Caterham 620R & Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997.2): the best track car of the last 25 years
40,171
Published 2023-06-02
See, following very close behind in the voting was the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0. And if you could take both cars to Snowdonia for a couple of days - a place that seems custom-made to play host to them - then, of course, you're going to. So that’s exactly what we did. And while they arguably exist at different ends of the road-legal track car spectrum, it is the laser focus on driver reward that separates them from the chasing pack - a pack that included Lamborghini, Ferrari and McLaren. Primarily, both are light, fast, and huge fun. And about as memorable to drive as any motor car gets. Join Matt Bird as all his Christmases come at once.

From experience the best track car is the car you can throw in to a corner as fast as you can without worrying about the costs if you were hit a wall.

Love my 9974S. Its a beast and lovely balance in turns. Strangely less manic than M3.

620r driven properly gives any road going Porsche a clean set of heals and you can see this on my channel! Not a Porsche hater, I own a 992 Turbo S so love the Porsche range. Great video PH 🤙🏻🏎🚀

Two of my dream cars - I have one (a non-supercharged 7 CSR with 255hp) but no way I could afford that Porsche without a divorce lol

For future reference: don't upload in 16:9 with bars. Instead just use 21:9 aspect ratio. I'm watching on ultrawide and yeah, I don't have the intended effect :)

I’d take the Caterham hands down, every time. No car I’ve ever driven comes even close the the visceral buzz, purity, joy and fun than a quick 7. The 911 is lardy & insulated from the elements. Sadly, people’s obsession with the brand image compels people through fragile ego to choose the porky Porker. If you don’t believe me about just what a natural high a quick 7 conveys, then drive one. Leave your prejudices & ego behind. Dare you. Caterham; there is NO substitute.

So glad the 7 took it.
