Porsche GT3 vs Ferrari 360 | Top Gear 

Back when 400hp was a lot. Boy, have times changed.

Of course Jeremy would pick the Ferrari just like how Richard would pick the Porsche and James would say both are rubbish

They should come back to this test with a modern GT3 RS and a 458 Speciale

I watched this episode when it came out when I was in college. Never thought in a million years that I would one day actually own Challenge Stradale. I do now and I love it! Always dream big everyone and work hard!!! 😃

Am I the only one who thinks the 360 still looks sharp?

The first time I ever see Jeremy say something nice about a Porsche...lol

After all these years this is still one of the best super car track tests Jeremy conducted, in my opinion. The GT3RS looks great; the 360CS though - that V8 sounds glorious.

My oh my that Ferrari looks fresher and sleeker than the ones today in my opinion. That back-end is the definition of sexy even for 2017

I'm definitely more of a Porsche fan but I must concede, that Ferrari looks just beautiful!

Damn, the music, Boards of Canada. What a selection for a BBC show about cars, I wonder who picked the songs

this is the moment i decided that the 360CS is my dream car after 12 years of hard work, I finally get my 360CS from Hotwheels Elite

So, all this technology and the extra 50.000 and still the lap time is the same! In terms of performance this is a clear win for the Porsche!

Man I love Porsche's. Something about them has made me have a soft spot for them since I was young. I would love to own one, one day. A man can dream!

Imagine getting the same laptime while saving 50k, and 14 years later your car is still reliable and robust as new.

The soundtrack guy is a _huge_ Boards of Canada fan

The 360 is such a classic piece of design it will never look dated

The 360cs is very rare and worth a fortune these days

".. I think a Ferrari is a scale down version of God." XD I love you jeremy.

When it comes to cars like these, character defines everything.

I absolutely love how they used boards of canada's music in this video timestamp: 3:51

I need a list of all the songs used in this. Top Gear always has phenomenal soundtracks to their episodes.

Love hearing BoC in top gear

So the Porsche was the true winner here with less hp and a cheaper price tag.....

So happy to hear that Boards of Canada "Geogaddi" music in the Porsche GT3 review!

most of us work 30-60 hrs / week and barely get by, and yet imagine there are people who have so much throwaway money that they can have a "track day" car

If I got $5 for every time I saw that 2014 Chevrolet Corvette commercial I would be able to afford most of the cars on this show

why is the first comment under every top gear video always a kiddie comment like "Nissan GTR is faster" ? WHY?

Woah Boards of Canada feature on top gear thats sick

That exhaust note @8:05 when Stig downshifts is just great.

Respect where it's due, the top gear team has a utterly brilliant taste in music. So much for Ferrari is scaled down god. So are the tracks by "Boards of Canada" in this video. Fair play...!

Just a 2020 comment coming through. Its been 12 years since this video, and Porsche has beat Ferrari once again lol 488 Pista (7:00.3) vs 911 GT2 RS (6:47.3) Nordschleife 13 SECONDS!!!!

The smoothest drifting Jeremy has ever done is done right here.

Boards of Canada :)

I will like my Boards of Canada with a sip of some Porsche; thanks

0:35/6:00, 1:20, 1:50, 3:21 and 3:51...5 x Boards of Canada tracks in one car review?! Nice work!

7:27 that was one of Michael's best starts...

Love that sound out of the Ferrari !

Brings back good memories watching this. One of my favorite episodes.

Had both. Both are fantastic. GT3 feels a bit more competent on the track but the Stradale is a rockstar to own. Plenty of positives for both though... And I never turn the radio on in either.

At 2:55 he says that you don't get a radio, but at 7:39 the stig listens to music in it

The noise from that Ferrari though 😍😍😍

The Porsche 911 has such a distinct sound.

wish they reuploaded this in 720p. I still remember watching this clip the first time and being blown away be these two cars

That's why Jeremy is the best car reviewer ever. He's spot on about the handling.

So basically the Porsche won. It has less power (40PS), weighs more (80kg), is a lot cheaper (50k £) and still matches the time of the Ferrari. Not to mention the Porsche is far more reliable and cheaper to maintain...

this is my favourite Porsche 911 ever. don't know why I like the 996 GT3 RS more than the 997/991 GT3 RS

I was for the Porche and could not believe that it was actually just as fast on track as the Ferrari!

Blooper: The Ferrari dosen't have a radio yet the Stig is enjoying some music, huh?

Youve gotta love the Boards of Canada backdrop music

The early days of Top Gear. So educational and honest.

Uncertain whether to listen to Jeremy's voice or Boards of Canada's sound

that smile when he found race button :D

911 GT3 all the way. Looks far more composed, has less aids, just 100% brutally honest mechanical grip

Dod your 458, 488 and T8, the F430 and 360 are so stunning xD THE NOISE

I'm in love with the GT3. I mean the 991 versions - I quite like the older GT2 models as well, and I'm sure I'll love the new GT2.

The mixture of Geogaddi and GT3 is masterful to this day.

I've seen the F430, scuderia and Italia for so long I completely forgot that the Modena even existed.

I don't understand... Last year Ferrari 360 CS's were 110.000 euro's... Now the cheapest one is 175.000... An average 996 GT3 RS is now 250.000 in Germany... I wish I had some money to invest in stuff like this..

Such a well put together piece this.

Love the boards of Canada in top gear

Growing up in the 80's, the 911 was my dream car. I finally can afford one so I drove the 911 turbo. It was slightly used. Beautiful car, but as they say, never meet your heroes. The car felt like a tank, slow and lethargic until those turbos kick in and then it took off like a rocket. I absolutely hated it. Then I test drove a Ferrari, a car I was never that fond of growing up. I fell in love and bought it. Ferrari's have such an intangible feeling that is hard to describe. You feel special when you drive one. The Porsche didn't give me that feeling.

2 good cars and the sound of the Ferrari is just so amazing...

i was 14 when the 360 came out in 99, at 16 i got my license & naturally had my choice of dream car i could never afford between the 911, 360, or diablo. That ferrari sound & the F1 team, made me want a 360 still to this day.. i also got a 360 puzzle that year for xmas & decided i wont open it until i buy one of the cars. now i'm trying to sell my lifted truck & modded wrx & get finances in order to hopefully finally get 16 year old me's dream car 23 years later.. i've watched this episode in the current season, downloaded it (before youtube existed) & watched it probably 35-40 times since.

"scaled down version of god" hahaha

We all had more fun in our track day cars back then. No one looked at times, but we ran bumper to bumper lap after lap at pace and all had smiles. Miss my old 6 GT3

Man I really miss this era of Ferrari, so much better in my opinion than what they're putting out today

crazy how much horsepower has changed in 12 years

I remember watching this episode on Dave so much.

the porche now is like 300hp or 400hp and it can beat a car that is 800hp like the dodge demon srt or something else. But keep in mind porche is german magic

The Porsche is by FAR the most powerful, affordable tree frog shaped supercar ever made. Every single one of them ever make.

"And you have a big button that says 'RACE'!"

I like the fact that on No other track are they even within a second of each other, Yet here they do the same time? Please, That GT3 should have ate that 360.

Absolutely love the 996gt3rs! I drove one a number of years back, and not driven anything since that matches the unadulterated driving appeal...before the era of electronic nannying driving aids. Good times.

Always loved Porsche. Similar performance, iconic good looks and 50,000 pounds less than the Ferrari. Gotta love it.

The very definition of chronic is that it happens over and over again, so it's actually impossible to have chronic back ache in one day.

Watching this in 2019, the good old times!

Absolutely yes, the Porsche is a well balanced car. It is for people who loves speed, all they want to do is go faster than the other guy and that´s it. They love the car just because it´s fast, so they can love an airplane too, if they could drive one. Ferreri is a car for people who loves cars, love the shape of the car, driving it at ANY SPEED. I´m a true car guy, I love get my hands dirty on my XJS, I love learning about facts and mechanics, I love almost all kind of cars (SUV, luxury sedans, japanese cars) and I really love driving my car at ANY SPEED. Porsches are for men who thinks like 8 years old kid and want to go fast over the street. We have to remember Ferraris are made in Italy, the country that thinks in clothes, watches, paint, architecture and CARS as art, not only something to go fast from the point A to the point B. Germany is a country that is constantly developing things to be "better" everyday, and they sometimes forget the important thing in life, enjoy what you are doing.

So glad you put "car" after the word Ferrari and Porsche. If not I would have no idea what type of program Top Gear was.

I think the design of the 360 still holds up beautifully to this day. That design is timeless. The Ferrari 360 has been my dream car since it came out when I was a kid. I just hope to God I make enough money one day to afford one 😭

I'd take the P-Car anyday for a track car over the Ferrari.

Old-school Top Gear never gets old.

The sound of the 360 is just 🔥🔥 but damn the sound of the flat 6 of the 911's all these years have always been such a beautiful thing to hear ❤️❤️

accurate to microseconds!!!unbelievable!!!

I still can't get over the fact that I get to drive this Ferrari almost EVERY DAY! I feel really really lucky now but when i'm inside I forget about it LOL It was love at 1st sight..actually the 1st night I couldn't sleep 'cause I couldn't wait for the morning to come to get back in it :)

boards of canada in the background, great!

I love donny park, played it on ride 3! My favorite track!

Both are absolutely fantastic cars but i would pick the Porsche! Especially the new one is incredible!

Ferrari Car? Who writes the titles? Sin Cara?

Fun fact the gt3 is now sorn with no mot with about 55,000miles on it and the registration on the Ferrari, is now registered to a 2022 ferrari 296 GTB

The challenge has appreciated so much now

same time and the 360 is 50 grand more?il take the Porsche any day.

I've never heard Hammond commentate a lap before.

Finally, someone who knows what Auto Union is! I'm from the Horch family and always happy find someone who knows what the rings on an Audi stand for!

2:56 Radio isn't standard but you can see it there.. Eyes and Ears, use them as a same time.

Cool soundtrack as ever. BoC.

I have a Porsche and would take the Porsche because repair bills are only about 10% more than Audi... I couldn't handle Ferrari repair bills mentally or financially

The Porsche with less power has the same performance like Ferrari with more power! That's is insane engeneering from the Porsche !

2019 and miss this simply analog best gt3.

And you have a big button that says, "RACE".... :D
