This car really took me back to the 80’s, looking with wonder in magazines at Koenig Ferraris, Tresser Audi Quattro’s and DP Porsche specials. Great video and lovely to see and hear the enthusiasm of the cars owner.
I’m gonna have to look up Tresser Audi’s and DP Porsche. I have this photo of a mechanic from Kremer, and he is working on the engine which has these insane Ram air ducts for the intake.. twin turbo of course…so, it has this serious metal frame that is added onto the rear frame of the car, and it has those round (pin receivers?) donut shaped pucks… for the massive rear wing and body rest on. I think they were saying that the GT3 RS wing can put down close to 1,2000 lbs of downforce. Story is… they drove that car to the race.. won, and drove it back to Kremer headquarters. Crazy
Tanks to Magnus W. to watch the amazing find & footage this unique rare car but Julian i really have to tank you too buddy.. 🍺🍺🍺 for remind me some of the old crazy tuners from 70'-80' that i really forgot about and i'm European BTW..
@@poplaurentiu4148 Thanks for the kind comment. As a teenager I was hooked on a magazine called Top Cars (I think) which featured high end modified cars. I wish I still had a few copies today to reminisce.
@@julianadams2206 Back in 1990-2000 was not too many things to watch like now Netflix, so we use to rent video-tapes with imported old movies.. So in weekends we invite best friends or watch with my family them movies like Police Academy series, Bundy-family, and sometimes cop chase movies like : Mad-Max 1/2, Bullit, Taxi, Autobahn-cops, and we find a german movie called : Manta-Manta, where many teenagers that were doing street racing, each-other in a Fast & Furious style with wide-body modified cars like Opel Manta, BMW's, Mercedes, Fords.. etc the Manta & Ascona bodies i think they were widen by Konig Special or Fritz Lexmaul, and performance tuned by Irmscher or Zenner, Volkswagen Golf GTi tuned by Wochner and Mk1,2 Scirrocco & Corrado tuned by Rieger & Vortex.. and after 2008 in Austria we gather all auto enthusiasts friends each year and went to Worthesse show was just like Sema auto-show but outside on city streets not indoor.. He He, what crazy times we had back then.
So much synthwave here! Always loved the slandnose, forgot about this Rinspeed, till I just found this channel. Spent my teens and some of my twenties in the 80s and still love the 80s exotics. Porches, Testa Rossa, Vector, and Slantnose and.... more Porsches!
Boy this one takes me back to my youth in the 80s! That car was wayyyy ahead of anything on the roads that decade! And still badass today!👌😎👍great video Magnus!
was it? it doesnt have much road comfort as most sport cars/porsche. i drove a few of them, its fun but way ahead of their time? no they werent. the mercedes w116 or audi 100 1982 or w124 and so on they were their time far ahead.
OPP - this is the second or third show i've watched , and i appreciate the brutely honest critiquing of the DRIVE , then the styling "inside and out" it's as close to experiencing the car and not having the opportunity yourself ✌
Thx for the share MW! 80's was the era for a lot of gr8 cars.....back in the day hearing an air cooled 911 was heaven....Ford Capri 2.8 was strong, Peugeot 205's, GTi's, XR4's and even 2's were like wow cars.
I love 80's European sports cars. Especially the 80's tuner cars. I'm a big fan of Rinspeed. As they have made some very wild cars. There's a guy in my city who has a red Porsche Cayane SUV with black Rinspeed wheels. I also love the green Porsche 928. Very cool video. Thank you.
Great episode ! Ive never seen a Rinspeed 930 before, definitely a love or hate thing, like most people I googled 911 Rinspeed 930 for sale to see what's out there & there's a few of them, one with only 10,000 miles on the clock !!
I often wonder what happened to all those custom Porsches, Ferraris and Mercedes from that era. Great to see one survived. What a lovely chap the Porsche guy is - you make a good double act :)
@@hugovel2717 I used to go to Germany every year in the 80s. Car magazines were full of ads from AMG, Koenig, Rinspeed, DP, Strosek… there must have been quite a few about. But they were probably the first to get forgotten about as the fashion changed - and perhaps didn’t last as well as the stock cars.
@@StefanMarjoram I remember seeing an old WasabiCars video out of Japan, where he visited a local graveyard and it was full of old Alpina BMWs. A lot of times, the owner gives them up/abandons them, they get shuttered in a lot and time moves on.
Every episode is epic. Thanks for showcasing the best sports cars ever. Please update us on your 928 and show it running through the canyons in the day. Thanks! 👍
928 used an aluminum alloy V8 that weighed more than a cast iron SBC 350 and wiring that literally fell apart in your hand. Just two of many reasons to avoid that platform. There’s a reason the 911 series is considered the real Porsche.
I knew a mechanic in Greensboro who work specifically on two of these in the early 2000s. Id love to meet up with him again he was like a total opposite of yourself. Car world is the best place to meet people.
I’ve been into Porsches since the early ’80s and even saw a couple early 959s when I toured the 911 factory in ‘87. I have never even heard of this car.
It looks like something I dreamed of as a toddler in the early 90's. If you giys ever saw "The Velveteen Rabbit" you'd understand. The slant-nose look is a look I'll always love.
Same goes for the e9x m3. You wanna be in 2nd, but you have to grab 1st and get into the revs, especially uphill thru tight switchbacks. Gotta get used to ringing it out to be on the power! 😝
early 90's in the UK I saw one of these twice, about 1990-91. Same colour, was being driven first time, second time was in a showroom, I forget how much for though!
Hey Magnus. I live in Switzerland snd I also have a Rinspeed Porsche 911. Its a one off. I inherited that Porsche from my grandfather. Its the first thing I can remember as a child
Your one of my hero’s I can’t wait until Iam able to store air cooled cars would now but I want a bigger garage before I take it to the next level definitely ready just has to be the proper setup to own these type of cars I don’t live above my means of living
My mate owned the one that is for sale in the UK, he sold it two years ago for £35k (we are in the North), I has been given a light resto, and is now for sale at £120k in London... My mates was rather Sick, I have just tweeted you some picks of it
I love the weird looks. Have to say I agree that you should never have to downshift to first on the roll. Ever. First is for initial acceleration only.
I used to have a Rinspeed Renault 5 Turbo in the early 90's more about form than function. But what a spaceship of a car at the time and would be a real one-off today. I sold it to buy a Jensen Interceptor || big regret I sold both to buy a house . Now I have a Vauxhall Mokka oh the shame, it's hard to say I used to be a cool dude as clearly I lost that title ;)
