Porsche 911 Revved for 4 Minutes Non-Stop Spits Flames, Custom Exhaust Catches Fire

You don’t have to be an aficionado to know that Porsches aren’t the kind of sportscars/supercars that like to spit fire, at least not in street trim. This simply doesn’t fit Zuffenhausen’s understated road car character.
Nevertheless, with a little bit of help from a driver who has no respect for engineering whatsoever, the 911 can play the dragon part. This is all demonstrated in the clip below, with a 991-generation 911 Carrera being tortured in Dubai.

There’s no way to soften the blow here - in a bid to draw attention, the man behind the wheel decides it’s OK to rev the flat six four minutes non-stop. While there’s no info on this, the resulting soundtrack makes it obvious the Neunelfer is gifted with a custom exhaust.

Sure, the scream of the boxer is sweet, but this guy simply doesn’t know when to stop. As all the heads in what was a high-octane parking lot turn to him, the man keeps stomping on that throttle pedal.

As things keep heating up, the exhaust turns red. As the burned fuel-air mixture exits the combustion chamber and reaches the glowing exhaust, this starts spitting fire.

Alas, at a certain point, a part that appears to be a piece of rubber holding the exhaust in place catches fire, turning this into an even worse stunt than it already was.

Perhaps this guy was a bit too keen to take advantage of the water-cooled modern Porsche engine. Or maybe he just doesn’t know how to treat such cars.
