Chris Harris Drives The Tuthill Porsche 911K - THE ASTONISHING 11,000RPM LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ย. 2024
- In its dynamic debut on camera, the concept, build and performance of the sensational Tuthill Porsche 911K is revealed in this adrenaline-packed new film from Collecting Cars. This lightweight bespoke sports car uses a vast amount of carbon-fibre to keep weight to a minimum, while a 3.1-litre flat-six engine with a rev limit of 11,000rpm produces around 350bhp, giving it an incredible power-to-weight ratio.
With a furious soundtrack and visceral driving experience as the rev counter needle spins towards 11,000rpm, its maker Richard Tuthill likens the purist character of the car to “a four-wheeled motorbike”. What’s more, with some versions of the latest Porsche 911 now tipping the scales at 1,700kg, the Tuthill 911K at just 846kg represents an astonishing achievement at just half the weight.
Richard Tuthill has already been quoted as stating that the 911K could be made even lighter with more extreme weight-saving; potentially even below the 800kg mark - so it seems that this new take on what a lightweight Porsche can be has a very exciting future for enthusiasts.

Chris Harris is sooooo much more than Top gear allowed him to be, this guy is fantastic when allowed to do what he actually does best!!!!!
Say it again for those in the back!
Let's be honest, Harris could do Topgear all by himself, he doesn't need those other two numpties. Perhaps pair him up with Henry Catchpole though for a bit of balance and someone to bounce off of.
@@michaelsummerell8618 I'd say TG could become a different show, with less comedy but still a lot about driving around the world with different but same kind of challenges it made TG so big in the the past. Pair Harris with Catchpole and Johnny Smith or Jethro and I'd definitely watch it religiously.
Spot on - Can`t stand to watch him having to deal with those two two numpties. BBC destroyed the program.@@michaelsummerell8618
The other 2 totally wasted it for me and I lost complete interest in it!!!
That last bit with Richard driving was gold 🤌🏿
Pure automotive Insanity! Amazing piece. In a world full of scripted content, you can tell that was all natural.
Two mates mucking about in a crazy creation one of them came up with. "This one's 2nd gear!"
Tea?
Yup, his driving was epic! Loved it.
When the owner of the company drives like that you know his cars mean business.
I don't think I've ever seen Chris working so hard... You could actually hear him out of breath on the track. That thing's a certified beast.
He has put on some weight.. and the cocaine doesn’t seem to be helping his sinuses.
Did they mention a price???
He sadly is to fat to drive it properly?
Don't let me misunderstood, to me he is the best "car driving on the limit and talking about it" journalist beside Tim Schrick. But in the past we saw it better (Alfaholics GTA-R 290).
@@RallyeRacin9I bet you’re fun, talking about people to their face at parties! JFC…
He is and has always been a rotund scruffy little hobbit
The way Richard drives is the equivalent of a child having max fun with no worry about consequences. It's absolutely delightful to watch
I don't think I've ever heard a flat 6 scream to 11k before, what a beautiful noise. Mr Tuthill you have made an incredible machine
Precious little on how they managed to engineer that incredible engine so it doesn't blow up, and - how much did it cost to make ?
The newer 911 GT3 would be the closest in RPM and you know how much those engines cost to develop and build.
That why Naturally Aspirated engines can rev alot higher than turbo charged engine. It takes alot of time to figure out the whole blueprint of the engine vital parts where to shave weight, strengthen and getting the cams duration exactly where it needed to be in order to get the rev limit that high. Hats off to the guy that build the car the way it should have been. Such a eargasm
@@neddy1287that isn’t true turbo engines can rev higher too but the issue is that there isn’t a point to them revving higher as the turbo lowers the maximum power to rpm ratio so that any higher revving would be pointless
@@soulsweeper1630 Name one engine that is turbo charged that revs higher than naturally aspirated engine
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the rare alchemy of engineering, camaraderie, and sheer automotive enthusiasm captured in this video? You see Chris Harris, usually the maestro at the wheel, getting literally breathless with excitement. This is the Chris we didn't get to see enough of on Top Gear - unrestrained, deeply invested, and geeking out like he's rediscovered the essence of what makes driving magical.
And let's not forget Richard, the unsung hero who's orchestrated this mechanical symphony. Seeing the creator of the 911K behind the wheel was like watching a composer conduct his own masterpiece. It wasn't just a car review; it was a story about passion, skill, and the bliss of the open road. Truly iconic moments in car culture history right here.
I’ve taken in the moment several times with this masterpiece! For me it is pretty much the perfect car. Can’t wait to see it when the speedo is finished!
Thank you for the comments. So glad you enjoyed.
I guess this deserves the title of one of the best comments to a YT video ever. Very well put!!
Mr. Harris' video with the F40 AND F50! was another all time great, that video was epic in all the right ways, and the music amplified it.
And friendship!!
This is vintage Chris Harris!
We love it!
Bless him...
Agree 100%. “old Chris” is so much better than “new Chris”. It’s not his fault as Top Gear has to cater for the masses but it just doesn’t compare with this style content!
@@edward92128 I couldn't agree more...
He's comes across a bit of a knob tbh, kept cutting off Mr. Tuthill and just seemed quite rude. Further it went on, you can see they're comfortable with each other!
As a former owner of a 911, and a club instructor, all I can say is...WOW! Brought me a huge smile and a giggle. Thanks. 👍
This has straight up got to be one of the best automotive videos ever made. Raw emotion, excitement, thrills and smiles for miles. What a machine!!!!
Look up the alfaholics gt junior that he drove, just as amazing
This is most definitely still a Porsche.
... ' James May' Once Had A Bout of "Raw Emotion" in 1976 I'm Sure of It.... 😮 8:58
Learn to spell.@user-wv1pj6wh4h
I absolutely love my car. If it was made out of carbon, like this one.. I’d love it even more!
Those two should have their own show. Real camaraderie, shared knowledge and passion. I know he builds his own car, but having a show where they both test other oddball constructors together, taking turns driving, would be great
Agreed! I would definitely subscribe to that
I'd watch the shit out of that
I’d also watch the subscribed shit out of that.
Absolutely agree! Bloody loved this!!!
th-cam.com/video/QOAXHR3grlY/w-d-xo.html
I don't think in all my hours watching car reviews on TH-cam that I've ever wanted to drive a car more. The sound gets in your soul, if only to experience it in person, I can imagine the goosebumps.
So true, i was so excited when i saw this video come up. Ive never wanted to drive any car more. The assault on the senses seems euphoric
100% with you!
This evokes the same feeling as a 917 with me. Absolutely yes, but also, scary as all hell.
Qq 3:22
That Sound!!
This might just be the most incredible car film I have ever seen. Chris Harris, in his element, cocking about with his mate in a stunning 911.
Then there's the star of the show. Richard and the team have built something truly spectacular with the 911K, awesome.
Thank you so much for making this and for sharing it with us.
Thank you for watching!
I agree as I'm a porsche guy. But Chris driving f40 and f50 is probably one of the best videos ever
Astonishing 😮
Don't forget about a cock of a car too 😅
Now that is what you call a real porsche . No need for 700bhp and twin turbos just an ultra lightweight body modest power output and an utterly insane 11000rpm redline. Amazed chris can even talk , never heard him so excited. Pure adrenaline rush. I've got goosebumps just watching.
It's not all the time I am so engaged in watching someone drive on video, but lots of times it's been a Porsche on screen.
Others would be the Lotus Evora, Lancia Delta/037/Stratos.
Nsxr on steroids lol
Couldn't agree more, anything more than 500 bhp on the road is just daft
Reminds me of his F40 and F50 video! He just loses himself to the cars!
@@richardwilliams4400 Agree, if you cant use all the throttle when you want its a waste.
Like both T and NA porsches but in general I love high strung NA builds.
We've all seen Chris get excited about a car, but I don't know if I've ever seen him at this level of pure exhilaration. It's a privilege to watch someone of his skill experiencing a magnificent car like this in the moment. Very well done Chris! Very well done Richard!!!
The closest was the Alfaholics machine, which is similar in ethos to this
this and the f40 & f50 video he done 10 years ago on Drive are definitely peak chris harris exhilaration
@@diffypooI go back to that f40 vs. F50 video every year or so… it’s perfect car porn!
Dude ABSOLUTELY KILLS his reviews, he could have his own show and I would watch TV again
I am always astonished by Chris' competence behind the wheel. What a brilliant driver. Oh and he talks throughout it all
He even talks over the person trying to answer his questions 😂
Talk about instant feedback.
I love the idea of the paint being burned off by the exhaust flashes. Like a badge of honour, similar to wear and tear on an old Stratocaster. Lovely stuff.
Came to comment the exact thing 🔥
Jimi Hendrix's stratocaster😂
Agreed - although as a pedantic Gibson owner - I'd have to add; wear on a (my) Les Paul, or any older instrument counts too... Also: My Strat can't get further paint wear; it's covered in stickers! :) \m/
... I realise exhaust flames would change that - but my little V5 Golf isn't tuned as such!
Yet...
Before I decided to be sensible and put a cat back in it my old MR2 used to spit the odd flame on the overrun if you were on it due to the map being fairly rich on boost.
People on track used to always comment on it and if you were driving at night I'd see the whole rear of the car light up as I'd punch it out of corners. Luckily I never melted anything due to how the exhaust was placed.
It was a completely unintended thing but so cool, although I eventually put a cat back on it because I didn't want to get flagged for noise on track and the car was a bit more civilised day to day but I did miss the flames. Still miles better than all that stupid popping and banging you get today.
The flames on this are the same, obviously they need to run fairly rich so with the small amount of exhaust the unburnt fuel ends up causing those flames. Not that my old shitbox was on the level of this amazingly crafted thing.
The last bit where the owner and builder of this masterpiece drove his car… I don’t think I’ve ever seen something where I could feel the joy, passion and pride as well as I did here. Made me a bit emotional to be honest
It was a bit emotional, I have to agree with you.
Got me too
Same😊
Fantastic review, car, and cinematography. Aboslutely 10/10 straight through. Probably one the top 5 youtube videos of all time, for a car enthusiast.
Reminds me of his old channel. Don't understand why he dropped it.
@@itisjustacommentExactly what I was thinking. Chris Harris on cars was just pure Automotive gold.
The end of this film was just too perfect. Two bros just having the time of their lives. Thank you Chris!
That is near perfection. Thank God there are still enthusiasts like him out there. That car has soul that no electric car will ever have. He can drive too :)
Exactly! electric cars and motorcycles are soulless.
How about driving one first?
@@pato10111No.
@@dominicjoyce1194 Mate Rimac begs to differ.
Yes and no!! The Rimac have the best time ever fir road legal cars, there "say" but no cetification from a neutral test,but we think its real?! There say 0-200km/h in 4,45 secound!! Yes its unbelivebel like a small dragster!! But the Problem the Akku go very fast to high with the temperatur,when you need and give full electric power,and than you must drive slow with Max.130km/h to the point the Akku go colder,it need 20-30minits than you can go fast for 5 minits and than the same procederes like bevor, and the car is much to heavy with all the heavy Akku in the car. And the price for around 2 Millionen dollar, and in 8 or 10 years you need new akku's, for very very high price!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
Last year at Quail in Monterey I was eating lunch and through the trees was a stunning little gold 911. I threw away the rest of lunch and beelined to this car. For about 30 min Richard Tuthill gave me a thorough tour of this exquisite thing. I sat in it, he started it and revved it. By the time a peeled myself away there was a group of about 50 surrounding the car. Richard was the realest. Highlight of my many years at Monterey Car Week.
'Exquisite' isn't the first word that comes to my mind; maybe Devil Car Incognito...yeah, that's it.
What did he divulge about the 4 valve / 4 cam air cooled motor?
I've never been so entertained waiting and listening to a 1972 Porsche 911 with grabs corners and screams louder than Robbie Williams. This is poetry in bloody motion.
Thank you kind sir for showing me something that escaped from W1.
I think that’s about as good as a 911 can get. What a beautiful car. A masterpiece and still looks like an original 911. Stunning, simply stunning.
this is like my first 911, except rust was used to lighten the weight...😅
Thats as good as a CAR can get!
Well Singer also make a good porsche
Both that and Singer's AFAIK
Stunning.... and ANGRY.
Give Neil and Chris W a crate of beer for this one, honestly. Epic job.
I have never laughed out loud at a piece of car journalism before, at the sheer unbridled joy of it. Just excellent lads.
Exactly! It's 4am and I turned this on and woke up the entire house. This was epic. Chris, you got me in trouble. Haha
Mr. Tuthill, sir, you're a brilliant man. Incredible bulld! Congrats to anyone who helped on this project! Seeing Chris drive this was so fun even thousands of miles away. Thank you both.
@ 6:21 - the flames coming out of the exhaust made me smile! "what 'ave they done!"
15:30
Car - Next Level
Chris - Totally different person.
Don't think in all the years of watching Chris drive cars that he has ever been so excited and emotional. This video was truly epic because the level's of everything just ramped up with each minute. Throwing Richard behind the wheel for the last little drive was fantastic, such a hoot and knows how to pedal. The lets stop for Tea had me giggling, so good.
Next video - seeing these two driving one of Richard's rally special 911's
Glad you enjoyed!
This one goes to eleven.
I think one of his best videos if no the best is the head to head with the F40 and F50. I love that video!
I just typed something very similar, then read this. Agree.
@@TINRFD agree that it's a great video as no one has ever abused cars like this like Chris has. Still say this is a better video overall. Scareyo Neil did an awesome job.
More. Of. THIS! Chris and Neil really do make amazing films. I'm sad that this isn't a weekly series that I can get up and watch on Sunday mornings.
Exactly. Neil's cinematography and Chris behind the wheel is always epic. Neil deserves his flowers.
Neil and Chris are the best duo going. The P1 video at Yas Marina is 👌
Okay. You can have your Bugattis, Koenigs, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, whatever. This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. I grew up with Porsches; my dad bought a Covertible D in 1960, when they were just "funny little cars". A 912 in '66, in which I took (and passed) my driver's exam. I've had 911s, a couple Boxsters (I have one now, love it). But this? This is high art. Ferry Porsche is laughing his ass off. This car was launched SIXTY YEARS ago. What a car! THANK YOU! Nice driving, Chris. Very smooth. As the great Jackie Stewart said, "You've GOT to be smooth!" And you were quite good.
Before they went over materials, I thought "Hey, how nice that he kept the original look so much." only to realize the entire thing is... well usually you'd say "a replica" but this is obviously quite a lot more than that. I love how it captures the spirit of Porsche in a technological sense, using the best materials and as little of them as possible. This is Plasa's 134Judd levels of cool.
This makes my top 3 all topics combined TH-cam videos for 2023 (so far). This video confirms EVERYTHING is possible. Thank you !
Wow! What a machine!
Richard and the team at Tuthill have outdone themselves.
Sub 850 kg is insane in this world of tonne plus hatchbacks and then adding a motor that revs like a superbike. Just sublime.
Glad you enjoyed!
Nice to see not too over tyred and not too stiff. A lot of these types of cars fall into that trap whilst looking like the old cars. This seems to be approaching it from the point of view of how the car would have been back then if they had modern materials and engine internals, but same dynamics, just notched up.
Still the big elephant in the room and that is cost. Not for the large amount of money to buy, but that fact that when blasting along a B road you might end up with the odd incident or slight scrape. Perhaps there would be too much anxiety on approaching SUVs and tractors etc. You might end up wanting to protect it too much to really drive it as it deserves, like Richard and Chris did.
Finally someone makes a really interesting 911 engine bay that is a bit out of the ordinary. Wish I had heard more about the engine and its engineering. Nice video though.
The last short clip of Richard driving, with him not as polished a driver as Chris nicely added some perspective on how smooth and intense of a driver our host is. Fantastic car, and Chris Harris is a pleasure to watch driving.
Richard did quite well, I think he was trying to show off for the cameras and get a bit more mental, though I'm sure Chris overall is probably much smoother.
It takes years of experience to be that smooth in any car at the balance point
RT is a rally driver
Tuthill is a professional rally car driver. He built this porsche to be a daily-able rally car, so he drives it like one. I'm sure if he wanted to take a more refined line along a corner, he would have. Where's the fun in that? Tuthill is so good that he was able to scratch his nose, adjust his glasses and give the codriver signals - mid-drift!
@@LeHazyI think Richard was demonstrating the insane 11k rev limit by holding the 2nd gear for so long...
Please can we see more of Richard driving too!!? This is just incredible. Amazing work to all involved. I just love that this exists 🙌👏
The guy is a savage psycho in disguise 😂
so who's here after watching seen through glass video with Phil?
I’m back to watch this again yes 🤣
I saw the thumbnail and I thought it might be Phil’s car.
Yesss!
Have seen it before but worth a second watch, and just read Chris’s book where he said he went to school with Richard Tuthill
The last min and a half of this vid, with this beast's creator at the wheel, and Chris riding shotgun, was hands down some of THE BEST CollectingCars/TH-cam-car-creator-content I've seen in quite awhile! And watching both of you throttling that thing out of a skid was absolutely STELLAR!!! What an epic car! Thank you for sharing this (especially that last min and a half), I loved every second of it.
Richard was boss hogging that car, the handbrake rip was just a cherry on top
i agree 100% with buddylee!
Watched this bit about 5 times over, love it!
Those flames!
@@ej2863charring the paint... priceless.
The noise, the look, the weight, the gearbox and the fricking flames! 🔥
13:58 starts some of the best driving I have ever seen, period. This is clearly someone who can drive but also has full confidence in themself and their car and its so impressive the car handled it so well. Chris's reaction and the camera angle made it so much better.
Yeah, Richard is a psycho genius behind the wheel, lol, I wasn't expecting that
@@redoz9768He's a rally boy😁
He was being way too reactive and probably just messing about. My point is if you have to react to what the car is doing, you have failed to predict what the car is about to do. It's not amazing driving, in Richard's case he almost certainly chose to drive it this way because it can be more fun.
He literally said 'i've only done 1 lap of this track' before he got behind the wheel. He can drive.
@ArianOriginal21 Theres always that one gimp in the comment section that thinks he knows what hes talking about. You literally are talking about it as if Lauda and who ever would say this guy is a bad driver. Keep sitting there being the armchair expert almost everyone who actually applies themselves to disciplines hates.
I know so many racers, drivers that have respect and appreciate aspects of each others style because in the end being a final percentile driver is not the only thing about driving.
First time commenting on these videos.. genuinely one of the most entertaining 15 minutes of unadulterated driving madness! Chris Harris is an absolute legend and his mate Richard.. gooo onnn ladd.
Absolutely incredible creation. Quite simply a true “ Masterpiece “. Obviously we can’t ignore the driving from you both as well.
I think that cuppa was well deserved !
🫖
I’m not a Porsche guy (yet) but I do love the community and passion for beauty and the experience of driving.
This example is peak humble passion for (near) perfection.
I say near, because it’s a car to be driven not just sit on the concourse, which to me is perfection.
Gordon Murray will have his name down for one of these. 850kg is ridiculous 😅
And 11k RPM to boot!
Gordan Murray approved!
It even sounds like a T50 😅
Colinn Chapman ordered one.
Ahem.. 846.
Wow wow wow, the best film I’ve seen from Chris Harris. Loved every moment of that film from my favourite road in the UK (sshhh let’s keep it quiet and not mention where) to Richard driving it at blyton. The car is perfection for any petrol head. Light weight 11k room NA engine. You can’t beat that. You can keep your powerful modern flappy paddle rubbish. I’ll have myself some lightweight NA cars thank you. Thank you Chris for making this film and that you Richard for making the car
We're glad you enjoyed it!
I was looking through the comments to try to find the road lol. I would guess wales having recently done a road trip there and seen some of the greatest roads and scenery I’ve ever seen. Please tell us where it is, looks an amazing road
@@marka6203it reminds me of the B4391 in Wales, if it isn’t I’d recommend checking it out regardless.
Yeah. First I wanted more tech details: what's the tires, suspension setup, spitfire fueling. Then it took me like a good action flick, and I got it that more tech talk would dissolve this intense production, a great direction this one, true cinematic masterpiece.
Sshhhh ffs, more people know the more chance police will get speed cameras on it
Coming back to watch my absolute favourite 2 minutes of car hoonery of my life. The last 2 minutes of this video are perfect, much love to Chris Harris & the team
One of the best 15 minutes of screentime I've had in a while - epic, what an engine! What a car!
I don't think that video can ever be topped! It was 100% perfection in every way! Harris, Tuthill, Carey, Waterfield and the absolute ultimate air cooled 911. Thank you 🙌
Yeah, I'm not much of a Porsche fan, GT-R fan boi here, but holy moly, there are times when any car guy has to take his hat off to a well made machine, and this is one of them!
love the last bit where tuthill gives the car a go sliding, 15:04 - amazing shot!! really captures the adrenaline,
I wish I could give this video 10 likes, incredible project, incredible guys having fun, the kind of car video we all want to see. Thank you mate!
I love my old 911 but this takes what they can be to a level never seen before - 11,000 RPM is simply staggering and the weight is uber-low. Wow is all I can say on the car but so well driven by both Chris and the segment with Richard at the end is just magic film - sensational work team!
We're glad you enjoyed!
If Rob Dickinson, the founder of Singer 911, drives this 911K example, he may run out of superlatives to qualify it. That is high praise indeed for what Sir Tuthill managed with his entire crew on this engineering masterpiece. The moment Chris Harris Co-founded Collecting Cars, he found love and passion, and it shows in this video. Epic drive, epic achievement. Bravo!!
I thought I was tired with the endless stream of resto-mods, but this THIS. I'm just speechless. This is how I'd have mine
Best car video I've seen in years. Chris knocks it out of the park every time. That car is stunning, bz Rich.
*No matter how fast electric cars are, they will NEVER have the soul of something like this. Amazing car!*
Electric motors have more soul than any ICE has ever had. There's deep, powerful but subtle mystery to them. An ICE is like a burping hick in comparison :-).
@@adoatero5129 They have the soul of an cordless screwdriver...
Same between a mechanical watch and a quartz.
@@alejandroperez5368There are some amazing cordless drill now. I haven't even used a corded drill for at least a decade at this point.
Electric cars have zero soul. Only an EV zealot would make such a claim as yours.
The right amount of power, the right amount of weight, the right about of tire, the right amount of suspension movement, and the right weight distribution...to have an absolute handful at all times. Love it. Love that it isn't super buttoned down and over-tired...it seems to be always on the knife edge but not a total killer over the limit either.
What an incredible car, and production to boot! You guys really did a masterful job of showing the glory of the car at the edge, just wow 😯
We're glad you enjoyed it!
I love my turntable, I am making a classic longbow instead of bying a new compound bow, I make my lasagne from the bottom instead of using a kit, I sharpen my knifes with wetstones, I collect classic wrist watches..... this era of 911´s, the sound and the dedication to the build are SO much more compelling to me then the new ones.
Richard driving at the end was priceless! What a machine, what a man! Thanks guy's.
This is what I’ll miss about true enthusiasts cars! Not a ton of power, not a bunch of fancy electronics… Just pure driving experience!
I totally agree, your words nailed it to the exact point!!
Real engineering and the classic small, light, rear wheel drive
This was phenomenal. It's SO rare now to see cars made with such soul and passion for people who want to drive the wheels off them, rather than sit in a collection. Seeing Richard loving every second of ragging it around the track is superb... Amazing.
This was the most exhilarating video I have ever watched on TH-cam. I have never been so tightly caught in the grip of the sin of envy. Incredible. The world needs a 911K.
That ending is possibly the best 3 minutes of any car review I’ve ever seen. Holy cow that was fun.
This has to be one of the best car videos ever made. Well done Chris! What a beast of a car!
I saw this car in Carmel CA 2 weeks ago parked on the street. Swarmed with photographers. Magnificent
I saw it at Laguna Seca about a year ago at Velocity, and I stared at this art piece for like an hour. Truly amazing car.
If that doesn't make you want to ride the ragged edge, I don't know what will! My heart rate's up just watching. Drive man drive!!
Can’t wipe the smile off my face.
The shot from behind the two of them is simply epic. Then the throw back to them smiling and giggling whilst they throw it around. And finally layered over the top of it all, 11,000 RPM’s!!!!!!!
W o w!!! Bravo
I loved that shot as well. Really emphasizes the forces they're being subjected to as the car maneuvers.
Best car video of all time. Cheers to Chris and Richard. Car is phenomenal and the passion of you both is unreal! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent!
Exactly what cars should be; lightweight, high revving and ultimately fun.
Well done to all involved.
I thought the point of cars was to get u from point A to point B.
@@seanl764 If you're referring to a "transportation appliance," that one's in the other garage and it will carry one adequately to where one needs to be transported. The little gold one that raises the hair on the back of your neck is the FUN ONE that takes you out for the weekend and encourages you to forget all those mundane responsibilities. I do think it will get that job done quite well!!! 😂🤣
Thanks Chris! I'll probably never get the chance to drive a proper fast car, but I can always count on you to relay the experience to me. The way you communicate what these cars feel like "puts me there" as much as imagination can ever do. Much appreciated as always.
14:53 the owner/drivers energy is unreal! what a build and sound
It Reminds me of when Francis Tuthill rebuilt my 2.7 RS engine, "lets take it to Goodwood to run it in " he said, So on a very wet track, most folks weren't even going to go out, but we had a job to do. Without going into too much detail, I have never since been as sideways as we were that day, and it taught me and a rather confused 911 Turbo 4wd owner a valuable lesson, instead of the search more and more power, learn to drive what you have.
This car is insane, it’s basically bringing the GT3 concept in an aircool 911 and then dial it up to 11… what an insane engine.
Dialled up to 11,000
It feels like a "modernized" 2.7 Carrera RS, even more lightweight, and with 70% more power.
I would have loved to see the typical rear spoiler on this.
"Why don't you just make 11, 10?" ... "This one goes to 11."
I would thumbs up you, but you're at 11.
350hp in this is a pocket rocket! Subtle clean functional and nuts where it counts!
Only 6 Ive heard that sound great are these.
If there was ever a Porsche you could brand as a Sleeper this is it.
So great to see Chris Harris back. He is the best in the world at this and I’ve really missed his old TH-cam videos. Please come back to more ‘Chris Harris on cars’ style videos
Chris, never seen a more entertaining car video - all my life (and I am 60). Loved the final sequence with you both rejoicing like kids, absolutely otherworldly!
Wow, even Richard's glasses are lightweight, he really has taken it all to a new level. Superb stuff!
His hair too!
As a motorbike rider, that thrill of high RPM is always alluring, you start to feel like you're part of the machine when the whole thing is buzzing and you start to appreciate the engineering and precision that I could never afford to access in a car with anywhere similar performance. This car looks bring those same thrills in many ways (without the low budget entry point of course).
So there's a V4 Ducati can push up to 16,500 rpm, 200+ hp is decent power for a sports car, why isn't this more of a thing?
Maybe even put 2 engines together, 2.0L 450 hp V8 16,500 rpm
@@kerimca98Hartley engineering make a V8 in various configurations from a pair of Hayabusa heads mated to a custom bottom end. The NA variants push between 420 and 520HP. Some lunatics turbo them.
Just hearing that motor scream at 11,000rpm sends chills up my spine! This is such raw excitement that makes me love the Porsche 911 so much.
One of the purest, most authentic iterations of the iconic 911 - absolutely marvelous !
Lol after everything 911 was replaced or highly modified... Where do you clowns come from?
One of, if not the best, pieces of car filming and editing I have ever watched. Up there with Clarkson’s Aston Martin eulogy. Congratulations to the cameraman and editor. The car and presenter aren’t too bad either!
Glad you enjoyed it. Neil Carey and Chris Waterfield directed and edited.
This is my new replacement for the “Killing Tires” video… gets me hyped every time.
Spectacular car, scenery, engine, creator, and host. The slip angles of that car during grip laps is stunningly beautiful. Richard has achieved the perfect split between performance and road compliance. This car proves the winning formula with its lightness, sidewall tires, and not being over-sprung. Bravo bravo!!
This may be my new favorite Porsche
Edit: 14:34 Yup, favorite Porsche ever.
It might be one of ours too!
This one made me shed a tear of joy, I can feel the fun through the video. Chris Harris giving us the driving we wanna see, like always, and Richard Tuthill god bless you, your whole family, and your whole lineage, you have created peak sports car right here. That rear weight balance, the way it wants to oversteer & the way you can make it oversteer and have to manage oversteer, this chassis is unrivaled in terms of fun to start with, whats been done here is its been taken to 20/10. 👏🏽❤️ 🏎🔥🔥💨💨💨💨
Sideways Singh is probably the best name I've ever seen 😅
15:27 - These few frames sum it up PERFECTLY.
The smile on Chris's face says more than you will ever need to know.
And THAT is what my soul is searching for.
I could FEEL Chris's heart beat hitting 11,000 BPM through the screen.
Genius, perfection, CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris is such a good driver and passenger. Love how he enjoys driving and riding alongside genuinely happy for the driver.
I don’t think there is better test driving content made out there than Chris behind the wheel. Chapeau! What a beast! 🤤
After watching this video, I WANT one!!
After watching this video, I know I couldn't have one even if I had all the money. It would be the last thing I ever bought and what I'd be buried in. Just watch how Chris has to work at managing this thing, even when driving it on the road, much less on the track, and he's a professional!
Watching Richard drive it was brilliant! He clearly has some skill, but it puts it into perspective how much power this car has.
Glad he built it and that Chris videoed it. Thanks guys.
This is the most fun I've had watching someone else drive. Chris as always is masterful and Richard is just a lunatic. Neil Carey's camerawork is brilliant. What a combination he and Chris are.
As for the car................wow. Just wow. No other words will do it justice.
We're glad you enjoyed!
That was hands down the most exciting track drive I've ever witnessed. The sound, the skids, the emotions! Amazing. This is what it's all about . I want one!
I've never wanted a car so much... What a beautiful mechanical symphony. Love you and your work Richard❤
I don't think there have been many cars that I've wanted more than this one. What an extraordinary thing!
One of the best videos I've watched in ages. So much respect for both of you in what you're doing and even better together. Please keep this approach up Chris - its what you're best at and you've been winning me over since the early Pistonheads days. I'll only keep on coming back for content this genuine.
Glad you enjoyed!
Truth be told I rarely make comment, but this car review is by far the best I have experienced! A vicarious, visceral experience on overload! Bravo gentlemen!
Chris, I think this is my favorite car video on TH-cam. Bravo to you, Richard, and his Porsche. This is a masterpiece.
The older the Porsche, the more you appreciate it. Timeless
So the Porsche VK 45.01 (P) WW2 tank is your favourite??
@@Emira_75 Nah Porsche was stealing designs from Tatra even before the war. VK45 was a bad design btw
@@hagestad nope
A beautifully executed masterpiece! I love everything about it, especially how alive it looks in corners with its suspension compressing and big sidewalls.
And that bit at the end with Chris in the passenger seat was so much fun to watch!
This video make me smile from 1st to last second. Probably the most exciting video in the channel, you can see Chris enjoying every second of it
I watch this video to remind myself of what being a car enthusiast is all about.
The shear happiness in this vid. Unreal
This is truly sensational. I love how the front wheel lifts up coming out of a corner under hard acceleration
I saw that, and thought it would have made a great slow-mo clip!
