I was incredibly lucky to find myself in Weissach that very day when the car rolled out on the track and I actually had half an hour to spare to watch this thing go around, even though it was behind the other car for photoshooting sequence, the sound radiated throughout the hills. Of course making any kind of photos or videos in confines of Weissach is strictly prohibited so I didn’t take any pic’s or videos, but it is absolutly a memory that will stay with me for a lifetime. Thank you Porsche.
WOW The 'mystical' LMP2000 - Great to see Allan back in the seat, great words from him too (25 again 😃), awesome videography catching the sites & sounds of that special car, great to see Timo, Norbert and the original team all on set reminiscing. More to come.....? 👍👍🙏🙏
Never thought I’d see the day! Bravo Porsche for bringing one of the biggest sports car mysteries back to life! I hope to see it run at an event someday.
as a sim racer, LMP900 is the pinnacle of weight/power/handling. the v8/v10/v12 engines, the open cockpit...there is just something so special about all the cars that competed in LMP900. I'd love to have ago in one in real life. ...more than any other race car.
kind of, the actual shell and body of the CGT is it's own thing, but this 5 liter V10 you're seeing did infact evolve into the 5.7 we got in that car, so in some ways yeah
The engine was vaguely close to it, it’s similar to how the bmw v10 is the same as the f1 v10, it’s less extreme of a transformation but yeah it’s certainly not the exact same engine.
The V10 that Porsche got on it was initially made for Formula One with Porsche being the supplier to Footwork in 1991, when Porsche made a V12 for Footwork's car. It didn't work out and Footwork cancelled the partnership with Porsche and returned to the Ford engines while Porsche was already developing a V10 for the 1992 season. That unused engine project was then placed into Porsche's archives for a few years before their planned successor to the 911 GT1 when the rule change to LMP was to come. The development of the LMP 2000 came to be, so Porsche decided to bring back that V10 project, readapting it for the then FIA GT LMP regulations but again, the V10 had its racing project cancelled by Porsche itself as the brand was focusing their then still limited budget on the development of the Cayenne with the comfort of still holding the record of Le Mans wins by a large margin to Ferrari. Once Porsche finished the project and had both the Cayenne and the Boxster on the market, they had enough budget to develop a new supercar and the Carrera GT concept did well with the public in Geneva, so they went with it and the result was the Carrera GT we know today.
Sehr, sehr geil das sich noch jemand an den schwarzen Martini-936 erinnert ❣️ Aber als Porsche-Nerd dieser und späterer Jahre muss ich leicht korrigieren: Stommelens Einsatz am Ring war alles andere als ein "Test"! Das war "full blown" Racing gegen die Top-Konkurrenz von Alpine-Renault, und das nicht nur unter Trainings-Bedingungen! Rolf hatte leider Pech im Rennen mit einem ("glücklicherweise") auf Vollgas-Stellung hängengebliebenen Gaszug, so konnte/musste er ziemlich lange in jeder Bremszone die Zündung mit dem "killl-switch" ausschalten, und kurz nach dem Scheitelpunkt wieder einschalten. Nicht ideal, aber es hat einigermaßen funktioniert. Die ganz große Story in dem Rennen war aber, das Stommelen den brandneuen 936 vor der versammelten Renault-Chefetage (die eigentlich angereist waren um einen dominanten Renault-Sieg zu feiern) erstmal auf Pole stellte, und DANN, kurz nach Renn-Start gleich BEIDE Alpine-Renault noch vor der Einfahrt zur Nordschleife parallel in die Fangzäune segelten, weil sie glaubten später als Stommelen Bremsen zu können 😂
Had the pleasure of "meeting" the LMP2000 at the Goodwood Festival of Speed during Porsche’s 70th anniversary celebrations. An interesting slice of Porsche history, especially when you consider what happened to the engine.
The missing link between the 911 GT1-98 and the 919 in the top category of world sportscar racing. Great to see the LMP2000 not only up and running again, but its history told too. For years, it remained under wraps, even though the engine was used as the basis for the Carrera GTs.
oh my god. this car was the genesis of the Carrera GT, my favorite Porsche of all time. it became a street car project after the LMP900 class was dropped, so this became a car designed to compete in a class that no longer existed. this is an incredible bit of motorsports history.
Lovely to see the LMP 2000 (9R3). Which was the fastest of the R8 and LMP 2000 we will never know but there's no question which is the best sounding. I'm sure Bob Wollek agrees from above.
Wow the RS Spyder was the sexiest lmp ever made but this one is another beauty...and the V10 engine...touch deep in your heart...I was at Monza on track in the first ever Wec race in 2004 doing my job making photos what a day should have been with this beauty 👍💪. Thanks Porsche...unicorn 🦄 indeed 🥹🥹🥹
Sadly, European Law does not allow them to, Porsche is very clear that the GT3 has two years left in it and no more, as it is not going to meet Euro 7 without being Downsized, Turbocharged, and fitted with Hybrid and more Gears, and that's a GT2, not a GT3. Euro 7 is the Death of Engines like this I am Afraid.
Wow Alan still with us..! Good nutrition good lifestyle balanced , positivity , contribute to health..i really like the historic professional track cars from Porsche.
The engine did. It was originally conceived as a 3,5 liter F1 engine, but was enlarged to 5-liters, and had its heads modified for regular valve train for endurance racing.
Amazing, the sound, the team, the dedication! It's just amazing for the car to still look new after over two decades! Both with design, and preservation!
Where can I apply for a job with Porsche heritage? I have ten years engineering experience in the automotive industry and a lifelong passion for racing and the technology around it! To work with those amazing cars from the 50s to 00s would be the absolute dream! Also Norbert Singer is such a legend to me!
... 💯🔥👌🏻...would have been great to see this car running against the similar Audi R8 at Le Mans 24 hour race in the Y2K...probably racing history at Le Mans would have been a different one...
That V10 was a beast glad Porsche find the way to make it live and put it in Carrera GT
It's always great to see Norbert Singer again....he has done so much for Porsche and Motorsport. Norbert is a living Legend🫡
The Nring lap time gonna go crazy
Not really going to worry the 919Evo
@Hix-Design
No but it’s crazy for being a restored car
Are they doing a lap?

Thank you so much to present this amazing LMP2000, Merci.
Fantastic, absolute work of art. Hopefully we'll be lucky enough to see the LMP 2000 in the flesh in the future

I doubt it due to emission refs

The heart and history of who Porsche is as a company and a Heritage Brand. 👏
Thrilled to see this prototype being unleashed with the legend Allan McNish behind the wheel. Danke Porsche !
Alan McNish one of the best Endurance drivers ever!!!
gods the sound of that thing is.. amazing, really makes me wish we saw it in a series.
very nice to see McNish driving again

What an absolute soundtrack! Music to our ears! 🩶
Amazing, Congratulations Porsche LMP
We need this car officially licensed in some computer games so we can enjoy that n/a V10 sound 🔊
Such a magnificent vehicle, One of my Top 3's If not the Top. Great job from Porsche.

Wanted to see this v10 in a modern hybrid Porsche!!
🙏
Such an elegant animal! Controlled fury: Raw and graceful,
What a glorious sound! I'm excited to see what they do with this piece of Porsche history.
This kind of video is why I subscribe 🙂
It's wonderful to bring into the light the one everyone rumoured about and regretted never having seen.
love that era of lmp cars
Very lovely looking race car. Even for a retro styled LMP one at that.
Thank you, Porsche, for bringing this awesome machine back out.
Still awesome after 25+ years…

One of the greatest cars.
The Myth, the Legend, the daddy of Carrera GT
Thank you, PORSCHE 🙏🏻
Vaya sonido!!!👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻
This was lovely,
Thanks Porsche.
Bring this to Endurance Racing Legends, meeting its team is not enough, it should meet its original competition
I'm lucky enough to have had a few laps around there in the hands of Porsche drivers on a factory visit, what a place, what a car marque.
Looks really special, amazing work by the entire team and can't wait to see what's next for the project.
Amazing!!!
Porsche Forever!!!
Welcome back LMP2000
The packaging on this is insane.
Gosh I love these videos and Allan is such a nice lad!

simply amazing. just amazing. bravo to the team!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is brilliant to see. Best brand in the world ❤❤❤
Arguably the most important sportscar of a generation.
Porsche should be making engines like this again. Less electrics and small hybrids, more NA engines!!!!
nobody will buy a car today who needs 50 liter fuel for 100 km.
@ I would.
So there goes your theory.

Best LMP era, that V10 is glorious
V20? Lol But I would pay to see a engine like that
@@mrfishsticks266 sorry, typo 😅
So much better than all the electric, hybrid and turbo stuff.
I hope this monster races in Le Mans classic and Daytona classic next year
simple beautiful

Adoro o motor adoro o som, a potência amo os V10 por favor voltem com os V10 nem que seja um V10 híbrido mas já é algumas coisa por favor❤
Amazing team!
The return of an old Porsche reminds me how bad I want a second generation Porsche 959
Amazing ❤ What a beautiful machine...
The best engine ever made
We need to see this V10 on a new Hyper Car, forget the electric.
Seria um sonho esse motor no Mission X e os motores híbridos

Please release raw onboard cam
Yes Carrera gt v10 ❤️
v10 😍
Please pass along a hello to Norbert. He is a hero of mine. Have a really lovely day.
And thats how a race car sposed to sound
Nice car and sound.
We want to see it with Timo on the Nordschleife. Please.👍🚘👍
If it wasn't for Michael J Fuller, we would never have known this car even existed until it was finally publicly revealed in 2018.
It looks amazing it sounds amazing and i hope that someone gonna do a mod for assetto corsa or something. its a shame that this car never raced

Always been fascinated by this car. Such a shame it didn’t go up against Audi in the 2000s
A lifetime ago, when Le Mans was about engineering and not BOP.
100%
that was 4 years ago and it died out due to costs

@@Supcharged are you talking about f1? the series where innovation is banned?
@@nuztuz903 If you think innovation is banned in F1, what do you think is the current rules in WEC?
