Our search for the world's greatest driving road heads to the Spanish island of Majorca. Can a top-down day in the superb Porsche Boxster GTS lapping up the Mediterranean sun possibly top our time exploring Romania in a Jaguar F-type? - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I've lost count of how many times I've watched this
Ditto 😬
FISHURMOMBALL same here, I keep coming back for the boxster, I love that car.
Totally agree - just watched this again; it's one of my fave vids on CZcams
I think I’m here for my 6th time lol
I have an older 986 Boxster and I have done this road, but unfortunately not in the Porsche, but in a hire car! One day perhaps I’ll get there in the Boxster at dawn, but until I do, I’ll just have to keep watching this video!
For me, still one of the best Porsches going.
9 years old…..wow, still one of my favorite videos…still one of my favorite cars; and still a video that keeps me thinking that Harry is one of the very best
Is this the greatest driving video on CZcams?
Here I am, some 5 years later, standing through the test of time marvelling at this masterful piece of cinematography. What an epic drive, more please!
This video did 981 generation justice, not that it was too hard to do as it is just that good. Until 718 gt4 happened, 981 has been THE best in my eyes.
M156 Charles I couldn’t agree more! 👍
Still marvelling, and still driving my Boxster. I'm getting the 911 and would love to drive on thi roads
This is honestly one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. The shots, the sounds, the scenery and the car. All perfect together.
+HandsomeAlex25 i agree i can watch it over and over again
+HandsomeAlex25 Completely agree. Just awesome.
That is exactly what I wanted to say. I have watched this over and over, and it only gets better the more I watch it. That car, in that specification, with that sound, honestly I can't think of a better specced Boxter than that. Watching it drive round these beautiful sceneries is, in my mind, the perfect combination. Add to that the dramatic but astounding music, and you've got indeed one of the best driving adventure clips ever put to film. Keep up the good work Evo, and Henry, thanks for this amazing piece of artistic footage.
Ditto
This little film deserves an award.
Hey look! A 12 minute video I can watch without paying monthly!
Never change EVO, never change
I just come back from Mayorca. If you don't have enough money to rent a Porsche, I highly recommend a Mazda MX-5 (from 65€ per day). For me, driving this little toy on twisty roads of Mayorca was one of the best moments in my life. Best vacation destination for a petrolhead :)
being 19 years old, i cant even rent a mx5 here. going to drive these roads in a fiat 500. hopefully i'll get the twinair turbo 875cc 2 cyl for the sound alone 😅
I hired a Panda, great especially if you need to dodge tourists driving wide on the wrong times of the day
A ile moze kosztowac wypozyczenie takiego boxstera?
Actually in Mallorca with a mx5, driving these great roads. It is perfect !
Fully agree!👌🏼
The crackle and pop from that exhaust. ASMR right there.
Evo has outdone itself here. Love these little features and Henry is just a genuine car guy not trying to put on a fake persona.
Yes, you can really feel his emotion coming through the screen.
Still returning to this years later. Man...❤
he gets payed to do this ... jesus life isn't fair :)
My thoughts exactly.
Hey Harry, I know you're busy and all but you have to go to Mallorca and drive a Porsche around. Here's some money for your troubles.
Just be happy they're not charging for us for it.
R.I.P comma.
*****
Indeed mate!
almost 4 years old and i seem to always come back to it.
It feels people who drive a Porsche Boxster seem to enjoy their cars more..... This video certainly makes me feel that a Boxster is all the sports car one ever needs....
Trust me drive one, does not matter which year or model. You will end up buying one for sure. They are just the best fun
+Augusto Ortiz I was actually the biggest Porsche-fan ever. I test-drove a Boxster. I don't know If it was Boxster S or just Boxster. It was okay. Afterwards I drove a Audi TT 2015 and I can honestly say it was way more fun :D
+Keyvan - not a chance in hell, i have driven SLK's and TT's, they both feel numb next to a boxster, perhaps more comfortable but not even in the same class when it comes to cornering and sports car feel
The brand new TT is something else. But yea the Porsche gave me more looks 😀 and I'm pretty sure it would beat Slk and TT on a track. But I tested them on a normal road, highway, city etc
We've got a 987, and it's very true.
THIS is the dream, and Henry gets paid to live it! You Sir forever have my deepest respect!
2016 GTS erhalten....jetzt 2023 immer noch im Besitz................das Video habe ich sicher 50 mal angeschaut, dank dem Viedo bestellt.....alles Richtig gemacht.😊
Welche Farbe? Als Schalter?

I did exactly the same 😊
In Racinggelb ? @@stephaneallroad8789
This may be the most beautiful driving clip ever created; the shots of the landscape and the sea and the road (and the soundtrack!!) brought a lump to my throat. Absolutely stunning. Cinematic art of a very high order. Big thanks.
Mallorca is Home you just dont know it yet but soon you will =)
I still get goosebumbs even after watching this for more than 50 times. Reminds me of the wonderful time I owned a Porsche myself.....good work EVO!
I watched this video when it first came out and I fell instantly in love with the 981...now I finally have one. Even on video...the howl of the flat six still gives me the tingles..
This guy looks like a cross between Wolverine and Harry Potter.
Nailed it!
He is!
Deadly combination
goddamn. You dont need any more than this. No need for more HP, this chassis and that engine complement each other perfectly. what a fucking car, never thought i'd say that about a boxster
It has become great!
michael G ha ha .....i agree ....boxster was filed under hairdressers car but the bloody thing is a different animal now ......everone raves about it
Johhny England
It was never a hair dressers car. That was the liberal media who named it this because they hate cars and attack them at every opportunity.
Such as calling SUV's soccer mom cars.
It's a great fukin car, that's all that counts. Little short on power, that is what mods are for! Had mine for 10 years, I just want to drive it forever.
Charles Lu I bet it has enough power for throwing it around the corners with ease. No need for mods
I keep coming back to this video even 4 years later! I just bought one of these cars as well so now it's even better to me!
2021 still going strong
What a great tribute to this car
Man of a few words. Love it. No need to constantly talk. Just let the scenery and exhaust captivate you.
The quality of the video, the sound, the comment. Love this!
As the others below, I have watched this video numerous times. I have also owned a Boxster GTS similar to the one in this video. Both are really great. I keep thinking that these EVO videos were really a highpoint of this genre. Thankfully, Catchpole is still working his magic.
One of the very few videos which leave you speechless, simply breathtaking beautiful.
The best car video ever? Probably. Why do I love cars and driving? This.
How did I miss this one? This is the finest piece of automotive journalism on youtube - Chris Harris included.
I wouldn´t have believed that the Boxster with sports exhaust sounds so glorious, very close to Ferrari´s V8s actually. Absolute amazing video, shots, mood, music...a much more complete approach to the topic than the TopGear story of some years ago. Driving heaven!
Two days ago we woke up at 5am in Palma and drove over there in a 911 Carrera Cabriolet (and yes cab is the way to go to hear all the sounds of nature and your sporty car engine sound reverberating against the cliffs). Goats and sheep were the only obstacles. Zero cars or bikes that early. Watched the sunrise at Cap de Formentor with a small crowd then quickly headed down to MA-10 over to Sa Calobra. By the way that early morning MA-10 cutover to Sa Calobra is spectacular in itself if you like speed and long stretches of acceleration. The MA-2141 (road to SC) was also quite empty when we arrived about 7:30am (maybe 1-2 cars in the way but they yielded quickly). Drove down to the bottom and walked over to Torrent de Pareis for a beach rest with my new friend for an hour or so. Empty beach, hearing only waves hitting the sand nothing else. When we decided to go I handed her the keys to drive back up Sa Calobra then all the way back down MA-10 to Andratx (she was overwhelmed). Needless to say, we found our mutual passion for driving together that day.
These video shots should be on every car video ever made. Very well done.
The ending suggests to you that the otherworldly imagery of the surroundings is matched only by the haunting sound of this automobile.
A sound so animalistic, it almost feels like it is leaving us at the end to return to its home in the wilds of Mallorca.
Brilliant.
this may just be my favourite driving video ever.
I come back to rewatch this clip over again. What a beautiful it is.
This needs more views!
This has to be one of my absolute favourite car videos.
Still a masterpiece of CZcams-car-vids!!!
This is what car lovers video content should be measured against. Please EVO more of these type of videos.
still one of my favorite automotive videos
Who ARE the 29 people who 'disliked' this? Are you human? If its not your thing, then its a bit harsh to dislike this quality piece from Evo
Jealous guys 😅
This video is professional quality and I keep on playing it. Thanks Henry
Almost got choked up watching the beauty of this place
If you like Porsche’s the this is probably one of the best videos on CZcams - wow, just wow....👍👍👍👍👍
My eyes welled up, the hairs on my arm stood up in applause at the end.
BRAVO!
Lowest viewed, best car video on CZcams.
I drove 718 boxster on this road. This was the gratest driving experience I ever had. Maybe this is not that fast car but has enough power for this road. Just amazing🔥
Beautiful video. I have been to Mallorca several times but never drove on a road like that. I have a 2022 Porsche Boxster GTS on order for delivery in November. It is Carmine Red with Chalk white leather seats. I love watching this video of what will soon be a similar car that I will own. I ordered the PDK and almost every other option, Thanks.
Amazing. Just amazing! One of the most beautifully shot (and greatest sounding!) videos on here. Well done Henry and the Evo team. Majorca looks just gorgeous. Who needs Trip Advisor!
“You can go no further”, is what I exactly was thinking after the drive and view; nothing else to ask for
I am actually booking a holiday to Majorca because of this video!
I did too.
And I had to go back a second time!
Watched it probably ten times ❤️
20 😂
@@stephaneallroad8789 I need to watch it more then - because it’s legendary 😃
The Boxster has never been so sexy than in this GTS version !
Just stunning every time I watch this.
Have been to sa calobra… absolutely stunning and i have to agree, it is not a road anymore, its art
Is this a Dean Smith production? If so hats off my man - that was the best EVO video yet in my eyes. Loved the introduction and the videography - liked the classical music too. As said below in more colloquial terms Catchpole you are a jammy, jammy git -good work guys well done...
I wanna add an extra 👍 every time I watch this. 😁
I’ve not watched this before, God knows how I could have missed it, being a Porsche fan. Wow! Fantastic scenery & fantastic car. Beautifully produced video. Absolutely brilliant.
This is great piece of art. The car the roads the whole video is pure class, great job.
I'm waiting for my 1st Porsche, a Boxster S, to arrive...Wish I could drive this road ! Lovely - just lovely.
Amazing video, Porsche GTS and Mallorca scenery!!
A truly special piece of film, well done Evo!
Love it Henry! Thanks EVO for continuing to provide quality content like this at no cost to us car nuts.
Just stunning! No matter how many times I watch this, it gets me every time and I can't believe it's 9 years old. Beautifully shot, incredible sound and the perfect car for the job. Henry just has a way of bringing life to any video, then and now. A masterpiece by the master! Thank you!
Great video. Just a word of praise the the camera operators, who are the unsung hero's of good films.While the drivers are enjoying themselves, these Guy's have to wait around for long periods to perfect their art.
Beautiful couldn't have picked a better car for this
Best EVO video I have ever seen. And have been lucky enough to drive on those roads myself... Unfortunately not with a Porsche :(
Engine and exhaust noise can make any driver feel like a race car driver! What a beautiful car!
I have watched this 100s times and I love it. I have a similar car and will go there one day!
majestic views and epic roads!
Wow wow wow wow wow. Top film making Mr. Catchpole, Mr. Riley and Evo. Probably the best video I have seen on CZcams. What a car and what amazing roads!
Perfect combination between car and road.
I have watched this repetitively for more than 20 times lol, Henry, please bring back more "Great Drives" Series :).
Just wow! Thank you for sharing this with us. I think EVO is maybe the best automotive channel here on CZcams. Keep on going on! :)
Wow, just wow! I had goosebumps watching this and even felt a tear welling up as I was thoroughly envoloped in the beauty of this clip.
What an outstanding job EVO continues to do with these films. Henry your reviews are the cream of the crop. Just incredible! Thank you. 😄
Wow! One of EVO's best videos to date... Wonderful job Harry, simply awesome!!!
To be really honest, this vid alone is better than any other vid /Drive has ever done, and it's free
Watched this 8y ago, bought the car drove there… I am now here again watching this and def want to go back and buy another boxster !!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful. Thank you Catchpole for keeping our passion more alive than ever.
Epic, epic video. Keep doing what you are doing and this channel will continue to grow. Thanks guys
Love the great work . Great video as always !
Wonderful video. Amazing car too. Save the manuals! I laughed out loud when he said, "Whatever he's doing."
Utterly stunning
Absolutely Amazing!! Thanks EVO for these 12 dreaming minutes!
I've just seen the movie for the 5th time, still perfect! Great shots, great roads, great car, beautiful island & weather!
ArnageLM I'm amazed its Majorca.....I mean i know deja and i knew it was pretty away from Palma .....but what a beautiful island....and what a road....and the perfect car for it ......
Johhny England hello i wonder why people call it Majorca with a j...Is it like an english translation for Mallorca?
I still come back to this.. Wonderful pairing of car and location, on top of excellent editing and soundtrack
Bravo Catchpole. A truly excellent viddie.
Wonderful video. Amazing job evo!
Absolutely epic--this video combines travel, nature, cars, engineering, etc. and I couldn't have loved it more--great stuff!
Using as a measure this road, this scenery and this cinematography, I have to say that Henry is an amazing storyteller.
That's a magnificent soundtrack paired to stunning images n a brilliant drive!
Gorgeous! The car, the road, the exhaust sound....makes me want to cry!
Great road, photography, and sports car!
By far the best EVO video of 2014 in my opinion. Henry Catchpole, a manual Porsche Boxster GTS and the most beautiful footage and sound captures. It's perfection :-)
One of the best videos this year great !!!
I do not get easily overexcited, do not post comments everywhere stating how awesome something was, but this really is mind blowing footage. Congrats and many thanks for shooting and posting that. Every element, starting from the choice of the car, the way it was filmed, the soundtrack and finally epic location, they all combine into this masterpiece... Watched it 3 times straight and can not think of anything else than driving one of the new GTS through Mallorca...
Beautiful job. Absolute poetry. Thanks for the lift. 👏👏🙏❤️
Love this video. What a car, the GTS just looks so right.
Stunning. Great film making. Love this guy....
This is an amazing video and that car sounds fantastic!
