Which prototype should Porsche have made?

The W124 with the Porsche V8... If I could own any of them, that would be the one I'd want to take home. Although I guess it wouldn't be as special if it made it to production, so what would be the point? And which factory would have built it? So many questions arise from that hypothetical scenario. But I'm almost tempted to look into doing a replica... I mean, how hard could it be? 🤔 Yeah I said it, never forget the TG glory days.

Did someone have a bad day? Most of these are weird, but to blast most of them for being ugly is a bit of a stretch. I personally love the quirky, bold and fun experiments that they did. The world of cars can be extremely conforming, especially Porsches. I'm all for honesty as a reviewer, but I perceive this as a mocking attempt at humor, which is missing the goal.

Thought the same thing. He rolls into the Porsche Heritage Center and then proceeds to bag over EVERYTHING. I saw the Panamericana at the Chicago auto show and LOVED it. Piss on this guy. The Speedster literally is what the 1989 Speedster was save for maybe the shell over the rest of the interior. The 928 was the shit and is basically a very early Panamera. They’re concepts for a reason. They’re test mules for the future.

Hard to believe now but there was a time when the idea of a four door Porsche was the stuff of a fever dream.

I'm old enough to remember when the Panamericana was new. It was on the cover of several car magazines. I've been a big Porsche fan since the early 80's. Thanks.

Great video BUT, I wish there was more b roll showing of these beautiful machines. It feels like every car was only shown at one or two angles and that I’ve only seen about 9.11% of every car

That Panamericana is insane. Love it.

I remember some of those from car magazines I read as a kid in the 1980s. I never got that Panamericana out of my head (especially those bespoke tire-treads and the fact that Ferry hated it), but I had forgotten the four-door, four-seat 928. Seeing that one again here, I wonder if Mazda were thinking of that car when they were designing their RX-8.

Those 'freaks' are far more interesting and desirable than 99% of Porsche models. I love stuff like this

Saw the thumbnail car and many of these others at the new museum. Amazing experience.

So glad Top Gear did a runner-up video, I hope in the future they'll go to other heritage museums like Ferrari or something.

I was fortunate enough to see the Panamericana in person over a decade ago when in a Porsche exhibition at our state museum. It’s quirky in the best ways, and I love it.

Not shown this time, but I adore the van/mpv concept Porsche did a few years back.

Oh that W124 with the Porsche V8 is the one I'd have to have... If they'd let you choose one. I'm all about having the only one of something at a car show and there's no way someone else is showing up in one of those.

I really liked Toms presentation on this. Good stories and his passion really came through. Any one how can make porsche - brilliant but dry as a marque - interesting gets a thumbs up from me

Oh my god, these are all so cool 😂 Listen man, I love Porsches in general, but my absolute favorite is that G-Wagon just because of the story, they couldn't bring a support car so they just entered another race car that had the supplies AND STILL GOT 6TH PLACE. That is just amazing man 😂

Thanks for doing the Panamericana. Most kids had Lambo or Ferrari posters, I had this Porsche. It didn't show the whole car, & being before the Internet, I didn't know what it actually looked like. It's better than I imagined!

The Porsche concept car that i've absolutely fallen in love with is the Porsche 904 Living Legend. The styling is very much a supercar version of the Cayman, with hints of 918 Spyder in there. The powertrain seemed questionable though, but my god, I want Porsche to make that concept a reality, even if it's a one off.

Great insight and really well presented, wished it would have been a lot longer as there are a lot of interesting cars there.

The fact that Porsche refuses to do a limited production of the "917 Living Legend" concept is beyond heresy.

Fantastic video, I’d love more videos of secret car vaults !

Love the oddballs. That Panamericana is ace. Love the 924/944 DP Cargo's too.

Great video. Thank you Tom.

The world would be a whole lot better if Porsche comes out with a proper 3-box sedan!

That 4 door 928 is so damn cool! I wish that was the normal 928 we got everywhere.

That damn Panamericana Targa is freaking amazing...(and yes, that IS a Targa top, do the research. That EXACT retracting roof mechanism was used in Porsche Targa models only).

Loving the 928 estate, similar to the 944 bib estate produced in the 90s.

Oh man that 932 front end is perfection, much nicer than the panamera…

the panamericana is incredible wow

The 928 is my favorite Porsche. I love that concept. Very very cool I wish they did make it cuz then the age of it it would have been easier for me to afford.

That Panamericana is glorious!

I could spend an entire day in this place.

Ya know what I love? The oil spots under all the cars.

those bespoke tires are pretty cool on the Pramerica

Great video!

The G-Wagen 928 woud've been formidable! I think that Porsche designed the Type 955/957 with that wonderful concept and experience from the G-Wagen 928 at the Dakar Rally in mind; performance of the 955/957 can be seen at the Transsyberian Rally!

I love concepts cars and their gimmicks. Coming from an engineering background these conceptual designs are responsible for pushing innovation further and further, in order to achieve greater efficiency, which is the main philosophy at Porsche.

Porsche fanatic and I’ve never seen, the blue one 💯

Shows that Porsche doesnt do shortcuts...3 generations of development to get to the Panamera, and that's why it came out perfect❤❤❤

The four-door 928 is awesome

"If one is not failing at times, then one is not challenging oneself." - Ferdinand Porsche

Gimme that W124. I miss my old one.

Very nice, Tom.

i tihnk that first on is cool as hell

Heaven is a place on earth❤

Interesting stuff. But why show us only the front of the 4 door 932?!

I like the Risky Business style music. 😀

That 3rd car was THE 🐝'S KNEES!

The Mercedes collaborations are a bit odd considering they've always been somewhat related to Volkswagen and Audi, and those companies both had vehicles that probably could have provided similar results, particularly Audi Quattro sedans and wagons.

The Panamerica is Gurple in color, definitely. 🤔

Great Cars and great report 🍩

THe 928 H50 oh my god that is awesome!! honestly beats the Panamera!

Porschedes sounds like the coolest thing in history

Tyre noise tester? What about the wind noise created by the plumbing and boilers attached to the outside? How did that work?

It's just the "Schwimmwagen". It definitely isn't a "vagen"... Because there isn't such a thing existing in the German language. It's really amazing, that so many "Anglo-Saxons" very often are so damn arrogant, ignorant and fu.....ng lazy, that they can't even pronounce just one simple German word with correct letters in the right order. I just imagined, as a German, if I ever had such problems with simple English words and terms. Putting letters in the right order...

How about the vs transporter with the the Porsche power plant?

Pretty cool!

What was that motorcycle all about?

personally i prefer to think inside the box, given the outside is so popular

I hope there's another 20 episodes to come......

I ❤ how this video is 9:18

The first one, minus the zipper top (targa top instead) and yes the interior colors were a bit much. White with black accents would have popped.

That first Porsche was 80s Baja all the way. Thing would've been a hit for boomers in southern California back then

They are literally the Stuttgart homies

that looks like the disco volante!

Panamericana should’ve been in full offroad race setup. Ferry might’ve dug it if they committed.

They rotate the display in the museum, not really secret?

Usually I like Porsche design, but with Panamericana.. Were Porsche designers trolling Ferry? Actually, car is not that far from being a good-looking. Take a look - this took me literally 10 minutes in Paint, and +10 to charisma of the car: /watch?v=H5JsE4rey3M All you had to do: - "install" missing front halves of both fenders - front and rear (this would improve aerodynamics and visual appeal) - add air duct on the rear for brake/engine cooling (and to keep that styling "fender line") - and swap the headlights:)

That one Porsche that removes all the engine noise and exhaust noise, did they think about the wind noise? Because it's definitely louder than a normal Porsche

Love the suicide door shootingbrake

Would have been good if we could have seen more of the cars🙄
