The howl of a Porsche flat 6 under hard acceleration is just glorious.
And good thing too because the sound it makes at idle is garbage
Fun fact: my dad was watching this episode back in 2003 and just when they were about to show off the Porsche, which my dad looked forward to, my mom went into labour with me and they had to rush the hospital, so my dad missed it...
Has he ever seen a repeat of it?
I was lucky enough to have a weekend in one of these. My Boss through me the keys to his Silver GT3 for my B'Day... Best Weekend I ever experienced! Such a fun car to drive....
so clean and slim. stil love the 996 GT3
I agree. The 996.2 GT3 is my favorite water cooled 911.
NineEleven1 : yes but shame the fried egg headlights
NineEleven1 the 996 is one of my favorite 911s in general
991.2 GT3 looks better
@Damar Fadlan owned everyone since hot pursuit 2
Without a doubt the finest sounding six-cylinder motor of all time. This includes the RB26 and Ford 3.0 V6.
you're quite right..but you have to think about Bmw M division's 6 cylinders too ;)
The Alfa Busso V6 is the best
Matt Lap true
Absolutely agree. 1JZ and 2JZ too
370z
the very first 996 GT3 mk1 is the coolest 911 of the last 20 years...
I love this 2004 911 GT3 it's a fantastic car and it's epic and it looks beautiful and radically cool and awesome with it's beautifully raw and raucous flat 6 engine!!!
One of my favourite sports cars ever from Germany!! Love Porsches!!
"oh sir look at our lovely new headlamps"
hahahaha!
Saw a newer model of the GT3 on the road the other day. They've gotten so much sexier. It actually had a look of ferocity to it that could finally hang with the Italian supercars.
I love my 2007 GT3
Shocking to know much the GT3 cost back then, compared to what it now. GT3 now at 40k would of been a bargain
Baz82 the engine cost 40k the GT3 at the time was 70k and a used one is climbing to 90k same price as a brand new midrange 911 4S.
Pronto, já decidi....
Quero um destes!
This is coming to Gran Turismo Sport. Can't wait to drive it.
I play gt4 more
"The GT3 is final and absolute proof that evolution works" You couldn't be more correct.
"you can put it where you want it and hold it in HUGGEE slides!!" giggidy xD
Carolina Elite Ventures underrated
porsche is the incarnation of a car for me.
it combines elegance, sport, beauty and tradition in one
My dad had one and it was INCREDIBLE! I can’t believe he sold it... :(
I love 911's and have a unlce with a SC taga. The GT3 was the best 911. But now its got a PDK gearbox, so its much more of a track day car for people who don't know how to drive.
So glad to see it FULL SCREEN!!
christdragon The Gt2 rs is better.
@FISHURMOMBALL True, but the GT3 RS and GT3 are quite different. The RS comes with a completely different aero package, greatly reduced weight, and I believe a few extra horsepower as well. This makes the car about as distinct from the GT3, as the GT2 is from the Turbo (although perhaps not QUITE that extreme.) And, as you sort-of pointed out, neither of them have received a test on the track, which is where those two in particular are said to shine above the rest of the 911 lineup.
That starting to the video is just amazing, in general this is an amazing car review.
i love their editing
personally, this is the best sounding 6 cylinder engine
The older aircooled have been even meaner, croackier, more sawing, predestine, more genuie. An old suction 993 and a valve exhaust is music. Listen to a BMW E46 M3 CSL, that is together with the Porsche my favorite
It's not my favourite, but is iconic. You could blind fold me and I could probably tell you it's a Porsche just by firing it up.
Nissan S20,Toyota JZ with ITB's also amazing
Ashraf Khalid Busso V6.
Ashraf Khalid and rb and 2jz but boxers are a whole different story
What's the music at the start called?! Please reply
2 years later but it sounds like a remix of Praise You by Fatboy Slim.
@mattblack77nz thats true, we are on the 997, but the key difference is the head lights. the 997 has circular head lights whereas the 996 had integrated turn signals on the headlight, that little extension on the insides of the the lens.
And it costs (drumroll) FOURTY GRAND! It's amazing, nowadays you can't even buy a 3 series BMW with that much money XD
+Ricardo Russo you could find solid condition 996's for ~15k+...can't even buy a civic for that much money
i was refferin more to the inflation in car prices in the last 10 years. nowadays it would be unimaginable to buy a 911 for 40k
+Ricardo Russo
He was talking about the engine. The engine costs 40k, not the car.
+Ricardo Russo Alot more technology goes into cars because people expect it now also the actual inflation over 10 years in general is quite significant.
If you want an 03 GT3 in good cindition nowadays, you could buy one for less than a brand new Vauxhall Astra or Ford Focus
@eins2001 not mid its rear. Mid is in front for the rear Axle centerline, Rear is will behind it.
@ottacracker They can mate, but the numberplate on the car shows 2003, so this is a old clip, if you watch it officially on the iPlayer the new full shows they will have the option of HD
song at the start?
terrible european club music. google it, its all actually one song
@Dryzaum The super stripped out version they tested didn't have air con but when you buy it from Porsche you get options. You can get navigation, air con, cd/dvd. The works.
2.47 "Sir look at her lovely headlamps" HAHAHAHAHA got to love the accent.
@ottacracker this video was taken years ago.the latest Top Gear episodes are in HD
My favorite GT3
@dalilrafi Same here.It was a big improvement changing the headlights and gives the car a more sporty look.
@jack390 Nope, all 911's except the 1998 911 GT1 which was mid engined, are all rear engined and rear wheel or 4wd. If the engine is in front of the rear axle, how can they fit a set of rear seats? How come when someone opens the rear hatch, I can still see the intake manifold and cylinder heads?
PORSCHEEEE ... not "Porsch"!!!
NThusiast right u r
Dude chill out it is accent
@Chris246t8kr That was what the original car was called. this cars model designition is actually the 996 GT3, but for the sake of tradition, its still called the 911 from the first one made in 1964
@iannGT2 i believe that the DeLorean had an engine that was mounted behind the rear axel, but you're right, there are few mainstream cars that are rear engine.
anyone know the song thats starts after 0:22?
I remember watching this episode a few years ago.
@EtO124 I think it's a repost of an old video back when the TV broadcasts weren't all in HD.
@Powertourg not at al, im sure id want some of those things during the summer, the simplicity of the car adds to it, makes it feel more badass
@masc927
it's an old clip, which wasn't filmed in HD.
@ottacracker they can, wait for the clip to be up for a bit
YOU LITERALLY HAVE THE SINGLE GREATEST JOB IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE.
@207053 It's all about saving weight.Ad this car is made for the track.If you want a car with all the stuff, but still gives out the same power it's the 911 turbo.This is not perfect for road driving but its perfect for the track.The 911 Turbo is Good at road driving and will still give you the times(close but not the same) you'll get from this.
996 shape is oddly beautiful
I used to hate the 996, but it has grown on me lately. Even the weird headlights.
Just Cade Same!
I'd get this rather than lets say a Pagani Huayra.
+Supercar Kid This is a car for people with personality! Good choice, sir!
Ovidiu Zakarias Thank you Ovidiu!!! :)
Especially the Zonda...as a Porsche fanboy, it hurts me to say it; but I'd rather have a Zonda S. I saw one 14 years ago, I haven't washed my eyes since.
Very much a practical decision. But if it were up to me, and I had the money I would go for the Pagani.
Supercar Kid Yes you can have this Porsche fanboy.
Just watched my top gear during lunch now time to go on gt5 on the top gear test track and drive some cars there, man im living the life.
1 of my favorite Hammond reviews, thx TopGear for the upload!
All Hammond's Porsche reviews are cool, coz he's biased.
Old videos are being uploaded so people who haven't previously seen these can watch them. Yeah we know their old but some of these episodes have entertainment value beyond just the reviews. Also if I'm not mistaken the crew just did review the new GT3 RS recently as par of their upcoming shows. They were in NY with a 458 and a white GT3 RS.
@mattblack77nz this is the old one mate. This a is an old clip. the 997 (this one) isnt for sell anymore.
@JL3Wind 2.9 is quite impressive although with that time achieved by reviewers I think that they would have called it closer to 3.2 or 3 flat for their 0-60. But I'm not in charge of that. I did mean the 928 because there was something said to the effect that if the engine isn't out back it’s not a Porsche. So I threw up the 928 and I believe the 944 was also a FR V8 Porsche. It may have less power but their also lighter than a Mustang 10 years notwithstanding.
@XcitedMungoMan2010 This car was made around 2003-2004. GT2 RS was not made yet I think. Plus did you realize that this was the 996 model. Not the 997 model.
I love the old looks of those Porsches.
The around 2000 year models.
From dict DOR org (see item 4):
1. One who spoils; a plunderer; a pillager; a robber; a
despoiler.
2. One who corrupts, mars, or renders useless.
3. (Aeronautics) A device attached to the wing of an airplane
or other airfoil, which breaks the smooth flow of air...
4. A device attached to a car to decrease lift and increase
traction, usually shaped as a flat surface and attached
above the rear of the car, and working on the same
principal as the aircraft spoiler[3].
This video is ANCIENT! Why in the hell are we watching a review on the 996? And why hasn't Top Gear ever done a review on the 997 GT3?
Beatiful and fast, my favorit GT3
@shaolindreams What about the 928? Front engine, rear wheel drive and a V8 wore the Porsche badge too...
@rojm The 997 GT3 first went on sale about four years ago.
What a car! I hope to own a 911 some day.
You got the 911? ;)
@i8246i Isn't the spoiler used to keep the car on the ground at high speeds?
Proud of having as my PC wallpaper still today. Just amazing.
whats the difference between the gt3 and gt2 (beside model and rear wing)
Porsche, a way to give back to humanity, Top Gear, a way to show it off better than anyone else.
Go to extrememusic.com (or search extreme music in Google), then go to the search bar and type in "Plastik Surgery" and it should come up.
i can't find it any url you could give please ?
just bought one of these bad boys the other day, im in love with it
How was the car?
*A stock exhaust GT3 996 sounds like a VACUUM CLEANER with a hamster stuck in it.*
It needs longtube equal-length headers and side muffler deletes at the very least in order to give it that flat-6 high-pitch wail transition in the upper RPMs that is characteristic of the newer GT3 cars.
Santa is going to drive this Porsche, he is going to stop and say "Man, this is yours" xD I wish that happen
@EgyptonBacon well im sure there is more clips thye aint put on their channel yet and anyway new top gear starts early January and a middle east special around christmas.
@ItsAllex i watch it on bbc america. its mostly re-runs though
@Riharchor its an old video, so no HD!
@12valvepower1
just the same 4 from GT4...
look at the latest Ruf porsche
the new CTR4 etc...
or the yellowbird as a premium car would have been great
i really like this headlight design...
but the new one is cool too
@eins2001 you had better hope so. And the word would be faster, and if I may cheaper as well, leaving room for suspension upgrades and still being cheaper. I still like Porsche though how they manage to wring out more power out of them boxter engines every year is impressive.
@rayj778 what are you talking about it not running smoothly it runs fine
@JETZcorp because a 911 is a 911, regardless of whatever additional numbers or letters it has attached.
Exotic material like titanium 😥
@MrCreepyCreeper Aren't we up to the 997 now? Or is that the RS?
@TheMrkemo but it offers better handling! its there for a reason
What's the tune at the beginning??
@ohanoune Yup. Its a 996 GT3
@jack390 Except the engine is behind the rear axle.
I love the examples he uses at the end.....
@VeryCoolMax Trailblazing by Steve Jablonsky
Whats the difference betweent his and the GT3 RS, GT2 and GT2RS?
"Best car I've driven all year" you just know Clarkson hated to admit that.As far as the evo and gtr comparisons go ,They may be fast but to think they are engineered anything like a Porsche or Ferrari throughout is just stupid.
anyone knows the song from the beging of the video?
Could anybody please tell me the name of the song vom 0:00 to 0:22 ? That would be awesome : )
What's the name of music since 0:23 ??
anyone know song at 2:40
does it come with wipers?
Best of all times
Wow, he said that this was better than Ferrari, can't believe. He always says Ferrari is better than any car...
@NasnasFilms No, it isn't stupid, because a rear-engined car provides a completely different driving experience, its not stupid, its different.
@rayj778 my friend has gt5 also. when he uses his g27 wheel and has clutch enabled he cant leave the pit.
@jeeper88
yes, because its so cold in holland :l
3:00 "We don't make compromises, We make Marines" great song any one know the name.
whats the song at the start of vid?? any1 knwos?
Seems to be a great car. Although it's bad that the car isn't waterproof so normally, when I'm driving in the river bed, the car fills up quite fast.
That was my favorite car since I was 5 years old. (16 Now).
