It's really quite amazing Porsche never made a flat-8 road car, when you consider their success with them. I realize the flat-6 is kind of Porsche's thing, but looking across their entire range you could get a Porsche powered by a V6, V8, V10, 4-cylinder, hybrid, electric, and/or diesel. But no flat-8 available from the company that made it famous.

Thats cause a flat v12 would be impractical because it wouldn't fit in any engine bay smaller than a Mitsubishi 3000gt and even then it'd be a tight fit. Also having to take the motor out to do anything to cylinders, sparkplugs, etc etc

Ferdinand Piech created 2 914/8 prototypes to demonstrate the 908's race engine in a road car. As a 60th birthday present, he gifted the second to Ferdinand Porshe, who apparently showed no interest. It was like the Carrera GT of its day

Well,that's a good question. It brings back memories back when I used to own the 911 series from late 70es to late 90es as a daydriver and often wondered about significantly improving performance overall while keeping its practicality and sticking to NA engine.I presume there was room enough inside the 911SC bodyshell to place a flat 8 into it though I never heard of such an upgrade on a 911.

Another great Porsche video. I like the old fashioned actual manual gear box changes. It sounds like a real racing car. Thanks for posting

Fantastic sounding car and yes, I completely agree. I’m a traditional manual transmission guy myself, and the manual shifting just adds to the fantastic sound.

I'm suprised Switzerland allowed this? I thought they banned motoracing after 1955? Love the car and very cool hillclimb roads. Awesome vid.

Why are there (nearly) no spectators at this event?
@19Bozzy92
11 ай бұрын
A mix of things in my opinion. First of all the road is closed very early in the morning and most of the people who came there to see the event arrive more calmly in mid morning, but at that time they are forced to remain in a specific public area close to the finish line (which I've never recorded so far but I would like to cover in the future). Very few spots to park the car along the course, so you need to walk and, for the same reason up there, you only have a couple of hours during lunch break to move on the road, but it's kinda dangerous as it's very busy on weekends. Even if cars are really interesting, unfortunately it's a revival hillclimb and not part of any competitive championship so it's not easy to attract public. Last but not least the weather conditions. Being at high altitudes it's always possible to find strong winds, low temperatures, low clouds/fog and showers of rain. But I'm quite confident this event will grow little by little ;)
