It’s not cabriolet…it’s cabriOOOOOOlet. 😆

[@CarsLifeYT]

Ok this is the best one! 😂😂😂

[@danieldravot341]

It’s cabriolet, not cabri ole’.

[@nicoroehr]

Since we are talking German cars, in my German mother language the last 'e' is emphasized, not the 'o'.

[@danieldravot341]

@@nicoroehr, but cabriolet is a French word . . .

[@nicoroehr]

@@danieldravot341 yes, and we Germans speak it the French way...

[@KITT500]

They way he says “Cabri-O-let” was driving me nuts.

[@CarsLifeYT]

The good news is I’ll never say it like that again!

[@Bimmerstye1]

The same for "Aye-barth". It's "A-barth". Like "A-merica"...

[@CarsLifeYT]

@@Bimmerstye1 Very helpful, thanks!

[@danieldravot341]

The 914/8 was the first road legal PORSCHE car to use an eight cylinder engine, not the first road legal car to use an eight cylinder engine.

[@redriver15262]

i lost count of how many times he said "Cabree- Òle" lmaooo

[@CarsLifeYT]

😂😂 I fixed that pronunciation now!

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

Big omission of the 968 Turbo RS (or even the Turbo S). Rarer than a bunch on this list.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Yup, the 968 Turbo S could’ve made this list for sure.

[@chaselovesbecca]

is that a street legal car?

[@CarsLifeYT]

@@chaselovesbecca The RS isn’t, no.

[@JVR_Funwithdesign]

@@chaselovesbecca I believe that at least a couple of the four Turbos RS are street driven. The Turbo S for sure is street legal.

[@DavidSmith-ve5kj]

935, I was an instructor for Metro Porsche Club and another instructor in the red group had one. Driving behind him was quite the experience Especially during deceleration The entire back of the car would explode in a flame. Loved that car.

[@CarsLifeYT]

That’s awesome! Must’ve been amazing to see that in person.

[@tayljordan]

Great job. Thanks for the video.

You're missing more exclusive Porsche's like the 962 road legal in Japan or the 917 from Count Rossi.

[@oddbjornbro]

Great Porsches. Liked them all 😊 There was also made 9 Porsche 911 Turbo Flatbau Targa, in 1989, that can be in the list of rare Porsches😊

[@bellenvideo5629]

🤩 Wow 🥰 Thank you 🙏

[@CarsLifeYT]

No problem! Glad you liked it :)

[@GeorgesMiniatureCars]

I love Porsches, they’re all my favourite! The 911 Club Coupe is Cool. Just subbed!✌🏻

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@hectorfuji]

Oh man, I expecting the black flat nosed 911 from Condorman to be in this list 😄

[@kurtbarrett6785]

Man, that Abarth is friggin beautiful! It's also almost a little mean looking, which I never would have guessed possible, with anything based on the early "old man" lookin Porche...

[@CarsLifeYT]

It sure is! Love that design. Abarth did a great job on it.

[@rodval99]

Immediately follow ;)

[@marksaxby607]

Got to love the 935 road car, but I also really like the Abarth and there's something very appealing about a 914 with an 8 cylinder engine!

[@CarsLifeYT]

Agreed. The Abarth and 935 are very different style-wise, but both are great. I think I might like the 935 slightly more.

[@carspottervincent]

wow really good video I'm a big prosche fan myself but I really didn't know the existence of a few

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@MdSiraj-ud8yc]

964 Turbo Cabriolet 🥰🥰🥰🥰😍

[@onkouth]

Great work, Porsche made some amazing limited run cars and you have found a nice collection of them. The one I would have loved to have seen on here is the 1989 Harm Lagaay designed Panamericana, I assume it’s probably because it was a genuine one off made for Ferry’s 80th birthday and likely never made it onto the road. It’s an awesome car tho so worth a mention in any future videos 👍😎

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thank you! And that’s a great car! I actually left out a decent number of street version Porsches that were pretty limited run. Could certainly make another video at some point.

[@onkouth]

@@CarsLifeYT thank you, your efforts are greatly appreciated and i hope you continue making such quality videos 😎👍

[@CarsLifeYT]

@@onkouth Much appreciated, it seriously means a lot to me! I’m glad people are enjoying my videos :)

[@ciddax754]

I would not laugh about that meager 70hp as the car is very light and had great handling. That is the reason how they won that many races. A good power to weight ratio is much more important then power alone. And a good handling in curves helps on the track a lot.

[@markhaas9159]

993 Speedster! I could see myself driving that car every day! I don't see another car in the list that would be as versatile for daily driving, but maybe the 991 Club Sport. Still prefer that air-cooled 993, over the 991.

[@Segreto374]

thank you for this video. as an absolut porsche fan boy i have to admit that i did not know every car in this list. here are my top 5 porsches: (not in particular order aswell) 1. Porsche 908 bergspyder ( the one on my profile pic is driven by my grandpa) 2. Porsche 964 RS Cup 3. Porsche 997 GT3 RS 4.0 l 4. Porsche 356 speedster GT 5. Porsche 917 streetcar ( i think that only two of them exist) 6. Porsche 910 7. Porsche 944 GTS 8. Porsche 968 L`ART 9. Porsche 996 Turbo S in white 10. Porsche 993 GT (GT2)

[@CarsLifeYT]

No problem, glad you enjoyed it! That’s a great list. The 908 is awesome.

[@sesto194]

The porsche 911GT1 Strassenversion definetly deserves a place on this list too

[@CarsLifeYT]

It definitely does. I think production numbers are slightly higher than the rest of these though, 25 I think?

[@iainmorrison9048]

Pretty sure I spoke to a Monegasque prince in a 993 speedster in Monaco, but I definitely know one of the 993 Turbo Cab's as I've seen it on the streets where I live. Both beautiful!

[@CarsLifeYT]

In Monaco? That’s a definite possibility. Very cool!

[@marcblau7507]

I would have to go with the 1967 911 R, it sure is a candidate for that list, too

[@aubryandre8013]

993 are insane

[@johnmoser2689]

The 935 street is super cool but it's hard to pick a favorite

[@joakimsundberg7622]

Now I can´t stop saying CabriOlé ;) Tanks!

[@CarsLifeYT]

😂😂 No problem!

[@supervette9953]

Gemballa Avalanche is my all time fav Porsche

[@CarsLifeYT]

The Avalanche is really cool. Very stand out for Porsche.

[@dislike7973]

935 street looks like the one who drives it is the son of devil love it :)

[@alainbelanger4547]

935 Street look great Souvenir. Racing: They were racing in Trans Am was raining Turbo gap big power surge the front wheels was lifted : Mighty

[@ciddax754]

There is a street legal 917 around. It was made in preparation for Le Mans if I remember correctly. But in the end the car was used for racing only and the parts for street legality (rear view mirrors, turnlights etc.) removed again. It is now located in South Africa.

[@CarsLifeYT]

I did a bit of reading into it when someone else brought it up, I believe there were 2 street legal 917s. One for Count Rossi and the other is the Martini one. I don’t know about the second, but the first wasn’t an official Porsche conversion.

[@randallbakken660]

1986 Porsche 911 Turbo Gemballa "Avalanche" ! How could anyone forget?

[@mrwhiteshorts]

Was the Porsche 930 and 930 Pikes Peak not rare? Cheers for the cool video. m

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thanks! The 930 itself, no. Production numbers were over 18k for the newer 3.3 liter and 200 shy of 3k for the 3.0.

[@Mr-db6gn]

Another great one. Gotta go with the 935 street that just looks weird and wicked

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thanks! And agreed, it’s a very unique design from Porsche.

[@jonasirw1]

I’ll take one of each, thank you.

[@CarsLifeYT]

That’d be a nice Christmas haha!

[@corporatehousing5452]

I’ll take two of each, thank you.

[@joecampbell4199]

You missed the Porsche 935 build for Walter wolf. Only street-legal Porsche 935 Kremer made.

[@CarsLifeYT]

I did, that’s an awesome car though.

[@lawsonaudu8906]

The abarth design one was my favorite

[@jamesjefferson6670]

I love the speedster at #10 but i would choose the 991 club coupe

[@CarsLifeYT]

I love the green on the club coupe.

[@kentbeitel9966]

I love that Koenig c62 (Porsche 962)

[@douglasnyhof1565]

Thought I’d get to see a 1980 slantnose turbo.

[@shazeebmw]

935 mansure car wow but i love all

[@huatongleong3674]

The 1981 911 Turbo Flat nose which I referred is the first version with bumper mount headlights and 52 numbers were built.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Ah got it, thanks. Still a slightly higher run than the others listed here and I definitely left out some other 1 of 1s and other lower production runs.

[@OggaDugga]

Surprised the GT1 is not on the list.

[@CarsLifeYT]

It could’ve definitely made the list, I believe the street version had 20 or so units? That’d be on par with a couple of these. Very cool car.

[@nicoroehr]

My choice would be the 911 SC/RS 3.0 street version. The only model in the list that had a Group B license (FIA homologation number 3062)

[@glazedegyptian]

Sold a 16 911 Club Coupe in Porsche's beautiful Club Blau color. PCA members had to put their name in a hat and be randomly selected to spec one out. Pretty sure it's based on the 911 GTS, not the 911 S. Then there's also the 991.2 Endurance Racing Edition. The 991.1 50th anniversary These are personally my favorites.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Very cool and that IS a gorgeous color. Absolutely love blue on an exterior. One of my favorites.

[@ekklipse]

My favorite rare Porsche is the 906. Not exactly 'rare' compared to the ones in this list, but pretty exclusive nonetheless.

[@davidbloom5460]

993 GT2 for starters!

[@CarsLifeYT]

993 GT2 is great. I think they were a slightly higher run than the cars here, though. About 57 of them.

[@aminman15]

The Jerry Seinfeld move was a great move from Porsche.

[@aminman15]

Also a cabriyolay

[@gerdhermann752]

964- and 993 Speedster. "Dear Santa...."

[@CarsLifeYT]

Ooh, me too. I’ve been good this year! If it’s not too much to ask I’d like to throw in a Carrera GT.

[@Paul_VanGo]

Carbri-Olé 🌮

the rare 1997 Porsche 996 GS Carrera

[@danielcalvert2700]

I believe that a year ago, I got the chance to see a mid '50s Porsche 356 Continental GT Cabriolet. can someone tell me how rare that might be?

[@busterhymen6224]

My favorite porsche is the 968

[@carlosneves8704]

Porsche 993 Speedster / Porsche 964 Turbo Cabriolet

[@dokivoid]

Oh yes don't forget the never ending different type of Porsche that has the same car

[@CarsLifeYT]

Porsche has seemed to find a pretty common style that works well for them and is in a way also a sense of brand identity. I do wish they would take more risks and stray from their pattern as the times they do they make some really great looking cars (not saying modern Porsches don’t look good!). Alas, I don’t see that happening outside of the rare occasion.

[@huatongleong3674]

You miss out the 1981 911 Turbo Flat noise !

[@CarsLifeYT]

Missed quite a few actually haha. But they made upwards of 900 Flachbaus from what I’ve read. Tried to list just Porsches with the lowest production numbers.

[@erikarneberg11]

Good video, nice amount of detail & technical facts, but you do need to work on your pronunciation, such as cabriolet or Abbarth…

[@CarsLifeYT]

Thanks, I fixed my pronunciation for cabriolet. A few people pointed out Abarth as well. Didn’t think that was off but guess so!

[@williambiddle1134]

935 dp!

[@joshthemediocre7824]

I love every porsche, and every porsche is rare relatively speaking. Some of these prices are crazy especially when any new porsche will outperform all the rare beauties from the past. I'd rather have a 2022 turbo s than any of them.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Nothing wrong with that! Love the Turbo S.

[@BIBIWCICC]

Just a helpful hint. You are pronouncing coupe and cabriolet incorrectly.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Seems so! I’ve picked up those pronunciations hearing them that way most of my life. I know coupe is like ‘coo-pay’, but nobody I know in the US actually pronounces it that way. I’m going to adjust pronunciation of both words for future vids.

[@iREALmedia]

And yet each one looks exactly the same as the next.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Pretty standard of Porsche. I do like the Porsche design, but the times they venture out of their usual is when they create some of the coolest looking cars.

[@RAHellemans]

Where is the road version of the 917 made for Mr Martini?

[@songgreaty3338]

Looking for a 1959Jan Porsche 356

[@michaelc.ateoate979]

Forgot 928 stretch built for Ferdinand.

[@donaljamescaddye3805]

The 911 SC/RS was a homogatuin special to get the 911 into group B rallying ! Dave Richards from Prodrive ran the cars - They were very sucessful here in Ireland with Henri Toivonen Billy Coleman and Saeed Al Hajari to name but a few - cars ran in 84 and 85. Great times and really suitable for Irish roads ! You will have to ask about Cathal CB Curley who in the 70s was unbeatable in a 2.7 RS 911 and later a 3.0 RSR 911

[@airworthy777]

935 ‘street’ has the most striking looks for me. It’s sad that they cannot make the same thing to the new 911. Sure they bring back the 935 but not this bad boy (the ‘street’ version).

[@CarsLifeYT]

Agreed. It’s my favorite one here as well.

[@griffins5655]

When I was a kid my father owned a 1/2 prototype Speedster originally _______ (designed by isn’t the right word, neither is built) so I’ll just leave it blank, essentially the idea was first thought of and planned out by Al Holbert, but he died before he could finish creating it, so it was finished by a close friend of his and some of Holbert’s mechanics from his dealership. The car was a heavily modified 1982 Targa, and kept to the original concept of what a Speedster should be: ie it was completely stripped out, without windows (except for the windshield) rear seats, ac, etc etc. By the end of the day the modifications made the car 400 lbs lighter, and it ran a quarter mile time about as fast as the 911 Turbos of the day. Ofc this was never a Porsche design, so it would probably be more apt to call it an Outlaw Speedster, but idk 🤷… All I know is that my dream is to one day be able to buy the car back from its current owner as my father is no longer alive to do so.

[@CarsLifeYT]

That’s awesome, love the dream too. Best of luck in being able to do so one day! Hope you can get it back.

[@griffins5655]

@@CarsLifeYT Thanks 😊, I managed to track the cars down to one owner in Virginia but seeing as I’m only 18 I’m not exactly in a position to buy my dad’s car back yet 😅, someday though…

[@CarsLifeYT]

@@griffins5655 Sure thing, that’s a great goal to have. You’re still pretty young so you’ve got time, keep that goal in sight, work hard towards it, and hopefully it’ll pay off! I’m envious! I wish I had a goal to work towards when I was 18 but I honestly didn’t really get my life together until my mid 20s haha.

[@timharper3390]

I’ve never heard “cabriolet” pronounced that way, or near that often. I checked 6 different pronunciations sites, and all of them emphasize the first syllable, including the digital announcer that also sounded out the “T”. Can’t find any phonetic or spoken versions that put the emphasis on the “O” as this commentator chooses to do. I’ve surely been incorrect on words previously, but I believe the entire world, aside from this gent, tend to say “KA-brree-o-lay”. Hell, I’ll even go for “ka-bree-o-LAY”, if you’re French.

[@CarsLifeYT]

Yeah, I’ve been corrected on that quite a few times! Since then I’ve changed my pronunciation of both that word and coupe. I now say it more like, “cab-ri-uh-lay” with no emphasis anywhere.

😂😂 That seems to be the consensus! Thankfully it was pointed out to me pretty early. I was actually able to fix it before the next video I said it in.

[@ricardocuevas7815]

Nothing about a slantnose turbo or 959? Don't know how many 959's were actually built but it has to be a low number.

[@CarsLifeYT]

I think there were 42 slantnose turbos in total? Not actually sure, but I believe the number is slightly higher than the rest here. As for the 959, there were over 330 produced. They aren’t street legal in the US so there’s not many here outside of imports.
