He has always loved a 911, but Richard Hammond hasn’t managed to get behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 992 yet. So he’s gone straight to the deep end with a new GT3!

Watch Richard Hammond's Workshop in the UK: bit.ly/Hammond-H7-YT
g`day great video ..... the link to the smallest cog dose not work (page not found)..been waiting for the new series to come back i have been looking forward to it can you please fix the link cheers
I love this car
if you do what you love, all will work out fine.its about fun.
When will the US be allowed to watch?
Does not work in the USA. Very sad.
Richard should do more road tests like this!
I reckon he should find 2 like minded individuals & they should make a program together about cars…
You’ve never seen top gear or the grand tour?🫢
That would make a great show@@JonathanSmith87
@@JonathanSmith87Clarkson is retiring from it after 34 years
let them retire from the grandtour, these frankly low effort (for them) but mindful reviews/insights from them are welcome any day of the week
can we just take a moment to appreciate how great this man is at this job
And he probably did it all in one take. On a sunday afternoon. It just comes natural to him
bro
Yes! Indeed.
except for the um, few crashes, he is great.
you forget dont you, then you see this masterclass and remember.
I didn't realize how much I miss the 'old' style of their car reviews, like in Top Gear or the Grand Tour, but after watching this, I want it back asap..... Thank you Richard Hammond for being so great at what you do
Yea I miss the car reviews
This guy just casually strolls in and reminds everyone on youtube he's one of the OG car reviewers and entertainers that also happens to be one of the three of the greatest of all time. What an enjoyable watch. Thank you
Chris Harris is top 3 soo

Folks, we need to like, comment, and share this video to let Richard, Jeremy and James know we still love their car reviews…their presentation styles have yet to be outmatched!
Share away 🙌🏻
100%
I don't disagree; but I will say that Jason Cammisa at Hagerty, and Thomas Holland and James Engelsman at Throttle House definitely come close.
@@mrflippantsecond that
It's too late, jeremy said he's done with car reviews and the grand tour is coming to an end in 2024
Hammond's experience alone is more valuable than any other car youtuber and makes this video more enjoyable than rest. You guys are the best!
The thing is that a lot of cr TH-camrs would actually agree
No argument. But keep this in perspective, he has a crew of people backing him up on these things. His experience would be diminished if he only had a cell phone and a tripod alone. I can say from my own experience, that just does not fly in the professional world. lol.
Not a patch on Henry C and Harry M...
Yep
Don't forget Chris harris
An unexpected gem of a car review, so many youtubers make 30 min videos you want to skip every minute of, but this is effortless, pure brillancy.
So true! Never thought about it this way but top gear was never about practical road tests just how the car makes them feel in 10 minutes or less
Was just thinking that. The way he describes things is almost like telling a story. Just the right amount of drama, attention to detail, and emotion. He keeps me invested and I don't want to skip, certainly a master or his craft.
true
Please get Jeremy, James and Richard to do car testing like this! I miss their beautifully worded reviews!
They probably didnt even HAVE a stcript!
There is a reason they don't...
If James May turned up out of no where in a BMW M2 and Jeremy in a Mercedes AMG Roadster, I would have died
Would have been epic , like WW2 Spitfire pilots coming alongside, wing to wing , before getting up to antics .
that would have broken the internet
Take my money.
Oh I miss those days!
That would have been epic. Haha
Can we have The Hamster back doing regular car reviews, seeing this reminds me what we have been missing all this time. The production is also second to none. Fantastic
Don’t know how but I completely forgot they used to call him that 😂
He's not actually a hamster, you know.
When they were on Top Gear they used to do not just specials(like they do now) but car reviews, and I loved all of it, now its only specials and it kind of has lost its spark, i still love watching it, but not to the same level.
Regular Car Reviews has the whole regular car review market cornered I think.
Children, this is what it was like for 14 odd weeks a year in around 2010 one day a week on that old fashioned thing called a television. It went almost an hour and you either watched it live or you tried to find a dodgy version on dailymotion. It was bliss, it mattered. I loved it. Thanks for this it takes me back.
This man is a storyteller of cars. It’s amazing to listen to him talking about his passion.
Hamsters and Porsches are a timeless combination
but a potentially dangerous one especially since they own rimac
And crashing
Yep, Hamster is a beetle lover 😂
We all love the specials obviously, but I really miss seeing all three of them doing these reviews and segments with cars. They are so natural with these! I want more of this!
It was great putting this together for all of you 😊
yeah I really miss having a sort of status quo with the different reoccurring segments
It’s like Richard is back in TopGear mode and never skipped a beat 👏 Richard + 911 = Passion in review ❤🇿🇦
This video served up a great big heap of nostalgia seeing Hammond behind the wheel of a GT3. Whether this is the beginning of more things like this to come, or if this is just an occasional one-off sort of thing, thanks Drivetribe, for giving us a little reminder of why we fell in love with Clarkson, Hammond and May to begin with. Great to have you back, Richard 👏
I just miss having Jeremy calling the 911 a glorified Beetle.
Not me. Jeremy just likes loud cars. All 911 tests should be done by Hammond, who’s a real Porsche connoisseur. Porsche makes precision machines and it needs someone who’s passionate about them to capture the whole spirit of their cars.
@@TJSawirony is that Hammond was the one who loved loud American cars 😂
yes but we need Jeremy calling them a beetle@@TJSaw
Yeeees, but it's still a flattened beetle.
Now, moving on, we must test a car that IS a fresh design; an exercise in modern thinking. A car, that isn't a car at all...
Hammond's story about his first 911 was something to remember, not many reviewers have this touch still, please do more for us Richard
I feel like I've heard somewhere that it was one of the reasons he got the job at top gear, they could tell he was a proper petrol head when he showed up in that
Porsche gained my respect for listening to its customers. Things like keeping hydraulic steering longer then anyone else, maintaining the use of another part im forgetting, adding the manual transmission, etc. Soon electric cars will be here where you just get in and they drive themselves or you might possibly opperate 1 pedal. Were telling manufacturers "yea im fine with being irrelevant". I like maintaining the engagement now more then ever.
These have electronic steering.
Welcome back Hammo!!! You rolled back the years there. And in an instant I forgot about every other car journalist I follow on TH-cam. You still are and always will be one of the three greatest ever. Please do more of these.
Takes me back to the old Top Gear days, especially the episode where Clarkson and May jokingly gave him those GT3 oven mitts.
And the pizzas covering his vegetables…for safety.
@@BurritoBow1fireproof material!
Thank you Richard, for justifying myself - a dad with two kids, doing the sensible thing and start looking at 911s for my next "family car".
Porsche "Calimero" coming to the rescue 😂
The perfect family car!!
Taycan sport turismo❤ although imagine a 911 sport tursimo😂
@@Broodjemetbeleg I have a manual 957 Cayenne GTS so I can't complain much 🙃. But yea the sport Turismo is on my radar, only if they didn't put the starter motor in the transmission making it almost impossible to diy service 🥲
1:38 "far from a regular new car road tester these days" exactly, because you're a legend sir. ..man, I wish we could have one more year of the classic trio reviewing new cars!
That was fantastic! Felt like old times... Richard Hammond, you are a wonderful storyteller in the automotive world and we need more of it!
Reminds me of Hammond when he drove the green GT3 RS while searching for the best driving road in the world with Clarkson and May. I remember that episode was in 2008!
Wow, this is what I've been missing! Brilliant review, Mr. Hammond! Absolutely talented! Very few people can take you on a journey when reviewing a car. You made it look easy!
This just brought back 15 years of joy. Hammond, May, Clarkson were the pioneers of adding emotion to car reviews and drawing you into feel like you are sat next to them in the car. Nothing like them before and sadly nothing like them after
This feels right. Hammond, Clarkson, and May literally helped me get through horrible times and showed me that cars are one of my true passions. Great stuff Richard
Episodes like this just make me cry - both in happiness to see Richard again doing TopGear esq reviews and with sadness that both Richard and TopGear are no longer doing enough to capture our hearts n minds in car videos
Lots more to come in 2024 on our channel 😊
YESSSSSSSSS CAN'T WAIT!!! Part of our childhood is getting to be relived again @@Drivetribe
I've missed the road tests from Clarkson, Hammond, and May since they've, well, ebbed into retirement from car presenting. This was a pleasant surprise.
This is what car videos should be about! Well done Richard, and thank you for entertaining us for all these years.
STILL.
The best car reviewer ever exist.
How he explain the cars.
So simple, yet informative.
I know Hammond is small but the way he looks sat inside the GTS just highlights how ridiculously big cars have gotten.
Yeah, i was surprised at that.
When he started trashing the car i thought to myself: "wow, Porsche approved this?"
And when i saw that the video was almost done, i wondered what the catch was, as there wasn't enough time to review the GTS.
Then he said that it was his, and yeah seeing how his head just about cleared the door, and it driving off shaped like a turtle, i couldn't help but think: "Yours. for a month or two."
I don't picture this to become his daily, and considering he lives in the UK, chances that the top stays down are small, and he doesn't look extra cool in this specific one, so i think the enjoyment will fade rather quickly.
That is not to say that it doesn't drive well, but i think he shoulv'e gone for the GT3 instead, especially not in that dull grey.
You generally sit low in a 911, even tall people have only their heads showing out the window.
@@Games_and_Music This man knows more about Richard's tastes than he does himself...
@@totolasti Hah, well i'm just guessing of course :P
even regular cars seem to have gotten bigger and more so wider
As someone who used to work at a Porsche dealer, you really can't make a wrong choice when it comes to a 911.
Your don't really have a choice at a porshe dealership
Unless we're talking about the configurator. No wonder every owner is middle-aged, they couldn't finish their config in time before turning 50.
@@anonymouswhite352 You absolutely do.
@@michalsvihla1403Im 39. 🤣
@@maxfrederick7703 Poor man. You were 39 when you entered that dealership 11 years ago, remember?
This is a man at peace with himself and content with his life with no regrets. Happy for you, Hamster!
Those DRIVETRIBE productions are on a level with TopGear and Grand Tour with WAY more budget... incredible!
Man. What an awesome road test! This has so much class. And the ending is pure gold.
Bravo.
The nostalgia in this video is through the roof! Please do more car reviews. Old, new, doesnt matter!
Natural talent doesnt fade. He 100% still got it. Please give us more of this!!!
I miss Hammond. What a legend!!!!! ❤
The point about manual gearbox being old-fashioned is kinda true... But I have a counter-question: IF in a few years manual steering will be obsolete, because car will be able to do it for Itself, how would you react to that? At this point any sports car is pointles, because it is just a tool for being driven in, and everyone is a passenger, like in train.
For many people manual gearbox is integral part of sports car experience, and it should be an option.
100%. A manual gearbox makes you more in touch with the car. It has also been statistically proven that manual drivers get in less accidents.
@@carlospacheco8640 Interesting, but it makes sense - you're more involved in the process, less space for doing other thing then driving.
@@deXXXXter2 Exactly lol. My wife knows not to call me when I'm driving. I drive a 5-spd 2007 VW Rabbit 5-cylinder, so no in car phone capabilities for me. Just shifting those gears with that pure 5-pot sound is all I need.
@@carlospacheco8640 Nice one. I have 97' Opel Astra (xD) and 03' Mazda MX-5, but I have phone handle and put my calls on the loudspeaker... Not that I answer most of them :D
I agree 100%. I have a 992 GT3 and the manual was the only option for me. Obviously the PDK is faster, but the manual is so much more fun to drive.
Not to mention the GT3 has one of the best manual transmissions ever made. It is so precise feeling, very similar to a bolt-action rifle like so many people have said before.
What a car review, probably the best way to do it. A beautiful and simple storytelling with soul. You took us through a journey in 8 mins and humbled us at the end, I wanted it to keep going.
Missed you hammy! Where have you been lately!?
I do hope we see more of James, Richard and Jeremy on clips like this for drivetribe. Now that the Grand Tour has come to an end. These three are all so engaging with their audiences. Thank you all for everything.
Still up there with the best Richard.. Simple.. Straight forward and a joy to watch.. With a background of the best combo of TG presenters ever.
Hammond strikes the right balance between factual information and comic relief in his car reviews. He should do more of these reviews. It’s like the old Top Gear never went away! ❤
I'd love to see Richard, James and Jeremy (if it's possible) do more tests like these. I miss them so much. Not everything has to be a special for us to enjoy them!
Man i missed watching these "top gear" type of reviews with the trio. Used to watch em on my day off and it's always been an awesome time.
Great to Hammond in a Porsche again. That GTS is perfect. Grey and black.
Absolutely loved every second of it. Nothing is more captivating than Richard, James or Jeremy talking you through them experiencing the car.
Man, this reminds me of Richard's review on the 996 GT3 RS on TopGear. Richard is is GREAT. An all time great of car reviews. Thanks a lot, guys.
This were you see why Top Gear was such a great success. The three characters were incredible in their job.
The old guards are still undefeated in doing what they do.
This video spoke to my soul. Brought back the times of old school Top Gear and I loved every second of it. I miss when reviews made me feel like this about cars. Now they're just "oh it has this much power" "it goes this fast in a straight line" "it comes in these colors" "electric cars are better" "buy the expensive one" etc etc etc... This was real. Thank you
Absolutely wonderful review. I've dearly missed seeing these sort of reviews from the trio. Thank you, Hammond!
Please, more of these!!! Please also get Jezza and May to contribute again!!! We miss all of you guys, including your knowledge, experience, humor, and passion! Please, just more!!!
These guys weren't just the best as a trio but individually they are amazing presenters in the own right😊
Man…. Growing up on top gear the joy, relief and love I feel just watching Richard test a new car again is really quite emotional.
I missed this. I miss top gear. Please @drivetribe. Do more of this!
Oh Richard! I love watching your shows! You are absolutely hilarious and make everything you're talking about exciting! Glad you had fun driving that amazing machine!
Fantastic video. I would love to see more road tests by Richard in the future
Production was second to none. Well done the entire team
This is what Top Gear should be again. I know it’s more or less done. I just wish we could get the three of them reviewing cars again. The way they have with words, with proper editing, is a masterpiece.
Excellent blend of comedy and information. makes me miss TGT as a regular car show and not just once a year. I would love to watch the old trio do this more often
I love hammaond car reviews. Its what I looked forward to on top gear back in the day
Thank you DriveTribe for keeping these "old Top Gear" style videos alive! Now that GT is over, hopefully you can borrow the trio for more of these road tests in the future?
Really enjoyed that. I miss Richard doing proper road tests! Still one of the best in the game.
As entertaining as the Grand Tour adventures are. The car reviews from Hammond, May and Clarkson are the segments I really miss. Hope they do more in this channel.
Keep doin' whatcha doin', Hamster - we can't get enough of your unique car reviews - the best!!
The production quality is great in this clip. Feels like TopGear is back!
We need more of these. Maybe with these I won't miss Top Gear and Grand Tour as much.
Yes please more road tests from Hammond please, and I'd love to see some from Clarkson and May
It's great to see Richard do what he does best every now and again...and he's right, it is a race format road car... everything Porsche learned from Le Man's and especially the 917 went into their road cars...
There will be no one ! No one better than them at this kind of stuff ! Never ever ! Apreciate the fact that we lived in the same era with them and we had the enormous pleasure to watch them
we need to get the trio doing car reviews on this channel!!
More road tests please! Richard is amazing!
Richard Hammond is hands down my favorite automotive journalist. He's one of the reasons I've gravitated toward Porsche. Please do more content like this!
There are many great car testers out there, but Richard Hammond is the man with the man with the words to make you feel like you're there yourself
More of this content please! The 3 amigos doing car reviews
There are only a few people who can so brilliantly describe the stream of emotions that will get under your skin while driving this gem of speed and beauty.
We want to see more of this!!!
The Ham in a beetle again.............
Watching this gives me chills. Richard Hammond driving one of his favorite cars sharing his passion. PLEASE WE NEED MORE OF THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Truly appreciate the endings, it's so natural and harmony
Maybe i am just too used to manuals, but every single time i get in a car with an automatic gearbox, no matter how modern, lightning fast, smooth and compliant it is, i feel like i am losing part of the control over the car. It doesn't matter how many clutches it has, doesn't matter if it has torque convertor or not, the feel for the car simply is NEVER entirely complete w/o a proper manual gearbox.
The narrative we hear on repeat. I have both a modern 911 GTS with a dual clutch and a 1988 911 with a G50 manual -fully analog. (No idea what a “proper manual” is -It’s either a manual or it’s not). You have infinitely more control over the dual clutch car and the resulting performance improvement isn’t even in the same league when in the same exact manual car. Same reason modern transmission technology is in every major racing series and manuals are gone. Driving a manual is fun, but as Hammond alludes, leave the old technology to that genre when you’re spec’ing a modern sports car.
@@gabeah well every modern sports car in the future will be automatic and electric it is the manual one we look back to and thought: "whatever happen to that?" People have the extra capital and time to have a extra classic car, but what if you don't? Would a brand new car with a manual hurt anything?
Please!!! More Reviews like this!! We love them, make us nostalgic and is so enjoyable ❤
The OG of car reviews. The trio of Clarkson Hammond and May, will never be rivalled. You could easily watch these all day every day. Just class 👌
"you're not driving it for them, it's for you"
Such a simple yet powerful quote.
Nobody talks about Porsches like this man!! Could listen to him talk about them all day
Richard should do more of these. Id love them. Just car reviews like this
No need for any thing else really
This is great
Hammond is such a gem of automotive enthusiasm
The closing statement here is out of this world, like absolutely nailed it.
The best review in ages. No facts, numbers or data. Just depiction of emotions. Lovely.
This is the template for car reviews. And it never gets old. It's amazing how comfortable it feels watching this video.
I haven't enjoyed a car video in two years, like this one! We need to see you more, Richard!
Richard is so passionate about 911 it makes you fall in love with the car and its history
This was great. Felt like old TG, these guys have something all those new car personalities don't, even though I enjoy a number of them. This is also the best car since the 458 came out in my opinion.
Richard's word play is always a thing of beauty. Mixed with his love for cars, it's just a wonderful experience for all petrol heads. Thank you once again
I love that Richard Hammond is still hypnotized by the 911.
There’s people who can talk about cars and then there’s Richard Hammond talking about a car… I love hearing the passionate descriptions.
Glad to see a test drive with one of the three legends! Proper stuff! Cheers to more!
That’s the best thing Richard Hammond has done on ‘TV’ for years!!! Come on Hammond we need you back reviewing motors - you’re a master at it!!!!!
