A spirited drive in the iconic Porsche 911 Turbo

A cinematic show reel driving the Iconic Porsche 911, taking in some fantastic roads and stunning views in The Trough of Bowland. This is a video I`ve been wanting to make for a long time which combines my passion for sports cars and creating video content. From the moment you first experience the blistering acceleration to the sure-footed handling. To the iconic shape and glorious howl from the flat 6 engine, it is a car that needs to driven to fully take in the brilliance of this legendary sports car.

Porsche first unveiled the 911 to the public back in September 1963 and to date over the last 60 years between 1963 and 2023, over 1.2m 911 sportscars have been made. Each one is evidence of the endless pursuit of innovation by Porsche, particularly when it comes to delivering a memorable drive for all who experience it.

Many great Porsche designers have been involved in updating and evolving the 911 over the decades. They include such legendary figures as Anatole Lapine, who designed the G series, the successor to the original 911, and Harm Lagaay. This Dutchman was chief designer at Porsche from 1989 to 2004 and was the man who, among many other highlights, introduced the much talked about ‘fried egg’ headlights on the 911 (type 996). And, since 2004, it's been Michael Mauer who has overseen design of the 911 in his role as Head of Style Porsche.

The Porsche 911 remains the epitome of timeless automotive design. The first Porsche 911 set down the basic layout that is still evident in the model today. Its lateral lines, fastback design, the shape of its side windows, free-standing front wings and flat front bonnet remain core features of its design.
