The guest star that was the suspect and driver of the car in the episode was Danny Sullivan who won the Indy 500 in 1985. The car was a REAL one...one of 65 ever built. And a legend in itself.
This is what 'bothered' me about the episode (and Crockett's Daytona while we're at it taking it at screen value that it's a real Ferrari and not a kit car built on a Corvette used in production...because someone will bring that up). I feel like this crime is pretty quickly solved by figuring out who of the 65 owners of a 906 brought their to Miami. I mean, I've never seen them as anything other than all white but it still couldn't be that hard to narrow it down. Then the undercover cop Crocket driving around in a car where there's only like 115 of in left hand drive seems like a bad idea. "Who burned you?" "That guy in the crazy rare black Ferrari." Like, he's busting people who make buckets of money and buy expensive stuff, at least a few are going to know how rare a Daytona Spyder is. Also, it's like $400k. I think I looked it up at the time but I can't imagine how...way too much money to use as cover for their vice officer. The Testarosa made way more sense. Everything looked so cool that I watched it anyway. No one else was giving me the possibility of exotic car chases every week. And there was this cool ass episode where they chased a Porsche 906 and the episode revolved around the Camel GTP series which was my favorite racing series...and Danny Sulivan ends the episode by trying to make a break for it in a 962. I wanted to see that chase last longer but there was no way it would with a 250 mph race car with a tunnel body against...anything else. Also probably no one was willing to let them go too nuts with their prototype Le Mans race car...
@@ryancarbrey2610 Indeed LE does use 'crazy rare' and 'super expensive' cars, yachts, planes, etc. as props for SO. There was actually an episode where they wanted to take back the car and he had to convince them that it was crucial to his cover and ongoing operations. So, its not like he just signed it out of the motorpool. The irony is the kit car in the show, will handily outperform the real thing.
My twin brother and I used to watch the show together every Friday night. He committed suicide in 1999. This video reminded me of the good times with my twin brother. The nostalgia is kickin in HARD.
@@Sum_Ting_Wong your screen name cracks me up. I’m a former F-15C pilot, now a Learjet pilot. So, I’m familiar with Asiana Flight 214 that collided with a rocky seawall at San Francisco Airport (KSFO), just short of its intended runway (28L) on 7/6/13. KTVU reported the flight crew names being ‘Sum Ting Wong,' 'Wi Tu Lo,' 'Ho Lee Fuk,' and 'Bang Ding Ow'. Some FAA intern, who gave the TV station the fake names, lost his job and probably will never have an aviation job of any kind whatsoever!
This was the show back in the day that had EVERYTHING: the sleek neo-noir cinematography, the glamorous Miami setting, the new wave music & big pop/rock hits, the cutting edge fashion trends, the exotic cars, the hot sexy women, and the big name actors & guest star celebrities. No wonder people stayed home on Friday nights just to watch it on TV.
My friends and I would watch it on Friday nights and then head into the city to go clubbing. Talk about being amped, especially the episode with Phil Collins’, “In The Air Tonight”!
@@Brian-qf4iw As much as I like "In the Air Tonight", it has been over used so much in today's media that it has now essentially become a meme, unfortunately. I much prefer Phil Collins / Genesis other hits from that era like "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Land of Confusion", "Take Me Home", "I Don't Care Anymore", and "Long, Long Way To Go".
💯 this show was on another level back in the 80s. 1) Dope city 2) Dope threads 3) Dope cars 4) Dope guest stars That Porsche is worth some serious coin in today’s market.
The Fat Boys. This series has the world record for the most guest stars ever. I swear all of Hollywood at the time, was on this show. Too many veterans to name.
Miami Vice, Literally a series that was ahead of it's time. What an era. The nostalgia is real man. Been re-watching the entire series these past months, and what a time. Don't think any show can come close too it these days. Sad that the era, is long past. Iconic storyline, themes, instrumentals, characters and so much more. Legendary. What makes me appreciate the show even more is that they used some of Collin's music, truly iconic. What a scene.
@@PeteNice29 Ah, the AWESOME 80`S! I`d just turned 21 when this GEM! blew EVERYONE AWAY! We`d just seen MAGNUM P.I. & NIGHT RIDER but nuthin like this. No tv show would DARE! show law officers busting DRUG DEALERS! & cocaine coming in the US by the boatloads. Only NBC & MIAMI VICE.
Yep. Porsches were like Lotus--big focus on weight loss. and the Daytona was a nice grand touring job, but certainly not the power-to-weight ratio of a mid engine racing car.
This show looks so real. Filming on the actual locations, good use of stunts, and the naturalized acting helped this scene feel like I can smell the city. And the steady pacing, the story is force-fed. It just lives.
@FullSugarBrah funny how the person watching clips of a TV show on the phone and making comments, is telling another to put down the phone and stop watching TV shows 🤡
I Always liked the Black Daytona over the white Ferrari Crocket had! The lines on the Daytona were classic!! I know the car was a kit, not authentic. But man when it got BLOWN Up!!!! I was SAD!! One of the Greatest TV Series I ever watched!!
When it got blown up, that’s was a great episode. Later when Crockett went into Castillos off complaining about looking like little abner on drug deals and castillo simply looks at him and says ..It’s out back and the testarossa is born… awesome
Love this show. My mom was born and raised in Miami and remembers seeing them film scenes around the city. I wish I was around back then. Love the 80s so rad!
I know the car and the man who drove it during the filming of the chase sequences. The producer of MV, Michael Mann, decided he wanted something exotic and rare to be featured in this episode as it surrounded the Miami Grand Prix and Danny Sullivan's acting debut. Calls went out and one curator said, "Sure!". The car was brought to Miami in a semi from its home in a private collection in Florida. The scenes were shot in a single night, the car was put back in the truck and taken back to its display area, undamaged. Sadly, this curator didn't get express permission to use the car and even though nothing bad happened, he lost his job. It all ended well as he went out on his own and has been extremely successful in the restoration business for decades.
I was literally a teen in the 80’s. I turned 13 in 1980. For people my age, it was the best time to be alive. I’ve met a few people who don’t like the 80’s and I wish they could just experience it. Great times.
Probably the greatest show ever. I think Breaking Bad and The Wire and The Sopranos are up there too. But Michael Mann really was amazing. Nobody had his attention to detail. This show was so far ahead of its time. And to even include the Fat boys. RIP Human Beat Box.
*Legendary* series! The style, the music, the vibe - everything about it was spot-on! If only we could put all of the actors in a time-capsule to reverse their aging and pop them out to do the series again! *No-one* can do "Miami Vice" like the original cast!
This must been a ground breaking for TV. So much fun within 4 minutes: the car, the chase, the swagger. And America in 80s look way more cool that today
I remember when NBC moved it to a 9 PM time slot Saturday night. My crew would decide on watching it and then go to the club, OR somebody tape it while we were at the club. I miss that crew. We could've been extras, the way we all dressed.
I turned 22 in 1980. A priceless decade, at 64 in 2022 i appreciate the fact that I was a young man back then, today’s youth are like alien creatures to me, they are pathetic little wimps, most young men are simps and most young women are entitled gold diggers with no sense as to what a real woman should be, I am glad l never got married nor had children.
@@brucemarshall3446 , I went to work as an FBI agent in 1988, and was put on a drug squad. I liked it so much, I transferred to the DEA in 1991 (retired in 2010). That's how much I was Sonny Burnett!
One of the best shows ever made. My buddies and I used to make sure to watch this @ 10pm Fridays before we headed out for the club and/or assorted shenanigans.
"They ´re racing in the New York City streets all the time". I´ve been waiting for this scene on your channel. The German translation for our TV was very tight to this original, so this was our cool quote those days way back in the eighties. When this episode was aired in the german tv, I just turned 18 and got my driving licence. I felt like Crockett driving in the black BMW E30 of my brother.
There was also "unofficial" racing in New York streets, namely the type of street racing one saw in the movie Fast and Furious. The bigger street racers would buy up Pro Stock dragsters (race cars using production car bodies) and trailer them over to highways. After midnight until 4am, they would block off and shut down certain highway sections on Fridays and Saturdays and treat it like a drag strip until the cops came by....and then move to another location. If you were to see the movie "Two Lane Blacktop", right at the beginning you spot the California version of it--after the Watts riots, the LAPD turned a blind eye to the racing since no one doing it bothered to worry about race, color or creed, so it let off the tensions brewing in other parts of the city, as much street racing is people watching as well as participating. www.hemmings.com/stories/article/wild-in-the-streets www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/new-york-street-racing-60s-70s-story-found.185862/

@@johnphantom Pretty sure it’s “da kine”, referring to high potency pakalolo back from the early ‘70’s during the 2nd Hawaiian renaissance that mirrored other ethnic cultural awakenings of the era.
@@DDELFIERRO Ah we never got that out on the East coast. In the late 1980s or at least early 1990s Canadian "Kind bud" started showing up, it was much better than the Mexican and Colombian brick we were getting up to then. I have to note that I lived in two places back then, my mother was in Springfield Mass in a poor section of mixed races, we only got the Mexican brick back during the 1980s. I also went to school where my dad lived, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands, but despite it being a tropical island, it is very small (32 sq miles) and people pretty much only grew for themselves. Late in the 1980s my dad traded cocaine for buds, but he didn't smoke so he gave them to me. Awesome stuff with red and gold in it, I brought 2 ounces next to my balls on the plane to share with friends in Springfield.
Although primarily, the spotlight was on Don Johnson (James Crockett) and Philip Michael Thomas (Ricardo Tubbs) we can't forget the beautiful and talented Actresses, Saundra Santiago (Gina Calabrese) and Olivia Brown (Trudy Joplin), which matched their male actor counter parts, in good looks and great acting abilities!!! "This ain't New York pal, this is Miami!!!" ~ 84' Sunny Crockett. 😃
Just looked up the specs the Porsche 906. Initially, I wasn't impressed by its power figures. A tiny 2.0L Flat-6. Then, I saw the weight (1,280 lbs, yes, I checked 4 times). Those are incredible power to weight metrics. At LeMans, it beat the Ferrari's V12's. Overall, I hate to say this according to acceleration and slalom, the 906 outgunned the Ferrari Daytona. Then again, when I was a kid watching this show I always routed for Ferarri. You grow up and you learn what drives Porsche's car design and performance... I'm a Porsche lover now, bar none. This scene was The Fast & Furious for me.
I loved MV! Amazing production and camera work. Amazing scenery, cars, women, storyline and acting. Such great music is associated with this show…Glen Fry’s “Smuggler’s Blues”, Phil Collins’ “In the Air”!
Either this, the Testarossa chase from Stone's War or the Daytona vs Countach from Bought and Paid For is the best chase in all of MV. Between these 3 for sure.
Did anybody else watch the interview where they said they used to always have a couple water trucks to wet the streets at night before they would shoot a scene because of the way it made the streets look cooler
@@AfricaGeo @Jonathan Costa Thanks for the info guys. Though many motor racing events and even other sporting events have the "Grand Prix" tag attached to their event name, in the strictest sense of the term "Grand Prix racing" refers to Formula 1 and Moto GP racing. In that sense, 2022 is the first time that's gonna happen in Miami.
Watching this show in the last 10 years (watched as a young kid too) I love the camera angles. The back view, side views of the car, side views, 🤣 and Sonny’s face with the reflection of that Ferrari going up in flames in his sunglasses.
@@mikehotchkiss8975 The very rare Porsche 906 (also known as the Carrera 6) used in the episode, one of just 65 produced in 1965-66 was a real one borrowed from a Florida collector.
I like how they played it safe by using a mannequin.....just in case Sonny did not hit the brakes in time. LOL! I grew up watching this series. A huge fan. I even spent $5 dollars on a poster for my room. Loved the 80's.
The Ferrari Daytona Spider Crockett and Tubbs drive in seasons one and two was in actuality a kit car; a plexiglass body on top of a Chevy Corvette chassis with a Corvette power plant, on Pirelli tires. It was cheaper than using a genuine Daytona Spider. Ferrari CEO Enzo Ferrari offered the use of a new white Ferrari Testarossa for seasons three to five.
Just the kind of plot development that appeals to me. Someone eating a spliff, followed by a high speed car chase at night, followed by a dead body being dumped on the street.
Cheers from Kensington and Chelsea; in London. This TV show was SUPERB. I'm assuming it was popular here 🇬🇧 firstly. It didn't fit well with Reagan. BBC bought it and became No. 1 show in 80s UK. Nobody went out on a Friday night when it was broadcast. So your cousins over the pond helped somewhat. 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲

The greatest TV show there ever was or ever will be.
Still holds up. Brilliant driving and camera work.
Crockett and Tubbs, coolest cops ever 😎
Fat Boys!!! Miss those guys and like I said living in Miami everyone and everything comes here 🚤 ⛵️ 🌊 ⛅️
"...the kind..." they even had it back in the mid-80s. I never got kind till the early 2000s.
@@johnphantom Pretty sure it’s “da kine”, referring to high potency pakalolo back from the early ‘70’s during the 2nd Hawaiian renaissance that mirrored other ethnic cultural awakenings of the era.
@@DDELFIERRO Ah we never got that out on the East coast. In the late 1980s or at least early 1990s Canadian "Kind bud" started showing up, it was much better than the Mexican and Colombian brick we were getting up to then. I have to note that I lived in two places back then, my mother was in Springfield Mass in a poor section of mixed races, we only got the Mexican brick back during the 1980s. I also went to school where my dad lived, St. Thomas US Virgin Islands, but despite it being a tropical island, it is very small (32 sq miles) and people pretty much only grew for themselves. Late in the 1980s my dad traded cocaine for buds, but he didn't smoke so he gave them to me. Awesome stuff with red and gold in it, I brought 2 ounces next to my balls on the plane to share with friends in Springfield.
Those diamond glasses were the HYPE!
That Daytona would NEVER catch that Porsche. . . "Power To Weight" Ratio in play here ! ! . . Needed Testarossa for this match 😊
it wasnt a real Daytona though.. so who knows what they had under the hood
Although primarily, the spotlight was on Don Johnson (James Crockett) and Philip Michael Thomas (Ricardo Tubbs) we can't forget the beautiful and talented Actresses, Saundra Santiago (Gina Calabrese) and Olivia Brown (Trudy Joplin), which matched their male actor counter parts, in good looks and great acting abilities!!! "This ain't New York pal, this is Miami!!!" ~ 84' Sunny Crockett. 😃
Es war und bleibt die coolste Serie für immer und ewig, da kommt keiner dran 😎👍🏼🤘🏼
This very 906 can been seen on display at the REVS Institute in Naples FL where it has been lovingly restored and competes in Vintage races today!!!
So it’s the real deal 906.
Just looked up the specs the Porsche 906. Initially, I wasn't impressed by its power figures. A tiny 2.0L Flat-6. Then, I saw the weight (1,280 lbs, yes, I checked 4 times). Those are incredible power to weight metrics. At LeMans, it beat the Ferrari's V12's. Overall, I hate to say this according to acceleration and slalom, the 906 outgunned the Ferrari Daytona. Then again, when I was a kid watching this show I always routed for Ferarri. You grow up and you learn what drives Porsche's car design and performance... I'm a Porsche lover now, bar none.
This scene was The Fast & Furious for me.
Well, the car that Crockett was driving wasn't actually a Ferrari Daytona, it was a Corvette made up to look like a Ferrari.
As a kid, exactly where did you route (sic) the Ferrari?
@@AndreiBYhappy money doesn't buy love.
I loved MV! Amazing production and camera work. Amazing scenery, cars, women, storyline and acting. Such great music is associated with this show…Glen Fry’s “Smuggler’s Blues”, Phil Collins’ “In the Air”!
There were two great Phil Collins tracks in MV: In the Air Tonight and Don't Care Anymore.
Either this, the Testarossa chase from Stone's War or the Daytona vs Countach from Bought and Paid For is the best chase in all of MV. Between these 3 for sure.
How about that scene in Down For the Count part 2?
🤣🤣Crockett was rolling!
Greatest TV show ever. Crockett was the best
You just had to be there. If U wasn't there when it was happening, just appreciate the art of it. No need to hate. These were good times.
Wow, I remember that episode when it first aired!
tell me the story about you remembering it :D
Did anybody else watch the interview where they said they used to always have a couple water trucks to wet the streets at night before they would shoot a scene because of the way it made the streets look cooler
Interestingly, now there is a REAL Miami Grand Prix coming up as part of the Formula 1 World Championship from May 6 to 8, 2022.
They already had Grand Prix racing in downtown Miami during those times and even had some motorcycle racing on those very same streets also .
@@AfricaGeo @Jonathan Costa Thanks for the info guys. Though many motor racing events and even other sporting events have the "Grand Prix" tag attached to their event name, in the strictest sense of the term "Grand Prix racing" refers to Formula 1 and Moto GP racing. In that sense, 2022 is the first time that's gonna happen in Miami.
Sonny was too ready to max the Porsche and chase that guy down 🤣🤣🤣🤣
he did a helluva job making that 3speed THM400 appear to be a gated Ferarri 5 speed :) he's almost nearly moving the gearshift
Watching this show in the last 10 years (watched as a young kid too) I love the camera angles. The back view, side views of the car, side views, 🤣 and Sonny’s face with the reflection of that Ferrari going up in flames in his sunglasses.
MIAMI VICE, This show brings back a lot of memories for me and anyone who grew up in the Eighties.Staying up Friday nights at 10:00 on NBC.
Love the tire scrubbing the fender… they were really driving.
That was so awesome! What an amazing scene! 🔥🔥🔥
Showed the weed parts to me roommates, we all had a beautiful laugh.
Season 2, the best of all.
I preferred season 1. I liked season 2.
the opening was the best part of this sophomore season episode.
Epic clip made me need to see the whole episode
1:18 to 1:28 the Corvette conversion shows its V8 sound without a sound dub. :-)
I could never work that out. Was the sound effects person on holiday? It also briefly develops an automatic gearbox.
Kit car chasing a kit car. Was a cool show. Did not age well though
@@mikehotchkiss8975 The very rare Porsche 906 (also known as the Carrera 6) used in the episode, one of just 65 produced in 1965-66 was a real one borrowed from a Florida collector.
@@cologne2792 lol. Good one. Thought it was a good bet it was kit also
@@mikehotchkiss8975 yeah, I don't believe they made Porsche 906 Carrera kit cars back then.
I like how they played it safe by using a mannequin.....just in case Sonny did not hit the brakes in time. LOL! I grew up watching this series. A huge fan. I even spent $5 dollars on a poster for my room. Loved the 80's.
4:00 - should be the cover of an excellent Synthwave album
Gosh, Porsche looks real. Worth a fair bit now.
It is. No one ever made a kit. Its worth well over a million today. The few replicas are worth six figures.
Still one of the best shows ever.
The Carrera 6 is a masterpiece with a matching soundtrack 😀
The Ferrari Daytona Spider Crockett and Tubbs drive in seasons one and two was in actuality a kit car; a plexiglass body on top of a Chevy Corvette chassis with a Corvette power plant, on Pirelli tires. It was cheaper than using a genuine Daytona Spider. Ferrari CEO Enzo Ferrari offered the use of a new white Ferrari Testarossa for seasons three to five.
Have a look at the pilot episode and see if you can spot the real one...
We know that about the Ferrari.
And I really preferred that kit Daytona to the Testarossa. Just looked cooler to me.
I thought I heard the Tesstarosa was originally black but they had it painted white?
@@gerardmcmillan8591 Correct. You can see the original black paint job in the S3:E1 "When Irish Eyes are Crying."
This show was the coolest of cool back in the 80's. You literally could get any cooler.
I recorded this on audio with a mike and used to listen to this every night because I couldn't afford a VHS recorder at the time.
My favorite tv show of the 80’s!!
The Fat Boys were the real stars of that episode!
Thank you for saying so! Everyone on this thread is talking about the f&$&ing cars!
Nice work flat-spotting all 4 tires Crocket!!
I LOVED this Show!!!! And still Do!!!
Wow that Porsche would be worth 2million now
Way more I think. They sold 993 RUF Turbo for 2 million just recently.
Don was out of character he was laughing forreal 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah and that Grandprix is next year for real. Love this serie.
This episode had it all!
"MTV Cops" on a napkin. Thanks, Brandon Tartikoff!
That Corvette(?) sounds absolutely fantastic.
It was a Ferrari Daytona Spyder 365 GTS/4 replica based on the Corvette C3
Just the kind of plot development that appeals to me. Someone eating a spliff, followed by a high speed car chase at night, followed by a dead body being dumped on the street.
Hello really good to see Miami Vice programe enjoyed watching thankyou for sharing
The Porsche 906 kinda reminds me of other 80's tv show hardcastle & mccormick featured auto the "coyote"
0:43 The guy on the right -- I didn't know Jon Tron time traveled back into the 80s just to appear on this show, lol ;)
Cheers from Kensington and Chelsea; in London.
This TV show was SUPERB.
I'm assuming it was popular here 🇬🇧 firstly.
It didn't fit well with Reagan.
BBC bought it and became No. 1 show in 80s UK.
Nobody went out on a Friday night when it was broadcast.
So your cousins over the pond helped somewhat.
🇬🇧🤝🇺🇲
I remember seeing this episode back in the day. Time flies.
I really enjoyed this episode I was a huge Danny Sullivan fan 🏁 ...
My favorite TV show
