The Porsche 918 is the most radical Porsche of all time. With a groundbreaking hybrid system and 887 horsepower on tap, this bad Bavarian can go toe to toe with nearly anything on the road. But how did Porsche end up building it in the first place? Join James as he explores the history of Porsche supercars from the Porsche 959, Porsche Carrera GT, and of course the PORSCHE 918!!!

*this was posted 8 months ago what a coincidence eh? The Ferrari F40 came out 8 months after the 959*
@@blockblock5193 coincidence? THINK NOT
Works for money, but not so much powah, that status the sane
Inflation its called i think: D
The boss at Porsche basically said when they designed this car "Do everything that must be done...but don't you DARE touch that Porsche crest."
It’s great
Imo it's too small of a crest
"The Ferrari, LaFerrari, by Ferrari" lol

:D
And an extra 10% pure James Pumphrey...
extra few percent #RIPPaulWalker
BUT THATS THE BEST PART ABOUT IT
not complaining tho
Actually almost perfectly right, 71.3% was just Porsche history
Next i wanna see are
-Audi R8
-Honda CRX
-Ford escort/sierra cosworth
-Abarth
-Alfa Romeo
-TVR
-Mercedes benz G wagon or "geländewagen"

Okay so almost 10 minutes of history. Is a nice!
That’s what made this episode worth it. Learning the roots and where Porsche pulled the engines from. Plus, why the cars were developed.
Great show Humphrey.
It's Pumphrey.
Pumphrey u dunce boi . . . like the Pumphrey 502
"Drivers loved the 918" .. I can't even afford to run my diesel Forester ffs.
@@ZAH33D Thank you and you are appreciated. (:
@@CloudyShinobi Thank you for that. And I appreciate you joining this conversation. (:
An episode on Lexus LFA please ❤️ who else.?
yes please.
Maybe
Agreed my good sir
me too
They already have bumper to bumper on that
The acceleration,the 918 has,is just ridiculous.0-60 in 2,2 seconds,for a production car!
I remember watching the old Top Gear episode,where Richard Hammond was test driving it and he said:''This car accelerates so fast,your brain is too slow to process it.''
Now waiting for the Tesla Roadster
And then it got beat by a modified nissan patrol
not rolling out the production line right?
you talking about those 2000hp UAE nissan patrols, well in that case they are some 4bangers that can win to both and its like cmparin oranges and apples!
@@shibyguy420 hence why I said "modified", everyone know that a patrol ain't gonna catch a 918
@@yahyasajid5113 so whats your point? commenting on a very known fact, youre afirming what everybody else knows. but anyways i love patrols!
That Will Smith scene is gold in this episode! Literally can’t wait for this show every Thursday
Thanks Bryan!
Idk he knows that it's an actual clip from yt rewind

The Carrera GT is like the German NSX, test driven and co developed by a legend: Walter Röhrl
dont compare a masterpiece to a rice cooker
@Noah Tabraham thats why its a mans car you soy boys wont understand that. it takes balls to tame a beast
@@soundofeighthooves NSX is the true Ferrari killer though. The Porsche was left in Enzo's shadow.

Love it, when you try to pronounce the german words... in german. Epic cute and honest touch to the footage.
As a german it really hurts tho
Its also funny af lmao
@@kaiimee8465 especially the words that aren’t that hard. Americans could really try a little bit harder to pronounce foreign words. Others try to speak correct English in return.
@@derpinguin7003 german wprds are hard tho
@@kaiimee8465 there are plenty difficult English words also. I work a lot with British and American people and sadly most don’t even try to pronounce German words correctly. Mainly on the basis of „everyone speaks English, so why should we learn another language“. On the other hand I try my best to speak good English as a sign of respect. I’d wish the same amount of respect would come from English natives towards foreign languages.
@@derpinguin7003 ja hast schon recht so aber deutsch mit lauten wie sch und sowas is halt schon nich so leicht für englischsprachige
Couldn't get a 918 for the background

Hol up you said the 959 top speed was 190, and the F40 top speed was 199 , but the f40 was 2 more miles per. I thought you were a math boy
Im glad im not the only one who caught that
I'm prettty sure that was either a joke or a bad editing (cutting out the good take with 197 mph)/simple mistake.
He also said the f40 had like 270 hp once lol
Your so smart you don’t get sarcasm.... 👍🏼
And said that 9r3 had flat six and couple seconds after called it an inline six
Porsche ain’t top speed bois but they rip the twistys
THE TWISTYS
Yeah try taking an F40 off road too. Major clearance problems.... the 959 no problem
That's why Porsche is the king of leman.
9:57 Jay Leno isn’t the only celebrity who got scared in one of those.

RS200 and Escorts would be awesome. Or a episode about Ford RS in general.
@@FuryCola13 I think RS200 is just too weird of a thing to not having the same length of coverage as the Quattro. :)
The testarossa wasn’t that good

@StripperTipper-405 I used to be a a fan of healthy immigration. But then I started getting a bit worried when the africans swarmed europe. but Africans can at least integrate into a new society over time. Then we have the middle easterners... holy sh**. Europe might have more common car rammers and train bombers if they don't help trump build a wall around the middle east.
2.2s 0-100kph thats faster that every road car, faster that a formula 1, faster than all the bugattis, paganis, EVERYTHING, that thing is a beast
1:57 definitely not Jeremy clarkson on top gear
actually it was hammond lmao
It was the fastest production car IN ZE VORRRLD
The quickest production car on the Nordschleife for a few months? Yeah. But the fastest production car in the world? The 918? LOL never ever! The 959 was (more than 30 years ago). Porsche (along with Ferrari, McLaren and Lamborghini), doesn't even chase speed records anymore.
@@MDDeGrande1994 acceleration my guy, acceleration
Please make “more powa baby” t shirts!!!! Thanksss
Porche 918 is one of my dream car.
The beauty and the power of this thing is unparalleled 🔥
I love up to speed. Should maybe make a Plymouth barracuda video or even Honda CRX
The Plymouth Fury would be pretty cool to see, mostly because I want to hear James scream FURRRRRRRYYYY!!!!!
“-OUCH GRANDMA! Your cocktails are spicy! -PPPFFFFFFFFFFTTT!” LOL! 😂🤣 -OH MY GOSH! This dude is Hilarious!
This channel ruined all other car youtube channels for me. No clickbait titles, no waiting till the end of the video for something interesting to happen. They keep people watching by being interesting THE WHOLE TIME, which is somehow a rarity nowadays. This channel really is quite a step above the rest.
Can you please make one video on Mercedes Benz G CLASS
Yes!!! Its one of my fav suv's
@@kingofohio5689 ik it's my favourite too and it's so cool!!!!!!
🤣🎊🎉yay Porsche video!!!
I even own a Porsche 959
It's a hot wheels tho...
Lol you got me at first I was like no way lmao
They got us the in the first half .. not gonna lie
@@WotoTolff129 haha
Reeeeee
a video titled porsche 918 only has 3 min about the 918. lol. but it was all super enjoyable. love what you guys do. keep up the good work
5:24 My brain: Tag Heuer = Red Bull
Meanwhile Donut: Tag Heuer = Mclaren
Drove #714 at my old valet job, owner told me to rip it down the road and I couldn't pass up that chance. Got up to 80 mph real quick. One of the best moments ever!
DO SALEEN
Good idea broseph
God knows this is my FAVORITE channel out of all my time on youtube.. And i been here before channels were monitized
Considering the 6 minutes 57 sec time of the 918 which is a hyper car with electric motors, the viper acr really had a great run time with 7 minutes 12 sec
Please do a bumper to bumper on post malone
I left Daddy Doug Kia Soul Vid for you James 😘
me too lmfao
Me too
Me too
Same here
I watched the whole thing. Then came here.
Could you do something on AMC or International? Cool American car brands that ain't around anymore. Regardless, keep up the good shit because I'll watch whatever you do!
Speaking of Porsches I lust for, the fact that they haven't done limited productions of the "917 Living Legends" or "919 Street" concepts is pure heresy.
I just love the fact that, this episode's about one of my favourite cars, and there's another one of them right behind you ♥️
I know that Porsche is your favourite car but Ferrari is better
Faris Fako it aint
Pretty disappointed that this story didn't start with the 550 Spyder, the original ancestor of the 918
FrndsCallMeDaz The 550 is worthy of its own UTS.
You guys are on a roll - seriously excellent content, time after time - love it!
An episode on the Ford maverick would be cool. Nice show
Finally, someone has done their homework and acknowledges Carrera GT's F1-derived engine.
Aside from that, this episode has to be my favorite thus far with Porsche's holy trinity.
Up to speed on the Mazda Cosmos!
I love how much top gear footage and reference there is in this..
I've had a 2015 918 Spyder for a few months now and its absolutely amazing to drive. It will do 0-60 in 2.0 seconds if you can launch it right with the right tires and have a good driver behind the wheel. The only thing I'll say I hate about it is the cost of the car and how its just not justifiable unless you really like the looks of it. Car is basically a really expensive status symbol that cost too much money which makes most too afraid of the value lost to drive the car.
In other words, you can't enjoy driving this car on public roads. You have to drive it at 8/10's on mountain roads, if that. You're always cognizant of what it would mean to slide off the road or into a side rail. Always thinking about what it would cost and how long it would take to fix it, if you could fix it. That's how I felt about my first Porsche, a lowly 2.7L Boxster! I had an NA MX5, a couple of Z3's, three E46's, and an RX8 at the same time but I couldn't enjoy the Boxster for the above reasons.
Do a holden up to speed!!
um are you serious lol
The wheel that gave us those annoying tire pressure monitors.

Honda did they just renamed it the 2005 NSX but kept the red color
Chrysler ofc
The carrera gt concept car is located in Leipzig Germany I saw it there it's so cool
I work at Porsche and we have about three in out town I've detailed two of them already the thing is a beast
Would you ever consider doing an episode on a street bike?? If so you should do one on the hayabusa
Once James gets his motorcycle license we'll get on it

Next UTS Porsche should be the 718, and it’s evolution into the Boxter/Cayman
2:10. I think that original cut-away illustration was published in Road and Track ( or some other car magazine ). I'm old. When I received that issue new, I stared at that drawing for countless hours. That car blew me away and solidified my adoration of the brand.
Make a fun little episode on the Steyr Puch Pinzgauer, probably the best off-road vehicle ever made. It's not fast (according to the dials it goes up to 130km/h, but I never went faster than 100km/h) but you can drive pretty much anywhere and get to pretty much every place. Fun story: one of my military driving instructors said that, during winter, you can turn the heating from cold to freezing cold.
I love Pumphrey but where is Bart and science garage :(
I miss him and the show
Science Garage will return soon. Bart and his wife had a baby a few months ago.
@@Donut aww well then best of luck for Bart and his family! Also Donut I love your content, cant wait to see more!
I worked for Porsche in Ludwigsburg for 5 months, they had like 30 of them there
we made the alu parts in austria ^^ taff contract not even a scratch of 0,01mm was allowed everything have to be checked with x-ray, even the R8 parts or the Lambo parts havent to be so perfectly build.
made a video about most popular car in southeast asia

would be intresting
I got recommended this at 9:18 pm it was meant to be
This channel is in a really awesome place right now. You guys are doing some cool stuff and keep people interested. Kudos to you Donut media. Loving every video that come out.
I am still waiting for the alfa romeo episode man.
What about Renault-IKA Torino. As an argentinian I would mess my pants to see something like that. The torino was a weird and crazy car inspired by the rambler american and the classic. It was considered to be a car truly argentinian made and I dare to say (as an argentinian) IT WAS. It's the first time that Argentinians get something cool carwise (except for pagani which is also amazing), and this bad boy made it to the Nürburgring ending up 1st in his category but 4th in the generals. Argentinians love torinos and really it's a helluva a car, with it's inline 6 gas engine this Argentinian bull it's really worth a look folks.
Fun fact: it has a little bull in the grill supposedly to make fun of the ferrari logo.
Watch :Apex story of the hypercar
Make an up to speed on the Plymouth fury
The pinnacle of what a car can be. The car that pushes past it's own hypercar boundaries and excels forward with it's banshee like howl. The car the makes everyone look in awe as it speeds down the black top asphalt. The car that I fell in love with and will never be changed....that is the 918.
Would like to see more videos about tuner companies, like Mugen for Hondas, RWB for Porsches and so on
