wow, Derek, you keep surpassing yourself with each video! not to be cocky, but having spent all my 20 years of life investigating on cars, and classics in particular, and mostly porsches, i seldom find stimulating content on youtube... yet, i keep learning something new with each of your videos. this is something i had not experienced in a long time, until i discovered you and jason (though i also watched him on motor trend). the quality keeps getting very noticeably better, not that it ever was bad. and i just wanted to thank you for making this utter car porn. on a happy sidenote, my uncle used to work at koenig specials, but in the spanish division, which was tiny, and led by a crazy man. his stories are pure baddassery. on another sidenote, i must confess that ireally prefer the dauer version, i remember discovering that car when i was sixteen a couple of years ago, and did not stop dreaming about it for the whole summer! i even found people who will sell you a monocoque out of carbon fiber (actually period correct,as you must know, vern shuppan experimented with carbon tubs on these cars) or aluminium tubs as well! ......anyway.... in a nutshell, thank you very much for an amazing and obviously hard worked video! keep up the good stuff! kind regards from Spain!

I recently saw this car for sale. I gasped in shock and awe. I haven't seen a picture of one of these since the 80's. I love Porsches, and the 962 was arguably their greatest racecar. I've sometimes seen tuners ruin the looks of cars, but thankfully Koenig didn't ruin this. I hope to just get the chance to see a car like this some day. Thanks.
In 1986 I rode in the Lowenbrau special on the autobahn at over 200 mph with my dad driving. I was 14 then and at 52, I remember it like it happened last week !
I remember when I was a kid about the Koneig specials they really were a big sensation back in the time. Sadly I never saw this one I heard about a few months ago and suddenly out of nowhere you really surprised me with this amazing video, the detail clearly makes the difference. The channel gave a huge leap forward this year, keep up that brilliant content 👌
My dad was a lifelong Porsche enthusiast. Shortly before he passed he was on a trip with my mom in Texas when some guy in a Luby's saw his Porsche hat and struck up a conversation. Turned out the guy had one of the Dauer 962's at home that he had bought new. I will never forget that phone call. Only time I ever heard my dad sound like an excited teenager.
Wow! Another epic video! These just get better and better. Love all the historical video clips, the storytelling and the cinematography. Great work! Wish I had gotten a ride in it.
What a fantastic car but have to say a fantastically presented video also. Thank you for the content, it's channels like yours (few and far between at this quality) that have proven to be a god send in these covid lockdown times!
Insane lesson on this machine. Beautiful and gorgeous photography. I bet everyone can appreciate the time and effort put on this production. Greatly appreciated, please keep them coming.
Love the Koenig, as all the other road-versions of the 962, but I would love to see more content about the one, in my biased opinion, is the best of all the 962 conversions: the Dauer 962 LM
I LOL at the thought of you driving that on Kings Mtn. Rd. (@ :17). Your teeth and spine would never recover, not to mention it's probably wider than the road in places. Great video, happy to see it on the road!
I believe, all that 962 road legal versions (Dauer, Koenig, DP, Derek Bell SIgnature, Schuppan) are the coolest road cars ever made. Extremely light, fast, beautiful (maybe except Schuppan:), and connected to glorious Porsche racing heritage of the golden racing era, which we have lost lost beyond retrieval
Outstanding sound recording on the interior. So many videos just capture wind and tire noise. Does Porsche consider Koenig and Dauer cars to be "real" Porsches?
Nice to see this Koenig C62 got totally rebuilt after it was totally burned down in flames round about 1 decade ago. The only question is, if the needed spare parts have come from Koenig and they're "original", or if the parts were reproductions "self made"; what of course affects the originality and the car's value. Koenig has built 1x C62 for race (his personal car) and 4x customer cars = 5 Of the 4 customer cars 2 were yellow, 1 was red, and 1 was in black and not finished (but got finished in the UK years later). The red one (the only one in this colour) was destroyed by a fire. In this forum you can see some photos of the red wreck ... www.carpassion.com/forum/thema/20156-koenig-c62/
OOOOOF at the horrrible mis-shift moneyshift over-rev into redline at 12:10, I'm surprised you included that. And to do that on such an incredibly rare, expensive, sacred car.......OUCHhhhhhhhhhhh
Derek your video is so much better than Matt Farrah's was. On a side note, did you notice the speedometer is disconnected???? I'm guessing it's so there won't be an accurate account of it's mileage. I saw this car was for sale, somewhere, recently. Guess I'll need to find out if it sold & for how much. Thumbs up from Mark in Ohio.
Nice to see such great footage of this rare Koenig-a real treat. Is this car really a 962 conversion? What was the chassis number then? I always thought these were made from bits of replica and real parts. At some point this was the fastest road-going car in the world.
The Dauer 962 trades its Le Mans victories for the top speed record for a production road car, and the exact car that took Lemans' glory and lost its fastest post was the Mclaren F1.
Putting lights on a Le Mans car would be one of the easier things i guess, they have them already to be able to race during the night. And a missing rear window is not that bad, is has mirrors for locking backwards as the laws require. (Big trucks also have no rear window, and you wouldn't see anything anyway as there is the trailer.)
Not that the visuals have been lacking in the previous videos but this felt like they were kicked up a notch, lots of beautiful shots! One little thing about the audio, I think I hear a little room echo in the voice over recordings, but that could also be just me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Either way, looking forward to the next video!
The car is 11/10, as is this video. Bravo.
The interior driving shots of this are worth gold

Truly a passionate man, respect.
Very informative background if the predecessors leading up to the 956/962 👍
Vicious and beautiful at the same time.
This series brings me so much joy and inspiration. Beautifully written and produced!

Excellent music choices. Thanks for providing links
Great visuals , and wonderful commentary to boot
This channel should be more popular...👍
At those speeds it’s probably a good thing that speedo is disconnected..
o no just as i was going to film it down this quite country road then the speedo suddenly got unplugged o no the horror
i love how hes very cautious with it and yet the speedo doesnt work haha
love it
I'm guessing it was disabled.
i appreciate you for sharing those cars with us

Awesome video. The 911 Turbo (Typ 930) Street Car was derived from the 934. Not the other way around.

I believe Dauers were actually factory supported at Le Mans in 1994 I believe.
Great work Hyphen!!
This car is insane...and I love it❤
Excellent video, Great information on the Koenig!!!

Stellar video of an amazing car.

Today, there is Bugatti, Pagani and Koenigsegg hyper-cars. In the 90s they just took Le Mans winnng prototype and did a "street conversion" :-D
