Porsche Type 114 - The First Porsche No One Knows

[@wfomph1435]

another wonderful production .simple , accurate and informative . thank you and keep up the good work

[@BSport320]

Much appreciated!

[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

I’m surprised Porsche didn’t use this bit of history to promote the Carrera GT. Or maybe it’s that obscure (and the fact that no running prototype exist) that most of the people at Porsche may not know of its existence.

[@AnttiBrax]

It's probably juuust a tad bit too closely tied to Hitler to be usable as marketing material. This subject is much more sensitive in Germany than foreigners usually think.

[@benkr]

you cant do that as a german brand. there are a LOT of shitstorms incoming

[@benkr]

@@AnttiBrax this

[@rkan2]

Just look at one of the recent Porsche marketing videos about it's history.. No mention about anything related to "The people's..."

[@HALLish-jl5mo]

Porsche should be proud of their WW2 work. Wasted a spectacular amount of time and resources building tanks nobody wanted, or ordered. Mr Porsche was so incompetent he avoids the problems other German manufacturers have of actually helping Hitler.

I absolutely love your videos about forgoten yet history significant cars, the production quality is always great too ! Thanks for the content :)

[@mj6463]

Great video as always. This is one of my favorite channels for your ability to fit so much high quality info in such a short time. God bless!

[@BSport320]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@iaidagger8278]

Very interesting for general Porsche enthusiasts as myself but more interesting for Porsche enfhusiasts that are Engineers as myself too😊😊 Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!😊😊

[@BSport320]

You are welcome!

[@mikedx2706]

Hey, you forgot to mention the first mass production mid-engined sportscar: the Porsche 914! More Porsche 914's were made and sold than any other Porsche single design sportscar until the Boxsters.

[@snowyren5135]

You are providing a totally interesting and fascinating account of the origins of many German cars today and of yesteryear. Having owned over 20 vw’s porsches bmw and Audis it is great to understand their backgrounds. Keep up the good work.

[@BSport320]

Glad it was useful and you enjoyed it!

Just some trivia, the type 64 never wore the Porsche name on it and it wasn’t all Porsche’s car as he was working with National Socialist Motor Corps on it under contract. He definitely designed it but it wasn’t a Porsche yet. The car in the pictures with the PORSCHE lettering was owned by Otto Mathé and one of my clients knew him personally. Otto added the PORSCHE lettering himself so it gets confusing to people that don’t know. Otto was famous for saying he might sell one of his cars, people would get very excited and he would never sell - a game some old kodgers play 😂

[@TassieLorenzo]

Very interesting film! Great to hear that Porsche were interested so many times in putting the engine in the "right" place, despite modern 911 traditions (albeit an engine that creeps ever further forward AFAIK)! 😃

[@alecbrown66]

It might be very obscure, but in the 114 you can see the root of that classic Portchester front end, and that unique Portchester silhouette. The drawings and model are almost like a thesis and degree project for car designers and engineers. And considering when it was carried out, it is a light year ahead of other designs around at the time, and even cars on the road after the war

[@felipesantossomavilla2320]

You missed the Porsche 914... It was the first mid-engined Porsche built for the road, almost 30 years before the Boxster.

[@iaidagger8278]

😊😊+1!!!😊yes Sir!!😊😊

[@banovsky]

Great overview! A number of years ago, I was able to ride along in Porsche No.1 (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqSUhWVnd62Lf80), as well as a 550 Spyder, and 914/6. While No.1 was obviously restored, jewel-like, and well-kept, if your eyes were closed it for sure sounded like a species of Beetle. I appreciate the connections to more modern Porsche cars, however, the company's strength is what it's able to engineer and produce, not what it has been able to theorize. Porsche had a huge advantage that its core engineering team were holdovers from the Nazi years, up until the '60s. A lot of that advanced research into aero, lightweighting, and engines became baked into the early 911 models, and the rest is history. I mean, who cares what Porsche *might* or *might have* done when its core menu has been so tasty? I really enjoyed the overview of the latest KTM; what about taking a look at unique cars from history from an engineering perspective: the Porsche B32, Dauer 962, anything Isdera, Panhard CD/LM64 (worked on by Colani), the Colani 700…hell, anything by Colani-he's being proven more and more correct as time goes on.

[@BSport320]

Thanks a lot! I actually just visited a Colani collection and followed him for many years. I will definitely cover certain Colani cars in the future!

[@gafrers]

Fantastic and wonderfully interesting. Thanks

[@BSport320]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@Cheeseatingjunglista]

Just discovered your Channel today, love it, subbed and already planning binge watch!!!

[@BSport320]

Thank you and welcome!

[@crowntug]

Great video! Could you make a video on the Cayman/Boxter?

[@nlpnt]

As an aside, that Berlin-Wolfsburg route was famous during the Cold War as one of the few Autobahn links between West Berlin and "mainland" West Germany, and the only one US, UK and French military personnel were allowed the use of by treaty with the Soviets and DDR. The border crossing was at Helmstedt a few km south of WOB, and at Dreilinden on the Berlin side with Ziesar having significance as a halfway point - military travelers who broke down or had trouble with the authorites were helped by the British detachment at Helmstedt west of Ziesar and by Americans based in Berlin east of it.

[@trance9158]

Excellent video

[@RalstigRacing]

You can certainly see the Beetle influence. Shame we never saw it built.

[@JoshuaC923]

Very interesting

[@rocketman1058]

Seen on of "these" in Hamburg Auto Museum (Automuseum PROTOTYP, Hildebrandtblock, Shanghaiallee, Hamburg-Mitte Hamburg, Germany)

[@masiosareanivdelarev562]

Interesting video

[@jamesengland7461]

Beautiful! But what were they thinking with a 1.5l V10?

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

Interesting video. I'm not sure a 1.5 litre V10 was ever going to be realistic. "Pourquoi faire simple, quand on peut faire compliqué ?" Next episode...the Cisitalia 360 (1.5 litre, flat 12 prototype mid-engined GP car, Hirth crank, sort of 4WD with a sequential gearbox) ?

[@feedingravens]

Well, Moto Guzzi built a 500 cc V8 - as V10 it would have had 625 cc. And the Honda NSR 500 engine is only officially a V4, because more than 4 cylinders were forbidden. if you look at the layout, it is practically a V8 where 2 pistons have been connected.

[@mochabear88]

neat

[@larsrons7937]

Wonderful story, I loved it. If I am ever gonna get injured in a car accident, it _must_ be with a *Porsche.* Otherwise I won't participate.

[@mosca3289]

Cool

[@jareknowak8712]

👍

[@grandcrowdadforde6127]

what a strange awesome looking car! but never produced...too bad!

[@dotpeat1372]

Seen the P64, protype museum, even convinced that there is stil a market for these cars. There are a few handcrafters (Indonesia) making them. Why the whole car scene is so lay back to its history is beyond me. Its about time manufacturers start to make more retro nice affordable cars iso this EV nonsense. Gteat upload

[@CoyoteEnix]

Isn't this type 64?

[@BSport320]

nope, it's the one before

[@carlnapp4412]

Deutsch ist doch so eine schöne Sprache.

[@VideoDotGoogleDotCom]

A 1,5 liter V10? Drool... The way I see it, of the modern Porsches, Boxster and Cayman are the ones that are the most true to the original "Porsche idea". Yes, the 911 family has a fantastic pedigree, but it's just not the same. As for the Carrera GT, I've always considered it a bit ugly and overengineered. For sure it's a perfect "engineer's sports car", but it just lacks that human touch. To each their own, I suppose.
