Porsche 911S | Vintage

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

Porsche philosophy was winning:producing sport cars yet fully driveable in everydays' commuting,whatever the traffic,the weather,the season. So,a tough and entertaining companion for demanding drivers.Possibly the best value/economy/performance/reliability ratio ever available on four wheels.

40 years old. Ahead of its time.

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

This should be a 2200/S 180 bhp...raw power and amazing performance coupled with great reliability and easy daily use,with little servicing costs. Great piece of machinery indeed.

[@emmaflies199]

I like the appearance of the new ones. They do look a bit different, and both look excellent, just in their own ways.

[@RobertNuttmann]

I owned a 1967 911S Targa in 1971 for a couple years. At first I lived in Santa Barbara and the Porsche went for fast drives with the top off up the coast. That was fun. One time while going no more than 35 mph on the UCSB campus there was a fairly sharp corner and I lifted off the accelerator. The car went right into a snap spin that was about 360 degrees. It was unexpected and there was no recovering it once it started to go. In this model of Porsche this is not a small thing and could get you in real trouble. I had previously owned typical US made cars like a 1969 Firebird convertible with a 400 HO motor and 4 speed. Foreign ones like 1957 MGA. A 1956 Alfa Guillietta. And so on. All of these cars were much more forgiving in their handling than the 911S. I then moved to Los Angles to work and the Porsche became significantly less fun to drive. No air conditioning. Very noisy. In my personal opinion if I were looking to buy a classic Porsche 911 I would look to a later model where the rear end was under better control and the fuel injection was good. And air conditioning was an option.

[@swunt10]

the newest one is absolutely perfect. it looks great and it stands true to the 911 badge. the only car you ever need. that is what 911 is all about.

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

My 1983 3.0 Targa is fine with me. I put the Recarro racing seats in and added the slotted rotors. I was getting worried that nothing was going wrong with it. One thing you do want to do it tune up the engine timing and chains. About every 3 years that should be done. It is such a fine car you will never feel like you have to prove anything ever again.

[@charlesmiller6281]

The one thing that bugs me is when the guy says a new 911 is just a face lifted version. Even the air-cooled 993 is much more than that, with completely different suspension with coil overs instead of torsion bars, ABS brakes, vastly improved engine, transmission, heater and AC, on and on. Its actually one of the more amazing aspects of the 911, the extent to which newer models use advanced engineering yet remain faithful to Ferry Porsches original timeless design.

[@SpawnyWhippet]

Only 50,000 Euros today? Try 200,000 Euros for a good 911S today

[@wadey1432]

Yep, wish I had bought one ten years ago ! Too pricey now !

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

Well,not a personal belief:I owned the whole mech.fuel inject. production:2000/S 170bhp,2200/S 180bhp,2400/S 190bhp all of them redlined around 7200/7300.You can check on any vintage 911 database:actually the gap was not so wide between 2000 and 2200:the 2400 offered a remarkably stronger torque and that was the main difference one could appreciate,in everyday's driving. I'm talking of stock engines.I remember the 2000/S being uptuned to 210 bhp for racing purposes but that's another story.

Beauty of a car! Love you

[@sagethomashablian9473]

Great video

[@DWREV]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@kiwigt3]

Stunning!!!

[@ScumbagMafia]

I just had the honor of recovering a very early Irish Green 911 all original car #302226. After sitting in a barn for over 20 years it was up and running in less than 48 hours, a true testament to the great Doctors love and passion for the automobile. I have documented the story on my channel of how a 39 year old kid found one of the earliest ground breaking vehicles of all time.

[@SergJovanov]

No no dont get me wrong i dont know very much about cars. In fact im driving a rusty old Yugo. It has a 55 hp engine and it can go about 140 kmph on an open highway. I dream about driving one of those high powered cars with no tuning issues. My next door friend has a bmw... The thing is violent, i love it :D

[@ofuel]

Porsche is the best car ever made. I am a real American, and I will give you the HONEST truth. GM will NEVER catch up. The German cars kick butt on anything GM can try to come up with. Sure there are more powerful, more expensive cars, but they will never beat the 911. NEVER. Sorry! I have driven lots of cars... my 911 just leaves me begging for more. When I drive my GMC, I just want to drive my 911 MORE.

[@nevermindimjustapasserby]

I can only dream of it... 😂

[@miles514]

my dream car...

[@ClickToPreview]

miles514 That 911S dream car sits in my driveway... on jacks. Anyone gimme 24,000 US for it? Haha just kidding... just putting in a new fuel pump check valve ($22) and changing the plugs and wires (I live in TX and it has vapor-lock issues in this torrid heat, and one day I will get the synchros for 1,2,3 gear re-done. Ok, ok, gimme $25,000 and it's YOURS... if you're lucky.

[@sylviebertran8201]

amazing car

[@MrStabby19812]

Exactly and the car is over 40 nearly 50 years old.

[@SergJovanov]

Well here you first go trough a driving school. Its just driving around with a teacher in a school car. Then when you go trough that than you can take a test, first on paper, then on the road. Ones you passe the 2 tests you get your learners license. Its what you said you call newly licenced driver. But, you first have to drive with a more experienced driver for a year. It can be anyone who has a regular driving license more than 5 years. Oh and the time rules are applied in Serbia 2 :)

[@dippy2482]

Is this a short wheel base 1968 911 S? Nice car!

[@Supcharged]

love it...

[@jorologo]

Sorry to disappoint you Pal. American Cars such as Camaro and Corvettes are cool cars. As for the rest there isn't much the American cars have in style. Not too many of cars Made in USA get exported in large numbers. German cars have always been the benchmark of world class cars made with great styling and performance. Any other USA cars that did look good were older Fords and Chevys made in the 1950's.

[@gkh50]

15litres/100km... god I would love that beats my 35/100km when giving my v12 the beans.. but its a car you either love or hate and the old originals have an artistic look about them. lovely

[@Chris.Davies]

The 2.0S with mechanical fuel injection was 190BHP. What makes you think the 2.2 was weaker? o_O

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

2000S short wheelbase 160hp carbs 2000S mech. inject.long wheelbase 170hp 2200S " " " " " " '' 180hp 2400S " " " " " " " 190hp (the very last units (1973)of the 2400S got the 2700 mech.injection pump fitted,and a 7/8 hp in excess of 190 was likely to be the actual output increase. Owned all of them in the 80/90es and they were still great performers (2200/2400 were even keeping up with the same class current production).

[@simontemplar6492]

German cars the best of the best 911 a leaving icon car and a dream for most people

[@chriskappert1365]

The first one with the chroom all around , to me still the best looking ! High builtquality , doors that shut like a volt , aircooled 6 cylinder that sounds like Tina Turner on steroids .. ... Does it get better than this evergreen ?

[@stuballs42]

I like my, 356 Porsche

[@ClickToPreview]

Stu Stewart Did I like the movie Mr. Destiny on its own merits, or because he fell in love with the Porsche 550 Spider.

[@TAXCOLLECTOR-mx3mg]

Nice yes, but once you own a 911 you might feel different.

[@rahulgosh1]

- ... wht word of 'Vintage' you don't understand ?

[@tallgringo1]

LISTEN UP YA'LL THIS IS SABOTAGE! rest in peace MCA

[@SergJovanov]

Haha Yugo's are from Serbia, so am i. Thay stopped producing it 6 or 7 years ago i think. Yeah it is pretty weak and the factory made just one sport model, if u can cal it that :D. I think its Yugo F something i forgot but i do know that it runs a little smoother and faster. I dont care im now 18 years old and to be honest nobody that young should drive big, faster cars sure i would love to but you know :D... The 911 is an old car and i have a feeling its not really easy to get ;).

[@4570fanatic]

lol that plastic car was a 90s silverado only reason it stopped acceleratin was the blue lights

[@AhilMohan]

This car is 30 years old.. Even a 90's porsche could hit over 300kph Comparing a chevy to a porsche.. lets just not go there... Also your bro got caught? lol.. you must be so proud..

[@1975MAICO1975]

I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERYDAY ... IN A VIDEO GAME ...

[@davidviner4932]

And then a 246 Dino drove past and then the 911 owner realised he has the wrong car :)

[@normand5847]

Then the 911 owner drove past the Dino, broke down on the side of the road, and once again realized he was in the right car.

[@INDIGOBLUE555]

@@normand5847 .....while giving the Dino owner a ride to the nearest car repair shop... Owned a dozen 911s and yet being preowned cars I never felt I made the wrong choice.

[@psyQuan]

KZbin's new layout sux.........

[@SergJovanov]

So ur from the US hah. I know the law is different there. Here in SRB you are not allowed to drive before 18. You can go trough school when you are 16 but you cant drive till 18. Not by your self that is :).

[@FabianvanOosteroom]

In Germany you are

[@RedlightExpressMovie]

and you're not even allowed to go that fast, so this comment is a fail

[@1954telecaster]

i'm surprised that such a small engine consumes so much fuel

[@Eatinbritches]

It's a high revving engine and probably has shorter gear ratios, meant for acceleration rather than saving fuel.

[@azikara]

Watched 1:20 of this and, really? 911s oversteer? Ridiculous. They understeer in stock form. Every 911 enthusiast knows this. When you lift mid-corner, they will oversteer but then you just put your foot down and the rear hooks back up. That's the beauty of a 911. I wish media wasn't so misleading. Don't let this temper the passion for what is arguably the finest sports car ever made.

[@jlb-gj2fh]

have you ever driven one?

[@ToD3Azor]

lol

[@4570fanatic]

german cars must suck, 136 mph is their fastest car? my bro got caught doin 140 in his chevy

Yes germans cars suck. American car are world famous for build qaulity and handling.
