Porsche Carrera GT history and on-road review. Best sounding Porsche ever? 

Love how clean it’s lines are, and I love the fact it doesn’t have horrible big infotainment screens that would have aged horribly by now. It’s simple design means it will always look timeless

early in the video: active spoiler rises at 78 mph. Harry on B roads: spoiler rises in the background. Love it.

It is impossible for me to express how much I love this car.

The year was 2007 and I was twenty years old. I was working for a local Porsche-Audi dealer as a shuttle driver when a customer brought in one of these Carrera GTs for some work. I count myself lucky to have been there when he returned to pick it up. He crawled out of the lot and onto the street that ran out front of the dealer and then made his way to the stop sign with the major highway. Just as I gave up on hearing anything from it, this primordial scream came forth as he floored it away from the stop sign and it was as if the checkered flag had just dropped on a one-car F1 race. He ran it straight to redline and even though he was well away from the building, the volume never seemed to diminish. I'd never heard anything like it and even now, 13 years later I can still hear it in my head and it never fails to make the hairs on my neck stand up. What a car!!!!

Wow, if anyone should review this iconic car, it's Harry. Brilliant.

What makes Harry's reviews so unique are the stories from personal experience he throws into them. Lucky to follow him from the early EVO days.

This, the LFA, and the Zonda are probably the best sounding modern supercars

This video is a perfect example of why Harry is so unique - despite the eye watering price and exclusivity of some of his subject cars, he has a wonderful way of summarizing the attributes (positive and negative) of his subject matter in a matter of fact, layman's everyday explanation that perfectly gives you a first hand impression of the car's qualities. Like you're there in the cockpit, sitting right beside him, hanging on to every word. Very sincere and genuine. Love this channel, one of the best car channels today

Well this is going to be the best video i've seen all week

that's a damn fine review by someone who knows what is talking about. amazing harry!

God what a brilliant review, no fuss, straight to the point. Harry’s one of the best if not the best today. Please don’t miss the last 10 seconds. What an ending!!

Some cars are just bloody special. This is one of them.

Hearing about that 45k mile Carrera GT made me smile, glad at least one of them was properly used

Harry needs a Carrera GT in the garage. Best car ever.

Saw one today at Goodwood, what a noise ! Fantastic !

Simply the best sounding road car engine ever made.

My all-time favourite car. Lucky enough to see one on the road, sounds unreal in person.

I was bored then Harry posted a video. All ready in a better mood. These are the best videos going about cars

4 years = a million dollars of appreciation, and I still think they're under priced. Harry's best video imo. What a car.

I dunno how to describe it but through the in-car footage this car conveyed itself, Harry didn't have to say a word. Everything about it seems so transparent and so purposeful.

A fantastic review of my favourite car - I've been lucky enough to own one from new in 2005, and done 21,000 memorable miles. It was so good that Olaf Manthey once said it could win the Nurburgring 24 hour race virtually "out of the box"; sadly Porsche never let him try! Thanks Harry - that was a real treat.

Option codes - C00, german specification. 197, larger battery. 572, air con. 577, brown luggage set. 681, sound system. 690, CD radio.

Love all the architectural elements of this car, especially the way the rear glass interacts with the roll bars which in turn incorporate the engine air boxes -it's a fantastic multi layered area of the car that you never get tired of looking at.

I read that issue of EVO with the analog supercars a dozen times over, I was in Afghanistan at the time on a deployment and it was one of the few mags that actually made it through the mail to my unit. Awesome stuff.

I’m so used to watching modern car reviews, then after watching this. I realise what we’re missing. My god.

By far the best car related youtube channel featuring my absolute favorite car and probably the best drivers car of the 21 century. This is going to be a fantastic 28 minutes.

It is impossible for me to express how much I love this car. Thanks for taking us along!

I'm afraid there will never be an electric car that'll provide such acoustic joy as this wonderful engine in this incredible car. Superb video again Harry.

I couldn't help but smile during that last 10 seconds Superb video as usual Harry, thank you for bringing these to us!

This is the car people will remember when everything goes electric and autonomous. Manual, 5.7 n/a V10, clever carbon bodywork.

Serious candidate for best sounding car ever, period. A precision engineered scalpel with a howling soulful v10 at it's heart. Beautiful, and great review Harry.

Harry - "I hope you enjoyed this video" Me: Lights cigarette*

I haven't even watched this and I've liked it. Saving it until I've been good enough to deserve it!

The best car enthusiast and presenter on RU-vid, hands down! Thank you Harry!

This has been my dream car since I first saw the video of Walter driving the concept car through the desert and this has been one of the most in-depth looks at this amazing car, once again Harry you’ve aloud us access to the sensations of being in the vehicle and described the parts of the experience that we can’t get from just seeing it

The EVO issue mentioned at 15:27 was one of the best. I remember drooling over the car line up. Great memories!

His reviews are so perfect 👌 it’s so therapeutic

I could quite happily spend the rest of my day listening to Mr Metcalf tell war stories about manufacturers and drivers. You're that compelling of a presenter Harry.

The sound of that engine is something else……astounding

Dickie: "The (LFA) throttle response is totally insane, to the point where even the CGT's motor feels a little tardy by comparison... the LFA steers with greater precision and a sweeter rate of response than the Porsche... despite my deep love for the Carrera GT I can't put it ahead of the intoxicating and truly wondrous LFA". - Evo 200. Sounds like we need a Harry's Garage episode on the Lex, now.

This is what I want to see, theres so many incredible cars that we're produced in the past but due to the era when they were released there's barely any video media of them being driven and talked about. More of this please. Cars were far better before electrification.

Saving this for my dinner viewing tonight :)

The greatest non-911 Porsche ever!

It's aged so well! I own a 718 Spyder and I must say I see many styling similarities between the two cars!

Best RU-vid half an hour EVER spent. Best car ever made, reviewed by the most insightful automotive reporter of our time. Good times. P.S. I'll just quote Dave Gahan: "words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm".

The first time I heard the sound of this Porsche was The film Fracture. It was being driven by Antony Hopkins. Fantastic!

That engine noise always gives me chills. Unbeleivable, the perfect car.

It's beyond criminal that I can only give one like to this video. Well done Harry.

OMG favorite car and youtube channel together at last!!! Harry's #1!!!💙💙🔥🔥

If I had to have one car for the rest of my life, this is it.

I think you may just have outdone yourself with this simply splendid review. Your commentary conveyed several aspects about it but you managed to capture the nature of the sounds beautifully. I might just 'watch' this again, with my eyes shut. Thank you very much for a most enjoyable review of one of my favourite ever cars produced. Magnificent job Harry!

Amazing video Harry! Perfect review from experience and knowledge with only engine noise as soundtrack! Perfect!

Have not seen Harry enjoy a machine like this before!

Top gear who... Harry’s all I need.

I haven’t seen this video yet despite finding videos of this OUTSTANDING beautiful car. Quite frankly you review is way better than the rests I managed to watch. I thank you, good sir, for enlightening me on this roaring machine. Your review is lovely and I realize, I missed out a lot before I found your channel c:

An excellent review of one of my all-time favourite cars 👌! Thanks for including the history with the launch event as well. I also liked that you based your opinion on other cars of the same genre.

Thank you for doing this review. I love the details you focus on in your videos, same things real car enthusiasts care about.

It’s a car that looks like it’s doing 200 miles an hour while standing still the sheer beauty of design elegance and sophistication what a fantastic video a man who knows cars inside and out

This Carrera GT and the F-40 both give you a wild race car ride.. The noise, the acceleration, and the handling are just like a true track car. You have to drive them all.. including a McLaren F1 or P1

When I stay with old pals in Ascott under Wychwood - we often see exoticars locally and they say "It's only Harry" !! Brilliant video!

Christmas came early this year!

One of the best sounding cars of all time! Great review as always

Great review Harry - I love it and that wonderful car. Keep up the great work of bringing these special cars to us.

Thanks, Harry, for the brilliant review. Your depth of experience and expertise, contacts provide such a rich context that it’s hard to compare. I learned more from watching you in this video than I have in countless other ones combined. I especially loved the front bumper - while driving - photography.

thank you for the banshee howls, spine tingling blood rush

The car we have all been waiting for Harry to review! Great video as always Harrysgarage.

One of your best videos Harry. This needs to be a Sticky on the RU-vid welcome page for any car fan.

Your videos are so enjoyable to watch. I really appreciate your channel. One of the most informative automotive channels on RU-vid.

Well this is a great unexpected start to the morning! Thanks for the video as always!

This is my favorite car of all times.

What a car! Proper drive and review Harry as we've come to expect from the channel. Thank you for bringing the V10 symphony to my Monday afternoon. Cheers.

That exhaust note!!!

That sound. 10/10

Seems like Doug Demuro missed all these details...

That has been in my top 5 fav cars of all time since I first heard that engine note!! It's great to see your enthusiasm and love for these specials machines in your videos Harry, keep them coming. It's the closest mere mortals like me get to enjoying them!!

My absolute all time favorite car and there is no way it will ever change. I already know I'll re-watch this video at least 3 times like all the others. Thank you!

I was talking to Walter Rohl, Harry has certainly been around and knows what he is talking about. Great video as usual.

Incredible sound!

Harry, don’t know what I’d watch without your postings, love every one! Thank you sir!

This guy should be one of the Top Gear presenters!

Been lucky enough to see some of these on the road a handful of times, mostly in LA / Malibu area. Great review on a unbelievable car. Thank you Harry!

Porsche Carrera GT = ❤

That sound puts chills down the spine!

What a fantastic review!!I could watch Harrys videos all day!

Nice one Harry!! Sounds amazing that engine

Brilliant review of one of the all time great cars 👌🏻

Another excellent video review! Thanks Harry, you're the best!

What a great video what a great car ! Harry you didn’t stop smiling all the way through the road test your enthusiasm is intoxicating keep up the fantastic “ace’” work

The best sounding car ever made.

God, that exhaust note on the outro. What a snarling, sassy thing that V10 is.

Wow ! That exhaust howl in the last 10 secs. Brought a tear to my eyes... Another outstanding video Harry !

Iconic car. That sound is epic.

As a Boxster owner, it's really neat to see the similarities between the Carrera GT and the Boxster. The door jambs look the same, the front hood looks the same (though probably carbon) and of course the instrument cluster and steering wheel look to be the same unit (also shared with 996). It's remarkable how well finished this car is compared to something like a Lamborghini of the same vintage - the details are bordering on apple consumer product - level attention.

What can I say... Harry and the reviews he makes.. It's brilliant every time. Feels like christmas whenever a new video is released. Thank You Sir! 👍

Thanks Harry, that was a total pleasure to watch and hear about the unveiling one early Paris morning. Massive thanks for a perfect vid

Add one to the collection Harry! It’s growing up in value and for sure is a blast of a car.

I have watched many of Harry's videos and I have never seen him SO excited...awesome car !

I love the contemptuous sneer from Harry at 16:38. 'This car has done 2,400 miles...'

What a video ,felt like I was there ,loving your work Harry

That sound is F1 era at its finest!
