Porsche 992 GT3 Touring on-road review. Is this the GT3 you really want? 

Yes we need 40min long videos on the F40 and then F50…

People are struggling to pay there gas bills and foods for the cost for living

@@razkhan2958 Some people. A lot of people are still doing reasonably okay, despite the war and devaluation. But don’t own Porsches or Lamborghinis.

@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 so what does it have to do with this review. Whatever Harry has is a result of his brilliance and hard work,

@@dinnaimo I don’t have a supercar either, nor will I most likely ever get one - but I can always dream of owning one, thank God for the lottery - but whether people can afford to eat or paying the petrol is another issue. And it really doesn’t have anything to do with this road test.

@@razkhan2958 It's true. That's why I am only buying one. I'll just keep using the SVJ as my daily.

Might be down to the Porsche accounting department. "We're in the Red" vs. "We're in the Black". 😆😆😆

Because they can…. works for Ferrari too. All it takes is for no one to take up the option, but clearly people do.

They have to disassemble the calliper, strip the red paint off, paint it black and reassemble

Don't they charge a similar amount to paint the key fob in the body colour!

Apparently painting callipers are not as easy as painting bodyworks. They need to find a way to keep the paint from stripping itself away from extreme heat exerted by hard braking.

Especially compared to that garish 296 GTB that Harry drove recently!

Amazing how people are in thrall to dull silvers/greys/undercoats.

the money for these now is outlandish! the list price is reasonable but retail now has gone bonkers -

@@EvoraGT430 Those flat milky grays I’m totally with you, it looks unfinished, like an undercoat. But a metallic silver is completely different. On sporty German cars in particular it has a heritage element to its appeal being Germany’s historic racing color. Reminds me a bit of Mercedes Silver Arrows from the 30s that were completely unpainted to save weight, leaving just the unadorned metal body. Not quite as authentic nowadays with all the carbon body work which obviously wouldn’t be silver unpainted, but still puts me in that mindset of the paint just fading away and leaving the curves of the car to really speak for themselves. I’m a huge James Bond fan and his cars a usually silver. And finally there’s something about the simplicity and maturity of silver that suits a German car imho, kind of a jock in a suit kinda vibe. Like a Lamborghini should never be silver but German cars usually have that more austere buttoned down character that matches a more subtle paint scheme. Ymmv of course, aesthetics are very subjective, and I kinda get the appeal of subverting expectations by painting a subtle car a bold color. But those are some of the reasons I love silver German cars.

@@grantalbrecht4577My wife had a Mk1 TT in Silbersee Metallic and the silver with a hint of electric purple in low light and the deep, shell hard clearcoat was the best looking car we’ve owned. Helped that it was the 225, black leather. Lovely car, had it a decade. Still looked new when it was sold.

YES IT WOULD

What is a relaxing Sunday afternoon?

@@malcomthewasp ask your wife

@@malcomthewasp same cant remember the last time i realxed on sunday.. its work work work

@@MrAndyj007 always make time for yourself no matter what the circumstances are 👍

Oh dear. I had a new 992 C2S for a year and was so sick of the ride and being pitched around on B roads that I sold it. Not heard the term bump steer before but that's exactly what mine did. It hated any minor pot hole too. Wish I'd have known about suspension tuning specialists!

Roads are not the same everywhere on the planet, so if you spend this much, getting it set up properly for the roads you drive on seems like really good advice.

@@flyingp830 could not agree more!

Yes you will be able to afford it ! Focus get creative manifest it you deserve it!

I’m afraid in the UK it’s purely academic as to whether you can afford it or not as you won’t be able to achieve an allocation. As Harry says if you have been a serial Porsche buyer from the same dealer you may be “considered” but even so the chance is very very slim.🤬

@@hpman911 point taken, I understand but I intend on buying one second hand, low miles. For these prices I would never buy a gt3 for 300k new until I’ve become filthy rich then maybe lol

@@commasNculture have you seen the used car prices? Absolutely astronomical I’m afraid.

@@hpman911 it will probably be more than buying new

Totally agree.

@@EvoraGT430 glad to see someone else agreeing with me.

Apart from the unacceptable bump-steer.......

@@EvoraGT430 Did you sell yours?

the dull GTS rwd manual also sounded decent and it's the price of a whole boxter cheaper than this. After that Harry's video...I always wondered if a car like this touring it's worth the difference?!

I reckon boxter gts will give you 95% of the fun for way way less. Great cars

@@eugenux Cayman 4.0 is better option, not boxster. Amazing value for money.

He also greatly enjoyed the Evora and Emira.

Yeah I'd say cage will 100% add stiffness, and because it's hard mounted to chassis will obviously also resonate a lot, basically a network of hollow tubes singing behind you. Bit alarming that the setup is inconsistent between delivered cars, definitely looks a fidget on the road...

Good thought and makes a lot of sense!

How ironic if you crashed it because it was too wide to get through a gap!

Finest sports car on sale today. Could go down as the best ever made!

@@chadbarbaro No way. See 12:18

Do what Dale did and trade in M2 Joe!

Sitting in that car with Joe right now, amazing video Harry!

your not fanboy enough lol

no it does not. common misinformation i've seen on the internet before. 991 and 991.2 indeed had it. 992 does NOT have this feature.

@@zhbroder I can 100% guarantee you. It does, my dad picked up his manual 992 GT3 2 weeks ago and it has flatshift. It's in the owners manual.

N on mkmyi

Cupholder designed for auto / pdk, and they didn't bother to change it for the manual lovers, I guess

Definitely can in Europe excluding UK. Ofc history of prev 911 purchases are required, but unlikely you'll be buying it as first porsche

@@atom999 🖐️

Thanks for the advice 🥴

Your life is only white or black ?

@@lollypop9580 No, it's a case of the right tool for the job.

Valuable information !

Bitcoin youngster. 😁

It should ideally be optional having rear seats installed. That would be my dream spec GT Touring

i had the same thought.

wrong … Identical suspensions

I'm a little skeptical that this car is actually softer as the suspensions are supposed to be identical. Could it be Harry not quite remembering since so much time elapsed between the two drives? Could it be the weather somehow? Though colder weather would make rubber bushings stiffer. Maybe tire pressure? One thought, though I would think this might only be felt at higher speeds is maybe the extra downforce on the regular GT3 compresses the suspension more and without that extra compression from the big wing the Touring's springs might offer more actual travel? Yeah, that's the theory I'm going with for now....

@@brianhimmelman420 that certainly seems to be the case. Evo and Piston Heads both noted the same difference between touring and non-touring, PH were told it was down to Cup 2 vs Pirelli rubber, but the GT3 Harry drove was on Pirellis the same as on the Touring. I wonder if the cage made a difference? It would certainly increase the amount of acoustic ingress, but I struggle to think that it would make such a difference to the driving dynamics and ride comfort. The fact that Harry recorded a significant difference in the in-car noise leads me to believe it isn't just a case of bias on Harry's part.

@@howarddavies136 the scaffolding inside the car makes a big difference as it resonates etc ..

Just a shame it’s not actually “available” to 99% of potential customers in the UK !!

911 will always be the one to go for end of story.

@@johnguidetti5839 100% depends on the course for your horse Spazmatron......

If you are in the UK how did you manage to get an allocation?

@@hpman911 Previous gt3 gt4 spyder all traded back to porsche dealership in uk .My dealer had I believe only an allocation of3 touring so knowing the sales advisor / manager helped .waited though over 12 months for the car had previously enquired about the 991 touring but no slot available,so be patient and prepared to trade up the ladder of models .Also drive a cayenne hybrid coupe again this purchase helps expensive but with it

yeah
