I have an older 986 Boxster and I have done this road, but unfortunately not in the Porsche, but in a hire car! One day perhaps I’ll get there in the Boxster at dawn, but until I do, I’ll just have to keep watching this video!
9 years old…..wow, still one of my favorite videos…still one of my favorite cars; and still a video that keeps me thinking that Harry is one of the very best
Here I am, some 5 years later, standing through the test of time marvelling at this masterful piece of cinematography. What an epic drive, more please!
This video did 981 generation justice, not that it was too hard to do as it is just that good. Until 718 gt4 happened, 981 has been THE best in my eyes.
That is exactly what I wanted to say. I have watched this over and over, and it only gets better the more I watch it. That car, in that specification, with that sound, honestly I can't think of a better specced Boxter than that. Watching it drive round these beautiful sceneries is, in my mind, the perfect combination. Add to that the dramatic but astounding music, and you've got indeed one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. Keep up the good work Evo, and Henry, thanks for this amazing piece of artistic footage.
Just coming back from Mallorca / Cap formentor with the exact same configuration (except I have the turbo wheels) => best drinving expérience of my Life!!!! Thanks for inspiring me 😊😊
Back in 2007 I was working in pollença, we used to drive out to cap formentor after clubbing in my mates Clio sport to watch the sun come up. Great times
I watched this video when it first came out and I fell instantly in love with the 981...now I finally have one. Even on video...the howl of the flat six still gives me the tingles..
I just come back from Mayorca. If you don't have enough money to rent a Porsche, I highly recommend a Mazda MX-5 (from 65€ per day). For me, driving this little toy on twisty roads of Mayorca was one of the best moments in my life. Best vacation destination for a petrolhead :)
being 19 years old, i cant even rent a mx5 here. going to drive these roads in a fiat 500. hopefully i'll get the twinair turbo 875cc 2 cyl for the sound alone 😅
This may be the most beautiful driving clip ever created; the shots of the landscape and the sea and the road (and the soundtrack!!) brought a lump to my throat. Absolutely stunning. Cinematic art of a very high order. Big thanks.
Thank you so much for this video !! Just bought mine also in carmin red with int/ext GtS package. And you know what ??? We go in Mallorca this summer 😊😊😊😊😊
I went for the 981 but I must admit, discovering it was a video with Henry C and those landscapes....Epic.Thanks Evo, Henry C...and Porsche ofc for making this 981GTS.
It feels people who drive a Porsche Boxster seem to enjoy their cars more..... This video certainly makes me feel that a Boxster is all the sports car one ever needs....
+Augusto Ortiz I was actually the biggest Porsche-fan ever. I test-drove a Boxster. I don't know If it was Boxster S or just Boxster. It was okay. Afterwards I drove a Audi TT 2015 and I can honestly say it was way more fun :D
+Keyvan - not a chance in hell, i have driven SLK's and TT's, they both feel numb next to a boxster, perhaps more comfortable but not even in the same class when it comes to cornering and sports car feel
The brand new TT is something else. But yea the Porsche gave me more looks 😀 and I'm pretty sure it would beat Slk and TT on a track. But I tested them on a normal road, highway, city etc
Just stunning! No matter how many times I watch this, it gets me every time and I can't believe it's 9 years old. Beautifully shot, incredible sound and the perfect car for the job. Henry just has a way of bringing life to any video, then and now. A masterpiece by the master! Thank you!
2016 GTS erhalten....jetzt 2023 immer noch im Besitz................das Video habe ich sicher 50 mal angeschaut, dank dem Viedo bestellt.....alles Richtig gemacht.😊
The ending suggests to you that the otherworldly imagery of the surroundings is matched only by the haunting sound of this automobile. A sound so animalistic, it almost feels like it is leaving us at the end to return to its home in the wilds of Mallorca. Brilliant.
As the others below, I have watched this video numerous times. I have also owned a Boxster GTS similar to the one in this video. Both are really great. I keep thinking that these EVO videos were really a highpoint of this genre. Thankfully, Catchpole is still working his magic.
I wouldn´t have believed that the Boxster with sports exhaust sounds so glorious, very close to Ferrari´s V8s actually. Absolute amazing video, shots, mood, music...a much more complete approach to the topic than the TopGear story of some years ago. Driving heaven!
Amazing. Just amazing! One of the most beautifully shot (and greatest sounding!) videos on here. Well done Henry and the Evo team. Majorca looks just gorgeous. Who needs Trip Advisor!
Beautiful video. I have been to Mallorca several times but never drove on a road like that. I have a 2022 Porsche Boxster GTS on order for delivery in November. It is Carmine Red with Chalk white leather seats. I love watching this video of what will soon be a similar car that I will own. I ordered the PDK and almost every other option, Thanks.
I drove 718 boxster on this road. This was the gratest driving experience I ever had. Maybe this is not that fast car but has enough power for this road. Just amazing🔥
By far the best EVO video of 2014 in my opinion. Henry Catchpole, a manual Porsche Boxster GTS and the most beautiful footage and sound captures. It's perfection :-)
I do not get easily overexcited, do not post comments everywhere stating how awesome something was, but this really is mind blowing footage. Congrats and many thanks for shooting and posting that. Every element, starting from the choice of the car, the way it was filmed, the soundtrack and finally epic location, they all combine into this masterpiece... Watched it 3 times straight and can not think of anything else than driving one of the new GTS through Mallorca...
I’ve not watched this before, God knows how I could have missed it, being a Porsche fan. Wow! Fantastic scenery & fantastic car. Beautifully produced video. Absolutely brilliant.
Wow wow wow wow wow. Top film making Mr. Catchpole, Mr. Riley and Evo. Probably the best video I have seen on RUclips. What a car and what amazing roads!
ArnageLM I'm amazed its Majorca.....I mean i know deja and i knew it was pretty away from Palma .....but what a beautiful island....and what a road....and the perfect car for it ......
10 years ago I watched this when it came out and it inspired me to buy my first porsche. Today I have 2, one of which is a GTS. This video, just like the cars, only get better with age.
Two days ago we woke up at 5am in Palma and drove over there in a 911 Carrera Cabriolet (and yes cab is the way to go to hear all the sounds of nature and your sporty car engine sound reverberating against the cliffs). Goats and sheep were the only obstacles. Zero cars or bikes that early. Watched the sunrise at Cap de Formentor with a small crowd then quickly headed down to MA-10 over to Sa Calobra. By the way that early morning MA-10 cutover to Sa Calobra is spectacular in itself if you like speed and long stretches of acceleration. The MA-2141 (road to SC) was also quite empty when we arrived about 7:30am (maybe 1-2 cars in the way but they yielded quickly). Drove down to the bottom and walked over to Torrent de Pareis for a beach rest with my new friend for an hour or so. Empty beach, hearing only waves hitting the sand nothing else. When we decided to go I handed her the keys to drive back up Sa Calobra then all the way back down MA-10 to Andratx (she was overwhelmed). Needless to say, we found our mutual passion for driving together that day.
Is this a Dean Smith production? If so hats off my man - that was the best EVO video yet in my eyes. Loved the introduction and the videography - liked the classical music too. As said below in more colloquial terms Catchpole you are a jammy, jammy git -good work guys well done...
Great video. Just a word of praise the the camera operators, who are the unsung hero's of good films.While the drivers are enjoying themselves, these Guy's have to wait around for long periods to perfect their art.
goddamn. You dont need any more than this. No need for more HP, this chassis and that engine complement each other perfectly. what a fucking car, never thought i'd say that about a boxster
Johhny England It was never a hair dressers car. That was the liberal media who named it this because they hate cars and attack them at every opportunity. Such as calling SUV's soccer mom cars.
It's a great fukin car, that's all that counts. Little short on power, that is what mods are for! Had mine for 10 years, I just want to drive it forever.
This is the best ever car / road review vid. Even beats Clarkson's short 'Wonderful, wonderful wonderful' Aston V12 Vantage tribute which was brilliant, but this is so pleasureable to watch again and again. Pure high art...Awesome! 👍🏻😍😄
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this
Ditto 😬
FISHURMOMBALL same here, I keep coming back for the boxster, I love that car.
Totally agree - just watched this again; it's one of my fave vids on RUclips
I think I’m here for my 6th time lol
I have an older 986 Boxster and I have done this road, but unfortunately not in the Porsche, but in a hire car! One day perhaps I’ll get there in the Boxster at dawn, but until I do, I’ll just have to keep watching this video!
For me, still one of the best Porsches going.
9 years old…..wow, still one of my favorite videos…still one of my favorite cars; and still a video that keeps me thinking that Harry is one of the very best
I hope ICE cars are available to drive normally by the time you have your license! ❤
Here I am, some 5 years later, standing through the test of time marvelling at this masterful piece of cinematography. What an epic drive, more please!
This video did 981 generation justice, not that it was too hard to do as it is just that good. Until 718 gt4 happened, 981 has been THE best in my eyes.
M156 Charles I couldn’t agree more! 👍
Still marvelling, and still driving my Boxster. I'm getting the 911 and would love to drive on thi roads
This is honestly one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. The shots, the sounds, the scenery and the car. All perfect together.
+HandsomeAlex25 i agree i can watch it over and over again
+HandsomeAlex25 Completely agree. Just awesome.

Have been to sa calobra… absolutely stunning and i have to agree, it is not a road anymore, its art
I’m currently wedded to a base 981, but I see a GTS in my future. This video is all the inspiration I need. 👍
You will not be sorry if you take the plunge Peter
Hey look! A 12 minute video I can watch without paying monthly!
Never change EVO, never change
Just coming back from Mallorca / Cap formentor with the exact same configuration (except I have the turbo wheels) => best drinving expérience of my Life!!!! Thanks for inspiring me 😊😊
Back in 2007 I was working in pollença, we used to drive out to cap formentor after clubbing in my mates Clio sport to watch the sun come up. Great times
Evo has outdone itself here. Love these little features and Henry is just a genuine car guy not trying to put on a fake persona.
Yes, you can really feel his emotion coming through the screen.
This may be the greatest car related video ever made
Speechless.. Porsche Boxster GTS and such a beautiful roads, what else do you need?!.. Gorgeous.. Envy
The crackle and pop from that exhaust. ASMR right there.
I watched this video when it first came out and I fell instantly in love with the 981...now I finally have one. Even on video...the howl of the flat six still gives me the tingles..
Is this the greatest driving video on RUclips?

I hired a Panda, great especially if you need to dodge tourists driving wide on the wrong times of the day
A ile moze kosztowac wypozyczenie takiego boxstera?
Actually in Mallorca with a mx5, driving these great roads. It is perfect !
Fully agree!👌🏼
I keep coming back to this video even 4 years later! I just bought one of these cars as well so now it's even better to me!
2021 still going strong
I still get goosebumbs even after watching this for more than 50 times. Reminds me of the wonderful time I owned a Porsche myself.....good work EVO!
This little film deserves an award.
This may be the most beautiful driving clip ever created; the shots of the landscape and the sea and the road (and the soundtrack!!) brought a lump to my throat. Absolutely stunning. Cinematic art of a very high order. Big thanks.
Mallorca is Home you just dont know it yet but soon you will =)
Thank you so much for this video !! Just bought mine also in carmin red with int/ext GtS package. And you know what ??? We go in Mallorca this summer 😊😊😊😊😊
I went for the 981 but I must admit, discovering it was a video with Henry C and those landscapes....Epic.Thanks Evo, Henry C...and Porsche ofc for making this 981GTS.
almost 4 years old and i seem to always come back to it.
THIS is the dream, and Henry gets paid to live it! You Sir forever have my deepest respect!
Still returning to this years later. Man...❤
It feels people who drive a Porsche Boxster seem to enjoy their cars more..... This video certainly makes me feel that a Boxster is all the sports car one ever needs....
Trust me drive one, does not matter which year or model. You will end up buying one for sure. They are just the best fun

We've got a 987, and it's very true.
I still come back to this.. Wonderful pairing of car and location, on top of excellent editing and soundtrack
Man of a few words. Love it. No need to constantly talk. Just let the scenery and exhaust captivate you.
Just stunning! No matter how many times I watch this, it gets me every time and I can't believe it's 9 years old. Beautifully shot, incredible sound and the perfect car for the job. Henry just has a way of bringing life to any video, then and now. A masterpiece by the master! Thank you!
This video is professional quality and I keep on playing it. Thanks Henry
One of the very few videos which leave you speechless, simply breathtaking beautiful.

I did exactly the same 😊
In Racinggelb ? @@stephaneallroad8789
These video shots should be on every car video ever made. Very well done.
I come back to rewatch this clip over again. What a beautiful it is.
This needs more views!
The ending suggests to you that the otherworldly imagery of the surroundings is matched only by the haunting sound of this automobile.
A sound so animalistic, it almost feels like it is leaving us at the end to return to its home in the wilds of Mallorca.
Brilliant.

still one of my favorite automotive videos
The best car video ever? Probably. Why do I love cars and driving? This.

It is Carmine Red with Chalk white leather seats. I love watching this video of what will soon be a similar car that I will own. I ordered the PDK and almost every other option, Thanks.
Still a masterpiece of RUclips-car-vids!!!
this may just be my favourite driving video ever.
Who ARE the 29 people who 'disliked' this? Are you human? If its not your thing, then its a bit harsh to dislike this quality piece from Evo
Jealous guys 😅
This is great piece of art. The car the roads the whole video is pure class, great job.
This has to be one of my absolute favourite car videos.
How did I miss this one? This is the finest piece of automotive journalism on youtube - Chris Harris included.
I drove 718 boxster on this road. This was the gratest driving experience I ever had. Maybe this is not that fast car but has enough power for this road. Just amazing🔥

10 years ago I watched this when it came out and it inspired me to buy my first porsche. Today I have 2, one of which is a GTS. This video, just like the cars, only get better with age.
Almost got choked up watching the beauty of this place

Unfortunatly not as fun as the Boxster 😂

“You can go no further”, is what I exactly was thinking after the drive and view; nothing else to ask for
A truly special piece of film, well done Evo!
I have watched this 100s times and I love it. I have a similar car and will go there one day!
What a great tribute to this car
Just stunning every time I watch this.
I think it's more fun to own than a Ferrari, what a legend of driving fun!
I'm waiting for my 1st Porsche, a Boxster S, to arrive...Wish I could drive this road ! Lovely - just lovely.
My eyes welled up, the hairs on my arm stood up in applause at the end.
BRAVO!
Amazing video, Porsche GTS and Mallorca scenery!!
Great video. Just a word of praise the the camera operators, who are the unsung hero's of good films.While the drivers are enjoying themselves, these Guy's have to wait around for long periods to perfect their art.
goddamn. You dont need any more than this. No need for more HP, this chassis and that engine complement each other perfectly. what a fucking car, never thought i'd say that about a boxster
It has become great!
michael G ha ha .....i agree ....boxster was filed under hairdressers car but the bloody thing is a different animal now ......everone raves about it
Johhny England
It was never a hair dressers car. That was the liberal media who named it this because they hate cars and attack them at every opportunity.

Charles Lu I bet it has enough power for throwing it around the corners with ease. No need for mods
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Thank you Catchpole for keeping our passion more alive than ever.
This is what car lovers video content should be measured against. Please EVO more of these type of videos.
he gets payed to do this ... jesus life isn't fair :)
My thoughts exactly.
Hey Harry, I know you're busy and all but you have to go to Mallorca and drive a Porsche around. Here's some money for your troubles.
Just be happy they're not charging for us for it.
R.I.P comma.
*****
Indeed mate!
To be really honest, this vid alone is better than any other vid /Drive has ever done, and it's free
Watched it probably ten times ❤️
20 😂
@@stephaneallroad8789 I need to watch it more then - because it’s legendary 😃
Best EVO video I have ever seen. And have been lucky enough to drive on those roads myself... Unfortunately not with a Porsche :(
Great road, photography, and sports car!
I am actually booking a holiday to Majorca because of this video!
I did too.
And I had to go back a second time!
I have watched this repetitively for more than 20 times lol, Henry, please bring back more "Great Drives" Series :).
Wow! One of EVO's best videos to date... Wonderful job Harry, simply awesome!!!
Utterly stunning
Love it Henry! Thanks EVO for continuing to provide quality content like this at no cost to us car nuts.
If you like Porsche’s the this is probably one of the best videos on RUclips - wow, just wow....👍👍👍👍👍
EVO makes the best videos. Hands down.
Beautiful couldn't have picked a better car for this
Superb, cant believe how sweet that Boxster sounds
Perfect combination between car and road.
An incredible drive. Now this is what I call morning motivation.
Using as a measure this road, this scenery and this cinematography, I have to say that Henry is an amazing storyteller.
Bravo Catchpole. A truly excellent viddie.
2024 i’m still here
Stunning piece of video, car and road, keep it up Evo.
This episode is basically art. Fucking brilliant.
What did he mean by questionable smoked taillights? They look stunning!
This is an amazing video and that car sounds fantastic!
I drove these roads in a Maserati (wish it was with the Porsche I have in LA). Who would had thought a kid from Mexico would be so lucky!
Absolutely Amazing!! Thanks EVO for these 12 dreaming minutes!
Well made video - timeless, and what an awesome photographer and post editing work.
This is the best ever car / road review vid. Even beats Clarkson's short 'Wonderful, wonderful wonderful' Aston V12 Vantage tribute which was brilliant, but this is so pleasureable to watch again and again. Pure high art...Awesome! 👍🏻😍😄
my goodness this is genius work. you guys are the best! what a video.
Just wow! Thank you for sharing this with us. I think EVO is maybe the best automotive channel here on RUclips. Keep on going on! :)
