Agree. A fan of Freddie but can't stand Paddy. So hard to watch that show when 2 of the 3 don't really know what they're on about. Still persisting with the same format as Clarkson, May and Hammond just doesn't work either.
Need to fuck the other 2 off. I like them both in their own right but not as car journalists. Chris Harris is being cheapened by the stupid antics too. Let him be a nerd. He's the modern Tiff Nedell. Give him another charismatic co presenter (sabine was always the perfect candidate and I said it as soon as Chris came to Top Gear) stop trying to replicate the Clarkson Hammond and may dynamic and let things develop naturally.
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.
The other format brings more than just petrol heads. I have quite a few friends who aren't into cars and my 93 year old grandmother who found interest because of it. that kind of entertainment.
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.
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.
I replayed that part again whilst watching the video. The only part of the video I had to watch again. When I seen your comment I knew exactly what you were talking about
@UC0ei2fwTJAB9Gt6gD63Z8hw And this makes the prospect for high performance hybrids like the 918 so much brighter. Koenigsegg appears to be getting in on this game as well with their new Gemera.
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.
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!
If God existed, Adam would have had one of these and Eve would have had a red one to help them through the long boring days instead of throwing f*#king apples at each other 🤷🏼♂️
5:25 Decades ago a friend of mine said, "When you arise before the dawn, you own the day". It has stuck with me for many years. I don't know if it is a well known phrase or if he made it up. Anyway, I am up before the dawn almost every day and the feeling of being up and going early really does wonders for my mindset. If you are struggling with a busy mind, or feeling stressed and overwhelmed all the time, go to bed early, get up early and see what happens. Hopefully it will help you too.
Nice one John. I used to cycle years ago and left to ride just before dawn and felt brilliant when seeing the sun come up. You feel truly blessed. Simple things for simple people I suppose. Give me simple every day.
@@diavarezable call ME crazy, but I don't think we will ever really go FULLY electric, at least not in our lifetimes. Yes, standard commuter cars and daily-driver cars will likely be all electric in the relatively near future. However, due to there being such a massive and passionate following in motorsports and sports cars in general, manufacturers like Porsche or even Mazda who really care about the driving experience will never leave us behind. Even if emissions restrictions continue to get stricter, there are incredibly smart engineers (hopefully me one day😅) who will do everything they can to keep combustion engines around. And even if legislation dictates that cars must be electric, there would be such a massive protest to it, they would have no choice but to compromise. I don't think we have anything to worry about just yet.
@@Thebadbeaver9 I hope so as well. Personally I don’t get why anyone could complain if you have 99% of the population driving electric and a small population of the world who enjoy combustion engines.
I saw my notifications being bombarded with GT3 992 reviews. Guessed embargo has lifted but Chris’ was the review I wanted to see. Waited for this before watching the others.
Chris Harris on top of his game as usual. Btw, I love all three Porsche colors Miami blue-Mexico Blue-Riviera blue, and also that's why my RS6 is Riviera blue ☺
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.
Chris is the only person I’ve heard say it’s more comfortable than the last one, everyone else says it’s worse. Chris has an old one so I trust him over anyone else.
He only said its smoother at the beginning of the film. He does end up saying it's not a smooth car and of course it isn't. It's really nitpicky regardless. The 991.2 GT3 is really not that stiff from my experience. Compared to a Panamera it is but for a sports car its very comfy.
See I like paddy and Freddie as they are entertaining which top gear is, an entertainment show just with cars. We still get the nerdy car content from Chris but the jokes and banter is still there. Love it
@@L_J_D23 I agree, I loved Old top gear but the new top gear is really good now. I will really miss sabine not making appearances she always looked like she was having the most fun possible
I went back and watched some of the 2012-2015 era videos he did again. So much atmosphere in these videos compared the hyper edited stuff of Top gear. I miss that era but glad they are archived and free to watch still, and new stuff like this is still being made
It's a musical instrument. His command of the English language, and ability to use it to describe the car and what he is feeling, is world class. I enjoy the cars, but just hearing him describe them is "episterial".
not gonna lie got a little emotional. Been watching Chris Harris review the "new" GT3 since I was a teenager.. Great to see him back in his natural habitat. And with this world of electrification, this might very well be a thing of the past.
the old 991 GT3 video is such a masterpiece... the way the sound comes through in the video and the atmosphere of the whole trip is ingrained in my mind.
They’ll make a 992.2 but after that it’ll be 2026 maybe and Europe ban on new gasoline engines takes effect 2025 so legally they can’t make a new one best thing they can do is make another one with RWD electric assistant maybe add an extra 100 hp they would have to make the GT3RS even better if they did that tho. Just my thoughts but it’s very sad even Chris knows it’ll be one of the last
Chris Harris is easily the most watchable and charismatic car journalist on the planet. Enjoy all his (individual) reviews. I reckon a tv series "Chris Harris on Cars" would be a massive hit.
Spring rate is relative to the suspension design. Previous 911s used cheaper McPherson strut front end. The few benefits of that setup, beyond manufacturing/assembly costs, is, typically, more direct steering feel and a nearly 1:1 effect of the spring on the tire, AKA the spring rate at the wheel. Double wishbone offers dynamic camber gain (keeps tire contact patch stuck to the pavement), but loses the almost 1:1 spring rate to wheel rate factor, hence the stiffer spring rates chosen. Suspension nerds will commonly talk about the "motion ratio" of the springs when building aftermarket coilover setups. All that matters is the spring rate experienced by at the wheel.
You gotta love the 911's... Live the blue line on wheels... Every new model looks so similar to the older one, but yet so fresh and different... It's just kinda unexplainable ... It's magic! :P
Chris, You touch us with your emotional and reverent words that capture what other journalists miss. The SF90 video and this one are a perfect commentary on our times and what we may all be losing. Great video and thank you for what you do. The F40 is still the bad girl I wish I could bed, but the 911 GT3 (RS) is the wife I want to have for the rest of my life. Cheers!
CH doesn't hold back "wish it was a manual" this guy just gets to the point ... thank you, continue doing what u do Sir. DWS in the front, about time... force is strong with this one.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks they’re still technically working on ICE projects. Like the additive manufacturing systems making pistons and maybe, though probably not, blocks/crankshafts
Such a dream car. The NA engine, 9K rpm, the 911 heritage and vision, and the styling on this model are just fantastic. The focus on all the right stuff makes me want this car more than any other car regardless of price (except for the Gordon Murray T50).
Watched Henry Catchpole, Dan Prosser, Matt Farah... All great car journalists which I follow fondly. Yet.. none get close to Chris. This video is magical like many other of his. Moreso with the GT3. It's a combination made in heaven. It really moved me. I dream of someday driving any GT3.
You can rent time on a Porsche gt product. Though honestly, you really need seat time in a lot of other sports cars to really appreciate just how well put together and visceral they are. Why everything is so perfectly balanced. You need context. But if you have context... Spent the couple hundred whatever currencies. It's worth it.
@@lowstrife Thanks. Yea in my country there's nothing like that available. My context unfortunately is none in sports cars. So yea, got to go step by step
I get emotional when Chris is talking about, that i could be one of the last in its breed and soon to be replaced and dominated by electric. Im so glad i was born in the 80's and could experience what real cars should be like...
I believe we should just sit back and appreciate in silence this outstanding shot 13:45 made by Chris and included in the film by the editors. This is a gift to both racing and filming industry!
Chris Harris possibly the best motoring journalist of his generation and I could listen to him talking authoritatively about cars until they are all electric, after that I’d just want to go to the pub and listen to him reminisce about his days racing and driving fast well balanced cars 😎👍🏻
I've always been a fan of Porsche and especially this sweet thing BUT I've never been so passionate about it like how I am now after listening to Chris talk for 19 minutes. It really feels way more special to me.
Anyone else notice Chris a little emotional? Almost like he was full of joy and grateful for everything and wiped away a few tears of joy... Love this man!
I have a 2010 Panamera S and truly love this car. Previously, I owned a 2006 911S wich was great. But THIS car IMHO, is one of the all-time greatest 911. Yes, it is a dream car for me, although priceless. So, thanks Porsche and Chris for allowing me to vicariously live the dream for 19 minutes.
Chris just cracks me up when he gets into track focused Porsches. He’s like a little kid getting all giggly, lol. Eyes the size of dinner plates 👀, big a** smile on his face 😃, and his voice goes up an octave as he’s talking through each corner or describing the design of the parts and bits. Great stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
@@JoeIsOut2lunch Neil Carey, he’s the man behind all the camera work/production and editing. It was him who made all the Chris Harris on Cars stuff with Chris, which if you ask me is some of the best car content out there
Love the "reality" of this video. It retains the high quality cinematography, but I also almost feel like im there and able to share the excitement of running in the car, waking up at the crack of dawn, heading to the shoot etc.
its the fun side of the car it is Chris harris forte. but for detailed quirks and features there is doug. then for some mechanical features and alikes there is jason, then there is autocar and carfection for drama. waiting for watson for consumer review hahahaha
Chris, Henry and Iain Tyrrell. All really knowledgeable car people talking about and driving cars. Hopefully there will be enough of us who like this sort of content to encourage more of the same, and less of the other squeaky hyper excited rubbish the other lot produce...

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

Top Gear as it is was already long dead before the old guys left, and now it just feels like poking a corpse... Except for these Chris Harris bits! ❤️

When the OGs left Top Gear I said immediately he would be a perfect fit and it was because of Chris Harris on Cars.
I almost forgot it is a "Top Gear" as soon as the video started. It's a great feat that he was able to smuggle such content in here :-)
One of the best motor journalists in one of the best models of the best car manufacturer ^^

Is simple get out and vote them in with your money. Electric cars are about nothing else other than special interest.

And that's why he gets to do the run in.

Amen.
This is it- Chris doing what he wants.
Just probably not as often as we would like!
No point being on TV as hardly anyone would watch it.

Nah it sucks 😂
Thank you. Will try this
Totally agree, intake noise is better and it is only loud when you open the throttle so it's quiet on the motorway.
@Alpha Bravo he's the bloke that backs up the traffic for miles.
@Alpha Bravo Have you ever driven a fast car? Most open throttle is at 0-60 easily.
It wouldnt be quiet on the motorway.
@Alpha Bravo Maybe in Germany. Still a waste of this car though. It needs to be on the roads of the 1970s.
"When we're all electric, we're gonna miss this"
that one hurt a bit.
Well, the world hasn't got enough resources to replace every car for a battery powered one... Never gonna happen, so im curious 🤔
ICEs aren't going away any time soon, there would be riots in the streets.
Too bad oil wars won't let electric cars be the absolute future.
Hurt alot a bit lol.
@@J2I3H The thing is petrol is already being banned in the UK after 2030 and we don't know when the next countries will follow them.

Back to the legit Chris Harris geeking out on spring rates and double wishbone suspension. God it’s so much better than the scripted TV!
Took long enough!
I like having both.

You can tell how excited Chris was. He couldn't wait another day to drive the Porsche, even if it meant driving slowly and not sleeping.
In times like these, Porsche is one of the only few manufacturers left who still puts quality and heritage over overregulation and costcutting.

Such a dream car. The NA engine, 9K rpm, the 911 heritage and vision, and the styling on this model are just fantastic. The focus on all the right stuff makes me want this car more than any other car regardless of price (except for the Gordon Murray T50).
Watched Henry Catchpole, Dan Prosser, Matt Farah... All great car journalists which I follow fondly. Yet.. none get close to Chris.
This video is magical like many other of his. Moreso with the GT3. It's a combination made in heaven. It really moved me.
I dream of someday driving any GT3.
You can rent time on a Porsche gt product. Though honestly, you really need seat time in a lot of other sports cars to really appreciate just how well put together and visceral they are. Why everything is so perfectly balanced. You need context. But if you have context... Spent the couple hundred whatever currencies. It's worth it.
@@lowstrife Thanks. Yea in my country there's nothing like that available.
My context unfortunately is none in sports cars. So yea, got to go step by step
This is what car journalism should be all about. Great stuff Chris, answered all my questions about the 992 GT3 and more. What a machine!
What a beautiful piece of engineering. Every recent review of cars like this is bitter sweet. Because we know it’s almost the end.
Wow, that slow motion shot at the end combined with the music! Goosebump stuff
I get emotional when Chris is talking about, that i could be one of the last in its breed and soon to be replaced and dominated by electric. Im so glad i was born in the 80's and could experience what real cars should be like...
Uau. Beaut. I’m 80”. Thanks for words.
I don't think internal combustion gets a monopoly on 'real' cars, electrics are just gonna be different
1:19 paint imperfection by the Porsche emblem, somewhere Larry Kosilla is shaking his head at a computer screen
This is it. Pure car journalism. Man talking about car, no gimmicks just brilliant. Thank you Chris. Love this car already.
Chris getting melancholic about a new GT3. Almost brought a tear to my eye
I believe we should just sit back and appreciate in silence this outstanding shot 13:45 made by Chris and included in the film by the editors. This is a gift to both racing and filming industry!
Chris Harris possibly the best motoring journalist of his generation and I could listen to him talking authoritatively about cars until they are all electric, after that I’d just want to go to the pub and listen to him reminisce about his days racing and driving fast well balanced cars 😎👍🏻
Never clicked on a video so fast, Chris Harris in the new GT3, doesn't get any better than that..
I love how Chris forgot it's not a manual car (12:55)... It makes you understand how this car stilla has that "old style, carrera fun" feeling.
Olaa
I'm a huge Porsche-Fangirl so seeing Chris having fun with that beauty is like Christmas for me ^^
Or Hanukkah for me ;)
Or eid for me
Or Yom Kippur for me
One day I'll be the one having fun driving that piece of art ((:
@@caprise-music6722 Valhalla is heaven, not a celebration
Why am I getting all teary?! This review was just utter perfection from all the editing involved to Chris Harris’s pure passion.. Amazing!!!
I've always been a fan of Porsche and especially this sweet thing BUT I've never been so passionate about it like how I am now after listening to Chris talk for 19 minutes. It really feels way more special to me.
Chris & Neil proving they've still got it. Masters at their craft of getting us excited about cars. Oh ya, the 992 GT3 is pretty good too
Germany did it again with this master piece
This is the TH-cam car review as art. No one does it better than Harris and his crew. Outstanding job.
I can't wait to see Chris in the T.50. His genuine excitement is always fun to watch.
Anyone else notice Chris a little emotional? Almost like he was full of joy and grateful for everything and wiped away a few tears of joy... Love this man!
i couldnt sleep after driving 911 4s, so I can imagine what he feels :D
i do. I suppose, he mentioned that those are probably the last petrol engines before electric cars coming.. May be that's why he looked emotional.
@@greatwhiteshark7395 lol
I have a 2010 Panamera S and truly love this car. Previously, I owned a 2006 911S wich was great. But THIS car IMHO, is one of the all-time greatest 911. Yes, it is a dream car for me, although priceless. So, thanks Porsche and Chris for allowing me to vicariously live the dream for 19 minutes.
4:40 The fact that Chris himself actually acknowledged that he's better doing this sort of 'geeky' journalism is a gem 😂
best top gear production ever, letting Chris do and say what ever he want
Best Porsche commercial ever )))
Cheers to all of you, Porsche lovers !!!
One of the best motoring journalist reviewing one of the best street legal race car on road and track! Definitely worth the wait.
This makes me so happy. Love this over those over produced cross country antic filled bits
Chris just cracks me up when he gets into track focused Porsches. He’s like a little kid getting all giggly, lol. Eyes the size of dinner plates 👀, big a** smile on his face 😃, and his voice goes up an octave as he’s talking through each corner or describing the design of the parts and bits. Great stuff. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
This is the content we all want to see. This is the content Chris and Neil want to make. WE NEED MORE
Neil?
@@JoeIsOut2lunch Neil Carey, he’s the man behind all the camera work/production and editing. It was him who made all the Chris Harris on Cars stuff with Chris, which if you ask me is some of the best car content out there
Love the "reality" of this video. It retains the high quality cinematography, but I also almost feel like im there and able to share the excitement of running in the car, waking up at the crack of dawn, heading to the shoot etc.
I felt the exact same thing man. Fantastic
Literally the one and only automotive journalist who can do the slides for the camera, thank you for this masterpiece Chris, thank you Porsche!
The only GT3 Review that matters to us👌
Henry makes also some great reviews
@@salemchayata2738 Yea him and Henry. 👌
its the fun side of the car it is Chris harris forte. but for detailed quirks and features there is doug. then for some mechanical features and alikes there is jason, then there is autocar and carfection for drama. waiting for watson for consumer review hahahaha
Chris, Henry and Iain Tyrrell. All really knowledgeable car people talking about and driving cars. Hopefully there will be enough of us who like this sort of content to encourage more of the same, and less of the other squeaky hyper excited rubbish the other lot produce...
Chris & Henry 🤘🏼🍻
I’m a simple man...I see Chris Harris power sliding on a thumbnail and I click
Really makes your spine tingle when he goes into full passionate mode for how the car drives, awesome vid Chris and film crew.
Chris Harris seems like a magnificent and pure human and I am so happy he brings us videos like this. The car is great as well.
