Porsche 2.7 RS And The Pursuit Of Purity
I’ve learned something since I’ve started membership with this incredible site!!!! There are legions of Porsche 911 owners half of which are featured on here! LOL!!! Any-who… I Love the site, love the vids, love the articles an I love the work you guys put in for our benefit!
Thumbs up Petrolicious!
You’re obviously entitled to your opinion about the owner but I will remind you that the great car is in the video because the owner let it be in the video. Petrolicious videos are great because they are for the most part about the owners sharing their passion. While your might not agree with their opinions or fashion sense you should respect them for sharing them with a wider audience.
Let me correct that… nothing sounds like a good six (or indeed a twelve, which is really just two sixes). I’ve come to realise that, while some engines sound real good outside this, the best engine sounds are generally made my engines with multiples of 3 cylinders.
The engine does sound amazing, though. And while I’m not a Porsche fan myself, I do like the philosophy behind the RS, as the owner explained so well. And if you consider him a dork (son of stig, not Alex), well, it just shows you can’t mix culture in general with automotive culture. There are all kinds of petrolheads in this world, does being a cultured one makes him any less so than any of us? I don’t think so, but then again I might be in the same bracket as him because I can totally relate. Must be because I’m an engineer…
Amazing video. This is truly car porn at its best. I love every vid. I do wish this one was much longer. I am a P car 964 owner and would love to see an extended version or behind the scenes of this car in particular. Again beautiful job as always. You all do amazing work. Keep them coming.
Really Petrolicious? I’ve been waiting for this since Friday and the video is only four minutes long? I expected at least a feature length film for what is a holy grail car to many Porsche fans. Regardless of the disappointingly short video, the quality is top notch as always and the films truely do speak to who we are as car enthusiasts. Keep it up!
Love the car, great filmography and the engine noise/music.
However, I hate listening to architects. Film was much better silent despite losing the 2.7 noise. Listening to an architect pontificate might be the worst sound ever (worse than a mis-tuned diesel). Did you catch his contradiction? “Most other cars want to be trendy and move with the times rather than evolve with the times” (3:10). And yet, the beginning is all about “shaking it down to the essence” which is the opposite of evolving as “minimalist” is the trendy with the times movement in architecture. His point about his own car becomes mute because it was not just reducing, but evolving from a point. Yes, I spent too much time with architects. Sorry for the rant.
