

It sounds like one of the front CV Axles broke. It probably broke with one of the first journalists. I'm guessing they said to keep letting the journalists drive it cuz it can't get anymore broken. That might be why it was not in 4 wheel drive

[@gs6810]

I'm more impressed with the suspension! It's absolutely perfectly tuned! look at the way it flexes and the whole car keep level. Really well done.

[@terrarecon]

I'm not surprised. Most people are not aware of Porsche's off-road excursions and races in events such as the Paris to Dakar race since the 1980's.

[@kennethjinkins8967]

when you say Porche I know I can't afford it

[@MogsAndDogs]

Well done Porsche. Time to take it back Unimog!

[@MOBGaming4]

What an experience!!!

[@johnm5969]

God, the banging. God is it COOL!

[@lucasblanchard47]

Those are the coolest 911s ever built in my opinion!

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Pretty cool rigs. Wonder what they cost to make compared to the 911 Dakar which is ready to go off road right out of the box. Nice video. Thanks.

[@markspence3750]

Dayyum! This is awesome!!

[@josemariarubio7333]

Were the best country of Chile, regards of from Ñuñork

[@M.G.jun.]

What an excellent reputation you have to have to drive such a vehicle. I am impressed. Here Porsche has once again shown what is possible.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

The front(especially Edith) looks like their ancestor, the Baja Bug...

[@Rei_n1]

You made me laugh with the seat comment 😂

[@davemurphy2356]

Super cool video. Try to get those back to Colorado or the Dakar.

[@thomasschofield6633]

these cars are sick, i want one

[@andrewwhite1305]

Very cool, i think Hoovie is making something similar to these cars

[@sohamdhamnaskar8340]

Can we all just agree that Porsche is the coolest automobile brand in existence.?

[@Queensizemusic]

Awesome

[@einfeldt777]

That was awesome, thank you for taking the time to make this video, useful no but who cares, 100% cool 😎 👍👍👍👍👍

[@ianlaughlin85]

I'm glad my wrangler doesn't make that much noise offroad.

[@andrewmcmillan8110]

Cantilever bracket needs beefed up. You can see it flexing at 12:03

[@cristianvergarapardo]

Greeting from CHILE 🇨🇱

[@gingerbreadsandwich]

The second you started driving that thing it sounded like it was going to fall apart, lol.

[@theunheardprophet4315]

Where does the banging noise come from? Is that the clicking noise that has been mentioned in the comments, i.e. the suspension bypass check valves?

[@markastor6740]

Will there’ll be another Dakar or a 992.2 safari option?

[@AdamHillikerLikesRobots]

lord the articulation is so sick; I would love to see a skinless version of it going through the obstacles so you could really observe the mechanicals doing their thing.

[@ThePsychokev]

I really enjoy your channel . Maybe try with Robby Layton on the paint job

[@markcole6475]

That clunking would drive me nuts….id probably fix it myself! 😂

[@stevey500]

5:40 Manual because DCT would be awful for off road obstacles and steep stop/starts. Hyundai/kia figured this one out. TFL especially knows this ;)

[@iAPX432]

The interest to use turbocharged engines on hight altitude is to be able to keep almost the same power than at sea level, given you use a huge enough turbo: at sea level it sill be under used, and the discharge valve will be used most of the time to limit the pressure, while at high altitude the turbo will be able to deliver the expected (sea-level) pressure.

[@davidkallstrom4349]

best porsche yet

[@KenLyns]

Same course as the 2024 Tacoma demo two months ago 😆

[@AJ-mk3cj]

It's pretty impressive to see a 911 doing the same terrain as a taco, considering those are amazingly capable offroad for a stock truck.

[@vincentohara2520]

Watching the suspension bracket flex............

[@jeffk464]

The ultimate Baja bug.

[@Tsxtasy1]

Doris the Exploris!!

[@estelja]

Do you have to pay extra for the '77 Gremlin squeaks and rattles?

[@vldon5931]

At the beginning ... is this the set from the walking dead ?? with the Ferris wheel where Michonne and Rick kill the walkers ??

[@ninchalla_creates]

One of my life goals is to build a Rally focused 911

[@RADEGARAGE1]

Woud the company sell it? Or would you build one more? Thanks

[@SomeGuysGarage]

Why no auto? Because they don't have torque converter auto's in the 911's, only the PDK dual clutch...not great for off road. Also, it's probably not the 4.0 liter boxer, it's the 3.0 liter out of the standard 911 GTS.

[@BaconCruiser]

What in the bucket of bolts was that horrendous noise during the drive? 8:48 It sounded like you were driving a car made of electric shavers while being pelted with rocks 😂

[@johnmeeboer6044]

If you watch it looks like the board with all the switches is moving and possible it is making the noise. The noise was happing when he was not moving over the first set of rocks

[@DKarGarage]

U should drive my 968 off road

[@SB-xu8pi]

When driving off road, you never need to be the tallest, but you never want to be the lowest.

[@Deltoro911]

They already built the perfect german engineering off roader. The cayenne and the touareg.

[@tkipiani91]

Can someone explain how does Porsche do their anniversaries? They had 70th anniversary 991 in 2022 and now they have 60Th?

[@doydoy5167]

Your shifting absolutely hurts my soul

[@estelja]

Does Doris' hood not close?

[@mitchellsteindler]

What is the banging lol

[@dennistate9951]

Broken Front CV Axle?

[@cars2drive298]

Common man, 22000 feet is nothing close to death zone 😂, death zone is 26 000 ft, awesome cars 😮

[@arnicus208]

What a rattle trap! That’s the best they could do?

[@Bluejeepkid1]

Lol damn that thing sounds terrible 😂

[@umah.]

It needs more sound deadening materials 😅

[@TheHitSquadOffroad]

You said Malibu huh? Must be a closed route.

[@scrappyjackalope9558]

Pretty sure Roman has climbed everest a few too many times..

[@charlesnickell7257]

I want one please porsche please make this available

[@thebees4371]

Hard to offroad for him.

[@05Dragon1]

LOL, way too much clutch

[@vldon5931]

THIS IS WHAT THOSE OVERPRICED 300K DAKKAR PORSCHES SHOULD HAVE BEEN...

[@markspence3750]

Tell the producer that the underlying bass note sucks. Just have no sound.

[@michaelrubin2240]

👍👍👍

[@christianglaude6659]

Sounds like it's falling apart

[@RichardVac]

That vehicle is no longer a 911. It's a totally modified vehicle for climbing mountains

[@dfwvtxman]

I'd drive it but only if I wore earplugs .

[@Hiflyg123]

I want one. Slowest Porsche setting a world record climb, I'm gonna say in the environment it's built for is the fastest vehicle running.

[@fsantaca]

Interesting definition of rock crawling.. at least do it when its wet. Any moderately capable vehicle could of done that trail lol. Nice shiny car tho

[@wayned3137]

Where is the rock?

[@KevinNiven]

Sounds like the car is getting hit by bullets.

[@manoloorz]

I wonder what a porsche minivan would look like

[@richardcampbell8685]

It’s called the cayenne lol

[@joshfoley8862]

Minivan ... not SUV.

[@khor9613]

Video not clear

[@GNARLIESTBOOTS]

That clunking noise 🤦‍♂

[@51KTM51Hurricane]

😂😂 It's like the People at Mount Everest. Sherpas doing it multiple Times every Day. ( Toyota Land Cruiser) And the Rich People with their High Tec equipment thinking they did something special! (Porsche 911 OffR version) 😂😂😂

[@lifeoutdoors3953]

No way it cost multi million. Don’t care what Porsche says. No way.

[@doublebackagain4311]

Oh you mean that they didn't try this with an EV? 🙃

[@johns2473]

It sounds like it's on tracks are you being pushed by a bulldozer

[@2.3_44XD--]

Comment that like most other comments here says bad stuff about this car

[@sonicstreamover9000]

WHY DON'T THEY SELL THESE?!

[@scaleaddicted]

Make this ELECTRIC, than it will be less complicated and had no issues with the oxygen…

[@Shamano37]

Cool, but does this 911 do any rock crawling that a stock toyota couldn't do? Most off road SUVs would do that same course no problem. Seems exaggerated to call this a rock crawling car

[@chh7681]

rock crawling 80kmh 911 is seriously missing a point

[@Chris.Davies]

21st century content, presented in an early 20th century framerate. Nauseating stuff whenever the camera moves. :(

[@psykology9299]

All this dudes info just got nullified by the absolute bs of saying manuals arent good offroad, every trucker in africa will choose the 90's manual MAN over a modern autobox

[@jvepps]

Iv seen a bone stock crown vic do more hardcore off roading than this...

[@ToeJammer-ge2zs]

Theres videos of a Vic running Hells revenge in Moab. Anything is good off road if you don't care about it. Cant say id take a 911 off road ever given the sticker price.

[@eRevere85]

Is this satire?

[@engir63]

Steer by wire and brake by wire is F-ing stupid it is something else to break and this one can kill you.

[@BlackJeepConvertible]

that was crap

[@drayray4009]

Pointless
