great driving! i have a weird, recurring dream where i ship my 944 turbo from california to nurburg and relocate just to drive the ring every day. i did six laps last year and fell in love!
Notice the G-meter seems to not be calibrated - it was reading .2 positive most of the time even when going straight, so cornering forces in that direction were probably around 1g which seems very feasible with a good set of slicks in a TurboS.
Great drive specially on those tires. I can just imagine the car "a real 944 Turbo s by the way" would be like on some Michelin cup tires. Thank you for posting this.
Whats scary is that this is a pretty stock car, and there are several places where he wasn't pushing the car as much as he could have. It wasn't a "perfect" run. Plus the other cars on a couple occasions slowed him. This car (in what looks like near stock form) could well be in the 7 second bracket if the driver gave it a few more tries. WOW (great driving btw!)
Considering that it was a minute and 15 seconds faster than Fangio ever went around it, I would say that the car is quite amazing. Of course I may be a tad biased since I own a 944.
ok first of all i loved the video... amazing, but just for fun, did anyone see, him texting 2 times while driving, the second time being the last 15 seconds of the video, he is going 195 mph and texting with his right hand after he shifts. amazing, that's how we do it the pro's can drive the streets with one knee, text talk and argue with your girl friend, then girl friend would not be able, to do half that, sorry ladies...
+John Que He wasn't texting. He was activating, then deactivating the onscreen timer. Also, a 944 turbo S tops out at around 160mph. he was doing 195 kph (Nurburgring is in Europe).
One of the greatest sportscar ever made!!
Yep for sure one of the best !
The 944s were just brilliant cars. I love my S2.

What a brilliant car and what a brilliant drive. Still one the best handling cars ever!

Wow!!! Just wow. Huge fan of the 944 s, get your self on top gear!!!
Nice car and nice driving 👍👍
Great driving in a silver rose
Still hard to believe its only a 4 cylinder
Very awesome vid, thx for posting!
briliant ! tires squeal alot, what tires are you using in that vid?
It's impressive! And, i bet, scary as hell 4 the passenger.
1,3 G cornering forces! Is it on slicks?
very fast driving. your vid convinced me to buy a 944 turbo. did you drive the nordschleife under 8min btg with less traffic ?
Thanks! Hope you are enjoying your 944 turbo (it looks like you are!).
Yes, I have a few sub 8 btg laps.
is that an alfa romeo 147 gta at 4:02? BTW nice car and nice driving.
Turbo S well done!
Bra jobba :)

2,5 or 3,0?I do know that it's big four cylinder turbo , i think is 2,5 not sure.I need to be sure..
why are you only topping out at 132 MPH? The standard car does 155... High downforce settings maybe?
nice ! how many horse power ?
Yeah that's on a flat road with a very long strait away and no turns. The ring is very hilly
WOW!
Takk. :-)
Should have put it at 25psi then you would have gotten maybe 10-20 seconds off.
LOL you lapped faster than a GT3
Maybe because he needed to brake....??
Cojones Grandes!!!!
Texting on the Nürburgring @0:41
I like how he wasted the bike on the first turn...LOL
