Doug the type of guy to get injured just so he can use the first-aid kit of the 959
Thanks daddy doug

You know you’re driving something special when someone takes pictures of your car out of a Lamborghini
Eh, it's a Lamborghini, they're probably just doing it so they can hold their solid gold Apple watch out the window for everyone to see. Yeah, we see your watch, we also know that technology will be dated in 6 months and almost obsolete in 3 years. How much was it you paid for your $400 worth of technology? Oh, $15 000? That's pretty sweet... Or, you know, they might have just been stoked about seeing a 959. Who are we to judge?
I've experienced this! But it's probably cause I was leaving Caffeine and Octane, so like 500 people there were driving Lamborghinis, and I have a moderately funny license plate on my G37s.

@@overlex why didn't he review a singer yet
Lambo driver, "No, No, No, No"! 👍😁
It is incomprehensible to me that this car was built in the 80's. This is an absolute engineering masterpiece.
why did anything was invented about car engeniering after the 80´s?all are "children of the revolution"without taking any credit to Mark Bolan from T-rex ,the band not the dyno
It in bad boys 1995
pretty sure that's a 911 homeboy, although it's been a while since I've seen bad boys
@@greybush919 well for sure isn't and not sold in the U.S. it is just a reponse to the at the time built F40 from Ferrari that only had the things absolutelly necessary to be driven , no interiors no window of glass to be opened, one piece of thread to open the door , no interiors at all but soon after porshe released this numbered edition car that had all interiors complete ,even as a joke engeniers talked about the high-end sound system and much faster than the striped F40 , sold instantelly and being numbered , in the U.S. wanted 3 cars to destroy so they can meet U.S. standarts but porshe said NO , they were selling to fast by big money to send 3 cars to be destroyd so no new fastest car in the world for the U.S. , one thing that i never understood is what standarts are those any U.S. car built today except the corvette ,no longer a chevrolet ,only corvette with the two flags crossed that it seems not built in the U.S. this because all other cars are so bad built ,they for sure look good but like the camaro or chalenger looking like old 70's cars cant turn as good as the cheapest toyota even the prius would win in any competition excluding the 400 meters straight race where they are better but not considered an automotive sport ,why don't they aply those standarts in internal production , in my age i would like to buy a camaro but the first time i tried one i even thought that the car had fallen from a truck but no it was just like they were built ,i had my passion for late 60's early 70's U.S. cars and had some ,and win a lot of money buying them to be sold in Europe where no one had heard of a fuel crisis or to young growing up to worry about some teatrical fuel crisis ,no stop by the pump workers asking for better paid work so what crisis in the U.S. still today there are the biggest petrol reserves , at the time i didn't undersyand and today i'm not going to loose my time left in this world to think about it , but this car only several years after was dethroned by the maclaren F1 the car with 3 seats one in the midle and two by each side a bit behind that not even the veiron can beat at least in the first km or miles , in top speed is faster but till then maclaren rules and not only with the mid 90's model , but if a exclusivelly F1 champion brand produces a few cars to be driven on the road for sure will be faster not the most beautifull cars but they do work , to end i want to refer the civic crx the first 90"s model only 1.6L with 16 valves in-line four cylinder if in good condition can leave behind any last ten years remakes of known " muscle cars" in a circuit with turns that needs a good driver to corner them fast would win with a civic crx but the lowest engine in the series ,i know because i tried it , a friend had just restored one honda civic from 1990 with no change in the engine to super turbo charged 7 L V8 engines ,like the english says , " it's a laugh" and when younger i bought a mercury cougar 69 7 L engine V8 all black if memory doesn't fail me it was a RX 7 but i make confusion with the 80's fords xr3 i 1.6 L escort what a car that was or the fiesta RS 1600 ,and on top the Sierra cosworth wich was a 4X4 car ,in-line engine and was the winer of the GT championship a Ford developed in Belgium , thats a great car compared with new others fro. the same brand in th U.S. .Off course the shelby cobra mustang ,recent model when one enters one it feels like those early computer games with litle lights all over but to buy one ,theres maybe a 100 cars first on the list , one doesn't need to know how to drive the car computer makes it for you, nice one christmas tree style , regards and health
@@greybush919 its base its the 911 or 939 but not close to it , its a one of a kind car, as most of the models released today not counting the SUV or the four door family car ,the 714 its an hell of a car ,i think i would prefer it.Regards

Underrated comment haha
@@TimSlee1 i think him judging cars that are 20 to 30 years old by "modern" standards is just plain dumb. I honestly don't take his reviews seriously whatsoever, it's mostly just for entertainment/curiosity.
@@TimSlee1 I know. 8 out of 10 for 0-60 in 3.8 seconds? Honestly.
@@gmann6269 Well, 3.8 seconds is certainly not the fastest and to get a 9 you must be at least 3.5 seconds fast.
10:58 spotted Doug owned Ford GT. Arrived in style
Love the Ford gt
lmao, you gotta show up in something nicer than an '05 corolla to review a 959!
I had a very wealthy family friend who used to own one of these spectacular cars... (He had around 10 different Porsches and a few oddballs like a Prowler and a Jag too). The 959 was his baby... He loved that car... Even such, he let me go for a ride in it and I still remember it to this day...
what did he do

When guys in a Lambo roadster are taking vids of the car you're driving, you know you're in a special car.
literally what I was thinking
Min?
Does that happen in this video? I didn’t see that haha
@@sandovaljimenezluis5571 34:54
That was priceless, I laughed out loud. But clearly, the lambo guy was an enthusiast who recognized and appreciated a legend.
And a massive thanks to the owner for letting you (and us) experience this. I was expecting this to be a non-driving video like the Enzo. So awesome to see it in action!
Still upset about the Enzo aren't you? Yeah me too :/
If he did it in USA probably he would drive it. The Enzo was in Australia, I would understand the owner being concerned, LHD and left side traffic does not really raise confidence in driving. Maybe if it was a USA owner then sure the owner would probably let Doug drive it.
That Enzo video was one of the biggest disappointments. That owner should be ashamed!
@@1swttl iirc it was on sale in a Melbourne showroom.
aeiouxs but all of Doug’s reviews from cars from CNC motors were all for sale too! And he still got to drive all of them!
17:43 honestly, it has one of the few old school steering wheels i really like, it looks old shool futuristic
He’s just a little dougie boy
I'm sorry but i think that the steering wheel, the seats and the interior in general look cheap and ridiculous unlike the rest of the car
wouldve been better with the three spoke steering seen on some 911s
Love the exhaust note too, sounds so smooth and not too loud.

Doug: "I'm surprised it's this fast"
A 200mph car can still feel relatively slow if it doesn't accelerate all that fast, and on paper, the 959 has a slower 0-60 time than some literal soccer mom cars Doug had reviewed at this point. So yes, the fact he was still impressed by its speed is pretty surprising.
@@ZCAB It does 0 to 60 in 3.6 seconds. What soccer mom cars has Doug reviewed that are equally fast or faster?
@@Oscar-fi1ev The Jeep Trackhawk, Ferrari GTC4Lusso and Mercedes E63S Wagon are just three examples I can think of off the top of my head.
@@ZCAB Cool story but none of those are mom cars.
Also, "fast" is a measure of speed, not acceleration. A Tesla is not that fast at all by modern standards but it accelerates better than most high performance cars.
@@Oscar-fi1ev Sure, if you ignore all context of what he says and does in that part of the video, and solely focus on the word "fast", you could say he was talking about top speed rather than acceleration. As he was just stepping on the gas, not going even near 200mph on a public highway.
Also, while I'll grant you the GTC4Lusso purely for being a Ferrari, you can't tell me that shoving a big engine in a Grand Cherokee or a E-Class wagon suddenly makes them not a mom car.
@Doug DeMuro Thanks Doug - excellent video!! A few points here: 1. The "Gelaende"-gear is not for Off-roading, it was done to make it street-legal in Germany back then. The Noise is measured IIRC at third gear, 4000rpm. So, it was tested in fourth gear instead of third and the car passed barely. For the pronounciation of "Gelaende" think of "Gelende" as the "e" in "Porsche" which you spoke spot-on. 2. The anti-theft sticker made sense back then, in the 90ies the crappy stock radio of my neighbor's 1987 VW Polo got stolen which had a value of 10DM at best. Whoever did it was addicted to heroine for sure - today addicts get methadone legally, that's why thefts went down significantly. 3. The first aid-kit and everything in it is required by German law, although the packing has become more compact today. But these things are still available over here. Greetings from Germany!!
Excellent clarifications and much appreciated 👍.
0:00 This might be your happiest "this" this year.
true!
The
Pure swagger of the thhhhh almost knocked me out
I've never seen him introduce as happy as he was for the 959 - very understandable...it would of been hard to sleep the night before...
This is definitely one car I never would have thought he would review
I'm very surprised that Doug didn't remind us that he's either 6'3 or 6'4 when he got in the backseat.
Mission Accomplished “I’m 6’4 and I can comfortably eat this sandwich”
Mission Accomplished don’t forget the rare occasion he’s 6’5
more surprising is that he didnt explain the cup holder scenario
It depends on what time of the day he filmed the video. If it’s soon after waking up, then he will be taller.
You're not alone...
"The Hole" is what I will call all intakes for the rest of time.
I can't bear it. I'm at the point of unsubscribing!
I own a Gallardo and I saw a 959, I took pics and people thought I was crazy
You are not that guy right?
Right?
@@Panzer_Runner obviously, cuz that lambo was huracan
The 959 is timeless. The Lambo is not.
A Gallardo is just a baby murcielago lol
@@oa8945 so what you're saying is a Huracán is a baby Aventador?
Seriously, nobody talking about that hilarious ending? xD
Doug, the type of guy to say the 959 is "just an old Porsche" to a bunch of strangers, and then blow out a camera like it is a candle.
The guys on the Lambo were rightfully freaking out, loved that!
I bet it was fucking epic for the dudes in the Lambo!
@@GabrielBonduel ıt also cost at least 5 times of that lambo.
I had to replay that bit like 20 times in a row! It's friggin hilarious, the "no no no!" is stuck in my head, ayy.
@Chris Ayres
Nah. Everybody knows a 959(car guys) even if they don't know why. It was that important, famous in the 80's.
That ending was amazing. Two guys in a new Lamborghini taking pictures of "just an old Porsche". Says it all
"it's just an old porsche.. lol"
"NO NO NO NO NO"
Nice that they knew how special this Porsche is. I wouldn't have known, to be honest...
That was the best part of the video, and I doubt many Lambo dudes would throw that level of respect towards the 959.
You all know that most people that own something like a Lamborghini know what the hell a 959 is, right? It's a super rare supercar that's worth over a million dollars, it's not a secret what it is. They are pulling up going "holy shit that's a freaking 959" and half or more of them are going " I wish I could afford to buy that", because a $250,000 Huracan is a long way off from a million dollars or more. There are few people into cars that don't know about the original gods, the 959, F40 and McLaren F1.
@@venom5809 I wouldn't say that. There are way too many old porches on the road, which makes 959 far less recognizable.
That softer 90's styling made it look quite futuristic in the 80's
34:54
"It's just old porshe, nothing special"
xD
Doug the type of guy who pays $1.5 Million for a Porsche 959 to get an incredibile satisfying clicksound on the door handle
As far as I know, every old Porsche has that sound. Lovely
And it is a trademark sound..."click".... LOVELY is right.
ive seen this car in person. I have a 2019 turbo S and made a review of it on my channel
@@MrReviewer No one cares, stay on your own god damn channel.
Doug is the type of guy to actually get in the back seat of a Porsche 959!!!
Doug the type of guy to hate low tier people like you
And get paid for it :)
with dirty knees
Doug,
Your videos are great. You pack about as much useful info into 15-20minutes as anyone could, and with nice style.
4:44 There are two Dougs in the reflection
superb observation!
I read this exactly when he said the car has 444 hp
You can hear his excitement in the very first line
Guilherme Mendes I was just as excited when I saw it. Doug just raised himself in my estimation.
Still kind of funny to find one of the better reviews of that car on an American channel. Last I remember done in Germany was by Malmedie, but it wasn’t in depth.
First thing I noticed. Had to get my tuning fork out like "wait, that's not correct"
The best part of the whole video is the passenger in the convertible Lambo (I think it's an Aventador) shooting video of the 959 - just perfect! :)
The video was still pretty great but that outtake just made it way better.
It was a huracan
is actually an huracan
That was a true petrolhead, I'm happy he got to ride (or own or drive, who knows) in a Lambo
What's even better is he knew this is a special Porsche, a lot of normies would typically look at it and think: "just another Porsche"
That super technical term "The Hole" Doug would have made an interesting Gynecologist.
Gives it a Doug score....
@@roejogan292 but first I want to see all the quirks and features 👍🏻
The worse day would be to rear end an old minivan, wrinkling the 959's nose just enough to jam the latch of the front hood, and not being able to get to the bandages in the first aid kit. I better stick with my Matchbox version of 959.
That feels when your "old Porsche" is worth 5 times more than the new Lambo pulling up next to you.
BROJAK HORSEPERSON I would rather have a new Lamborghini
exactly this, New Lambos are so Douchy, pretty much built for Flexing in Miami
@@jdog7713 you wouldn't rather have a 959, sell it and buy whatever car you could dream of, plus be able to buy a house? Wise up.
@@jdog7713 If you're a collector you'd do much better with a 959. You could sell the 959 and buy a new Ferrari and a new Lambo, with a ton of pocket change. You'd get much respect in the car world with a 959.
Although that Lambo isn't that new lol. Nevertheless, the value of that Lambo will never reach the 959.
Air pressure gauge, adjustable suspension, 198MPH, vented disk brakes, and on the other side of the wall, they had the Trebant.
Trabant
@@voxer99 Trobant* Idiots...
Yeah. Two totally different worlds separated just by a brick wall. Our sons will never believe us when we'll tell them about the cold war and the iron curtain. And yet a lot of Germans and Russian still have good memories of the DDR and the USSR.
It's a cycle, buddy. Yes, the west was advanced at the time. But look what's happening now: China is pulling ahead with albeit crappy quality, yet massive infrastructure and goods. Russia is resilient to whatever the US and its lapdogs throw at it and is even beating the west at their own neoimperialistic games (Foreign disinformation, proxy wars). So yeah, let's hope there's still progress like that in 50 years time.
@@ChapuleTaylor ''''Trubant'''' ffs
A few years ago, I worked at the Orlando International Airport in FL. I worked on the Emirates airline account as a ramp lead.
We routinely had some serious super cars coming in on that flight in the cargo bay that we had to unload like a few Lamborghini's and McClarens.
But the car I will never ever forget for as long as I live was the White Porsche 959. And it was one of those rare stripped down versions Doug mentioned in this video. It even had a roll cage inside.
As the ramp lead, I was the one who was trusted to go inside and steer the car out. I knew exactly how special the car was soon as I saw it. I knew what a 959 was and I told my agents to be extremely careful not to scratch this car. I still have photos of it on my phone. It was the highlight of my time at that job.
10:25 "The Hole". Really going all in on the technical terms now.
I was waiting for him to put his hand inside the hole.
I´ve read an anecdote in a German car magazine, that during the development of the 959 chief R/D engineer Helmut Bott returned from a test drive and said to his staff: "At 125 mph the car feels a bit squirmy..." The engineers were shocked before he added: "...on gravel..."
fake story
As I said, doesn´t go beyond anecdotal evidence, but a least the story originated from a respectable car magazine before the internet. Could still be made up, of course.
@@klausm5460 then its not even an anecdote to begin with. Just a made up story

Great observation, ehem!, you honor. I love how you illustrated it. I gotta say, though, it's the everyman appeal is what's best about Doug. It's the contrast between how casual and straight forward he presents himself, and the vehicles he's reviewing.
@@southjerseysound7340 Indeed. I see two 458 Italias on the roads around me all the time. One is always being driven by a smoking hot blonde that looks like a model or actress. The other is always being driven by a dude that looks and dresses a lot like Doug in a dirty old baseball hat.
Quite right. Back in the early noughties, I had a little more money than most my age. Not a great deal, but enough. I was on holiday in Spain, , and walked past a little shop, with quite a few people inside and a slightly upmarket look to it. In the window was a nice looking little chess set that I wanted to buy. I saw the price tag, could afford it. (it was about £70 iirc) and I walked in with my 'tourist' clothes to purchase. Woman at the counter immediately came round and pretty much pushed me out of the shop. Walked way a bit annoyed, because I can guarantee I could afford anything they had in there.

And all the stuff that any other person would show in those cars
34:54 The most savage moment.
Hands down my all time favourite car. I remember buying a car magazine in grade 9 talking about all the amazing tech in this car. Still amazing today!
Those are coffee?? I thought they were automotive paint.
Same lol
Don't put it next to lacquer thinner or things might get rowdy 😅
Loooool I thought the same thing
lol me too
They aren’t paints, they just taste that way.
200MPH with less than 500 horsepower is incredibly impressive
This thing lacks all the aerodynamic designs which is what's making supercar slow in the first place.
198 mph, I'm sure they pushed everything to the limit to hit 200 mph but couldn't make it.
200 isn’t that hard, once you go beyond it gets exponentially harder to accelerate
Look up group b rally!!!!
The F-40 could do 198 mph back in the day with 478hp and it had a turbo v-8 with more torque than the 959.
Truly amazing! this car was lightyears ahead of it's time. Adjustable suspension, Blaupunkt audio, that amazing interior literally every corner on this car ouses quality and innovation. Great review Doug. And about that FirstAid kit, that's either for Niki Lauda or because of the fatallity of Group B rally racing.
Another amazing video by Doug, thanks a lot man. The 959 is my childhood dream!

czcams.com/video/yPN6_e2xVBI/video.html
do you boys know why Group B finished?
Excellent vid, 959 seems even more special than I imagined. Would love to see one in person.
doug is the best. like always, nice research and what a detailed review.
Porsche 959: World’s fastest off-road truck.
Porsche 959: A 200 mph hospital on wheels.
Porsche 959: The only way to respond in time to a scene where a plane crashes into a school bus and prevent anybody from dying.
I mean. It is a car built specially for Group B rally. So that many bandages make sense.
They used this engine in Group C cars like 956 and 962C, but I wouldn't try it with a same boost, Le Mans racing engine might have "a bit more" endurance in it. If I remember right they used it in some version of 935 too. That racing engine was so reliable that they say they could race another 24h race in a row.
That first aid kit is mandatory in Germany. If your car has no first aid kit where all the stuff inside has not passed its date of expiry your car won't get "TÜV", which essentially means that you will not be allowed to drive your car on public streets. Also the police can check your first aid kit in a normal police control if they want.
I see what you did there.
If it came with a Porsche branded casket that would also be appropriate.
Such a good video though! I was fascinated by the 959 when I was a kid but there is surprisingly little information about it around... I think your video is now about 90% of the information about the 959 on the whole internet! Thanks for making it!
I was a long time fan of this car. I new it was high tech but missed out on the details. Thanks Doug for this detailed video.
Doug reads owners manuals when he poops
Jeff Boski It’s a good idea though 😂
We all know doug doesn't poop fuck off
You have to start your sentence with a “Doug the type of guy” to say a Doug joke.
im stealing this for the next video
thats me actually, i have a stash of car tech books next to a toilet paper
Dougs the type of guy to have dirty knees when climbing into a 1.5 million dollar car
Just grinding the pebbles and dirt into the back of the front seats
Dude has playground knees
And he was close to use the wing for opening the back, but it seems, he noticed it in time too ;)
@tom50740 lol true. But he needs to be more gentle with the cars
best Doug DeMuro ending yet... awesome vid!
We used to call that a “Granny Gear” which old farm truck had so they could get out in a field and walk along beside it while it moved slow enough to load bales of hay into the back.
Came here to post this. Many trucks have it for starting with large loads or for off-roading. Interesting that the G works in both German and English.
Would this be a good first car?
If this were your first car, it would probably also be your last car.
Bmac 814, absolutely. And this one here was just driven by a little old lady at Le Mans on Sundays. Perfect for a beginner. Shall I start the paperwork?
Out of Blue Pills Will you take an Xbox360 and 7 games and a snowboard for the downpayment?
@@mcearl8073 What brand is the snowboard?
Salty Admiral it’s a top of the line one, the best money can buy from Target.
Doug the type of guy to drive an ultra rare Porsche and not give us a shot of the engine revving outside the car
Hi Doug, love your show...quick note on the "First Aid" kit.That was not just standart but obligatory in EVERY car in Germany. Had the same in a Golf, BMW< Seat Ibiza....So bad that there are so many car brands we don't have here in North America...PS...I'm a German living in Canada....
The 959 is very identical to the Hyundai Santa Fe
And the Pontiac aztek
@@calska140 pontiac aztek is the one of the most ugliest cars ever made
Holy shit a 959! My favourite car! Thanks Doug!
Retro game room Reviews That’s you. This is the greatest pure sports car ever made.
Doug the type of guy to keep an owner's manual on his nightstand instead of the Bible
Ooh... People should. RTFM is a thing people don't do.
wow - its the 21st Century - Who has a bible on there nightstand!
@@Bruce-vq7ni Every hotel in America lol
@Tsunauticus III Anyone that believes in an imaginary friend isn't for me.
I found the atheist
Thanks for the review ... some of the features even a 959 owner might not know. Such an engineering marvel.
Im years late here but you are a lucky man to have the opportunity to drive this! I had one on my wall as a kid and had a 1/24 diecast but ive never seen one let alone drive one. Building a Tamiya 1/24 model now which is why Im here. Great video!
Doug has officially driven the holy Trinity of modern Porsche supercars... Let him find a Speedster and he'll never need to look at another Porsche again
name the fucking trinity. 911T?
Bob O 959, Carrera GT, 918
I feel like the GT2 RS is heading for the status.
Which one?!?
what about the GT1 Road version? I would say this one is after 959 and before Carrera GT.
Doug is the type of guy to straight pipe a Tesla
Lolz
Ib7 h YO THIS ISN’T PORKER’S CHANNEL!!!!
Not only a Tesla, but also the Jaguar i-pace which must be his next project!!
I the type of guy to supercharge a tesla
Quirks and Features makes the electric motor sounds louder
Another very entertaining video Doug...especially the last bit with that guy pulling up beside you...hah! Love your show mate.
Oh I knew what a 959 is ! I remember reading about this in motor trend back in the 80's ! Love it !!
The rear end is just
*_GORGEOUS_*
Are you from car throttle?

@@sword_az_5847 Yeah!!
You spelt "hideous" wrong
2 videos in 2 days? I must be dreaming
Too much coffee.
December specials :D
It will be more, many more according to his twitter)
More advertising money before Xmas
He will upload alot of his goodies now he said on twitter, so we should expect alot of videos with rare cars.
Like every week?
18:28 The perfect spot to hide coke in your Porsche 959
But then you hope the cop isn't a porsche's nerd.,.
Amazing. My dad had a 78 911sc and had a very similar interior(minus all the 959 stuff) but the gauges, the locks, the headliner material. His had back seats as well but it didn't have any seat belts. I got the joy of having to ride back there because I was the youngest. Good times
If Doug just sat there staring at it for 15 mins, I'd still upvote. I was a teenager when this car came out. It was simply mind blowing. The tech it had was barely talked about let alone implemented. It's all pretty common now, but in the 80's it was all unheard of. Possibly the most significant single model ever made.
The Model T is 100x as important as this car.
@@@wronggg
Maybe from a manufacturing standpoint (The model T)?...But not from a technological one. This car was called that at the time, the same way the 918 has been called that when it came out.
And if you wanna go that route (the Model T). Let's mention some of the original Benzes and Daimler's from 1888. SMH
I remember 3D modeling this car in highschool in the computer program 3DSMax ..... I won a school competition for the model
@@Soljarag5 I feel sorry for you. 3DS Max is a terrible app.
Copenharvest, ha, I have since moved onto Solidworks and CATIA
*Doug. The 49 year old 30 year old*
LandMaster the type of anyways.
He's 49?? Wow he actually looks really good for that age.
Mike A that’s the joke. He just turned 30 but looks, dresses and acts far older 😜
@@LandscapeMaster33 Ahh ok I read it wrong lol. I read it as a 49 year old acting 30. I feel better now.
@@LandscapeMaster33 Holy fucking shit, he's 30?? Damn, I'm approaching 36 and I swear I look like a little punk-ass teen compared to him. Thanks for making me feel good, Doug!
The silver surround on the engine bay is just...so beautiful.
Beautiful car.
I live near Bruce Canepa and I’ve seen several of his 959’s around (even in the rain). Each time I do I can’t believe my eyes. Such a wonderful classic.
Honestly, if I ever reach a point in my life when I can afford it, my personal car collection will be complete with two cars: Porsche 959 and Ferrari F40. Two brilliant cars from same era, so close in performance, but so different they have nearly nothing in common.
Agreed
The twin turbos are about the only commonality that springs to mind, the are VERY different.
Test Drive 2: The Duel
yes close but having the ferrari behind for a huge diference the porshe was built to be much faster and complete than the F40 ,and so it did .It should be the first thing to say about this car not anything else ,like group B?wtf!, regards
I'd have to go F50 over F40.
Do the Mercedes CLK-GTR. I‘m waiting for somone to review it since the late 90s.
Jeremy Clarkson already did the review
Tiff Needel have testdriven it, but it caught fire if I remember it correctly. Something about the cooling on the car was made for the racetrack, and drive it slow around in town overheated the engine. (I might remember it wrong) but I love that car, and I want one :)
I'm pretty sure none of those are road-worthy
@@ryans5615for GT1 cars, they had to make road going versions of the race cars. So Mercedes CLK-GTR and Porsche GT1 for example.
Ryan S There are about 25 road-worthy versions produced of the CLK GTR. Each worth around $2.5 Million.
Honestly, still one of the most beautiful cars to this day. I can only imagine the joy of owning one of these.
You lucky son of a gun. I have never seen this car in the 30 years that I've wanted to. Thanks for the video, it was cool to see more of the details of it. My obsession started with an hot wheels 959 when I was 5 and I've always loved this car. Hopefully I can see one before I kick the bucket.
McLaren F1 is next, Doug.
Nah, Koenigsegg Agera Next
@@jeremyjhonson-0277 the agera will probably be next week or the week after. Next is probably the V10 M5 or the new G wagen.
watch tiff needells mclaren f1 video, car is fucking amazing.

It's the last of the OG heavyweights that he hasn't done. It better happen, and it better be like an hour long.
Doug the type of guy who mixes coffee with gasoline to stay motivated.
there is something called monster lmao
Chevrolatte
When I was a child my mom bought me some good quality toys rc of this model. I fall in love with the iconic shape. Back then toys were better made.
Romania after revolution. Thanks for your review
You know damn well Doug measured the distance between those coffee cans with probably a micrometer.
