  • The Porsche 911 was about to be cancelled. What sounds unbelievable today was a very real possibility in 1981. Porsche wanted to focus on its transaxle cars like the 924, 944 and 928, since they felt the 911 was an outmoded concept. Thanks to new company boss Peter Schutz, the 911 lived on and he was instrumental in bringing the 3.2 Carrera to life. It followed the 911 SC and regardless of whether it had the 915 or the G50 gearbox, it became a big success and saved the whole 911 range. This is its story.

    Great video. I love my '89. I run it and when something wears out or breaks, I fix it and keep motoring. Great cars and and the community of owners that care for and preserve these cars keep it going.

      You're very right, it's part of the appeal

    I love the photos and music... brings back that essence feel. Beautiful, timeless classic of this vehicle. I remember seeing this car when I was a kid, still makes me smile. What music is that?

      Same for us. I remember seeing one too as a kid and simply had to have one. Driving this one was a dream come true :-)

    My first new one was a 1988 - $50 thousand. I thought that was a lot. Just bought a 2022 - almost 200 hundred thousand. 1988 today is at least a hundred thousand.

      @@BrightsideMedia just got a sub, can't wait, rode one years ago, up for sale at £6800.00 loved it had bank loan in place, decided to not buy it due to single seat. :-( my god I could kick myself every time I think about it, six thousand miles on it, mint condition. Would be worth, well at least five times as much today, but I would never sell it. I was blown away by how turbine smooth it was compared to my A1 gpz900 which I still love and own. 70mph in first gear, look at a bend and you had completed that turn and on to the next. Awesome bike, legend. Vazza.

    This generation of the 911, to me, is the ultimate expression of the 1980's, the ultimate sports car, period. It is also the last of the real, lightweight, manual steering, torsion bar suspension 911's. While the 964 is a much more modern car in feel and performance, it defined the next generation completely

    I've got a virtually identical 1988 G50. Are the exhaust and headers on the red car standard?

    • @BrightsideMedia
      @BrightsideMedia  2 года назад

      You've got impeccable taste :-) Yes, it's completely standard.

    Why is the driver in the red model always on the wrong side of the road?

  • @Wanix11
