There is no substitute for a Porsche and now you know why. The Cars YouTube channel shared a wonderfully hypnotic video featuring the assembly of the heart of the Porsche 911– the thumping boxer-6 engine.
The process is a mix of cutting edge and old tradition as high grade metals and components are being put together under the care of highly skilled technicians. Apparently, the human touch is still necessary when it comes to building the most famous power unit from Porsche.
The 6-minute video highlights everything from piston installation, crankshaft assembly, to torquing the bolts to specification.
The Porsche 911 engine assembly video is a celebration of precision. For the Porschephiles and engine nerds, this video is pure mechanical pornography.
