- A short film by Andreas Trauttmansdorff about the pleasures of driving an early Porsche 911. See more of my work at atpix.ca Thank you to everyone for the great comments. So many of them really crack me up. It's so gratifying to be able to actually touch so many people and be able to share some joy.

My 1990 Miata takes this one step further:
Power? Nahhh
Driving experience? Naw,
Quality? Naw,
Self respect? Naw.
@@alex-v5j3w Lol early 911s were built like a horse and cart. Consistently terrible build quality, and a 10th as reliable as a miata. Anyway, you're clearly not a car enthusiast if you're ragging on other people's interests. Gatekeeping the car community probably means you don't even have a fucking license yet. Embarrassed and disappointed if you're over 15.
😂
@@EarrGasmm lmao
@@alex-v5j3w Man youre a bitch.
I've been driving my 1984 911 everyday for 29 years, I have 380,000 miles on it. When I drove it today, I was just as excited as I was the day I bought it...
How did you keep it running at such high miles?
@@ethanpower9245 Already has the miles so fuck it. The car is meant to be driven. To not enjoy the car is to not let the car do its purpose.
You are one of the luckiest people around
@@fubarbundy3307how does it relate to what he asked
this sparks joy good on you may she last 380,000 more
Hey, my newer Hyundai Accent meets these criteria too. I didn't even know I was driving such a gem!
sometimes I feel it's all just marketing and brain washing people
Then you've never driven a good car hard
@Bruno Desrosiers Based on your comment, you obviously have no clue what a real sarcastic comment is to begin with.
Slow car fast and all that. If it moves you, good. If it MOVES you, even better.
@Bruno Desrosiers Whooosh! ✈
about 30+ years ago, my buddy and me stole his dads 911 silver targa. his dad recorded the mileage so we had to do EXACTLLY either 100 or 200 miles and hope and pray that Pete could convince his dad that he'd written down the mileage wrong. at 18 years old...man... it was AWESOME to drive. took some getting used to cause older 911's had a habit of a loose back end. we crop toured, did some high end highway driving...wow what a memory. and yes, his dad never caught on....
It's the story of a famous movie, that's a FERRARI though! Ferris Bueller's Day Off, 1986!
He did catch on but was proud to have his son drive it. Its like the old saying...you can't teach your father how to *"$%
THIS is what a 911 is all about. That raw aircooled sound ❤
Best minute on TH-cam
absolutely!
True. I get goosebumps every time.
Thank you.
Was about to say, this is the best video on TH-cam haha.
Definitely!
Active Suspension? Yes, your hands and feet
Depends on what you put in your lunch sandwich.
And neck
Reminded me of motorcycles where your active aero and shifting your weight around is required for a fast turn.
Active suspension?
_Yeah, the struts seem to be working_
Ha..ha...yep.😂😎
Reminds me when I was in high school, I was shooting photographs for the yearbook, along with two guys both named Chris. We were shooting a pageant, and one of the Chris's asked me, "Are you shooting TTL?" Heck no, my camera was old-school, totally manual. At the end of the pageant, a pair of models came out dressed as a bride and groom. I saw that girl dressed up like a meringue and knew that my flash was going to try to make that dress 18% grey, so I opened my lens aperture a stop and a half. The Chris's with their fancy TTL flash programs shot it too, but I was the only one who could get a usable negative. There's something to be said for knowing how a machine works, and being able to drive it.
Wait, you can drive camera!?
@@Rufusdos Yeah, you can drift one too.
Ok ok ...I see what you did there 🤔
respect
You say it!
I worked in a Porsche shop in Atlanta, and eventually every 911 in town came through for mods, and the easiest to work on are the early ones. There's nothing like the turning of a 911 back then
My family thinks I’m crazy bc my daily is a 5.0 1992 mustang. That thing doesn’t have ABS and Traction Control. And yet I find myself loving every rusty part, every loose plastic noise once that motor goes to 6k rpm the sound the air that passes through at 130mph. It’s priceless ❤️
130? that all? my daughter's '78 Camaro will pull 160 w/it's 300k+ mile wore out 350 w/a 2bbl and a 3speed.
I’m sure it can go faster
But with the condition that the car is in … would be a death sentence 🤣
@@OscarDiaz-nn9ch lol. she has holes in the chassis from being outside at the beach from 20yrs. i guess fear is for the ford driver.
@@KardboardKenny yeah, intelligence usually skips a generation, you’ve proved us wrong
@@Gfysimpletons ah...your feeling gets hurt? Let me guess, your girl get stolen by some Chad in an actual muscle car?
Have to say - this video is a moral victory.
Intersting comment. Thanks.
Unless the moral is to not base and measure your existence on comparison to others.
@@DiscoFang interesting point. Btw, I still have at least 2 functional walkmans.
@@RothBeyondTheGrave That’s awesome. I love the old Walkmans but similar to the nostalgia factor in cars, I also love my iPhone & Bluetooth. These things definitely aren’t mutually exclusive.
@@DiscoFang yes, & another important point! Having a place in your heart for the old doesn't necessitate resentment for the new.
We’ve focused so much on being faster and safer and more convenient we’ve forgotten what it’s like to feel emotions and experience stuff like a classic 911.
The new 911 are good but damn The old ones feel Much better
completely disconnected from the machine. you ride is an isolated, comfort Pod that can get you from point a to point b.
that’s until you inevitably crash due to your mediocre driving skills (assuming you are the average person) and end up getting cut in half by the steering column, all at a glorious 50 km/h
@@mariogarciaperez7211 its the average profile of these so called "youtube racers". All talk but no show, given the chance to drive such car, I doubt these pussies would even dare to push the limits
@@lucastekkan "such car" youre acting like a old 911 is the rarest of the rare. knowing a fuck ton of people owning one they are not rare in middle europe and people do drive them hard. they are more forigiving to drive than ya think
No dual clutch, no tracksion control, no launch control, BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL
AMG Project One has not dual clutch as well
Unless you wanna actually drive it then it's not
mans really just said "tracksion"
But you can double clutch lol
This is why old vehicles are better. You have to become one with them to properly drive them. The raw visceral feeling is unmatched when you finally find that synergy. My old truck is dead ass slow but it has zero nannies. If you listen they tell you what they need. You can't get that on a modern car.
0:35 That shifting sound is sooooooo good. This car is beautiful.
I have seen this video so many times, and it still gives me chills every time
Thank you.
Whoever made this video deserves an Oscar
And a Presidential Medal of Freedom!
Totally....
Indeed
I support the motion!
Sure.... Oscars aren't worth anything anyway. Lets give it to a mediocre amateur video
I am going to need a moment to recover.
That sound was so damn perfectly captured it gave me goosebumps all throughout the video...
I am going to sleep at night with this playing in non-stop loop from now on.

@@cyril4046 You've already watched the video, haven't you?
I owned a ‘72 911E 2.4 1975-1979 and have regretted selling it for 40+ years, driving it with hands just resting on the steering wheel and feeling every texture on the road, the unique engine sound; it’s impossible to describe the sheer pleasure of driving it…
I just keep coming back to this video and play it over and over . Am I the only one ?
No. I will always watch it again too.
I've come back every few months for the past 4 years.
In addition to being a vintage sports car lover (although, sadly, I've never owned a 911), I'm also a vintage audio geek/collector, with a particular emphasis on open reel tape decks. I often send people the link to this Porsche 911 video in order to explain my passion for open reel tape machines, particularly the older, more primitive ones from the '50s and '60s.

@@joaopaulofernandes4962 HOW........How is it a wonderful car????
“Active suspension? It’s active alright”
“ABS? Yes, the driver has those…”
What an absolute masterpiece of a machine.
Absolutely love this purity of motoring. Love this video. Always takes me back to days of nanny free motoring
Disliked by 956 people who don't know how to drive a car with manual transmission
Hehe but in their words, they use automatic because its faster and easier to drive ;)
Nannys!
133? Out of almost a half million views, that's not too bad.
Tesla drivers...
In India we love to drive a car with manual trasmission
At 331 now coincidentally
Mine had Bilstein sports suspension and 16 in wheels. Active suspension; yes if you drove over a coin you could tell whether it was heads or tails up. Wonderful machine, no need for any electronics or power steering. My only regret was selling it.
As an almost 32 year old, I appreciate having had the opportunity to learn to drive, and to have my first car be a simple machine. It's fanciest features were motorized sidemirrors, power steering and a Bosch automatic fuel injection. The rest? A 1998 Skoda Felicia 1.3.
I drove that car so much in the 6 years I had it. I learned how to install aftermarket stereo on that car. I learned about mileage. I learned about clutches and why you don't play around with randomly dumping it. I learned why taking off in 3rd or 5th was a bad idea, although yeah, bad ideas, this car took it like a champ. And even when it's clutch gave in after two years of abuse, it still only cost about a third to a quarter of what my dad had to pay to replace the clutch on his 1998 Honda CRV before he sold it.
This Skoda taught me so much about driving, and I like to believe it enabled me to become a good driver. With it's adequate top speed of 140kph (87mph), I was able to get going, just not ridiculously dangerously fast. I even got stopped by the police once at that speed where the speed limit was 90kph (55mph). He asked me about the car and responded with "I didn't think this would even get that fast. Please slow down!".
It's been 11 years since I sold my dear old Skoda. Today I daily a 2012 VW Polo with a 1.2L 3cyl diesel engine. But I keep a 1998 Toyota Corolla liftback with a 1.3l petrol engine to drive on certain days because it's just so much different. Old cars just feel different. They drive different. You get a feel for the road most people don't like to feel. Every bump. Every piece of gravel. You know what your car is going through, and as a good driver, you acknowledge those things and drive appropriately. With these modern senseless machines, we drive them like brutes. We don't feel. We don't care. They don't give feedback unless you get into an accident.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
_"I learned how to install aftermarket stereo on that car. I learned about mileage. I learned about clutches and why you don't play around with randomly dumping it. I learned why taking off in 3rd or 5th was a bad idea"_
It took you 6 years to learn those things?
Really like this. Thanks for posting. I have an '83 SC. Power steering: my hands; Anti-lock brakes: my leg; PDK: my arm; Traction control: That beautiful flat six sitting in the rear pushing down those sticky tires!
I was 9 yrs old in 1973 when I saw my first 911 breezing through mundane traffic with that characteristic boxer engine grunt. This vid brought my childhood back, the lost spirit of Porsche has returned from the wilderness!
This Porsche deserves another longer video. Amazing..
0:26 captures the essence of a Porsche, completely.
0:26 CRINGE CITY.
That SOUND! This is amazing, and that's still an understatement
thats why i love old cars, todays cars are like "Oh, you are going too hard on the accelerator, let me fix that for you, while im at it, can i change gears for you? and what about braking? do you want me to brake too? let me help with this steering wheel!"
automatic transmissions are great - you might need to shoot someone, or maybe you want to smoke
otherwise, agreed
Buy a manual transmission lol
@@sayingnigromakesyoutubecry2647 only if it's a dog box
otherwise it's obsolete trash
I drove a 2003 Impreza for 4 years with a manual gearbox. Didn’t like it so I switched to a automatic ‘05 Chevy 1500. You don’t see me making a big deal over it.

Nice video, and nice sounding car too. Well done!
the value of 70's-80's 911 has gone through the roof, for good reason.
This one sold for over 100K US last fall.
EVERYTHING about the performance of the car is being telegraphed through the steering wheel and the pedals. It’s PURE DRIVING.
Keep coming back to this video...phenomenal burst of energy. Always makes me grab my 911 keys
The engine sound gives me goosebumps. A real car
Having owned about twenty vehicles, the absolute most reliable car I ever owned was a 1980 911 SC Targa.
Twice I drove it from Miami, Fl. to Southern California and back. The 911 is a special breed.

Since its first publication this video has become a real classic.
Thanks for sharing this piece of art. I have this video in my 'Favorites' playlist for a couple of years already, and I eventually always come back to it at some point. What a great pleasure to re-watch, and a nice reminder to keep a dream alive. Maybe someday. Thanks again.
I completely agree with this video. The late 60s / early 70s was perfection in motoring. When things were tuned properly... you really just became one with the car. Hard to explain, but it's really something else. Every move you made, the car responded with a sound. Cars were generally lighter because they didn't have all the additional features on them.
Too bad Ferdinand Porsche was too dumb to know that.
That sound is wonderful. Got goosebumps while watching with headphones on. ♥
This is a journey back to another time that is stuck in said time where cars were at their greatest and not all controlled by computers that take all the fun/enjoyment out of the driving experience they don’t make cars like this anymore (and probably never will 😣). This is a awesome video
Gorgeous car and pure joy to listen that engine noise!
Noise? More like a symphony!

That sound!
I will never forget the first time I heard that exhaust note. Wish I had that car today, and wish I could fit my 6'6 frame into it.
Porsche did have an option of seat track adapters to make room for tall drivers and these are available today.
I would go and have surgery to shorten my height, to own that car.
This video made my day. I have a 74 Comet that I love so much. It turned my life around! Blessings to you
I remember driving a friend's 1997 Suzuki 800, it had old school rack and pinion steering, had normal clutch, manual transmission and naturally aspirated petrol engine... and drove it on a winding village road... it was the best driving experience I've had!
I seriously want to find out what it's like to drive an older car like this. I've only driven the modern stuff and the simpleton's car ('07 Civic). Just sitting in older cars is like nothing else today and it just puts into perspective how spoiled rotten I am. I just love the feel of an old car since there's nothing to distract you and you can form a bond with it because one or two of exactly the same car turn out to be something special because each one has their own individual quirks and character.
My first car was a 1980 mini 1275gt and honesty it's still the best car I've ever driven. I'm in my mid 20's now and I recently bought a BMW m140i and even though the BMW is so capable, fast, and handles well, I'd rather drive the mini any day. There's no power steering, the ride is harsh. Push the breaks too hard and they lock, use the breaks too much and they overheat. It doesn't like being sat in traffic too long and hasn't got much power. It's only got 4 gears and the the only AC is the windows but my god is it the most fun I've ever had in a car. I still have the mini now and I wouldn't trade it for anything :)
Buy a Ford A
Alex Paumen Hahaha I'm afraid with old cars it's a case of Never Meet your Heroes. Sure, sit in them but if you have that rose tinted view of them that's about 10% of the reality of both driving and living with one.

I'd still take some ABS though, other than that I agree entirely.
Yeah. I'd rather not die. ABS can stay
I‘d take every system in a car I can get as long as I can enable and disable it.
@@freund_hein I mean health and safety boards have made it mandatory for manufacturers to put half that stuff on and most of it can be switched off...
So as much as I love the video, the reality is times change and so do manufacturers or they wouldn't still be with us.
...it’s a slippery slope...
@@logoseven3365 It is, but I cannot perfectly detect changes in the roadway in milliseconds whereas the car can help me do that, so it’s a nice feature. Having hit unseeable black ice and oily wet leaves on a fall night it’s nice to have a bit of assistance coupled with good driving skills.
Ever since I was old enough to hear and understand WHAT it was that just roared by I have LOVED THE PORSCHE 911! It is pure poetry in motion and if I won the lottery it is the car I COVET! I dont want a common old Ferrari or Lambo - nope I just want a 911! Probably the greates sports and racng cars EVER BUILT. I will never own one - but I will always love them!

My 2005 Porsche 996 GT3 provides all the same answers, except that it has ABS. the last of the primitive porsche GT cars.
michael christian a 2005 911 GT3 is a nice car indeed, but it bears very little resemblance to a 30 year older air cooled 911.
investment tudor, very different indeed. My brother has a bone-stock ‘73. So I know what the early 911s are like. But the 996 GT3 is the nearest thing in decades. Very raw for a 21st century car.

I’m an old man and worked on these cars years ago. A total pleasure to drive and exciting to boot. Youth of today would find it like driving a model t Ford because their I phone can’t link for performance data.
Hey Jason. Thanks for the comment. That was back in the day when you could still fix things. Now it's all about swapping out mother boards. Are you familiar with the mfi system on these? Wasn't that a piece of engineering art?
I don't rly know why people are arguing in the comments, they really missed the point. Beautiful car, great video, gave me chills. That feeling, that cruising feeling when you fully connect with the machine. I really hope this world doesn't forget that there is something priceless and so profound in that which no electric automatic self driving thing will ever come close to. Peace and love guys ✌️
Thank you.
I have a question if I may. I’m about to make a video like this for an old Lancia Delta. Do you know what camera gear was used? There is an argument here about whether it had been recorded with multiple Gopro's or DSLR's and suction mounts
Hi
I used DSLRs. I used suction cups that are used for carrying glass. They worked but once I was done I'd realized I should have just spent the money on some proper camera mounts. They 'd have been a little more expensive but way more functional. My rig was a pain in the butt. Also, be prepared for some scuffing of the paint when you use the suction cups. It was my car so I wasn't too worried. Don't know if I'd have done it with someone else's car. Good luck.
Ivo Eller Can't wait to see your lancia video!
Ivo Eller, it's been 9 months. Where is the Delta video? I hope it's Delta S4 :)
I think with nice cars sound is very important. Search 3d binaural audio and youtuber 19Bozzy92
This sounds like a real Porsche. The later ones sound like 4 cylinders
