The lighting, these images, the sound! A work of art.

I would like to express my dissatisfaction concerning this video, because it is videos like this that made me pull the trigger and buy myself a project car. I hope you are happy with yourself for exposing this kind of madness upon others.

Excellent video. Love the cinematography and sound design on this. Keep up the good work.

The feeling you create with videos like this, is just so soothing and relaxing. Love it

Art at its finest. I am always beyond impressed with your abilities, but this is on another level! Better than high budget productions by other companies here on YouTube. You should all be impressed with your work. Thanks for sharing!

So many times I wished for this kind of access to my 944’s engine. It was fun to see this. I bought a series 1 brand new in 1983 for the now-absurd low price of $22, 600 all in, taxes, fees. That car was a treasure. In 2000, I purchased a 1993 968. There is so little similarity in performance but working on the engine was familiar. Many, many updates make my 968 an easier car to maintain despite the added complexity. I put it to ‘bed’ about 2014 to save money for a family. It still awaits its second life now my daughter has gone to college. She loved growing up with that car, which she named ‘Cheetah’. I wonder why.

Born petrolhead, in Modena, long time ago and saw a lot about cars. This is a masterpiece, thank you.

I experienced the pleasure of watching my 911 Porsche engine get rebuilt by a very competent shop where the owner allowed me to take photos of the process. It was amazing. I'm going to save this video for later on today and enjoy what you did here. Just the music itself is amazing and ominous and fantastic. The lubrication that you put on those bearings was just artful. That's why I'm gonna save this video until I can fully appreciated it in stereo mirrored to my Big Screen TV.

Love the color palette, makes the video look like a 90s thriller movie

[ENUMeRs]

I really love the look of an anamorphic lens, rare to see, and even rarer for it to be used so well!

Nicely done pretty darn creative and I guess pays homeage to the 944 turbo ending at 9m51 seconds.

This is just a master class 🏆 Can’t stop watching it. Seen it 4 times now.

This is beautiful, and what car content should be.

[sanjaypatel]

An awe inspiring production. The choice of shots is only surpassed by the selection of music. I sincerely appreciate the amount of effort, time and discipline this required to execute.

[afeudale]

Damn impressive! Who knew an engine rebuild could make one tear up?? 🤷 Reminds me that my 944 oil cooler seals prob need replacing...lol

[ALEXANDARRR]

One of the most impressive and well filmed automotive videos I think I've ever seen on Youtube. I've been restoring my 1984 944 for almost two years now. Watching this video makes me want to re disassemble my engine again lol. Well done!

[monkeyturds]

Honestly, an uncut video of someone building an engine with the music for ambience has the same effect of Lofi for my brain. Just so relaxing

[amirhosseinkermani]

this new style of video is absolutely amazing

[larrylobster]

The mastery displayed here both from a mechanical standpoint and a talented filmmaker perspective is incredible. You ignite my passion in engineering when you produce stuff like this. Wow.

[bjrnrs]

Great video. I have a 89 Porsche 944 S2. Great car. And a great engine.

the filming, the focal points, the use of depth of field....the music, such beautiful drama, deserving of a Porsche engine rebuild, even if only a 4 cylinder
