One Of Every Porsche Road Car In One Place! | Secret Stash
Porsche proudly tries to keep one example of every car its ever built, be it for the road or race track. But while a smattering of these vehicles are on display in the Porsche Museum, the rest of them reside at a very special warehouse nearby.
We reckon, like us, you want to see inside this warehouse of wonders, right?
In the first of a three-part series, Top Gear Magazine’s Tom Ford has been over to Germany to spend two days wandering among this priceless collection of Porsches.
To kick things off, episode one focuses on the road cars…

Which Porsche road car would you choose from this collection?
It has to be the 911 GT1.. or even the Carrera GT.. decisions decisions lol
If I had to choose between a Carerra GT or one of those Lamborghini one of one, or a Ferrari or Koenigsegg or Bugatti, I'd still take the Carrera GT.

Well, one that actually works so I could drive it. All those rubber bits and gaskets that have surely perished by now. Many would need complete rebuilds. So keep it simpler, a 911 perhaps, where parts are actually available.
Porsche 911 993 Carrera 4S❤❤❤
My friend’s Dad had a 944 turbo back in the early 90’s. He would actually let us take it for a drive occasionally. Loved it. Great memories.
I visited the Porsche museum in Zuffenhausen last month... these cars... they are something special, each one of them... and being able to see them side by side, it is a great way to spend a day for a car enthusiast :)
I also was lucky to visit the museum 2 years ago with my dad. Together on a roadtrip with his '85 911 3.2 Targa, I will cherish that memory forever gazing together at all the unique models on display in that great piece of architectural masterpiece of a building! Must go for every Porsche fan ❤
did they forget the 944 ...
yes, it's a shame they weren't shown.
So that's what Belinda Carlisle was singing about
A circle in the sand?
@@samuelgarrod8327 heaven is a place on earth. .I forgot about that old classic, "circle in the sand ". I liked that when I was a kid.....long time ago now 😭
That was bloomin brilliant Tom! Thanks!
What a beautiful car collection. Thank you Porsche.
Keep this type of content up TopGear
Or just read the article they did in 2015 for the magazine.
The first NFS I played was the Porsche 2000/Unleashed... Oh the nostalgia, Tom showed all the cars that made me fall in love with Porsche ❤
Need another Porsche game
Thanks for blowing my mind. What a collection. I 👍 within the first couple seconds.
All the great transaxle cars in the thumbnail and they barely get a passing mention. Meanwhile the SUV's get more screen time. Really?
What a great video Top Gear, as a modern Porsche lover, I love the feel of how important Porsche has been in the history of the car world 🧐❤️
"They're getting expensive, even second hand..." Are there NEW 928's you can still buy somewhere?
Yeah and the comment about transaxles giving more room inside just shows his ignorance…
@@griffins750Tom probably knows more about cars than you have had hot dinners
Yeah what an idiotic choice of words
I’m glad someone else heard that too! I had a 928S4, it was a lot of fun but just got too costly to maintain.
You were quicker at commenting on this :-))))
Let me live in there, Porsche. All I need is a cot.
No 924 or 944?
As usual, right? I feel he half understood the assignment.
I was also surprised that the 924 and 944 weren't shown.
4:43 Who remembers Clarkson buying a 928 in the £1500 Porsche challenge?
At least here in the us you can still get a clapped 928 for $1,500
@@TwoDollarGarargenot a 5 speed that runs
@@928pcar There's an early running 5 speed. That's kind of cosmetically rough for about 6 grand by me.
@928pcar as I've learned from buying a clapped 944 just buy a nice one the cost of repair scared me off of a 928
@@TwoDollarGararge 928 ownership is for the hardened, chosen few. And you’re right…buying a nice one is recommended if you like money. Even the clapped 5sp runners are nearing 10k now
Awesome "whistlestop tour" of the Porsche archives 😎!
Boxster and 944 crying in the corner.
i though he will brief us about the 944 insted of the ugly 928
yes, it's a shame they weren't shown.
Tom's content is js always ace! Top presenter.
Just a phenomenal place to visit. I would probably spend an hour just ogling the 959. It was on my wall as a teenager and I still find it mesmerizing.
Love the editing
Not a single mention of the Boxster, Cayman, or Panamera?
loved the 914 with the porsche museum sticker on the squiff
Yes. The 914 was a cool model.
Drink every time the guy says "THIS"
Simply amazing place for best brand ever 🥰
Doug Demuro did a video on his Carrera GT and said no one drives them correct and that is why everyone stalls. He says you have to fully let the clutch out in first with no throttle, then press the throttle. It’s not a normal clutch system supposedly.
Has an anti-stall system. Hardly a secret that Demuro revealed. It's what everybody goes on about all the time. It's just everyone for some reason presents it as some super secret something they've discovered. hard to imagine anyone with access to a CGT at this point isn't well aware.
As I stated on a previous comment, I owned a Carrera GT back in 2004/5 and I never had any issue driving it, let alone stalling it... I found it easy to drive even under normal circumstances ie in traffic... Those who did stall it obviously had no idea how to drive properly...
neighbor was fine driving his, amongst others i know, not hard at all. douche demuro, lol.
No love for boxster and cayman😂
Yeah, what the hell?
“…sidewalls…”😁😄😃👍👍thanks for the tour!
I wonder what the odometer readings are on these cars. Did they arrive directly from the factory or were some older cars.
Yes Top Gear, we want more...please keep this up ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
please keep the electric ones somewhere fireproof and away from the rest of the collection!
Do you have any data on the number of electric Porsches that have spontaneously combusted? Top Gear could find you several videos in their archives of ICE cars catching fire. Remember the Alpine?
I want to like it, but for Top Gear, poorly done. No 924/944/968. The 914, cayenne and Carerra GT history was not correct. Carrera GT was a Formula 1 project and Porsche backed out to get the $ to make the cayenne. No 917, no 550 spider etc…
Agreed. Video was good because of the Porsches. Script and presentation was disappointing. How many times was something described as “very pretty” and commentary made no sense. “I’m sure it was very fun. Even back then” yeah ofc a Porsche was fun back then. The cars are the culmination of art and science and the history of such rare pieces are not given the respect of presentation deserved tbh
All I want is one of them, promise to give it a good home. Great video Mr. Ford.
How can you possibly leave out the Boxster which saved the company before the Cayenne came along to multiply the profits. Terrible slight.
Thank you for the journey into the wonderfull Porsche world :)
the boxster is arguably THE most important car of the modern era and saved the company.. they must have one of the early cars there! should at least have shown it. I hate the snobbery shown towards that car by so-called experts.
Cayenne and then Boxster
I'll be visiting that place in september!!!
This is exceptional programming you guys. Fab video!
So cool. I visited the museum last september and saw many of these. I'm guessing this warehouse is just opposite of the museum, so they dont have to transport them a lot + they have the Museum tag on the license plate.
Beautifully made video and information about Porsche.
Porsche 930 Turbo Flachbau is a beast of a car, seen a gentleman rev that thing and the front wheels lifted off the ground, and that's the day I became a porsche fan🍰 8:13
Porsche is one of the best car brands out, love their story and hope to own one one day :) Otherwise another great video from Tom and TopGear.
Jasus lad, you've got some waffle..😂😂😂 356, 'nice little gearbox' looking at the gear lever.. 'floor mounted pedals' in the 911..😂😂 where else would they be, up on the dash? Your delight seems to have got the better of you😊❤😂😂 lovely cars though..❤
Mounted to a pedal box on the firewall like most cars?
… forgot the Boxster😱… why?
and 944
And Cayman as well
and 968 and....
Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed flashback to me ❤
Porsche is in my opinion the only German car brand that seems to be consistent in the design language. They seem to do it in sequential steps to ever improve their looks, unlike BMW.
Porsche panamera: Am i a joke to you?
how did you miss the Boxster, not the best car ever, but the one that saved the company from financial ruin, and then the Cayenne.
Great video!
Admittedly I still can’t tell the difference between all the 911 models. Still a wonderful vid
Secret stash lol, Porsche museum been there and open for years and other KZhead channels covered it before, where's this dude been?
Ever heard of ‘Clickbate’
Wow there was a Cayenne Transiberia and we didn't get to see it properly.
I used to Love the 928 and the 944 more than the 911 body style. I couldn't see the attraction to the 911, but my opinion has changed recently when it comes to the newer versions of the 911 Porsche!
i was in love with the 930, especially in gold :)
An amazing collection of cars. No other manufacturer can beat Porsche's collection. I'd take a 959, or maybe a 918..
really good a report
Great overview! Did I miss The 964 , 993 , and first Water-Cooled 996 ???
Wowza
I saw a shmee video on this place and I’ve been in love since lol
I can't wait to see what has changed since TopGear last did an article on the Porsche museum in October 2015 or when Chris Harris visited 3 years ago.
This was very nice
Where can i find the full complete list of every porsche model ever ? (every single version and variant and special editions of every single car)
Porsche always deliver beautiful and classic cars. Unlike other German competitors.
great video!
6:34 Woo-ooo indeed
Slight miss - the 959 was for the stillborn Group B Racing Series, not WRC. As was Ferrari 288 GTO for example. Hence completely different beasts to the glassfibre/kevlar monsters 205T16, Delta S4, RS200 etc.
912's: less weight over the rear axle. Great cars.
Glad I read the comments first I wanted to see a 944 as my dad had a couple of them back in the day. I won’t bother watching now😩
Amazing ❤
No love for the last air cooled gen(993) or or the first water cooled gen (996) nor the 997 gt3rs 4.0 is crazy
Were the examples with the bonnets unlatched prone to self discharging the batteries?
somewhat a fun watch, perhaps talk about the designers, sculptors, and engineers. which i could do for you, as you're just blathering on a museum tour.
Tom, you look odd without that mop on your head! Lol
Any tanks in there?....
Zuffennhausen❤
GT1 was to supercars what Group B was to rallycars. They were pretty much road legal Group C cars. The first true hypercars. Big names were Ferrari F 40, Jaguar XJ 220, McLaren F1, and in this case Porsche 911 GT1.
Talks about Porsche 928 ''Getting expensive even second hand'' ??? WHAT DID BECAME OF TOP GEAR !!!
Where is tiger?! I was waiting whole video for that!
Yes I want to go there, where ever it is...
If I can afford it, I would bring all these cars to me right now
Is this at the Stuttgart factory?
nothing on the 924 / 944 / 968? 🙁
Only so much time I guess. Would have loved to watched way more of this tour.
I’m sure there should have been a Boxster or two in there.
Time has been good with porsche it doesn't matter what they produce
959S... Hands down
Great ahow. ❤
Only 10 minutes in I realised who is the guy I'm looking at, was/is :-)))))) 5th gear vibes.
Lmao 5th gear vibes 😭😂😂😂 I hate how accurate that is
Anybody know why the front trunks appear to be half open on most of these?
They're probably being charged so the battery doesn't go flat
Anyone who drove turbocharged cars in the late 70s or early 80s know that lag measured in multiple seconds is a bit of a myth - it was a question of driving differently. Nice video though, the museum is excellent.
Richard, Jeremy and James had the best chemistry in this show than the other three will ever have.
Its the Porsche Museum this?
No, you will see some of those cars but not their whole garage. I believe the museum rotates their collection. But what was in the video is not the Museum.
holy luft...
no no no no, wait, what is that black beetle looking thing at 12:50, is that a beetle, or a porsche, or a factory porsche mule.... I don't even care, that's so pretty
It's a Beetle
Looks like someone's trying to create a Porsche Noah's Ark! Next, we'll see them try fitting two of each into a garage!
Porsche always deliver beautiful and classic cars
Thats garage of main character from need for speed porsche unleashed.
Dammit ONE PLACE 😀
Porsche elegance
anybody know why there are no 964's in the porsche museum? i was there last month and left wondering why there weren't any...
962 and 964 are the prettiest cars Porsche ever made
Where is this Porsche Museum, and is it open to public?
Stuttgart Germany, and yes! We visited there last summer, it was a blast.
don't know, the internet just be all broke up but you somehow here.
Great way to artificially increase value. Manufacturers keeping there own stock. Between this and jerry, there’s none left
