The Porsche 911’s alter ego

This new video from Porsche looks at the alter ego of the 911 – rallying and off-roading – with the help of Jeff Zwart.

A serial Porschephile, Jeff has masterminded many advertising campaigns for the company over the last couple of decades. And if that’s not enough, he’s also a seven-times Pike Peak Champion who set the record for the fastest street-legal car on the event in 2011 driving a 911 GT2 RS.

Here we see footage of him attacking Pikes Peak and then drive the Porsche Museum’s 1984 Paris-Dakar-winning Type 953; the All-Wheel-Drive 911 forerunner to the iconic 959 which reclaimed the title two years later.
