Porsche 911 Carrera T vs Porsche GT3 Touring | Top Gear 

This manual T on standard roads (which let’s admit is 99% of us) is an incredible car. You can drive through the gears, max out, stick it through corners. It’s unreal. It will be a serious collectors car in next 5-10 yrs

I believe that Porsche is one of the few companies that hasn't lost touch to making cars for every type of driver whether it be racing or casual driving

"Stealthy, flies under the radar, only people in the know will know how special this car is." -- The definition of every Porsche 911.

That GT3 Touring is, in my opinion, the greatest car ever made

I have a T and it’s bloody superb and it sounds superb! I had a 997 s manual from new and put 40k miles it and I can safely say the manual s wouldn’t put a patch on the PDK T. I believe the T will be very desirable in a few years .

Beautiful cinematography with two of my favourite cars. I’ve seen it before but it’s really quite excellent.

Porsche with manual is the best!

I prefer this philosophy of the sports car more than the spec driven approach. I would take the GT3 on the exhaust note alone: I hate the trend guards the "juvenile" snap, crackle, pop exhausts.

*Porsche is a Two-Syllable Word™*

The GT3 Touring front bumper is just so attractive 😍

I've been behind the wheel of both and the only thing you really have to decide on is if you want the N/A or Turbo car. Both cars are phenomenal.

AAAAAAAAAND Tesla fanboys will never understand all of that

lol “make 911 R speculators look a bit silly” #micdrop

I like this guy. BBC should try dumping the comedy show that’s top gear and make it more informative like the old Top Gear

"When was it ever a crime, to give customers exactly what they wanted?" Great line for the defense attorney of El Chapo...

Excellent, so I can save myself a few quid and can get a base Carrera with a manual and still have the same fun on the twisty mountain roads. Perfect!

Glad to see manual transmissions won’t be completely deleted anytime soon. ;)

To own a Porsche is one of my many goals in life!

Porsche Making the owners of 911R jealous?

On paper, that GT3 Touring is my ideal car. Love the colour, love how relatively low-key it is, but that Carrera T seems like an amazing bargain in comparison!

I really liked the back-to-basics style of this video.

No doubt this is a cool video with great cinematography, I just wish there were more, longer, in car shots showing the actual driving with the actual in car experience. Anyone else bothered @3:50 where the sound doesn't even match the tach? Presenter is good though - almost as good as Harris.

They should get this guy and Henry from Carfection as hosts on Top Gear TV

those are cars and should be the philosophy of making cars, not just how much torque or the best acceleration to 0-60 mph, but also the feeling that car and you are connect, and MANUAL GEARBOX OF THESE PORSCHE LOOKS AMAZING, greetings from Perú

Looks like Porsche got pissed people made more money than them on the 911R, now this is there revenge.

Everything about the spec on that GT3 is impeccable

While I agree with all the comments saying this should have been a harris video, this guy did an excellent job and made an excellent video which I would dare suggest is on par with the quality of old TG reviews. Great job guys, keep up the great work!

I feel you TopGear. Keep doing what you're doing and don't get complacent, because this guy is after all just a Clarkson copy and no matter how much that might be a coincidence, you need to steer as far away from that as possible. I know that Clarkson actually had the most intouch with the show's focus to begin with, which is the emotional side of driving BUT if you have the recipe for emotion you don't need to copy the style of Clarkson, so prove it. This should feel like the Gentlemen's club all day everyday!

Have been waiting for this video for a long time! Not disappointed! Great cinematography as usual, beautiful cars and Jack pulls it off quite well. The Carrera T has gotten a lot of hate from what I've seen for being the 911 nobody asked for, but I don't think its that bad. However, in the company of the GT3 Touring, its easily overshadowed. The Carrera T is a brilliant car, but the GT3 is in a different league altogether. Atmospheric engine, epic chassis, looks good (its grown on me), I have a feeling these are going to go up in value sooner than we think.

I’ll take the Porsche.

I'm lucky enough to have had my own 991.1 Carrera 2S in my ideal spec since the age of 33 - but the GT3 Touring is just perfect. One day..

"But other manufacturers, please take note: sports cars and supercars aren't just about headlines and numbers and performance figures. It's about the squidgy human sitting in the middle controlling them" I think you can sum the video with this sentence Car manufacturers should definitely look at what Porsche makes

Im 18 and hope to own a porche by my late 20s hopefully the manual gearbox is still around and emissions haven’t devastated the sports car market

I am so suck off giant wings, diffusers and snap, crackle, pop engines. Thank you for this GT3 Porsche.

Targa seems like the best choice over all.

A gt3 touring.... absolute dreamcar.

The real question, is the GT3T 2x the fun of the CarreraT ? 85k for a CarreraT vs 170k for a GT3T?

You'd have to be happy with either of these. A stick and three pedals in a modern sports car is a wonderful thing.

Shot at 5:18 is super sick!

Gt3 looks way bigger in the vid idk why Its only like an inch or two longer on paper but it looks huge on screen

Such magnificent works of art

Recorded in France, south, la sainte beaume, what an amazing road!!!!!!!!!!!

Phenomenal review. 1) “… all these things help the [gt3 touring] bond with you rather than constantly straining at the leash.”

While I do miss the naturally aspirated flat sixes, Porsche has done a very good job of engineering their non-Turbo turbo engines. The Carrara T sounds lovely. I like the crackles and the slight turbo noise. The 4.0 in the gt3 is still my favorite but the T’s still sounds good and has more tuning potential. I couldn’t afford either one but if I could it would be hard to decide between the two. Most likely the gt3 but the fact you’d have enough money left over with the T to either do some mods or buy another car is pretty compelling. Either way, I don’t think either would disappoint.

They'd better make the off-road test drive of these Porsche 911s! It would be even more fun!

This should have been a Harris video :/

not much specific information on the actual driving experience of either car - what's the primary and secondary ride like? - roll stiffness? - suspension compliance? - understeer? lift off oversteer? BTW, if you don't think a GT3 is Intimidating then you aren't driving it anywhere near it's limit.....I have to drive mine with my right hand on the gear lever most of the time because I know that I'm going to need 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear pretty quickly due to how fast the car accrues revs and speed.......

This is a solid review, new Top Gear! You have it in you!

Both of those make me excited. I really hope they both outsell their prospective counterparts within the 911 range.

These cars are not analogue. The only analogue thing about them is the manual gearbox, and even that delivers the power from an electronically controlled Engine to the wheels through a sophisticated stability control system and active suspension system, with the front wheels controlled by an electronic power steering system. Very analogue.

Where is my man Chris Harris?

If GT3 did not have that electronically adjustable rear wing (if it was optional), it would be perfect.

What color is the GT3? Sorry if I missed it.

One time a man who said "it is absolutely superb".

All we want is informative reviews and comparisons with real driving information... no silly comedy shows. Thank you

Man you guys have been putting out some great videos! Keep it coming!

pretty sure the real world price difference between these two cars in the UK (once the dealer has took his cut) is actually the cost of another Carrera T, great video though

Just learn how to say Porsche. Don’t embrace saying it wrong to make a point that it doesn’t matter.

why the price of carrera T is harder to depreciate over time than the gt3 itself when i look up in the used car website to do some survey.

3:53 that, ladies and gentleman, is losing grip during acceleration at 85 kmph.

Man...GT3 Touring...I think I need one.

8/10 of the video about the GT3. How often do you go 0-60,push to 9000 prm and all that stuff that looks tasty on paper. Hows the T from 30 to 70mph or 50 to 110mph? Because THAT`S where the fun is at 90% of the time and they didn`t even touch on that.

Nice video and nice cars!!! Where did you make this video? I know,south of France but, if is possible,could I know the route?

Great video. Informative yet entertaining, and beautiful to look at. Keep up this level of quality.

What color is it on the porche gt3 touring on the picture?

Both these are brilliant back to basics pure sports cars. Brz was much more in my price range but I love Porsche’s pure 2 doors.

Where is this tower in the opening shot?

How many versions of the 911 are they going to make?

top gear isn't the same since clarkson, may and hammond

Beautiful cars Love it mate

For the first time in 30 years I bought an automatic car. I hated it so much I sold it & bought a manual.

Always makes an impression regardless of generation

I’m not some young kid nor am I someone that is obsessed with the latest and greatest technology. I still use headphones with wires attached. Why, because it sounds much better and there are fewer tech hiccups along the way. So why for the past two years has every diehard car enthusiast claimed to want a manual stick shift. It doesn’t make you a better driver. And I get it, it’s the experience of driving just like I enjoy using manual focus lenses on my cameras because it improves my enjoyment taking photos. Yet the actual enjoyment I received from driving is the feeling from the cars handling. Becoming more accurate and taking time to learn how the car response to road conditions. Learning from laps and becoming better at driving. But the possible enjoyment and experience from using a manual gearbox just seems like a little child saying vroom vroom as they pertain to drive a stationary car. The actual feedback from the car doesn’t come from the shift knob. A pro driver will lose anywhere between 1.5 to 2 seconds per lap while using a manual gearbox. This also causes the suspension to lunge because of the momentary 0.2 seconds there is less traction/power go into the wheels causing unbalance. Because the car is less balanced you’re unable to take corners or exit even though you’re not shifting in the corners you will generally downshift before entering a quarter. And the balance of the car while entering the corner also affects exiting of said corner. If you’re driving during wet conditions those 0.2 seconds while shifting could cause issues. So even if lap times are not your concern the feedback from the car all comes from the steering wheel, and general vibrations sitting in the seat, obviously. The whole idea that you would want to take your hands off the steering wheel as a benefit in someway just seems insane to me. If you have a vintage car with a manual gearbox, that’s great. I can see the enjoyment of the total experience. But if you’re spending so much money on a car because it has some of the highest performance current technology could develop and then choosing something that limits the performance just so you can go vroom vroom is ridiculous. While I’m sure this will get lots of hate responses, and I don’t care. This is just my opinion and you can have your own. Thank God the Internet allows me to share it without hurting others.

Why have not you subtittles on your video ? Please put it!

What song is this at the beginning?! I've heard it in movies too. So good

Does the touring have a pop up rear spoiler?

I love that about porsche. They remember always what made them great and stayed there. Great show mate. Topgear is one of the best show's out there and a great inspiration to my show as well called LET'S ROLL OUT. 👏👏👏👏

в детстве я почему то не понимал 911 и его не сменный дизаин, а сейчас я так люблю его за это..

I thought Vision was narrating this video :P

Magnificent video guys

Forget the £30k price difference. You can only get your hands on a used GT3 Touring and £160k is the going rate today. Suddenly it's £75,000 difference, which makes decisions so much more difficult, or takes the Touring out of most enthusiasts budgets.

Ok can somebody please tell me this guy's name? It's not in the description.

Chris Harris please. The mispronunciation at the end of Porsche is the equivalent - to me, at least - of stating Lamborghin.

2 perfect cars but gt3 is my favorite but i can only wish one

TG magazine hasn't lost it, then.

Here the obligatory "The old Top Gear was better" comment

It's still Porsche, not Porsch!!

Fantastic review and beautiful Spec Porsche’s

'It's about the squidgy human controlling them' is something I remember Clarkson saying. Regardless, this is a great film and review, reminiscent of stuff found on the evo channel, when evo still made good videos. Thumbs up from me.

This guy should be a regular beside Chris Harris.

I bet this would get at least double the views if Chris Harris name was in the title.

Okay, okay... what is that MUSIC at the 5:23 timestamp

U said everything in the last seconds of the video! 👍

This should've been a Chris Harris video.

A couple more weeks until The Grand Tour season (series) 3!

I wish this just had the two cars being driven through the mountains and their exhaust notes. As opposed to the commentary

Remember the time, when Top Gear was this amazing, phenomenal show? Well, now it's just a mediocre YT channel. Way to go BBC.

I really do hope that Porsche will always continue to live up to its expectancy... Always making perfect cars 👌😎

I wish BMW would take note of your last comment - the new M340i doesn't get a manual box! Wish I could afford that Touring......

Good road test. Who’s the journalist?
