“Two fans from a gaming PC” - Chris Harris 2019 10/10
Stop looking into things too deep. Its simply 2 fans... from a gaming pc.
Special mention to: "... And that is the sound of plastic." 💯
@Jeff Ma Watercooling just isn't as "cool" as air-cooling (Porsche 911 joke)
Needs RGB fans for maximum PCMR cred though.
I wish I could be that rich guy that buys a 911 just for the 2 fans to make a custom built PC!
Nobody powerslides a car more gracefully than Chris. And Neil's cinematography is simply sublime.
I think you meant "gracefully".
Cars &Watches Yes, I did. Thanks for pointing out my mistake, I've corrected it.
@@Deuteross no problem. 😉
agree completely! . his drifts are just so smooth. and the way he controls that steering ... its like his not even trying!
is that car 4s or s?
Chris Harris is the benchmark for great car reviewers.
Just next to Henry Catchpole.
BC BEN you apparently have very low standards
@@joapps8135 name a better motoring journalist. Harris is and has been the best for many years
Sean O'Connor Mat Watson from Carwow
@@rektgg6426 hahaha
Yours is my favorite review of the 992. Driving her on the track allowed you to demonstrate handling characteristics that others could not. That fact alone created far more excitement for me than all other reviews combined. I appreciate you are a more than competent driver, capable of demonstrating the kind of fun a lot of us will get to enjoy on occasions when a fine section of road appears and no-one is in sight who might take issue. You gave appropriate time and attention to comfort, style and practicality points. In that regard, thank you for not measuring the boot space or climbing into the rear seat. You showed them to me, drew logical conclusions as to their usefulness and moved on. Camera work was excellent, with drone footage deserving special mention. Lastly, this video being my introduction to you, you present yourself as a qualified Dude, whose man-card is properly endorsed. If you lived in Arizona, USA, we'd be friends. Thank you for the effort and resources you put into creating such high quality content. EDIT: Since writing this comment, I've come to realize you are a rock star among auto reviewer. I'm such a novice!
He definitely is a step above all other car reviewers.
That can't be...he's reviewing himself more than the car...
No, the old top geae is better, jeremy is better dude
Doug is bae
All the TH-cam car reviewers are better than him...
James May says Chris Harris is the best car journalist...
Pls Top Gear, a 2-3 hour 'Director's Edit' where it's Mr Harris prodding door handles and offering opinions on wheel nuts... would make me very happy :)
speak up for all of us!!! 👌👌✔✔
Yep agree we need a longer edit! The HarrisEdit
I have a 991.2 Turbo S custom and made a review of it on my channel. I would be so happy if a few of you give me a chance / support and check it out. Have a great day
They could make a 5 hour video of Chris Harris ranting about random things, and I'm going to watch every second of it.
It’s Top Gear for people that are actually interested in cars!
What's the best thing about the new 911? 9:11
Sammy wow. What a find.
That can't be an accident.
This is trolling level 9000!
Damn!!!
A really noice, round.... awss
Soooo glad you've let Chris and Neil have a regular CHOC episode for this heavily antecipated review. This is the way to go, TG!
And the GT3 Touring bit made me smile, good to see you having a laugh about it now!
Do you know what happened?
betaich he was involved in an accident while driving his GT3 Touring, don't know if it is being fixed or if he's getting a new one, but I'm pretty sure it was one of his favourite cars of all time. Google the accident and you'll find a picture
Thank you @@Rodrigoxki
"That... is the sound of plastic."
I hope the aftermarket people are hot on this thing. You spent a fortune for a 911 and then you have to spend another fortune afterwards to make it proper.
That really hurt
Yep. Not a great trap there
That engine be pain to work on and only access is from the bottom..LOL
@@Amonny McLaren? Plastic! Haha. Try nowadays Mercedes and VW
Why is Harris so good? He has the confidence to be himself without adding unnecessary comedy (which is why I feel Top Gear the program butchers his delivery). Brilliant character, brilliant driver, brilliant reviewer.
Brilliant car...just sayin :D
I’m a simple man. I see a new Chris Harris Drives and I leave a like.
I guess i'm a simple man as well lol
Me too, well said!
Chris Harris was the right choice for Topgear .. good review and I watched all of it. Matt and Co were not a good fit for the show and I stopped watching it.
Amen
I'm a simple man too. I see repeated unoriginal comments, I hit dislike.
I never get tired of Chris's reviews. They are simply too good and on different level.
But you don't understand him coz you're from Finland?
@@farzana6676 The fact that my user name is Finnish tells absolutely nothing regarding my real origin. In fact, I am used to dealing with British people, I learnt english in a British academy and I have no problem whatsoever understanding Harris. And no, by no means, I am not Finnish nor Scandinavian.
@@taratatabo you'd be surprised. you can very often tell someones origin by his name
@@psychonauticker If only we assume this would be my REAL name. Which it is not.
On a different level is what you are trying to say 😉
Ya but whats the Dougscore?
Ouch 😂😂😂
Bruh can't wait for Doug to check out a rivian
LOLOL!
Doug can't hold Chris jock strap!
"THIS...is the new 911 (20 minutes of 'quirks and features' and 2 minutes of actual driving later)"...
This was one of the best Harris videos I've seen in ages! It seemed so genuine and so much more like Chris Harris on Cars than rather than the acted up Top Gear episode films. Great watch
We need Chris back on the Joe Rogan Experience to talk more about cars...
Pretty sure last time he was on, Chris was saying how much he wanted to be part of Top Gear.
BUMP . . X 1000
Joe Rogan is so two years ago.
Yes
I did an Review with new 911 Carerra S also on my channel. Here it is : th-cam.com/video/uUrA1a4eAoU/w-d-xo.html
Joe Rogan is the Mcdonalds of podcasting. cheap, plentiful, low quality, garbage
Yeah theres something about chris harris reviewing a car, noone else seems to do it like him
Shaiheim McRae except for the real top gear people
Cause he actually drives the damn machines!!!!
sounds bored as hell
Bust thru Facts
Jeremy Clarkson
I only watch Top Gear cuz of Chris. He saved it.
Timotheus Rory Reid was good too...and i'm kinda sad LeBlanc left
True. Good point.
Timotheus I don’t watch top gear anymore after the 3 amigos left. I only watch Chis on TH-cam and I watch Grand Tour.
Not sure.....he comes across with forced acting and nerdy ... would prefer him to be more natural like Rory.
BEARD 💯
Daniel G it’s almost as if he took the hair from the top of his head and brought it down to his chin.
He needs to straighten up those cheek lines.
@@toejamr1 Line that beard up @ChrisHarris. Otherwise looks great!
Wahhaj Ali I don’t know what you are saying here lol
Beard game strong Chris.
He’s unbelievably easy to watch and listen too, true natural presenter. So glad Top Gear has him on TV still.
8:04 "2 fans from a gaming PC and a plastic badge" - best automotive commentary I've heard in years
Yellow, the only color!
I've seriously never once read that sentiment before...
I look forward hearing your thoughts of it. Do you have an idea of when you will get your hands on one of these?
Nick is getting a new 911 in Yellow CONFIRMED!
Suits it well :)
It’s yellow just to match the ceramic brakes and upset Nick 😂
These Doug references are awful - Chris Harris is the OG non-bias/slide a car sideways mid sentence proclaiming his nuanced distain of the design. Nobody does it better.
disdain
“What’s a race track?” - Doug
Chris Harris goes over the quirks and features of the new 992.
Yeah i was wondering who is copying who there, because i'm not familiar with most of Chris' reviews, but it definitely reminded me of Doug. Not to say that it's a bad thing, i like quirks and features.
DethstruXioN ™ You insult Chris saying he reminds you of Doug!
And I think this is great. Normaly tv rewiews are just cinematics.
And then he going to give it a Chrisscore
Let me know when Demuro can effortlessly drift a car around a track
Chris, I hope you cherish your children. They obviously love their Dad to endure the back seat of a Carrera. BTW love your work.
Me crying in bed wanting a 992 just like this one but im only 15😪🤧😵
I have wanted a 911 since I was your age. I'm now in my early 50s - and I'm ordering my first one soon. Never give up!
Yay more chris harris
He is holding the Top Gear. If he is out the show is done.
The old cast is better✅
@@rebelsimracer7661 yes, but Chris Harris is good too.
Hoping Chris and Henry Catchpole will team up and do a serious car show
Special appearances from Harry Metcalfe.
Add Jethro to make a great trio!
I'm sure they once all worked together at some point at Evo.
8:04 Two fans from a gaming PC
lololololololol : P
... Where can I buy these fans xD?
And I thought my PC was hot
10:25 The downshifts...! 👌😁😍
I did an Review with new 911 Carerra S also on my channel. Here it is : th-cam.com/video/uUrA1a4eAoU/w-d-xo.html
When Chris asks, "Is it still a sports car?" What he means is, "Can i slide it around corners?" 😂😁
I agree the cabin is amazing it looks like a 930 interior with all modern tech
Bingo, big 930 vibes
09:11, proper statement for 911 at proper time
The steering wheel control at 10:30 is absolutely, absolutely impeccable. Just amazing to witness such smoothness and precision, especially on the way out of the slide.
Chris drives so smoothly and makes it look so effortless lol. I wish to be as good as him one day! :)
If you want to drive as good as chris keep your foot on the power coming out of corners! Dont be afraid and and let go to the brake!!! If you no what i mean!!!😎
The shifter looks like an electric razor plugged into a charger 4:21
This is an extremely solid observation. I can't stop seeing it.
Hey random person scrolling down the comments..
Have a wonderful day
Thanks...
Back at ya sugartits 😘
I'm actually a specific person. Can I get a good day too?
Why would people write comments, if no one's going to read them?
So I'll just keep scrolling, thanks.
Thanks, you too.
@@robertrodriguez8167 irritated Porsche owners.............SMH.... how do you ruin a perfect track day at the local raceway ? Porsche owners....................
These mini segments are 100 times better than the full show nowadays
When Mr.Harris is more interesting than the car he reviews
Yeah, I clicked to see Chris, not the car.
Kristóf Máthé Jesus loves you.
ahahahah good point!
Isn't he just always entertaining, knowledgeable and precise✔️
@Retro Collected old 911s or new 911s?
I own a 2016 3.8 N/A 991 GTS. I plan to keep it for sure after seeing the new 992! The car has become to digital! I dislike the gauges and the little baby shifter! The lower front end is so.... dull and boring looking. Especially for a 100k plus car! And the cup holders that you can find on any cheap ass car! I do like the rear end of the car. Except for the Cheap plastic rear engine vents! Like really!! But the best thing about this car is that Chris Harris is reviewing it. :)
Well... Just keep what you got then cos frankly this is the way forward for the 911 😅
I agree AC. Just keep it. It's a more emotional car and that NA sound is worth keeping for alone. Cheers :)
"Is it still a sports car" has to be the craziest question anyone has ever asked
He is a proper car reviewer. He makes all these other rich TH-camrs pale in comparison. He's a proper driver and shows how a supercar works and drives, he doesn't just go around a little showing off and changing gear randomly to make you hear the engine noise.
I agree because that is his profession. Now the rich folks on youtube is very good in their profession as well in making money. Money doesnt come free for losers .
8:21 _That--is the sound of plastic._
*Best four seconds* on the internets.
Vaff angool And plastic in such a crucial place is just CHEAP !
My favorite car reviewer in a new 911....all is right with the world.
A yellow Porsche, something about it grabs my heart strings. The 1985 film Commando with Arnold Schwarzenegger, yes ever since that beauty in the movie, I love Porsche.
WOW, same as me. been a fan since that scene. definitely my dream car ever.
I fall in love with Porsche when i saw Bad Boys ...
He really is THE best presenter of cars that has ever been.
Ok Mr. Harris. I have been watching lots of people video car reviews. I must say, you are one of the best, especially how you really express with emotion both the good and not so good finer points of the cars. Now, I love cars, especially sports cars and I’m a pretty good driver. Now that I’m in my 50s and my kids grown and almost out of the house and somewhat out f my pockets, I have some free time to enjoy my life. I’m actually to attend another exotic car drive event in Bridgewater, New Jersey in August. I did this last year when I turned 50 and drove my first Lamborghini Hurrican in bright yellow. I had to loud and bold. LOL. Anyway, the reason I’m righting you is after watching a number of your video, I want to know how can I do what you do? I expect you would need to have years of driving skills as you do , but I’m sure I could learn pretty quick. Plus I would greatly enjoy it. 😁. So, if you have any advice or can steer me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Be well. Cheers. Marcus
Chris is doing a Doug with this review
Not enough quirks and features.
Darnath Lysander totally lol
Except he actually does the cars justice by driving them and reviewing them properly.
( as in Chris Harris does, definately NOT Doug! ) .
Akash S agreed
Vice versa, I'd say...
More from Chris Harris ! I dont want to stop watching TG just coz our beloved 3 have left
Dam that 992 is a thing of engineering
thank you for amazing review!
So this is where you get inspiration Alan)
Nobody presented Top Gear better than Jeremy Clarkson. But the statement at 09:11 made Chris acceptable.
The timing tho 9:11
I'd really appreciate him reading me a bedtime story with his clean English accent.
Amazing car for sure but I think the rear lights make it look too much like a two door Panamera.
That's the point of that, porsche try to put same design language in the rear of all their cars.
Its butt ugly thats what it is!!!
@@ardijanuar2036 Sure, and if the only Porsche you care about is the 911, it makes it less special.
@@NeopolitianNPLTN sadly porsche itself didn't think the same way
These days that's not a bad thing. I think the new panamera looks fantastic.
Always enjoy a Chris Harris review. Really like the look and how the LED strip goes all the way across.
Unpopular opinion:
This generation 911 looks even more like a beetle.
Edit: i still love it tho!!!! Im torn 😂💛
From some angles it looks exactly like a Beetle
It definitely does. I don’t lust after one of these at all
@@g60cabby yes it does. Maybe i have to see one in person. I think its bc the rear wheels are too close to the doors.
Exactly like it should.
*Jeremy Clarkson wants to know your location.*
"Fans from a gaming PC", I'm in bits xD
For anyone who wants the song... it's "Le Pain (extended mix)" from Dan Brown - Chris also used it in the 512 TR video from THE DRIVE in 2013
Dan Brown - Le Pain (Extended Mix)
Best listened to through the Bang and Olufsen's in your 992.
Do you know where I can listen to it? I can't seem to find it anywhere online
*new 911 comes out* "they really messed it up this time"
*watches Chris Harris drive it* "wow I really love the new 911"
Even if he looks like he came fresh out of prison and directly hotwired a brand new Porsche. By far he‘s just the best out there! 👍👍👍
I don't know why, but this is the first 911 since the 993 model that I just would love to have. Awesome review as always by Chris!
Chris is the most hooliganic journalist ever!!🤘🤘😅😅 The king of power slides 🤞
Chris Harris: "Let's have a look around first...[checks door handle]...okay let's go for a drive."
Porsche is still making the best sports car in the world
Why 1K thumbs down? Chris Harris is the best car reviewer.Thumbs up!
daanroche probably people who cant afford a buss pas and who think that everything past the first generation 911 is garbage
@@usaexplore410 or maybe people wants to see more the car rather than Chris face ...
A brilliant car review as usual. I drive a 17 year old Boxster S & it’s great fun. But I still can’t imagine what it’s like to drive a new 911. It looks awesome, sounds awesome & the price is way beyond anything I could ever afford. 👍👍👍
Just ordered up my 992 T. thanks for the review.
2:29 ah those downshifts, gotta love em
Man I love Chris, been a follower for years and never dissapointed
This man is a leaving legend. He’s as great as the iconic cars he tests.
You’ve got the best job in the World. The Fiesta Flash 🤙🏼🍺
How is it possible the 911 keeps getting better looking? Amazing!
Excellent background music!!
Great reviews ,your personality abounds,thank you.
I like the new 911. I’ve always loved em as Turbo cars. So, I am glad they are all turbo now.
Chris Harris is a great car if you are and you just can’t stop watching once you tune in for two minutes you are a hug for the whole program that’s for sure he’s a legend in my books
He showing off the engine killed me. Well done Mr. Harris!
Couldnt he have used that gear shifter to trim his beard. Awesome vid as always Chris!
I just test drove the 992 carrera 4s. It is a amazing car. Everything is perfect.
Arre K Nah give me a 997 series II GT3rs 4.0 or a 930 anyday.
7:40 “and that will swallow more than you think just by looking at it” said every hopeful Tinder user.
Mr Harris is much better on the TopGear you tube vids,than the tv version I think
Chris drives the way an artist pains. It's like poetry
But Henry Catchpole is love 💙💖✨
Such a new and revolutionary design
That's the engine access??? Good God, no thank you!
Gonna have to invest in a hydraulic lift to allow for proper geeking out...
MrMountainHawk it’s been that way for the last few generations.
MrMountainHawk were u just born yesterday
@@joapps8135 my objective was to trigger a few souls.... Mission accomplished !!! 🤣🤣
@@MrMountainHawk your objective was trigger a few souls.. yeah sure I'd say that too if I was in your position lol
A grand tour advert for a top gear video, class 😂😂
I would love a Top Gear+ series where it's just Chris and Neil poking around and documenting all the cars you have on the show like this
That rear is vile 😕 it’s the 992 equivalent of the 996 headlights. For that alone I’d stick to the previous gen car.
It would be a sad day if the GT3 would gone turbocharged as well. 😥
The GT3 will be turbo charged. It has to be. They had to turbo charge to meet the fuel economy and emissions mandates.
Is that a deal breaker for you? Gonna cancel your deposit?
While he's heaping superlatives on this 992 Porsche, seems like he's bored driving it.
Aki It’s like when Dave Chappell tells a joke. He’s just too good at it. That’s what greatness looks like.
shoulda put it in sport plus for track driving, would have quickened up the shifts on the excellent new 8 speed PDK as well as allowed for more slip angle and decreased body roll. Can say from driving one on track, it's outstanding overall
In 2009 I was transitioning from my duty station in Hawaii to Germany. I desperately wanted to have a 911 in Germany, but there simply weren't any available in my price-range in Hawaii. So, I went with a Corvette (which was still great on the autobahn). Now, in 5 years I'm preparing to retire. 911 4S, here I come.
I've had my computer programmed to automatically give thumbs up on ANY car review by Chris Harris - no-one better
Okay. Now put this motor in the Cayman, Porsche ..
Hiluxtaco they did! just the 4 litre version
Day before new grand tour.. clever!
No more Grand Tour ☹️
Nobody can replace the trio... but this is a damn fine replacement
“Sorry what was my gt3 touring” lol what a shame. At least he got another one
This lag of the Gearbox/Shift Lever would drive me crazy. Thankfully I couldn't afford even a Golf.
Believe me a 3, 4 year old Golf with low miles on the clock and a manual transmission is around $12k. That's around $250 a month if you finance it. Easily achievable
How can I get over the move towards electric power-steering when I haven't yet encountered one that was as tactile and communicative as, say, the power-steering in an old Mk II Golf GTI? They're all "serviceable" and ok at pretending to give you an idea of what the front wheels are doing, but let's not kid ourselves and pretend they are *better* than hydraulic systems.
The steering is your main form of feedback in any car you drive and plays a huge role in how a car "feels". I can get behind the "get over it"-mantra in an everyday hatchback, a luxury cruiser or even a big sporty sedan like an Audi S6. But in a car like the 911 whose main reason for existing *is* the driving experience?
That handle WILL break down... You can count on that.😁
This trend of motorized everything with cheap motors is ridiculous.
jizagivid - Runs of the same actuator as the central locking, no motors.
@@nssherlock4547
Cool!
Alrighty then 😊
Harris is a legend, please give the show to him 100 %
I did an Review with new 911 Carerra S also on my channel. Here it is : th-cam.com/video/uUrA1a4eAoU/w-d-xo.html
This is great. It's always better when a previous model owner does a review.
