The new, 992-generation Porsche 911 GT3 is one of the best road-going Porsche's ever built. But is that enough to see off one of the most competent Lamborghini's in recent memory - the wild, 601bhp Huracán EVO RWD? Steve Sutcliffe drives both on some of the UK's best roads, and then to the limit on track, to celebrate two of the best supercars on sale.

The GT3 will always be in my heart.
Option of a manual can make all the difference in the world to some drivers.
ME TO !GT3 is still the better and focused car from this two !
Until you drive the evo
Gt3 just feels different. No way around it.
I feel the same about the Turbo S. I have a ‘24 M4 comp, but damnit if that Turbo S doesn’t still speak to me
A 992 GT3, a Huracan EVO RWD and a Steve Sutcliffe guarantees a smile on your face!
Steve summed it up perfectly at the end. It’s not all about the stopnwatch. It’s about emotion and feel and both cars are winners
and +$60K markup and 1 year wait hahahha
Both cars are perfect together in a garage 😍
That’s fine for a GT3 touring manual. Sorry, lap times matter!!
100% agree. Sad at the end of the video to think theses cars will just be around a limited time more. EV's will NEVER have the emotion of these.
@@KosmicHRTRacingTeam I agree. Lap times matter. And brands bringing a crew to make sure everything is perfect is BS. BECAUSE in the real world you just race. You don’t have a team to make sure everything is perfect.
Indeed. This test is not about who's winning or losing.
It is about appreciating two different cars and approaches with one common goal: the driving experience in a high revving normally aspirated engines.
Well done, Steve and the Auto Express crew!
...and the winner is...
Volkswagen :)
This test is about who's winning...Steve, because he gets to drive these cars ☺
Fully agree! Great presentation of two cars being on pair once it comes to emotion….driven both in the last couple of weeks and agree with 99% in this video👍
Am I dreaming? This is a for real test right? About to watch it. Just wanted to say thanks, before I do anything else.
It's our pleasure Keith! Hope you enjoy.
@@Autoexpress yea thanks for enduring the torture of this testing
These are like unicorns now .. normally aspirated, rear drive. Add in a manual (GT3 only ..) and you've got a car that'll be worth a mint in the future
If I was to start a TV show about cars, Steve would be my first call without doubt. Perfect presenter and seriously talented driver. This channel needs more videos out more often :)
That gt3 sounds amazing! I thought the V10 would blow the flat six away, but that 9000rpm hold its own. It sounds amazing!
Agree. Porsche GT3 astounding noise.
";-)
Agree, it hold its own. Via speaker they both sound superb. Irl the Lambo sound more raw n powerful thouh
The rwd evo is awesome, but if i have the money, i'll take a manual gt3 anytime. 😍
Two of the best sounding ICE power units ever! Not many in that league.
The Ferrari and lambo v12s currently. The 5.5 na flat plane in the vette zo6 will be in this league as well: but sad not much else. An honorable mention to the 5.0 v8 in the Lexus F cars
@@mvp1431 the v8 in the C8 Corvette z06 is not in this league of sound…
@@Peel5000 yes the new z06 will sound similar to ferrar 458 which is one of best sounding cars there is
“Sweetest things aren’t free” especially this pair.💸💸💸 great review again Steve
Well, I wasn't expecting to get a little teary eyed at the end.
Huracan is for influencers, GT3 is for car enthusiasts.
The sound of the Porsche is just incredible
You can easily tell the difference between V10 and 6cylinder boxer,,, The V10 is just simply amazing.
inline 6 ? This is not a BMW !
@@AndrasMihalyi im sorry boxer 🙂
Both are amazing
@@janneshildebrandt1 Totally agree
PROVEN Sutcliffe the first and only TRULY NON BIAS auto journalist - absolute breath of fresh air
It's unbiased, get back to school
@@crimsonpirate1710 in my experience, people who routinely plague the comment sections to rectify grammar tend to have a seriously misconstrued handle on priorities in life.
Or more likely, they don't have one.
This is TH-cam - I really don't give a s©®t
👍
Fully agree! Great presentation of two cars being on pair once it comes to emotion….driven both in the last couple of weeks and agree with 99% in this video👍
Have a 2015 GT3, never driven a Lambo. Way better than my 2016 GT-R.
Which of the two would you prefer?
Steve is in that top 1% of car reviewers...calm, measured and interesting to watch.
Love your reviews steve.
Living our dream drives and perfectly describing it
No video can ever bring across just how good and sonorous both these engines sound.
Steve!
Videos like this make me sad... we're only years away from seeing these cars disappear.
Thanks for the review.
Let's enjoy them while we can. Thanks for watching!
I'm tingling, your exuberance for both was so warming and beautifully done. Thanks
I like the sound of the GT3 more than the Hurracan and that kinda surprises me
Porsche's astounding noise.
";-)
We need Syntho fuel to keep this dream alive, i´m not gone to change my taste for good cars in this lifetime
Steve must be suffering insane back pain. He is carrying two dying giants in car media. Nothing against that though. More of Steve for us to enjoy
The GT3 will leave the EVO in the dust on the Nurbering track
Well yeah , its more track focused
Huracan Evo RWD would be my pick. Such a glorious sound from that V10 and looks fantastic. Really not a fan of the 992 looks or bulk. That said there really is no loser between these two.
There would a clear winner if you took them out on a timed lap, which the gt3 was „mainly“ intended to. Opinions vary and that‘s fine, for me it‘s driving precision over looks. That being said I like the GT3‘s thicc booty way more.
Luv the lambo but cant stand the visibility
I lean towards the Huracan too. My main issue is the cabin space and ergonomics which don't work for taller people. 911 cabins just offer such better comfort, practicality, and visibility than any Lambo or Ferrari I've been in.
Also, US GT3 sound better than this one without the particulate filter
@@The_Stanman Exactly. Not that it will concern me in the nearest future, but at 6'3 I would struggle to comfortably fit in the Huracan. 992 however, without any problem - I drove one and I still had like 2 maybe even 3 inches of headroom.
@@chrisj1612 exactly. Im 6'2'' have a 992 Carrera S and tons of headroom. Get even more without a sunroof.
Lamborghini, Ferrari even McLaren s, they all sent their technicians with the cars to the track, Porsche only sends the car and that's all that needs to be said. Let the car speak for itself
Call me crazy but I just think the GT3 looks better than the Huracan. The style is just so dated. So 40k savings and a better looking car whose value wont drop as quickly. No brainer for me.
Is the Lambo for me. Looks good, sounds good and drives good, what more can you ask for? The Porsche might be better on the track, but seriously how many people track their cars? A nice country drive on the weekend is enough for me.
"How many people track their cars"
Plenty of people who buy a GT3. That's why they buy it.
Both great cars but £45,000 less for the GT3. Would go for a GT3 Touring personally for a more 'daily driver' friendly car.
@@SinanTrance That depends on where you live. Places like Hong Kong and Singapore, no we don't have tracks here. You will have to take it to China or Malaysia. Most people don't bother.
@@Rascallucci That's a weird comment. Neither of those countries have a vast expanse of driving roads (especially Hong Kong) so owning a Huracan is silly too, especially as the more expensive vehicle. You'd be better off with a regular sedan, suv or hatch built for dense city living. If you have the wealth to buy one of these cars you probably have the wealth to track it.
@@SinanTrance That is not a weird comment at all. There are plenty of supercars in Hong Kong and Singapore. And it is not a matter of wealth, not many people would bother tracking the cars. That is just a fact.
@@Rascallucci These cars truly shine on twisty roads, or, for more safer applications, on a race track.
I had the chance, or should I say the honor of driving a 4wd hurican for about an hour on some very nice and smooth winding roads. I've never felt steering so sharp and immediate, and handling which inspired more confidence than I thought possible... it's hard to put into words. And that V10 screaming right behind you made it the most visceral and exhilarating vehicle I've ever driven. And it's not even close. I truly had no idea a level of performance like this actually existed short of formula 1 cars.
However it is extremely low and tight inside if I had to nitpick. And if I were choosing a supercar / exotic for daily driving (and you can daily drive this vehicle where I live in South Florida as the roads are smooth as silk without a pothole in the entire city) there are a number of other cars I would choose.
And yes I know this car wasn't designed to be a daily driver but it definitely can be depending where you're living.
Lamborghini was like "here's the car but you can't use the stopwatch and don't say that the gt3 is better".
better is subjective anyway
And, Steve, it must be said: KUDOS on your physical condition. You look young and vital and years younger than you did even back when I first started watching your reviews in the 650S era. Keep up the good work! :)
Brilliant review! Thanks so much for excellent production.
F’n legends!!
Both cars and Steve
2 beautiful amazing cars. These are literally my 2 favourite cars
Get this man a TV show already for Christ sake!! Great review as always Steve! 👍🏼
992 GT3 Manual. I don’t need to say anything more.
Porsche + mr. Sutcliffe = instant thumbs up!
Steve, 100% with you. Both cars are fabulous and it'd be almost criminal to say one is less enjoyable than the other. We'll definitely miss cars like these when they're gone!
Only reason I'm still subscribed to this channel is because of Steve's reviews. Great work as usual!
The lambo in white with that stripe 👌
Steve at his best. Legend 🙌
Man I wanted to see track times so bad.
I think we know why the lamborghini was not allowed to be timed. The porsche would win easily. Lambo, looks nice and sounds magnificent. But the Porsche is just all class.
Yeah, the GT3 is a few seconds quicker round most tracks than the AWD Evo. The RWD one might be quicker with the weight advantage but not by that much.
That V10 engine sound though 🤤
The Italians never want to bring the stopwatches out. Whether it’s the LAF or the Huracan.... PORSCHE would never care for obvious reasons. 😂
You do realize VW owns both Lamborghini and Porsche, which in turn is owned by Porsche SE?
@@donnie919evo I do and know a lot about the structure of VWAG. The true parent company... both brands are allowed to run independently quite significantly, it’s not as though VW is limiting one over another. What is your point that they are owned both by VWAG?
Brilliant Steve, as always! So it’s the GT3 for weekdays and the Evo for weekends…..😉
I think anyone who was born between 1965 - 1980 are a group that have had access to the largest assortment of many of the greatest sports cars. Anyone born in the late 90s+ would've missed so many greats... the gen IV Supra, RX7, trans am/Firebird WS6 ram Air, E39 M5, E46 M3, early 2000 EVO 8s/9s and STIs, Nissan 240 Silvia, escort cosworth, Fox body mustangs, MR2 Turbo, Audi B5 S4, skyline GTR, 03 SVT Cobra, BMW 850i, gen 1 NSX, Integra type R and of course the old boys 67 Shelby GT500, Chevelle's ss 454, Charger RT 426 Hemi (big$$$) Olds 442, hemicudas, Boss 302 etc etc. As well as everything up until today.
My 2001 Honda S2000 was absolutely fantastic. My current mk7 Golf R feels vague and uninspired in comparison. While still being a great and fast daily driver.
It will be such a sad day when cars like this are a thing of the past ... amazing video, amazing cars, what a pleasure!
I love this guy! "Car Enthusiast" doesn't even begin to describe him. He is doing exactly what he wants to do in life, and he probably thinks even more...
More content like this with Steve please 🙌🏾
The 911 punches well above its weight for being down on power and the weight being identical.
This was so beautiful I’m almost crying 😭
"it just does things for your soul"-Steve Sutcliffe on the GT3.Hahahaha. I've missed this man.
They sound so good together!
Not only a good car review but also a great poetry,,
Such a great review !! Thanks Steve !! You're a real car enthusiast
Malarkey, that GT3 would dominate that hurucan on any track.
The sharpest version of the GT3 is yet to come, and I can't wait for the GT3 RS to arrive (though that will still take some time). Absolutely stunning. There are videos of it testing at the Nürburgring
That fly on 8:13 was feeling the beautiful ride in the Porsche GT3 as well.
Glad you agreed they are both epic. Because they are .
Awesome video! Thank you Steve and the team…I just get so upset with the ending in this and similar videos when it said “…celebrate them before they disappear…”, because I will probably never get a chance to get behind the wheel of a car like that…
Lots of experience track days out there. I drove an Evo RWD yesterday - cost about £100 for 4 short laps. Well worth it, especially as I had a pro racng driver instructor. Being told to go faster when you are at astonishing speeds approaching a corner helps get the most out of the car!
The comparison that will make the most sense, that car against it's predecessor
I think the gt3 even sounds better. So it would be my choice especially as a manual
Truly a great video celebrating the last of a dying breed. Thank you.
As a huracan owner all I can say is that get a lambo and your life will change like you never imagined. Get a Porsche and everyone will forget about you the moment you drive away (That’s if you even get noticed). Your crush will reject you with a Porsche , but not with a lambo . TRUST ME
Steve.....great review....anybody know what watch he has on ?
this video is a great example of why wheel mounted paddles are better. Steve takes his hand of the wheel at least twice to grab the paddle. even race cars have wheel mounted paddles!
Stunner of a video, epic conclusion and well driven. We have learnt that comparisons to beautiful engineering is so pointless especially when these cars exude so much of passion. Thank you for great motoring journalism 🙏
Great video Mr Sutcliffe!
GT3 is timeless. The Lambo will just fade away into automotive history. Perfect example does anyone even care about a Gallardo anymore? Same will happen with this. Where the GT3 20 years from now people will go wow what a car that was.
Lambo has V10, you cant beat it
Brilliant that Lamborghini release a drivers focused variant that’s attracting Porsche GT buyers and with none of the usual porsche dealer/GT allocation games.
Today's winner car has the Naturally Aspirated engine
I'll be waiting for Lamborghini Huracan STO against the Porsche 911 GT3 RS maybe in a near future who knows. That should be a proper track day machines comparison.
Bought a Cayman 981 GTS years ago after seeing Steve review it, and have been a Porsche lover ever since. Keep up the fantastic work guys!
Great choice!
@@Autoexpress Went a similar route with a 981 Boxster GTS after Steve, Chris & Henry all loved the sheer driving pleasure of the car :)
Did the same. Saw his review of the Cayman 981 GTS in a manual vs the Jaguar F type which is also a great sounding car.
High quality review!
i dont think you can truly say which car is better. they’re both incredible
You don't click a GT3 "vs" Huracan Evo and watch to hear "there's no loser".
Like always, Steve The man!
Who else is here trying to decide which to buy!
Already decided and ordered, evo
i had a big smile on my face and a lot of excitement in my heart watching these two awsome cars side by side. cheers mate!
"Theres a lovely orange thing in the sky over there called the sun"
Steve is just the best in the business. There are other really talented presenters/journos but I'd pick Steve 7 days a week. 👍
Very rightly said at the end, we should enjoy it will we can
Had to click on this as soon as it popped up!
Hope you enjoyed the film. We certainly had fun making it!
@@Autoexpress brilliant film! Would be interesting to see the difference in times however. Hopefully in the future. Thanks again!
Would have appreciated some commentary on the Rear Wheel Steer systems. It seems to have really divided reviewers, and, if implemented poorly, it can really spoil an otherwise brilliant chassis (see: first-gen RWS on the AMG GTR that made a previously brilliant car suddenly quite spikey and unintuitive on the limit). I know the Huracan Evo has it, and I presume the 911 probably does as well (given that the last GT3RS had it, and such things tend to "trickle down" to the lower spec models of the next generation).
Also would have been nice to know the balance of each chassis (more understeer prone or oversteer prone, as well as under what circumstances). But, I truly am nitpicking. Steve did a flipping brilliant job as ever. Hats off to the production team as well!
I would love car reviewers to get deeper into technical aspects like that and then talk about how those things translate into the driving experience. I bet there is reviews like that but they are in germany :p
@@ihminen5692, haha, sounds quite Germanic indeed. Some of the old-school written reviews go into this level of detail. But, it's quite rare indeed to find it in TH-cam reviews.
RWS has been in GT3s since 2014 starting with 991.1. Porsche RWS has been tuned to perfection by now.
Evo RWD does not have RWS - AWD version does though.
Have you driven or owned a GTR? I have a GTR, Evo RWD, 997 GT2 and .2RS, and have had a 991 RS.... GTR is the most STABLE on the limit, higher speeds, etc... the chassis outshines them all so not sure why youre referring to the GTR as unintuitive and spikey? How do you come to that conclusion?
Its the mot confidence inspiring at higher speed limits out of anything i own or have owned ... my GTS edition 1 prior to GTR was way way more tail happy at the limit
Good to see Steve looking better. One of the best car presenters.
Steve, you're like fine wine mate, keep up the good work.
Wow, Steve, thanks for putting us in the seat of two amazing cars. fantastic, love it. top review.
One of the very best cars reviews I've ever seen, and I've seen them all.
Very best? The title promises something else. VS means versus- which means competing against each other. This did not happen in this video.
That's the trade-off: the 991.2 GT3 had more road suitability than the 992. More comfy ride, less road noise. And it only loses the 1% of front grip and feel to the metal bushing 992. It's why the value of 991.2 GT3 is still rock solid.
in California a slightly used evo rwd and gt3 are both around 300 grand.
Lambo, hands down
Track it with Pirelli Trofeo tires
Yessss! You sir, won the internet today 💪🏻
A ferrrari guy here !! But this new Huracan is one of the sexiest car out there !!!! 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤
Pity you couldn't test the STO against the GT3, that would have been interesting.
The gt3rs is more of an equal competitor to the sto. The gt3rs will come out soon, maybe some rich dude will lend out an sto to a car journalist, since they‘re allegedly limited.
I would jump over that Lamborghini to get to that Porsche but that’s just me! 😃 the end of this video brought a tear to my eye and I love the Lamborghini too 🥲
GT3🥰
The huracan has more supercar elements than the gt3 will ever have
