Review: Chris Harris drives the new Porsche 911 GT3 | Top Gear

Petrolheads, assemble: it’s a new Porsche 911 GT3. Which is basically like saying ‘it’s a new Bowie album’ to the music nerds. This is benchmark sports car, the one by which the steering feel, chassis composure and engine response of every other supposed supercar on the market is measured against. The 992 GT3 gets a racecar engine, a ginormous wing and a rather special new knob. And this is what happens when Chris Harris is tasked with running that glorious 4.0-litre flat-six engine in, just so he can open the taps and spank it around a track.

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

[idknils]

this man single handedly keeps the show alive. He is the only one with original lines

[daxair]

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.

So glad they went back to the Chris + Neil format for this one. On the internet it works so much better than the 'jazz hat' studio stuff.

Big props to Top Gear for making a 19-minute CH video and putting it on YouTube.

The gear shift up shift mid drift while counter steering was an epic Chris Harris moment. 13:50

This felt very Chris Harris On Cars... excellent.

[saarangsingh]

Chris Harris presenting a love letter to Porsche's GT department. May we have cars like this as long as we possibly can.

[evoermine]

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.

[Robbilang]

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.

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.

Harris: When we’re all electric, we’re gonna miss this.

Porsche: Joke’s on you, we’re developing eFuels.

[MrrM]

Finally a real chris harris review. No stupid jokes, no dumb music drops. Just the best car nerd around and neil master behind the lense

[TheGuthan]

"When we're all electric, we're gonna miss this"
that one hurt a bit.

[secondstage]

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!

[guinnessharvey]

Just give this dude his win show. And let him do exactly what he wants to do. No gimmicks. Just Harris on Cars

[TheBroodje]

There are two things we never want to change, the GT3 and Chris Harris ...

[mattfreeman]

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.

[gerardselby]

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!

[jtthebrick]

“I’m going to miss these things when they don’t make them anymore”

Such brilliant journalism. This man makes you feel and we don’t deserve him.
