I love how he’s so careful as to not break the speed limit…. And when he does it edits to another shot…. 🤣
Some things just shouldn’t get pointed-out.
He mentioned that you can enjoy the GT3 in 1st and 2nd gear and you have to be careful. I read on Rennlist forums about someone stepping on it and when he looked down at the speedometer he was shocked that his GT3 was going 130mph! The GT3 is amazing but I could not enjoy it because I will be afraid to get a ticket. Even accelerating fast can get you a ticket.
I was about to mention that!
i figured thats what that was 😂
It took me till the end to realize his lol im like my guy?? what are you doing?!
This is how car interiors should be made. Perfect balance between buttons and digital screens.
Yep the world would be such a fun place if everything was made the same exact way
Ikr, looks so clean
The Cayman GT4/ GT4 RS Interior is the best interior in any car you can buy right now. I’d get the GT4 RS over the GT3 just because of it
And a rattle in your right ear
i think it looks really plasticy i much prefer the interior of older 90s ish luxury cars with more leather and woods but the ratio of buttons and screens is definitely how it should be in this car
Those shifts look effortless, also I'm loving the shots in between jail speeds.
Lmao yea
I'm not the biggest fan of their lineup, but absolutely no one crafts a better-or at least a more satisfying-gear box than Porsche.
BMW has nothing on Porsche transmissions
@@rhatala27 facts
@@rhatala27 speaking from experience, your damn right
Porsche just keeps pushing the boundaries further and further.
As a keeps pushing prices up and up
@@andresmattos7541 and everyone will keep paying
@@andresmattos7541 but at least they gave it an oil hole right? I mean, you still can't access the engine though
"supercar" of high middle class
Porsches are more of an all-rounder as compared to Ferrari and Lamborghini which are purely track-oriented
Literally my dream car right here 🤤
You’ll get it stay positive
@@Jmoneyy365 Thank you 🙏🏾 I’m a somewhat poor medical student now, but I do feel this dream can be a reality if I stick with this grind and make wise decisions along the way (especially since buying a $150k car is likely not a wise decision 😂)
You’ll never get it
@@Schinzo__ 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Bp2181991 it doesn’t have to be wise or unwise what matters is you accomplished your dream ❤️❤️
I can’t even put into words how infatuated I am with this car, my biggest stressor in life is trying to figure out how to afford one
I have always fancied the GT3 over its more hardcore sibling the RS. The one I would go for is the 991.1 GT3 in lava red with the 3.8L
it truly is a heavenly piece of machinery. Been obsessed with this car for months 😩
It’s thrilling for a few weeks then it’s just uncomfortable, loud, and unpractical. But 20 years ago I had the same thoughts and their was know one telling me different.😂. Honestly I’ve had them all and the most fun was a 2018 Golf R in manual. But I’m the old geezer that doesn’t know anything. At least that would be my thought back then.
@@houlester it’s just a fair opinion. My dad is 50 still drives his mk2 gti with lowering springs/stiffer dampers and medium loud exhaust to work. Even though he owns 2 new Audie’s. Those are used for weekends and family trips. A gt3 would be a dream to daily for me. It’s far more comfortable than my daily. Only thing that might be a hinderance is the beautiful note it produces when you decide to drive hard and your on public streets.
@@matviyk3066 It's a nice car. I had a 2017 GT3 with the sport bucket seats and PDK then ordered a 2020 Cayman GT4 with manual. They are all nice and were a great experience. I would say the most fun for me was the Cayan GT4 Manual. If I drove one everyday it would be the Turbo S. I drive a Tesla Plaid now and I'm absolutely floored by how fast and comfortable it is. I do have the itch for a manual car for something fun. So I'm in the search. ( - :
12:27 that 1-2 shift was spot on. Love just go-kart like this GT3 is yet it's still livable.
No, he shifts really slow honestly
No electric car can come close to the emotional and visceral feel of this car great review. Really looking forward in about 6 months to your review of the Mustang Dark Horse
Even the Big 3 cars (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi) are beaten by the 911 and it even has the capabilities to beat Ferraris and Lambos
My dream car. I built a sim rig just so I could drive the Porsche GT3. A poor substitute, but better than nothing.
mate i hope you get to own one someday
20:18 Best part! That engine singing to 9000 RPM really is quite a cool sound!
Thanks! I was looking for this moment
32:08
Single greatest part of this video is watching the pure joy from The Topher. He deserves this moment.
Really appreciate this review.
I can tell I’ve officially become an old curmudgeon. Watching the shifting, hearing the ‘need’ to rev and seeing just how locked-down this car is…exhausted me. And I’ve owned six manual cars many years back that had not 1/4 the power.
Truth be told, within the first few rips I instantly concluded, “Yep, 911 Turbo S, forever.”
If I could have my 40’s brain and my 20’s body, this thing would be nirvana for me. But since time always wins, I’d go for the Turbo and happily die whenever it’s decided I do.
Thanks for putting us in the driver’s seat.
PDK/DCT might shift fast but you cannot compare the driving enjoyment per dollar of a good manual gearbox.
You said it. And yes, a good manual box. Short, firm throws, with almost no slop. Otherwise I'd prefer an auto or pdk type box.
That's fair. Personally I'd go for PDK for speed and convenience.
It really depends on the manual transmission if it's well tweaked or not , otherwise, I would rather get an automatic transmission.
@@beautifulday1665 well it depends on auto aswell,there a lot of slushboxes
@@cymbaldestroyer594 true👍
Wow. This car is nuts. It took those turns at great speed with ease (great use of B roll😂) I know this would be great fun on the track. Seems like you have to hold back a lot on the streets. Great video! The GTS intrigued me.
My jaw dropped when you showed the first profile shot. German engineering at its finest. Hope to drive a Porsche one day!
70 mph on entrance ramps, thats insanity. Even over 80 mph on one of thee less sharper turns, which is ridiculous.
shhhhhhhh the speedometer was blurred so actually you cant even say what he was going, i think he was going 30mph driving conservatively!
Not to brag but I do this in a e36. Gotta say I am at about 5% grip left though lmao.
Having buckets will make you even more confident, it sure made me feel grip strength better.
Epic video. Drove a 991.2 GT3 PDK recently and your video does a really good capturing the visceral experience of driving one of these. I can still feel that steering!
Whether it be an old boxster or a new gt3 Porsche driving dynamics will always keep me with this company
Love that from you 👊
Well said!
@@Gasser24769 same colour car lol🙌
@@ivegotkids8455 TaY can SIICK
me too! oh wait, im poor. i drive hondas :D
Thank you for taking us along for the ride 🙏
That flat natural sound is music to my ear!! Thank you for another great vid!!
Man I am addicted to your channel you just go straight to the point
I'd like to thank you Topher for making this video half an hour long, an incredible car with some great driving
One of the best impression videos ive seen so far, really enjoyed this :)
Absolutely incredible video Chris! The Porsche 911 GT3 has one of, if not the BEST six cylinder engine sound ever! I absolutely loved the sound!!
Porsche 911s is my dream car as well, after seeing how the suspension handles in the roads, I realized something is special about these cars.
Toph my man. I understand the cuts when you start to really get on it. But man, does it really take away from the experience. I know you’ve played with blurring the speed, why the decision to continue with the hard B-roll cuts?
I agree. This really got on my nerves.
The video is very good, but I could have loved it more with uncensored acceleration.
pretty sure it has to do with his speed
I love the interior design, so simple yet elegant.
Your channel is absolute heaven for regular gearheads like myself, who will probably never get to touch a car like this. Absolute dream of a car, the GT3. I've been drooling over them since the Top Gear episode that puts the 996 GT3 RS vs the F360 Challenge Stradale.
That’s the best introduction video of the new GT3 2022 I have seen. The only thing what I missed was the Sport Exhaust button. The manual choice is the correct one, I have sold my former Porsche 991 with PDK to get a manual back. You are more connected with the car by manual gears & more fun to drive. Well done
Oh man...the sound 😳🔥 It's so good
Keep up the good work man, after all these POV on youtube, I think you are the best one!
porche knocked it out the park with this one! the design, interior, infotainment system, interior sounds, you name it they nailed it 🔥
Perfection on 4 wheels. There is nothing better than a GT3 manual
Turbo S is right there with it. Turbo S to cruise around in, GT 3 to have fun shifting in.
pdkk is better
Love the GT3 🔥 Hoping to own a Porsche sometime in the future! For now I’m loving my Type R and wouldn’t trade it for anything other than a Porsche for driving experience alone 👏🏾
This car is just perfection the sound, interior, exterior, shifting, digital screens look so good better than any other car ❤
that quick rim sighting was a beaut
This is legit my dream car. I don't care about super/hyper cars, this is what I want.
Beautiful video. I like how you showed all the handy features and how you have driven this beautiful pice of art named 911 Porsche GT3. Thank you 🤗
This car is A TREMENDOUS ULTIMATE MEGA SPORTS DRIVING MACHINE!!! This are simply perfect racing feeling for any race driver!!! Thanks @TheTopher for share that POV of that GT3 a symphony that make me CRY 😭 literally!!! And thank Porsche to still making the stick shift as the best drivers principal mechanical element that pilot get involved!!!
Another Great video Topher! Have always Loved the 911! I’m more of a Turbo S guy! But love the GT3 also!
Great video. It really gives a feel for what the car is like in person. Makes me want to go drive my Civic Si on some on-ramps and pretend it’s a GT3.
Lol 😝👌
My favorite motor sound is a flat plane crank V8, but this H6 is something equally beautiful. Glorious!
Great videos. Very enjoyable. Also, love the speedy
Great video! Looks and sounds like a TON of fun. GT3s are absolute perfection in the automotive paradigm and I am positive we'll reflect on them as such when electric cars (sigh) are more the norm.
Great video. The engine sounds is infinitely better with the windows open. Might be one of those cars you crank the heat up in the winter so you can leave the windows cracked!
It all started here i whatched this video 10 months ago and since then i have become a porsche fan and will continue to be. 👍👍
I just had a dream i was driving one of these and i had to youtube a clip. Perfect video for what i needed. 😂
It’s sounds. Perfect.
doing 70+ on a decreasing radius ramp with a posted caution speed of 25mph is INSANE
It just doesn't get any better than this.
I was watching this while on the road and the sound quality was so good I was looking around for a solid 2 minutes trying to find what car was making that noise just to find out it was the video all along
the traction when it steers is perfect
Definitely a monster and you can't go wrong with a manual transmission. awesome car!
not a fan of those exterior shots during the accelerations
Currently im studying for the bar exam and its veru hard ! So thank u for motivation ! This is my dream car !
love coming back here everyday seeing my dream car being driven
What a beautiful car. What an amazing brand. What a great driver
Lighter than the Gr Corolla is an amazing stat!!! The GT3 is driving perfection.
10:06 oh my god.... i can't stop rewatching this
I went with the 992-Turbo S -nicer ride ,instant turbo power ,AWD with 4 wheel steering puts power down so well exiting turns on track / canyons ,the 640 hp shortens straights on track
Negatives- does not wind to 9,000 RPM ,heavy , 20-21 inch wheels means no DOT or slicks available for track days
I love this car, this is my dream car. Sadly with electric becoming so big, i fear that I may never be able to drive one in my life.
Would be a shame if you, and other people, can't buy a car with an internal combustion engine (IC engine) in the future. An electric vehicle is an example of governments and companies replacing things that people love with crappier versions of those things just because they think that's the solution to a earth-wide crisis. To be honest, companies, governments and ESPECIALLY the United Nations, instead of banning people from buying/discontinuing new cars with an IC engine, should accept and embrace new technologies (Such as synthetic gasoline/diesel made from captured C02 and sustainable energy) and continue/continue to allow selling cars with IC engines as well as electric vehicles.
Same man
Damn those downshifts sound sublime. What a car.
what a dream. nice choice with the manual. looks beautiful
bruh this is LIFE.... driving sports cars as a youtuber, what a godlike career
Bucket list car for sure. I'd love to take one of these up to the mountains.
You know its a great car when you're going 50 in first gear 😆
That's so cool! I love how much space you have over there too, I wanna move somewhere like that
Excellent vid... the magical sounds !! so nice
Well it doesn’t get any better than that 🤩
A mechanical symphony… Until something expensive breaks.
I don’t know which is better. The car or the review? Perfect video!
GT3 Manual is just perfect
Sounds like you’re driving a video game, I love it! Bucket list car!
Thank you for actually talking us through a ride in that car. Amazing machine!
The way the manual integrates with the interior makes it look like an afterthought
I really don't understand your reasoning here. Porsche deliberately made the PDK shifter in the GT3 models almost identical in style to a manual stick (Topher even mentioned this in the review). And yet you are saying the PDK shifter is perfectly integrated and suited to the interior design but the look-alike manual stick clashes somehow and looks out of place? This makes no sense.
the sound at the start it's so peacefull
that interior is insanely clean 🔥🔥
gorgeous car
Phenomenal car, as expected. I am afraid a week in one of these would ruin me for pretty much any other sports car. I am happy for you but also sorry for you, Topher. 😅
The sound is incredible.
This is my „if I ever get the money to buy one, it’s this one“ car… god damn, this car is the pinnacle of cars imo.
you’re driving my dream car 😢
Awesome POV. How does the shifter feel vs the S2000 or FK8 Type R?
S2000 shifter > GT3 shifter. I have an AP1 and 991.2 touring and the s2000 is still quite a bit better
porsche interior is the best ive ever seen. the steering wheel is just perfect. Only what you need is in there.
Awesome shifter and a true sports car!
wow...Lighter than the GR Corolla..That's wild
12:20 , 15:56 . My fav thing is always getting it cookin in 1st gear, and that 1 - 2 gear shift. Just such a highlight to my day. 😂 The soundsss. From dead silence, to just absolute heavenly noises. 😎 I loveee how this car looks. Porsche always does great things. And they didn't fail here. I love the rear of this car the most. That wing is such an interesting design, and it grew on me. Hated it at first, but love it, and those tail lights! 😎
My favorite looking Porsche is still the 991 GT3 RS. But when it comes to looks, 991 GT3 vs 992 GT3 ... I'm having a tough time choosing. They are both so good. Might go 992 because the design is more aggressive and they really went for it, to try something different. I hope to see more comparisons on RUclips between this car, and the 991 GT3 manual.
i had an '02 corvette that would salivate in the 45-50 mph range in 1st, waiting for second. i'd love to experience this, knowing the high would be much greater. just amazing to think how much faster this is, because that vette was a case of... time to let off the accelerator as i went into 3rd.
Good job, great video, keep it up!
5 months later and that shift sequence 24:56 is still so crispy
Awesome vid, but would rather you blur the speedometer than cut to b roll every time you hit 100 lol. We wanna see the action.
The GT3 has perhaps one of the best, if not the very best, new modern sports car NA engines still available. But Topher also needs to experience the 17,500 RPM redline glory of a Yamaha R6 motorcycle…
That’s just scary dude
RIP R6.
Love the content bro..keep it up.
Nice driving man
I love how you alternate to b roll anytime u accelerate past 60😂
Not a fan on how you are cutting out the spirited drives on the ramps. Probably my favorite part of your videos and now I can’t see it 👎🏾
Sound + Manual = Chill
i was drooling the entire time nice video
Tires on the gauge cluster look a little bit low. Service soon? Want to keep those puppies at 100.
that sound!!! I'm in love. dream car
Every time you hit 9k rpm I shiver and I get goosebumps. EVERY TIME
Clean driving and a crazy sound for your viewers. Thanks a lot
