The Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR | Chris Harris Drives | Top Gear 

Can't watch enough of Chris Harris , he is the premier car journo imho. Neil's filming is first class as always.

I’m 71 years old, and the pinnacle of my “car life” was when I had a 1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet and a 2004 Porsche Carrera 4S in my garage at the same time - 40 years apart, both works of art. I’d like to drive what I think is the most beautiful Porsche - the 904 GTS (a model of which sits on my desk), but the price is beyond my reach. I had a lot of fun with these beautiful machines!

Watching Chris over the years is like watching the development of performance cars, they just get better and better. He’s making petrol heads go back to top gear, you can trust his journalism and only admire with envy his ability in driving. It excites me to watch him and a pleasure to listen. Real cars by a real person. Thanks.

Porsche is, in my mind, the best sports car manufacturer period. Everything they make is super reliable, practical and capable.

Chris' lap time was only about a second off of the pros. Good on ya mate. You're a fantastic pilot!

Chris Harris is the last great automotive journalist of the old guard. A great intersection of where articulation meets skill, the world needs more of him

I’m the orignal owner of a 993 C2S, 997.2 GT3 and 991.1 GT3 RS. I take the GT3 and RS to the track - drive in the morning, track it all day, then drive home. They are remarkable cars on the track and even more remarkable afterward when you drive home comfortable with the A/C and radio on. Porsche owners take great pride in being able to do that and in putting miles on the car. What I’ve found in going to cars & coffee events is that Porsche owners always lament how few miles they get to drive due to family and work obligations while other high end car owners (Ferrari) brag about how few miles they have on their cars. There really is no comparison, for performance, longevity and quality, Porsche is the best.

Watching Chris Harris is seeing a driving legend develop in real time. Under different circumstances, the man could’ve been a factory driver; kind of glad he has gone the route he has, because his videos are the BEST driving enthusiast films on the internet.

The Porsche GT2 RS is much like Chris Harris. The Porsche GT2 RS MR is much like Chris Harris with a beard.

If I’m being honest, Top Gear only needs Chris Harris. Go ahead and keep Matt LeBlanc, he’s cool too.

So he's within a second of the track record set by the guy the car was tuned for, and who's spent countless hours going over telemetry with engineers? 🔥🔥🔥

You know it's a proper machine when even Chris Harris can't speak while driving it hard.

They're both bald for aero dynamics and weight savings

😂😂10:52 Talk us through this amazing tire...! Guy, basically : Screw the tire! It was my mods that worked all the magic! Lol 🔥🔥

Me: I want one Bank Account: Nope Me: I will save money Bank Account: Nope. Just enjoy the video pal.

I come back to this video once in a while, to appreciate how well Chris describes the driving experience of this particular car. The video editing is also mind blowingly exquisite

Chris Harris has saved Top Gear by making it his own and just being authentic. His passion is real, he's great at presenting and he's a proper driver.

The fact the Chris can go head to head with Porsche's test driver is beyond insane. A car journalist that can talk the talk and walk the walk. Put him in charge of Top Gear as a presenter and you have yourselves a winning formula.

Just awesome no drama no non-sense journalism. It was all about pushing a car that was built to be pushed around a track. Last thing we need is a super car drifting in corners but apparently most other journalists don't understand.

Just when you think a car can’t get better. It does. That Porsche looked so smooth on the track.

Chris Harris is the" top gear"and the GT2 RS is AWESOM

6:45 "Neunvierzsch fünf" "Was?" "Neunvierzsch fünf" 😂😂😂

Porsche is Porsche!! Power with wisdom! 👊👏

I’ve watched Chris on RU-vid since he took a mk1 focus rs down a B class road in wales and demonstrated left foot braking. He has always been a true driver and top lad that just has enthusiasm and honesty for driving and the vehicles including bikes.

Faster than a P1, and it uses MacPherson struts like any normal car. It’s not even an extremely sophisticated car, which says a lot about what Porsche’s capable of.

This is what top gear should always be, new car reviews and exploration of the pinnacle of motorsport, technology, design and culture. Just a shame that it'll never be on the tv's program.

Everything so good from the videography, Manthey upgrades to two driver breaking the track lap like that.

I like how Chris summed this up: "I think we need this competition going". I totally agree with him :-D

Chris...in Portugal...with another professionally tuned Porsche...not jealous at all 😩

So the bigdaddy 911 destroys all the hypercars now? The GT2 RS MR is going up top in my dream garage now. Well done

Just watch the lap on the "Ring" it's breathtaking just by watching it. Can't even imagine how it is inside the car. Great interview and show. One of my favs.

love the fact there is a proper onboard hot lap in this vid. thanks!

Top Gear died with the trio leaving for me, but Chris Harris resurrected it, and it's all about the cars which I love more than The Grand Tour

This is the best of Top Gear, and it's not even shown on Top Gear.

I like how much actual knowledge and experience Harris has - and he is a fun dude, well done!

Never thought I fall in love again until I saw this car.

This guy is the best journalist for Top Gear hands down not mention he can drive

The GT2 is just amazing like one of the greatest Porsche ever made

Now that's how you do a car segment! Nice job Chris, loved it 👍

I honestly and quite simply just loved this video. You do not wish to skip a single second of it. Credit must also be given to Neil Carey who has been instrumental in making Chris achieve this extremely lovely level of visual journalism. The perfect team, these two make! Well well done, I'll never stop watching you wherever you go.

Chris, helper springs are effectively zero spring rate once the car is on the ground. They're used to keep the short main springs from misaligning at full suspension droop, where they would otherwise be uncompressed and free to move laterally. You must be thinking of tender springs, which are given a bit more rate.

What an absolutely beast of a Porsche. Love everything about it. Bravo Chris as well for such a good video as well. Fantastic editing. 10/10 video

GT2 RS is not only about the show, it's about extraordinary function too..

“optically clever” it’s things like that lol love it

Why isnt Top Gear unscripted, this is so much more fun and interesting to watch then any other TV episode.

OK so here goes my personal Dream Team for Top Gear: Chris Harris Henry Catchpole Jethro Bovingdon

THE CAR! THE ENTHUSIASM! THE PRODUCTION! Amazing! I had freaking goosebumps and a smile throughout the whole vid!

This is so good, I just watched it for the third time. I love Chris Harris.

"These alcantara steering wheels get a bit munged up. You know? They've got too much DNA in them from other people." ROFLMA! That's an epic quote about Alcantara. Hate Alcantara -- especially on the steering wheel.

That thing is mental! Mind blowing it lapped quicker than a 918 Spyder, LaFerrari, and P1. Just staggering!

I love race lap footage without stupid music all over it

Now THIS is a real car channel. And what a car! I just saw a friend's GT2 RS yesterday, took a bit of video, and I already love the car. A proud moment for Porsche owners!

Life is simple: I see Chris Harris and a Porsche i press like

This is how you should review a car like this, awesome job Chris, no crap just going fullout. I like the rear of the 918 but the front should be like this 911 GT2 RS MR, that would make that car the best looking Porsche ever.

After watching Harris, I feel like I know the car. I’ve been lucky to drive a few of the cars he’s reviewed (not on the track except once) and he’s spot on, although he can extract far more from the car than I’ll ever dream. A true auto journalist for true car people.

I've driven the standard 991.2 GT2 RS and it's difficult to imagine making it better. Awesome video and well done MR!

the man does all the drift glitz but when miller time's over he takes care of business

1.49.53 was the laptime, incredible stuff! If you watched the Grand Tour you will remember they took the 918, P1, and LaFerrari around this same track with a former Formula 1 driver, and those 3 didn't go under 1.55.00 (fastest was the 918 with 1.55.20). The GT2 RS MR smoked them by a good 5 seconds. Just goes to show how far we've come since 2013

Up there with the best Chris Harris Drives vids of all time. Great work from all involved.

Having been lucky enough to get 12 laps in the passenger seat of a ‘standard’ GT2 RS a week or so ago at Oulton Park, I can’t imagine what this must be like. Outrageous! Great video

Great to see Harris back to his old style (and best). Seriously great car n video too . 🔥

Chris Harris kills every review he does. Absolutely a pleasure to watch!

Chris is a legend now. Every manufacturer wants Chris driving their car, and everyone wants his videos. Chris has come from a private RU-vid video, to gentleman racer, to serious race car driver in 24hr events around the world. Chris has a way explaining and speaking about the experience of driving a car... Like no other.

Portimao, the new Nurburgring. 😂 🇵🇹 Fantastic video. Love the enthusiasm. 👌

Oh goodness Chris, great run as ever. Neil Carey and Chris Waterfield, great work on the editing and footage!

Another amazing review from Chris Harris....Really enjoyed that

I like the way Chris is driving - it´s like smooth sailing. Fast and smooth. Kudos.

Whenever I have enough money to comfortably afford one of these cars, I'm buying a Porsche.

Engineering mastery meets driving talent, utterly brilliant.

1:35 into that hot lap. Around 6:30 in to the video. That catch, mid corner! Exemplary sir! Epic driving!!!

porsche magnificent as always, and chris, there´s no better car journalist than him ps: what a great vid top gear.

It's amazing what Porsche can do with a 6 cylinder twin T engine against the multi-million pounds v12, v10, v8 twin turbos of this world and still come out on top.

Pretty amazing these road cars are getting close to GT3 lap times. The Huracan GT3 I believe has that series' lap record with a 1:46.2.

13:50 The speed that car was achieving on the Nurburgring......bloody hell! Puckered up!

Honestly, for my money, Chris Harris is the best in the biz. I am a hard core old school Top Gear guy and still love those guys, so this means a lot from me. Chris is just soo good and no one is close. Bravo.

Top Gear might as well let The Stig move over to The Grand Tour. Because they now have Chris Harris. And there's no need for them to have two Stigs.

The level of technical knowledge that C. Harris has is absolutely mind-blowing. I think he's by far the best car reviewer on the planet right know. He has a professional driver's level of knowledge and also drives like a pro. I believe no other car reviewer in the world can set a lap time faster than Chris Harris and produce such an outstanding material for a car review like this. Not even Clarkson.

I like the fact that they've started to return to a more factual, subject-driven programm like it was with Tiff Niedell and younger Jeremy in the '70s & '80s. If they were to keep trying to do ludicrous challenges and extraordinary things they would just end up being compared to the Hammond, May, Clarkson era, and they couldn't possibly hold a candle to that. This way they're more authentic, fill their own niche and stay dignified by doing something original and not copying something that worked in past. The original trio caught lightning in a bottle, and their chemistry still works wonderfully on the Grand Tour, so it's nice that the Top Gear programm starts to recognize this, doesn't try so hard anymore and knows what it is: a car programm. This way they might be able to step out of the shadow of the original trio and become their own. Authenticity, especially in these times of comeback tours, reboots and sequels is warmly welcome and appreciated. Let's hope they realize this and keep going in a more thoughtful manner.

3 years on, this car is, in my mind the single best accomplishment, by a manufacturer and after market creator. This car, for me, is still that which wet dreams are made off. And, great interview with Lars too! He is so down to earth.

The best thing that came out of the end of the original top gear FOR ME, was the discovery of Chris Harris. I know he's here probably for quite some time, but as I'm from Czech Republic (non English speaking country) I had no idea he exists. And thankfuly, NOW I KNOW! And I'm glad...

I truly love the design of this car. If driving regularly and not track I would def lose the wing but overall I love it.

This Porsche + Chris = unbeatable 👍

Glad to see you put in a proper lap instead of just wasting tires the entire video. Helluva machine!

Wow, what a superb piece of Television production: Camera shots, light, drone, post production, audio, story and content..superb

Porsche is insane, they really want kill mclaren lambos an ferrari, porsche is the goat right now, porsche and mclaren

Manthey Racing ... A bit of the "Green Hell" every time you start your car! ...the old top gear guys would HATE it lol!

One of the best car videos I've ever watched. Well done.

Porsche is too good at making cars so carry on.

6:30 Chris Harris does an actual poo in his "undercrackers"

McLaren Senna lap at Portimao please. Seems a worthy opponent to this!

I could watch Chris Harris forever. His enthusiasm for his job, is magnified in his reviews. Love it..

Nice to see chris drive a car like this properly and not just slide around every corner, hes definitely got some skill.

Thanks Chris for this awesome video. Porsche and Manthey are simply the best.

Domyos shirt for the win mate. Nice GT2 RS MR by the way.

Chris Harris is - by far - my favorite car reviewer. He's no poser; he's no snob. He knows his job is to tell us envious slobs what fun it is to have considerable driving talent and get to sample the best.

I was incredibly fortunate to sit in the passenger seat whilst Lars drove my 2019 GT3rs on Michelin Cup R’s for a full session at Phillip Island GP circuit in Australia last weekend. Apart from being an epic driver and showing me what my car can really do, he is an absolute gentleman and an unbelievable instructor. One of the best driver experiences I’ve had (& I’ve been fortunate enough to have a few). Lars and Porshe, what a combination.

So, why would you want Jeremy Clarkson back? Chris is the man for car enthusiasts

When you see Chris Harris drifting Porsche 911 GT2 RS MR, world is just a better place.

Dude answered the tyre question as if he was highly insulted 🤣. Unfortunately no matter how fantastic a car can be it will always be limited by the tyre so inasmuch as he didn’t want to give the tyre its justified credit (or did so begrudgingly) it still should be praised. Well done Mitchelin! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Awesome we love Chris Harris. Great editing as well!
