That can never be an Enzo... Great video!


I hate the term Enzo by the way...

The moral of this En*o, drink a cup of coffee and your car goes faster...duh!

Seriously though, watching the 928 make up 35 seconds and the F1 car make up far more, is pretty cool!

this is the video I think off when folks struggle to understand F1......we all know how fast a 928 is then fire up the Formula 1 car

Even with bad audio, the 928 still sounded awesome!

Awesome video! There is another one that was done during this same time of filming that is two 928S's going around the track together demonstrating overtaking etc. Very cool!

funny how the F1 car is just kind of hanging about behind the 928 for a few seconds at 3:08 until he puts the hammer down... not exactly candid. But of course its tv so they had to time it so all 3 passed simultaneously.

Great video, thanks for sharing. The 928 does sound & look really great.

I'm surprised though that it was able to make it without throwing the 2/6 bearings, it was driving really fast & hard, & it was on a track, even went thru some right handed sweepers! Maybe it was using Amsoil perhaps?
jk don't wanna peeve off the 928 Gurus herebut its really starting to heat up in that other thread!

They did one about 10-15 years later. Not near as exciting without a 928....

Not sure what the point of the demonstration was but the whole thing was great.

Period street tires, the great g-forces equalizer.

Anyone else notice the other 928 parked over in the pit lane when Niki dropped his coffee cup in the trash?
