This video is beyond wild. Simply put, a series of heavily modified Volkswagen buses of various vintages (primarily Vanagons, including a Doka) circulate Hockenheim at high speed. Several sound like they have Porsche engines with at least 300hp, and there’s at least one V8 powered one with an automatic. And they drift!

This is a totally awesome video made at the Porsche factory, depicting the production of the 356 in high detail. They are T5 body 356B’s, indicating that the video was made between 1959 and 1961. The cars were, to a large extent, made by hand, as the title “Made by Hand” suggests.

If you thought gymkhana was dead, this video will convince you that it is alive and well. It features an incredible series of maneuvers by Ken Block driving a heavily prepared Subaru WRX STi. Even if you don’t care for modern cars, the driving in this video is nothing short of awesome.
