Default Prototype 993 tire test video

I have never seen this one before so I thought I would share it, pretty cool even though it is in German you get the idea.

Very cool Riv Blue 993 prototype, with curve hiding cladding taped on, getting flogged at Nurburgring Nordschleife by test driver Dieter Röscheisen then Walter takes the finished product for a lap.




Special thanks to new member Skye911 for the link!













Another 993 video I had not seen, switches to in car half way through, earplugs required:

I have no clue what they're saying but I don't care. The prototype vid is awesome. Taking one of my 993s to Europe and visiting the 'ring, among other places, is on my bucket list.

Thanks for posting!

Seeing a 993 dancing though curves is always a thrill. Thanks for posting!

Indeed! Two things I like.
  1. Turquoise color.
  2. Chuck Taylors on the Continental rep.

What is up with the color matched center reflector cover? Tape? Why?

As the Riviera Blue car is a prototype, much (most?) of the 993 specific bodywork was not on this car, reflector included.
