The Spirit of La Carrera Panamericana

A seven-day race across an entire country. A 70 year old idea, that's still alive today. This is the legendary Carrera Panamericana - a racing endeavour which required quite literal blood, sweat and tears. Here's what makes the struggle so worthwhile, and why today it's more about fun.

This race needs TV coverage! An absolute gem of the international racing calendar with amazing history for many legendary auto manufacturers. Great video Porsche!

[@johns997.1]

What would be awesome is if Porsche did a series about the Carrera like they do with the Road to LeMans

[@bionicle960]

It exists, but not by Porsche. It is “Driving la Carrera”.

[@bionicle960]

I raced one of the classic Porsches in this year’s Carrera, was a pleasure.

[@teamlegendarysanmarcos3693]

“The last true road race” hit home 😁

[@996mozes]

So crazy that from all days today while driving, my mother told me the Carrera name came from the La Carrera Panamericana. And then this film. She gifted me her 996 Carrera earlier this year.

[@TraceurRobitza]

Take good care of it! :)

[@PsyentifiqueLtd]

You are so lucky!! Enjoy your drive :)

[@Ninobinonino]

Just watched this amazing video, straight after watching BMW’s disaster of a Christmas movie short film. Both firms used to appeal to the same kind of person, but the latter have completely lost its identity.

[@tornikemizandari3330]

I LOVE PORSCHE!!!!!!!!!!

[@w3155ach]

Amazing cinematography and what a sound that aircooled flat 6! So evocative. The Road makes us, love of the drive keeps us going.

[@harison7366]

There is also the Targa Newfoundland, but this still looks cool as hell

[@Mexxx65]

[@Jeremy-yi7zm]

Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the background at 4:32?!

[@OnlyARoadtripAway]

The music was custom composed for this film.

[@BenzinioB]

The World has changed... I wonder was it for good though? Have a some deep doubts!

[@Nemex12]

Nowadays only Porsche continues to deliver quality car videos instead of woke stupidity

[@bfKothNoob]

German beast is Porsche and Porsche 911 carrera faster car German cars are super

[@FrederikSpiegelhalder]

I really wonder how they manage to go over the speed bumps of Mexican roads.

[@tornikemizandari3330]

[@stefanschoonbrood4431]

Great movie. Though I don’t agree to promoting ‘it may take your everything’. I believe that’s a step too far Porsche.

[@ontherightside2647]

Merry Christmas! 👼🎅🎄🎁🌟❄⛄ Jesus is the King. Repent and believe in the gospel of Jesus the Son of God, the Messiah.

[@tornikemizandari3330]

FRIST

[@annoodannoo1032]

Isn't it a bummer. Being first and then this happens. :-)

[@micha3743]

Imagine doing this race (even reduced to a road trip) with an electric car. Haha, LOL, simply not possible. Neither adorable.

[@jasonmorales7527]

Keep your eyes peeled for the drug cartels.

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Awesome!
