Our new £110,000 supercars! | Porsche 911 GT3 vs Mercedes AMG GTR | Supercar Driver 

Thanks to JBR Capital for supporting this video! Which GT would you drive home? 👇

The AMG GTR is completely underrated and Mercedes won’t make another like it. New one is front engine instead of front mid. No rear transaxle, weight balance isn’t anymore 47-53 but the reverse. No dry sump. 9 speed instead of the 7. Rip to the legend Gen 1.

I've done 21K miles in my GT R and loved every minute of them. Full of character and event, what a weekend toy and track day car should be all about.

AMG GTR. The only car I'd probably forsake a 911 for. So sick.

The best way to describe the amg gt r is brutal. You will literally feel everything. A drive to the local store will make feel like you were in a f1 race

I was lucky enough to run into the lads whilst they were filming this one and when Jonty offered me a quick ride in the Merc I jumped at the opportunity. Mega bit of kit! Sadly my Focus ST isn't eligible for SCD membership but perhaps one day I'll have a suitable motor. Incredible stretch of road too!!

Amg Gtr is a brute Gt3 is beauty👍🖖

Congrats on the new cars, that GT3 spec is a rare find

The AMG GTR is fast, but the 991.1 GT3 I love

I have a 991.2 GT3 and just sold my SF90 spider so I can go back to an AMG GTR (I sold my green one a few years back). I’ll have the same as you lads in a few months. The AMG is all about theatre btw, especially in the Matt green. Had so many strangers chat about that car to me. Shame about the visibility though, not as good as the GT3 and way harder around a city. Double shame I’m in Sydney and not in Europe, love to drive some of those roads with you guys!!

Lovely video, as always! Congrats on both new cars! 😎 I prefer the "old" proportions and interior of this AMG GT generation over the new one...and I obviously love that this GT R is A LOT lighter than the new gen. Not a lot to say about the GT3. Even as a manual fanboy, that thing is epic.

I couldn’t think of two better cars for the task at hand! Fantastic choices fellas. Also, perfect specs with the CC’s & comfort seats. Looking forward to seeing more content with the GT3 & GTR leading the pack 💨 Let me know if you plan to be out in the South of France next summer. I’d love to join. Harrison

I purchased my GTR on the way to getting my GT3. It put me back a couple of years, but I just couldn't not get the GTR, it was just that good. Well I finally picked up my GT3 .2 manual to compliment and finalize the journey. I couldn't agree more with your observations and am extremely blessed to have both in my stable! I've finally scratched the itch!

🙋‍♂️ Yeah I’m one of those guys who asked Matt why you didn’t have a Supercar! 😂 Great choice guys!

One of the best shot videos. Loved every bit of it. 🎉

Amazing episode, congratulations, just placing this reminder to myself that I will work towards having a chance to be part of one of your events during next three years :)

Mega!! You guys really deserve it. So great watching the club grow over the years!

These two are just perfectly matched beauties. GT3 bit more sharp, more focused GTR more brutal but by no means unsophisticated. I think on numerous tracks the GTR is actually quicker, GT3 more engaging more motorsport, but a perfect match up.

Another great video guys, thank you. Which roads were you driving? Great scenery and footage

The criticism was grounded on that 3.8's catastrophic failures, and next year (2024) the 10-year warranty on the engine (though replaced) will be over. It's not fair to talk about the 991.1 GT3 without mentioning that "issue". BTW I own a GT Porsche so I'm far from being a hater. Cheers from Italy

Great video. Job well done chaps. Two takeaways from this for me..I want a GT3 and I need to get back on those Welsh roads asap.

Nice video. Cool to see James Bond himself (Daniel Craig) driving the GTR!

I love both👌i also have the gt3 for almost 2 years with PCCB and comfort seats, awesome car 😊

Congratulations, 2 epic leaders 🎉

Excellent choice had exact same spec in sapphire blue colour myself but swopped in the end for the holy grail 991 GT3 RS in lava orange..well in my world

You say 'they're both winners', but you were far more complimentary of the GT3

Having owned at least 1 gt pcar in the stable for the past 15 years, i just sold my 991gt3rs in uv and on the hunt for a amg gtr to switch it up, i hope i dont regret it

How much does an extended warranty on the GT3 cost? A bit worried about the engine myself but do really want to pick one up in 2024

Really great choices.

Absolutely stunning I love the 991.1 in gt3 and turbo s .1 generations for the win 😜

Interesting video chaps. I'm currently working on a shortlist of 991 turbo, AMG GTR and MC20 to replace my wonderful and already missed Ferrari FF. Nice to see a decent AMG comparison and it's maybe helping me to lean that way, especially as values have been hit a little and £90-95k will get a similar car to yours with ceramics etc.

congraz guys and awesome cars; I do have to make two mentions, as an enthusiast driver and as a person who drove for one week(almost) in the Alps(and who will go back in late spring '24 for another week of driving). One(the first), even at 5 or 6 in the morning.. or a 7 or 8 in the evening, almost no pass can be driven on hard enough and fast enough in order for a sports car to require carbon ceramic brakes; 2ndly, by the same lane of thinking, alpine passes in.. , well, the Alps, are for enjoyment and not for the last 0.1 around a particular corner or the other so, that argument fails rapidly and the engagement and involvement argument picks up the pace when we talk about a manual gt3. Sure, maybe the dsg only gen. 1 was the obvious choice as it is the less regarded one from the bunch and, thus, slightly cheaper(as "cheap" as a 100k car can be) but, for roadtrips in the Alps in June or late September(early October), a manual is more than appropriate and much more fun. Just because the older gentlemen that go in tours with you(or those a little inexperienced at driving fast), prefer a dsg for its easyness in driving(especially when left to do its own thing(gear changes), that does not mean that for a real enthusiast and an enthusiast at driving, something better can be found, because it can't.. as nothing beats a good manual in a proper car, at proper driving. cheers!

Neat, maybe I take a viper fifth gen but the merc sits good with me, 911 good car too

I'm starting to believe that the 911 GT3 The Greatest Sports Car Ever Made. It pretty much ticks all the boxes... Price - Performance - Sound - Usability - Affordability (maintenance/Insurance/fuel) - Resale - Parts - Daily Driving - Track Driving - Road Tripping. I usually can't stand Porsche people 0_o but I can't argue with them.

Amazing choices! Can you share what other contenders were on your list besides the two winners?

The fact that the gtr is soo good and you cant decides says alot about the car..

Wonderful video 👏👏👏

Great choices

As a Porsche Targa (2015) driver this is important work as I am considering upgrading/downgrading (?) to a Mercedes AMG GT (Circa 2015) with the only difference being I don't drive like a lunatic

GTR❤

Cracking choice of cars and the same 2 cars I was torn between after selling James the M600, but the manual box on the GT3 swung it for me. I look forward to meeting them on an event soon 👍

@SCD - what JCR setup did they put on?

Great video! GT3 please 🙏

Comfort seats in a GT car is the way to go

2 of my favorite cars of all time. ❤❤❤ 🏎🔥💨💨💨🏎🔥💨💨💨💨

Please bring us more videos

Did you guys consider an R8? Interesting to hear your views as Im currently in same spec 991 GT3 and weighing up a GTR or R8 to swap it for...

People talk about Manual or Stick Shift cars a lot, nothing shifts as quick as a good Dual Clutch Gearbox

Luck you don’t have to choose between them because I absolutely love both, I think if I had to choose I would go Porsche but it’s so close

Isn’t the 991.1 GT3 also one of the most unreliable engines? Looking online there are several for sale with replacement engines.

Beauty and the beast

For road use 100k i would take a cayman new, full optional

Great video, can you give us a steer on the monthly’s with £30k deposit?

Great choice…😎😎

I have 5 driver’s supercars in the 210-350k range and I only have 120-140k budget left for 1 car that’s high performance and holds good value, while providing a diff driving experience. These two are def one of the top contenders, however with the engine issue and already having a 3rs eliminates the gt3 right away for me. Def interested in the gtr (a bit concerned with its visibility), other cars in consideration in the same price range would be the new nsx 599, FF, 650s/570s (excluded all the 5.0 and 5.2 v10s coz of redunadancy). This price segment is very interesting, it’s full of driver’s, high perf modern cars that havent or have a slim chance of ever reaching a level of significance or getting picked up as collectors one day. Which one do u think has a better chance?

I’ll take both

Well I'd take the GT-R

Amg gtr my take all day❤

Man I love the way my amg gt r looks but it's such a brute to drive around the suburbs. It's too powerful and only feels light if you are speeding. Got a 2nd car bmw m340i as my daily. But...the amg gt is the best looking car on the planet

I love AMG and the GTR! No Porsche for me!

JCR 😍🔥🔥🔥

Theyre both winners *whispers*: But the Porsche is the winner

GT3 is a pure perfection

Where is this this scenery? Anyone knows where they shot this?

Where did you get a GT3 for $110k

GTR is a contender for me. But believe I want even more hardcore/ uncomfortable/ stupid = Mk1 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera. I owned a normal AMG GT ( no S, C or R). That car was a bit boring in a strange way. Probably due to the doubleclutch gearbox. Do you have a comment?

honestly though, a v8 biturbo vs a flat 6 na? if this is comparison on numbers? how advanced is the engineering in that flat six cmon

No GT3 needs ceramic brakes to avoid vaiding

100k for these cars? damn these cars are so Cheap in the UK.

Germans do it the best 🇩🇪

Amg gtr is a gt3 with muscle car soul

Johnty

Mercedes Benz anyday over VW its better

I love the content but I hate your camera quality!!!!!

Which one is more overpriced?

Super cars are worth $250k-$1M those are high end sports cars

You really lost points here. If you re pushing on downhill you really have to riconsider your driving... publics roads are not tracks... carbonbrakes are for tracks use, not road. And the cost of maintenance is enormous. So your "brain/head/sensible" argument is complitely pointless... you will pay a fortune to replace those brakes. Steel is way better for roads use.

Neither of those are super cars

That’s an old gt3 m. C’mon man

Mercedes🤮👎

Not even in the same level..not even..gtr probably the best looking car right now..inside is 50 year in front of gt3..torque of merc is on next 2 levels..and if you like luxury and crazy pull merc walk alone vs those 2

Amg LOLOL just circus for your shackles.
