50 Years of Off-road Supercars

Porsches were winning dirt races in the 1950s. Ferrari once scored a WRC podium. Off-road supercars aren't just a new trend, they've been around for decades, in off-road racing like Dakar. With the end of Group B in the 80s, off-road supercars became the high-speed toys we see today, and their popularity is rising. In this video, we take a look at some of the history of off-road sports cars and supercars, to see why these aren't just a recent trend or dumb gimmick. Off-road supercars bring back fun! In this video, host James Freeman (@car-nivores) describes the Lamborghini Sterrato, Porsche Safari, 953, 959, and 911 Dakar, Ferrari 308 GTB Gr4, Mega!
