Der Faszination Is The New Destination For Porsche Passion
A new Porsche-obsessed YouTube channel has recently popped up, and you all need to be watching it.
If you are as crazy about the cars from Stuttgart as we are here at 6Speed, then you need to go check out DER FASZINATION on YouTube. They are already 7 gorgeous videos into their series, and seemingly nobody is catching on to the fact that they’ve got some of the best videos out there. Each one of their 5-7 minute videos are a combination of car and owner profiles, in a similar vein to the Petrolicious videos everyone has grown to love. However, each of Der Faszination’s videos are focused on a special model from our favorite German sports car maker.
There are some rumors that Porsche themselves were involved in this channel somehow, which is believable considering the production value. Faszination is a word that Porsche themselves have used extensively in advertising and promotional collateral for decades. Obviously, it is the German word for “Fascination”, but in this case it may as well be a stand in for ‘obsession’, because that’s what Porsche does to you. Once you’re indoctrinated to the Porsche way of life, you can’t ever leave.
Unlike a lot of people in the Porsche world, these guys can seem to take a joke as well, seeing as they produced an April Fool’s Day video on a fake “One-Of-Five Porsche Type 181”, which was nothing more than a Volkswagen Thing with Porsche stickers down the side. Based on what we’ve seen on social media, a bunch of Porsche faithful were duped by that little trick of a video.
In any case, the videos are well shot, well produced, and they’re all about a really cool Porsche, so what more could you ask for in a YouTube channel? They’ve only got 254 subscribers at the moment, so go be number 255. With new Porsche videos every Thursday, they’re really on top of their game.
