#Porsche #959 #911
From the snowy banks of Sweden to the scorching blacktops of circuits around the globe, in the mid 1980's Porsche was on top, and couldn’t fail.
But behind those colorful race cars, In the shadows of those podium celebrations, Porsche, at its core, was rotting. Years of bad decisions had left the business side of Sttugart’s finest in shambles. Gearheads who won races had no idea how to be profitable in the modern world.
The future of the worlds must stuffy and successful sports car brand was on a razors edge.
In that darkest moment, a few brave minds at Porsche decided to take a risk and build an out of this world machine so powerful; so complex, so far ahead of its time, that it would change the future of fast cars forever,
And nearly kill Porsche itself, in the process.
This is the story of the greatest car Porsche ever made…
The 959.

"I know Hammond and May think my 928 Porsche is a bit dull. But for one very good reason, it isn't dull to me. Back in 1994, I was living in London and I got a call one evening from my mum to say that my dad was desperately ill in a hospital in Sheffield, and I needed to get there as quickly as possible. And I had just taken the chicken out of the oven and I thought, "Well, I'll take that for my mum because she won't have eaten". I ran outside and I had a 928 on test that week, and when I arrived in Sheffield, the chicken was still warm and my dad was still alive. In fact, he died half an hour later. And the truth is, if I hadn't been driving a car that can sit quite happily at 170 miles per hour, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to say goodbye to my dad. So as far as I'm concerned, the 928 is alright." -Jeremey Clarkson, *Top Gear*

It's so sad, that a company with that sort of engineering excellence, had to propagate the nonsense that a car with the engine hanging out the back of the car in back of the rear axle, was a safe way to have an average driver to enjoy pushing the limits of handling on public roads. The insanity of using men's insecurity over their masculinity, to sell more cars, when they could instead have shown the world what great cars that they COULD make, is indefensible. The 911 rear engine design killed more drivers than any other engineering farce. More than exploding Pintos, more than swing axle Corvairs. And it continues to this day. The only selling point of a rear engine 911, is to try to prove to the world what a manly man you are, able to 'tame the beast' of a truly lousy handling car. Case in point; Porsche 911 fans actually deride Boxters and Caymans for being 'sweet handling cars', as if it's not a car 'that a REAL man would choose to drive'. Think about that for a moment; choosing to drive a lesser capable car, because it's 'more manly'. That is just insane, but huge numbers of men truly believe that they need to prove their manhood by doing stupid things.

@libingmeme8474 4 месяца назад

@@d.e.b.b5788 You know jack shit. It was never about ego or "proving how much of a manly man you are", and that wouldn't be porsche's fault even if it was. Some people just do it because of the excitement. The 930 is still one of my dream cars purely for those reasons. I mostly ride bikes when it comes to performance oriented stuff and the first thing I do is turn off all the aids, not because I need to prove to myself, much less to anyone else, how much my cock smells, but because having a superduke attempt to throw you off while at the same time lifting the front out of a corner is peak fun. Also, I've never seen someone in a porsche space tell someone else he's not a real guy for not getting a 911. McLarens also kill TikTokers like Porsches kill doctors. You literally pulled that whole thing out of your ass just to whine about people having fun. Looks like you're part of the huge number of women who need to prove their womanwhood by complaining over nothing.

The Porsche 959 is an engineering marvel. And thanks to it, I was able to buy a Slyline GT-R R32 back in early 2000’s. Nissan fully bought and used the 959 to develop many of its system. So never would I be able to buy a 959 but I do enjoy a very poor man’s version. lol. Not even a close car but so glad those guys pushed to get this ever so sweet 959 into existence 🙏

@unholylillim 5 месяцев назад

The 959 is amazing because of how it was so ahead of its time. So much stuff that it introduced we still use today like adjustable dampers, height adjustable suspension, ABS, TPMS, traction and stability control...it's puffy looking but I think it's beautiful, it's like a 911 with some armor.

Ive always said everything you did about the 959. It created the greatness we see today. It was THE reason we have things today in our vehicles we take for granted and think it was someone else. Nobody looks at the 959 for what it really is, and its sad. It deserves so much more respect and love.

@xtnuser5338 2 месяца назад

The 959 was fantastic, no doubt. And it certainly had many firsts on a production road car. But saying it is THE reason we have those things today is a tad bit silly. That suggests nobody else would have thought up things like ABS or TPMS on their own eventually. Maybe the 959 sped things up, but the odds that nobody else would have ever had any of those ideas is unlikely.

The wheels and tires on the 959 are even more special than "just" hollow spokes and TPMS. They featured Dunlop's Denloc system that secured the tire to the wheel by a special design.

Holy shit man! I watched this covered in goosebumps. The voiceover, the production value, and the overall execution of these videos are nothing short of mindblowing! The suits behind the big brands pushing for boring cars and safe profit should watch your channel, cus' the way you talk about these machines could be the perfect reminder for them of what cars are really all about. Winning no matter the cost! I love the work you do!

Those suits would still not get the message, they'd say "well look at the Cayenne" and they'd be kinda right.

50:09 I would like to add a few kind words about Heinz Branitzki here. I know he was CEO for only a short time. But he was a member of the board under Peter Schutz. So I think he was very much involved in the whole 959 process. But most of all he was a very very friendly and kind gentleman. I know this because he was our neighbor until he died 2016. He and his wife were incredibly polite and very heartwarming people. Especially to me as a child back in the nineties. I have very fond memoreis of them and although I know this video is not about him at all I wanted to take the opportunity to mention it. 🙂 To me it was a nice moment when I saw the picture of him in this video.

Thank you Alex, DJ, and Ken. And thank you Squidd for another marvelous presentation, I always respected the 959, but it elevated it to another level after learning about how influential this car was and the pigheaded stubbornness of the brilliant people that dared to persisted and stuck to their guns and got to see their efforts come to life. I hope Herr Bott & Schutz are alive today and get to reflect on the marvel they created and the ripple they had on the industry which in a lot of German ways is understated yet titanic.

@charlie1832 5 месяцев назад

Bruce Canepa likes the 959 so much that he kind of restomod’s for lack of a better word, his shop upgrades pretty much everything on the car for like $1 million plus the cost of the car itself obviously, but it’s pretty cool what his company is doing with them

This documentary is on par with the genius of this car. Absolutely stunning work, perfect storyline, perfect quotes, perfect material. That's what car culture is about. That's why we all love it - and by that I mean the cars and your teams videos. Every single one a work of art and something, that in our time of speedy social media can not be praised high enough. Thank you (and of course all the genius minds behind the machinery you are talking about).
