California Love: Watch Porsches Drive SoCal’s Twistiest Roads

Daily Driven Exotics takes custom Porsches and a feisty Lambo on some of Southern California’s most wild and beautiful roads. 

If there is one thing the Porsche was made to do, it is to take on a challenge. And Southern California is the perfect proving ground. With amazing open roads offering plenty of twists and turns, this is the perfect place to really open up a Porsche and feel that pure power, velocity, and exceptional performance. These two videos by Daily Driven Exotics feature Porsches (and one stunning Lamborghini) raging through some of SoCal’s most picturesque and twisty, winding roads.

In this video, Daily Driven Exotics host Damon Fryer is hanging with Anthony Carbone, aka “Mad Whips”. The boys are going to take Carbone’s custom Porsche 911 for a ride on California’s Angeles Crest Mountain Pass. Carbone’s Porsche is pretty special, and very cool. It has a custom weathered Porsche motorsport livery that gives it great character. The manual 911 has a custom details such as a carbon fiber wing, wrap, tuning, and tires. The guys waste no time and hit the road.

On the road, the Porsche is doing its thing, cornering with precision, climbing up the hills like a champ, and taking each twist perfectly. Listening to the Porsche on the open road sounds like heaven. The guys stop along the way, and Fryer says “Hoo-ooly…what a ride this is! What a beast!” Carbone replies, “That’s easily one of the hottest roads I’ve ever been on in my life! Most fun, most wind-y.” They continue on, enjoying a beautiful day, and taking a few fun pit stops along the way, including blasting through some tunnels. It’s a crazy ride, the video is a a lot of fun, the scenery is breathtaking, and the Porsche is a star.

In the second video, Fryer joins a group of drivers to drive through Malibu Canyon in California. Fryer is in some pretty amazing company. His fellow drivers are behind the wheels of a fleet of crazy cool cars; various Porsches, a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a GTS, and Fryer’s own ride, a supercharged Lamborghini. Gentlemen, start your engines!

Along the way, the Porsches take the road with power and speed that is honestly pretty awe-inspiring. They stop along the way to pop the hood and talk about their rides. They also meet up with some very cool auto and motorcycle enthusiasts along the way for some fun on the road, including wheelies and burnouts. Fryer is the perfect host, taking you inside the Lambo, and engaging in some fascinating Porsche chat with his fellow road warriors. The footage is great, and Malibu is truly a piece of paradise.

Definitely check these videos out, and you will be inspired to spend some quality time on the road.
