Porsche 930 Turbo | The Big Thing with Magnus Walker - Ep. 03

[@donjuan150]

More Magnus Walker we need his passion in our lives!

[@donjuan150]

@@Panthercholo There is nothing wrong with appreciating and sharing someone's passion....

[@Panthercholo]

@@donjuan150 Perhaps it's a matter of wording. I have as much passion and enthusiasm for classic cars and motorsport as anyone. I'd never say I need another man's passion in my life. I could sure use some of his money, but not passion.

Gotta say, the production values are amazing here. Great shots.

[@PowerslideSWE]

Photo is amazing, the sound editing not so much, I can hardly hear Magnus, the background music is far too loud.

[@XavierEyez]

Larry Chen coordinated the shots!

[@counterbalancecycles]

@@XavierEyez Yass machine gun Larry!

[@Jeff-xz8ut]

Id also argue the audio is awful here, Magnus is quiet and sounds like he's being recorded via phonecall.

[@abwjr426]

With Larry Chen being the director of photography, I imagine it’d be tough to end up with bad footage

[@manuell8118]

As an owner of an '86 930 3.3 Strosek black on black I completely agree. There is no other car like it. Would not trade it for any new Porsche or any other car. Every time you drive it is a memorable experience that you actually remember. The ownership of this car is a life changing experience. You will experience good and bad times (when something breaks). A childhood hero that you should meet. Stay boosted!

[@19ebenezer77]

Hagerty killing it. Great shots of the Porsche in Downtown. Magnus is an OG.

[@thomas2857]

I always try not to overdo it. But this video is in my eyes up to now the best video about Porsche 911. Great shots of his silver 930, sweeping through "wintry" and empty L.A. at night, short historical outline, some technical data and that pumping 80s beats in the background, just the way I love it. It definitely sets an audiovisual monument to the 930 like no other video before! To put it in Magnus' words: keep boosted. Couldn't say it better...

[@florto24]

The 930 has something that many other cars lack, speed, design, character, timelessness, sound. Modern cars might look like spaceships. But this thing looks like perfection. It was made to be the fastest and now is admired because its no longer very fast but its still something to look up for. True timelessness. A testamony that striving for perfection is worth the effort.

[@ast3rickk31]

I dunno man, I’d say it’s still pretty fast

[@SmashGhost]

Modern cars lack speed? They lack "design" (by which you likely mean style). They lack sound, as if a 9,000rpm GT3 isn't far better sounding than the vacuum cleaner 930... I think you need to approach commenting with some a sense of factual comparison instead of nostalgia-powered unthinking keyblasting.

[@billystutz55]

Its still fast, 0-60 mph is 5 seconds in the later models.

[@JDMEVOVIGSR]

@@SmashGhost you need to learn how to think and read critically.

[@AnotherMotorist]

These looked like spaceships/UFO to me back in the day since everything was a box green house and seeing a round 930 in silver really drew home the ufo/spaceship look. Though I loved it then and still now.

[@tadams100]

"Stay boosted, my friends!" Great line.

The night drive through the late hours in the city feels special, especially when there’s no traffic, it’s my kind of ASMR

[@Darknamja]

I love driving late or early depending on your perspective. I usually leave the house at 3:00am for a 2 and a half-hour commute to be at work by 6:00 am. It is truly the best time to be on the road. 😉

[@denseljosephs9500]

I was lucky enough to drive one of these 32 years ago on a 200 mile delivery across the country to a Porsche car dealership .I've wanted one ever since. They boss the road even just driving them slowly they feel special .

[@raidenout1515]

I'm a air-cooled vw fan with 5 personal pre 67 models under my garage roof over the years. I did a color change resto on a 69 911 ( obviously NA ) even with no turbo it was still a great car . The owner was a sport and let me drive it as much as I wanted . At the time I live on pch in Huntington Beach and drove it pretty frequently. Fun car even with low power due to curb weight. Love that air-cooled sound .

[@geemanbmw]

@@raidenout1515 air cooled sound can never ever be matched ❤🎶...100% agree . People should just KZbin porsche air cooled sounds and they will be hooked

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

This car carries itself like nothing else. I love the halo rims.

[@BPF80MCar-vi1pg]

It looks super good in dark green

[@ethankishi4228]

My love of Porsche came about when my mom told me stories about her working for Robert Redford and washing his turbo carerra. She said he owned a targa version, and to hear that he may have spec’ed this one but didn’t take delivery, brings my love full circle. Thank you for this!

[@SisypheanTragedy]

Hands down one of the top 5 videos on KZbin. Cinematography, narration, music, second to none!

[@rjnation5042]

3am in the morning & hell yeah I'm watching Magnus talking Porsche Turbo, special impressive tastefully simple, Rj in Oz

[@MiguelRuiz-up2ls]

What amazing detail, I Shazammed the last song and what a surprise!!!

[@PCH_Silver_Surfer]

This is one of the very best car videos. This has character, conveys the spirit of the car, and it was beautifully shot where this car belongs. Good stuff Magnus.

[@m0stafa]

What a production! great job from the team behind this, lovely episode for a unique car.

[@bavariancarenthusiast2722]

Thank you Magnus for living the dream of...like 90% of us. You taste and love of cars is legend. This video is different then the others, its an extension of your body and mind - the others were interesting cars. This car not only defined Porsche but also Magnus Walker. Great!

[@billmalcolm8391]

Brilliant! Sent chills down my spine. I “met” you one morning a couple weeks ago on Palmetto walking your dog. Love your work and your passion for these beautiful, exhilarating machines.

[@broskimedula5300]

Those of us born in the 80s and raised in the 90s will appreciate the synthwave background music. Great production as always.

[@csj9619]

This is THE first car that I can remember really making an impression on me as a kid. The silver paint color, the roofline, the headlights all added up to what I thought (and still think) is the best looking car ever produced.

[@michaelschmalz8722]

Truly an icon. I own an 87 930 and love it to death. Analog all the way but one of the first true super cars!

[@vGnome]

OK so that was amazing. Porsche, night driving, Synthwave music, Magnus awesome narration. This will be viewed many times by myself.

[@GeneralLee1961.3]

The ultimate Porsche! I fell in love with this car in 1976, when I was 15 years old and this love still lasts!!! The most beautiful “turbo” ever ❤️

[@chriscarbaugh3936]

Wow, another great video. I recently sold my modded / boosted 930 to fund a Longhood resto. But damn I miss her. Bigger turbo, brakes and more suspension, not to mention sticky 335 out back make the car so much “better” than stock. To use an overused word: Epic! I recently bought a nice man 997 X51 to fill a gap until the modded ‘71 is ready w near enough 380 hp you would think it’s fast “enough” … but no. The old 930 fast or whatever it was left you with a feeling that you knew it was possibly your last drive! Scary, fast, exciting that is what an aircooled Turbo is. If you haven’t driven one you will not get it. Stay boosted 👍😎

[@evaanahmed9289]

The music scores of this video are so spot on! Been a while since I watched an entire video at 1× playback speed.

[@victorlgcarvalho]

No Man's Land is the first movie I think about when I see this car. Lovely!

[@amberheardsbumpyknuckles9336]

In high school I used to skip unnecessary periods (gym) and go check out all the used car dealerships in a 20 mile radius. One had an eclectic foreign inventory with a gorgeous 70's yellow 912. That's when I fell in love with Porsches. It was quite small not very powerful (flat 4?) But my lord it had a presence... "Test drove" it every chance they'd give me... Saved enough newspaper (Remember those?) money for a sizeable down payment- bloody insurance said no way in Hades. Still dream of it, as you can tell. Timeless designs... So strange how huge 911's are today compared with the earlier years, positively massive, yet hide it well. Cheers!

[@MrReese]

Those drives at night with the image quality, the music, the Magnus storytelling...absolutely stunning. And you got the right car to go with it!

[@8888swatt]

I'm not a 911 guy but that was a brilliant film - thanks. "No bad angle" says it all - the 930 looks fantastic and I never get tired of looking at it.

[@philipprosapio2295]

Great video. Although, my jaw dropped when you described your vehicle with the Vin number 15 being the first sold in the US in 1976. I just purchased Vin number 17 1976 turbo but, did not understand the Porsche VIN numbering system. I think that means this car is number three! thanks for the lesson. Phil Prosapio Minnesota

[@alexbritch02]

I own a 1996 Saab 9000 Aero. It's Similar to this car in performance & that's one reason I bought it, I've had a love for the 930 since I was 15 & after 5 years I want it more than ever. I've fallen in love with the Saab despite the small issues it has, it handles brilliantly, It's 0-60 is 6 seconds with a top speed of 142MPH, It has some decent turbo lag unless you time it correctly, it takes a decent amount of pressure on the pedal to stop & as you said, it's an engaging feeling that makes you fall in love. The 930 Turbo will forever be my dream Porsche & I hope one day I can hop into one. For now I have my non Porsche, Swedish Porsche!

"A car that requires a committed driver" - My favorite line in this video. EXCELLENT work Magnus and Hagerty team! Keep bringing us more of this!

I drove a 1980 Porsche 930 Turbo on Pacific Coast Highway after installing new tires on it... I will never forget that day....an incredible car that's wicked fun to drive ...I still get goosebumps just thinking about it

[@shafferjoe1962]

I think I wased in 15 or 16 when I read about the 930 Turbo. From that day till now, it is my dream car. I love the look of the mid 70 and 80 911 and 930 turbo cars. That is my goal is to own one, and drive it like I have in my head, for all these years. Thank you Magnus.

[@Mustafa.00]

You've probably heard this a lot, but the Hagerty team is doing an incredible job. Especially in the "The Big Thing" video series. I really look at the screen with fascination in every new episode and after the video ends, I find myself looking at car classifieds sites. I would love to see a goddamn Zonda in the "The Big Things" video series. We know they are quite numerous in California.

[@jamesmisener3006]

My boss in the 70s had one and knew it inside and out. Did all the work himself on it and probably still has it. We lived in a small town and that was the wickest ride in town. Cheers 🇨🇦

[@mischakachler4881]

Great video about the car I also fell in love with as a kid. Great photography, writing, music and narration. I, too, wrote to Porsche as a kid and they were kind enough to respond to me, too. Such a cool thing for a car company to do! The silver 930 Turbo with whale tail and the black stone guard decals on the rear wheel flares. Beautiful. Some day I'll have one, too...I continue to dream.

[@davidraezer5937]

The Porsche 930 may have been the first production car made by Porsche to sell in America but the Corvair was the first successful production turbo car sold in America from 62-66. Yes, I know Oldsmobile did it in 62 as well but it was a fail. I remember driving the owners 76 930 when it was needing exercise. Had to laugh about the turbo lag. Yes, driving a 930 requires calculations. It’s a car that challenges your math skills and you better be right and on top of things. Such was the case driving any early 911 before tire stagger. I like driving cars you need to have some fear and respect for. My personal preference though is a early 911 with Weber or mechanical injection. The sounds it makes. The raw mechanical feel and precision. Few cars can match and a joy to have experienced.

[@05gtdriver]

Magnus is referring to his silver Porsche 930 in the video being the first production U.S. version of the Turbo Porsche model being sold in the U.S..

[@930Tony]

I've got a late '77 and while it's true they were restricted with emissions controls and low boost, they respond very well to free-flow exhaust and an intercooler. Just removing the destructive smog system and adding the Euro exhaust does wonders and with headers, K27, intercooler and 1 bar it's as fast as a manual 991 gt3. Good vid.
