Petrolheads, assemble: it’s a new Porsche 911 GT3. Which is basically like saying ‘it’s a new Bowie album’ to the music nerds. This is benchmark sports car, the one by which the steering feel, chassis composure and engine response of every other supposed supercar on the market is measured against. The 992 GT3 gets a racecar engine, a ginormous wing and a rather special new knob. And this is what happens when Chris Harris is tasked with running that glorious 4.0-litre flat-six engine in, just so he can open the taps and spank it around a track.

Love GT3s? Watch Chris Harris tour his dream garage, where there's every generation of Porsche 911 GT3:    • THIS is the new Porsche GT3: Chris Ha...

  • Top gear just became Chris Harris on Cars, which is fine with me. BBC just give the man his own show and tons of $$ please and thank you
  • @idknils2920
    this man single handedly keeps the show alive. He is the only one with original lines
  • @daxair644
    Why do they still make top gear like they do? Why can't we just have Chris Harris every week and have it filmed like this. This is honestly one of the best short films I've seen! Bloody good work to the lads and lasses who made this.
  • @evoermine
    The “nitty gritty, geeky car journalism” is by far more preferable to the other stuff. Harris driving fast cars on the road just talking. Very watchable.
  • @PeakVT
    So glad they went back to the Chris + Neil format for this one. On the internet it works so much better than the 'jazz hat' studio stuff.
  • @abath3493
    This felt very Chris Harris On Cars... excellent.
  • @bogatron69
    The gear shift up shift mid drift while counter steering was an epic Chris Harris moment. 13:50
  • @youbian
    Harris: When we’re all electric, we’re gonna miss this. Porsche: Joke’s on you, we’re developing eFuels.
  • @Mr888rM
    Finally a real chris harris review. No stupid jokes, no dumb music drops. Just the best car nerd around and neil master behind the lense
  • @Robbilang24
    Chris is talking about GT3’s the same way someone would speak about their beloved family dog who just turned 15. Full of love, yet kind of brings a tear to your eye.
  • @mattfreeman5618
    Fair play to Chris. Despite joining a mainstream motoring show and having to appease the masses he still manages to appeal to the die hard car enthusiast with his delivery of endless knowledge, skill and passion. Few can achieve this.
  • @secondstage4272
    This is the sort of video I love to see! No tacky scripts no silly ideas about racing a GT3 vs a hot air balloon to Italy. Just Chris driving and enjoying it and sharing his passion for cars with all of us. Please do more content like this!
  • Chris Harris presenting a love letter to Porsche's GT department. May we have cars like this as long as we possibly can.
  • @zackklapman3569
    Big props to Top Gear for making a 19-minute CH video and putting it on YouTube.
  • @ianmulhern5538
    Man that transition @ 13:50 was top notch! I love how Chris can articulate all of the feelings and aspects of a car while running it flat out.
  • @nolimits4942
    No dramatic music, no dramatic editing. Just Chris Harris talking about the car along with the engine roaring in the background. PERFECT
  • Just give this dude his win show. And let him do exactly what he wants to do. No gimmicks. Just Harris on Cars
  • @TheGuthan
    "When we're all electric, we're gonna miss this" that one hurt a bit.
  • @geoffclarke3796
    Thank you Porsche for still offering the GT3 with a large high revving naturally aspirated engine plus the option of a manual gearbox in favour of the PDK (which is probably the best of its kind). The sound alone makes it to me more desirable to me than a V8 Ferrari or any McLaren.
