Nice! For anyone who didn't click, this is classic 70's footage. I am assuming its dealership/factory video.

It's funny that the factory footage shows the cars in real world with snow, ice and rain. New 911's at the time were taken out on the road and driven like they had been stolen. Factory drivers had first shot at breaking them before they went to the customer.

Wait . . . . you mean they can get wet?


I really like the crash test footage. Pretty amazing performance for 70's vintage vehicle. Having lost my 1st teener to a negligent driver & a rear end crash, I can state that it performs just as well in real world.

Revving the heck out them too. One of the clips the tach went deep into the 6 territory.

Its a total shame there is no sound track.

I think some of the footage from LeMans was from the Steve McQueen LeMans movie.

Id never seen crash test footage before.

cool video...I had not seen all of the clips before.
Interesting on the test driver footage of the orange 914 in the slalom course and around the test track. The lean of a 914 on stock suspension and 70' state of the art 155/165 radial tires. Did you notice on the crash test listing the VOPO 914.
Fun to watch...thanks for the post

That car has rusted to nothing by now. I can hear the rust eating the metal in those shots of driving on the wet snowy roads.

Ok, I only made it through the first 40 secs and went

Any idea what they were cooling with the air intake ducts on the rear fenders this car?

Excellent video.

Great video.
Simpler times, smaller more efficient cars....

Did anyone else hear the driving music from the original "The Love Bug" movie whilst watching this?
