What a great video, super entertaining, thank you! All the complainers baffle me, those complaining say they don’t drive on the track, there are thousands of road tests on RUclips. This is one where they can legally push the cars to their limits. Just because you don’t go on the track doesn’t mean it isn’t a great entertaining video. How many videos are there on RUclips of people doing things with cars that you’d never do, or with cars you could never afford… and they’re fantastic. Take this for what it is, great drivers who know their stuff, driving amazing cars around a stunning track. I’m thankful there’s content like this out there for free…. Washing machine has just finished, got to get the stuff in the drier before my wife gets home so I’ll end it there. You’re very welcome ❤
Today's enormous, overweight and luxurious high-performance cars have never stopped me from terribly missing my primitive, light and direct Toyota AE86 I had when was young. And that's why I still ride a sport bike for fun, drive a cheap small SUV for commute, grocery shopping and don't feel like missing anything at all.
CARmagazine, what an amazing video! The choice of contenders was just perfect. Your driving reviews are some of the best out there. I would go for Aston Martin Vantage on looks alone ;) As for proper driving machine, I think you cant beat Porshe 911 S/T, and I was really surprised to see what the Hyundai N division was able to do with the Ioniq 5N, a proper driver EV, would love to see how Porsche Taycan Turbo GT would perform at this test?
The Tremek of the Dark Horse trasmission is better than the Ford M82 unit used for the GT. It's shorter, has a more mechanical feeling and it's clear and smooth. I hope you will test it
Well 911 ST isn’t a contender as its not available…apart from a flipper at significant premium…but even if you could the Aston just looks sublime, sexy, stylish, sophisticated with plenty of speed…so Aston will do..Thanks
@@markpass4215 the Aston is the sexiest, agree with you there; but the S/T is a very very special unicorn. Comparing the two, Aston is turbo, so the sound is (subjectively) worse, the throttle response is worse, and it’s redline is 2K fewer revs. The S/T is the only car in the world right now with a single mass flywheel from the factory, and it revs like a Carrera GT or LFA. The S/T is 420kg lighter (925 pounds!!) and the second lightest car Porsche currently produces (the manual base Boxster is 16 pounds lighter at 3040lbs). The Aston is just shy of 4K pounds, it’s a boat. The S/T is manual, and a shining example of a manual at that. Does Aston make any manuals outside of the limited edition Valour? The S/T has lightened every single point of rotating and reciprocating mass/unsprung mass: from Ti conrods, to carbon ceramic brakes, to magnesium wheels, and carbon fiber aero-sculpted double wishbone suspension; the Aston is a (sexy af) grand tourer with a muted AMG turbo engine, with noted turbo lag, and there’s arguably nothing special about the powerplant, or the car, outside of a banger of a design. My 2 cents
If you can afford an ST new, you can afford to buy one flipped. Honestly, what does it matter if it costs £250,000 or £400,000? Both are beyond my budget, but the ST is totally buyable so totally relevant. The price is the price, you take it or leave it.
What is all this about needing to see what gear you’re in?…Before digital displays did you need to look down at the gear lever pattern to tell you? Can’t you feel it?..remember it?…. Is it a sign of Too much time on video games?
I assume you that avid racing game fans know exactly what gear they're in without looking. It's a weird critique and I agree with you totally that it's a non issue.
I agree, ST was made for collectors and I love the induction noise on the GT4RS and Spider RS. All the videos don't capture the actual induction sound, and I drove one with a full aftermarket exhaust. Almost blew my eardrums out once the valves opened and the engine started sucking in air.
@@Mr995pippo the Spyder RS is actually 158 lbs heavier than the S/T, and that’s ONLY if you option the Weissach package AND the carbon ceramic brakes AND magnesium wheels… those save 154lbs (+88 +44 +22lbs respectively); it would be 312lbs heavier comparing stock vs stock.
I can't help but think that these tests could use price tiers so as to offer categories which are more relatable. The Aston Martin, Porsche, and McLaren are essentially exotics; a GR Yaris, Subaru BRZ, Honda Civic Type R etc are much more relevant to most enthusiasts of the Millennial or Gen Z persuasion. I'd enjoy seeing a lineup of the latter cars just as much, probably. I'm not looking for 650hp in a street car, especially if I have to pay for gas!! ⛽😄
Ooooh tough choice but it would be between the 911 and the Aston for me as it's just so beautiful. I think the Aston by the whiskery of whiskers. Great review, I enjoyed this a lot. Its really interesting to see how cars like these compare on track - the turn in on the Mclaren was extraordinary !
My dream car , which I own is a 1990 twin turbo 300zx manual It is so precious to me that I could not , would not even try to drive it like this on a track A spirited drive on quiet country lanes is heaven. This is the test a Huron should be doing to be relative to life and what it actually offers
The S/T is marketing over substance - 991.2 GT3 touring is just as good - in essence the S/T is recognition the 992.1 GT3 touring was a bit too stiffly sprung, made worse by a quicker rack than the 991 series. Not a fan of any 992 tbh.
Aston is just a looker and filthy. The interior now sorted....that's the one for me. Go right down to a dealer and they'd love to sell you one for not over sticker specced in whatever iconoclast interior leather you would like or straight 007 spec.
I don’t understand why you have to drive them with the tail smoking the tyres. No one drives like that on the road and after doing 50 track days I can tell you that no one drives like that on the track because it’s wasteful and dangerous. It’s a pity you don’t just show good lines and balance with the cars.
Well I’ll never get that Aston or Porsche, the nomad seems like the most fun toy to me, so I’d take that first.m(even though it’s still out of my budget).. to each his own.
I think the test needs to be more realistic. Many of the cars are very expensive or in a few cases simply unavailable (you would need to buy a load of clunky Porsche EVs before they would even give you a brochure for a ST). This rules out the 911. Other ownership factors are important. Too many questions are left unanswered. Do they have too much unrepairable weighty tech, what is the fuel economy, the resale values, the usability / performance away from the race track, whether the dealers can manage the complexity (increasingly even simple Volkswagen hybrids take months to repair)...? Car Magazine should take such factors into account imho. The list should be rather Cayman, Alpine, Corolla GR, Mazda MZ-5 etc.
I was struggling with the relevance of the track as well. Personally for a sports car I don't car about "daily driving merits" as @Blas4ublasphemy referenced. However, I do all my driving on public roads. Bumpy back roads with lots of undulation and blind corners where you'd never want to break the rear lose is where I live when I go out to drive for pleasure. This type of track is too different from that for me to really get a feel for how the cars would be in that type of environment. That would be a much harder video to make so I understand why they don't do it. This one big reason why I love Harry's Garage because he's always testing cars on "normal" roads.
@jmmch3358 60K miles on my '22 BRzz with $20K in mods. Love it as much as my Evora. Funny how the internet isn't real life. But neither is as fun as my Elise. But a K24 swap might change everything. 86 is the lightest/stiffest unibody NA RWD manual stiff coupes in history under 3000 lbs. I've owned the other 3. 991 3.4/Cayman 987/RX8. That's it. But most of you aren't ready for chassis tech talk. Don't say MX5/S2000. Body flex sucks and so does excess weight 🏎🍻
Well a good review of some fabulous cars, warm flat track only not so good, I wouldn’t spend £42K on a Golf which let’s face VW with all it’s knowledge could set up in their sleep, great audio in track conditions, even in the red pipe car ?

Difficult to get excited about any of them. They're all big and heavy, or very expensive, or ugly. Not a single one is small, light, beautiful and reasonably priced, which shouldn't be such a high bar for this category.
As much as the reviewers love the 911 ST, it's not a fair comparison to include it when it's unobtainable... you just can't walk into a showroom and buy one. That shouldn't be a reflection on CAR Magazine, but more so on Porsche for punting this car about to all automotive journalists to review. Why build the perfect car and then not let people buy it.
@@afrikengunner I'm pretty sure beautiful N/A V8 in V8 Vantage (1st gen) has nothing to do with bmw ugliness. It's an evolution of Ford/Jag efforts. Don't even bring garbage bmw in the same sentence with Aston lol
Driving a Porsche you talk about the positives, driving the others you talk about the negatives. Is this the way to do a road test? We should stop this attitude on the net talking loudly against it
If the suspension is anything like my previous 992 touring it’s too harsh for uk roads so for me even if I had the opportunity to purchase a st it wouldn’t be my choice maybe the 992t is the better car ?
If you told me 10 years ago that the car I would most like to drive, even more than McLaren's first hybrid since the P1, was a Full EV Hyundai with fake 4cyl noise and fake gears I would have laughed in your face.
If only McLaren could back up their cars with a comprehensive 6 year warranty and top notch customer service, then Artura should really be the one to buy.
Your editor who thinks the Darkhorse isn’t that different for the money, is completely wrong. It is nearly a different car, particularly when optioned out.
I do think it has to be said that as heavy as the Hyundai is it is quite a bit lighter than an Audi RS6 Avant or the current BMW M5 Touring. This is the world we live in now.
What do you mean regardless of price dude price is the number 1 measure of the value of the performance of the car that's why the gr Yaris a few years back was raved about....also no road segment is dumb as none of these cars will ever be driven on track for value and warranty related reasons and learn to close the doors before taking glam shots of the cars. As for the mustang what do you mean you didnt think the difference is big enough? shod a car with ps4s and cup2s and lets see how different it is and the gearbox is different in dark horse cause its tremec and as i have tried them back to back the difference is noticiable.
The Mustang GT doesn't deserve to be in the show, you should have brought in the Mustang Dark Horse and the Corvette Z06 both with their track package.
Alll these cars, bar a few, and together the whole car industry, head in the wrong direction. We want less of everything in what concerns size, weight, cost, driver assistance and driver interference and complexity. There is no need for more engine performance than what an Alpine A110 or a Cayman 981 S offers but I'll extend that to 981.1 or 981.2 GT4. Make sure we can have a normal aspirated and a 3 pedal sports car rather than a handicapped one even if PDK faster. And don't dial down on safety eg crash protection. Give us what we want and give us what we can buy. CAR magazine's effort to put up heat another mega test is appreciated but most of these cars have got zero appeal for various and different reasons. And for some odd reason a McLaren Artura doesn't even come across as aspirational maybe because subconsciously all I can think of it is a Big Bag of Bills...
You should test drive the Camaro SS1LE and ZL1, Mustangs (Dark Horse, Mach l, Shebly GT350R and GT500 CFTP), C8 Corvette Z06 (Z07 package), and the Viper ACR.
@Ponyreiter Dark Horse & C8 Z06 are still in production. And it doesn't matter if they aren't in production, you can still get them on the used market and have an oustanding performance for what they cost even able to beat many expensier european sport cars at the track.
Sports cars can't be too powerful because then it isn't a sports car. It becomes a supercar or a muscle car. The Aston vantage is not a sports car because it is too powerful. The Vantage is a supercar or a muscle car
Some muscle cars can be sportscars and so on and so forth. I'd consider the Aston more of a hybrid between a supersports and a super GT now, it's not full on supercar ergonomically, neither is it as nimble but it's close.
Far more performance, more capable, more fun, better built, with better infotainment than the Mustang. That's how. The Mustang is incredible value though.
Of course British journalists are going to get the best versions of the other cars and get a non track package mustang without a tremec or magniride lol
Which car is your favourite?
(1) Artura, (2) Bimmer and (3) the S/T is marketing over substance - 991.2 GT3 touring is just as good.

500 doesn’t sound like much excuse me 😂😅
"without further or do"??
😂😂 I could have wrote the result down and not watch the video. The car you can’t buy won! Pointless
M4 cs and ST. Mclaren are too go- karty for me. Way too harsh and really bad quality interior
Since the beginning of RUclips time...911
Including a Kia EV is ballsy. That's the kinda stuff that will get you unsubscribed!
Alll these cars, bar a few, and together the whole car industry, head in the wrong direction. We want less of everything in what concerns size, weight, cost, driver assistance and driver interference and complexity. There is no need for more engine performance than what an Alpine A110 or a Cayman 981 S offers but I'll extend that to 981.1 or 981.2 GT4. Make sure we can have a normal aspirated and a 3 pedal sports car rather than a handicapped one even if PDK faster. And don't dial down on safety eg crash protection. Give us what we want and give us what we can buy. CAR magazine's effort to put up heat another mega test is appreciated but most of these cars have got zero appeal for various and different reasons. And for some odd reason a McLaren Artura doesn't even come across as aspirational maybe because subconsciously all I can think of it is a Big Bag of Bills...
You should test drive the Camaro SS1LE and ZL1, Mustangs (Dark Horse, Mach l, Shebly GT350R and GT500 CFTP), C8 Corvette Z06 (Z07 package), and the Viper ACR.
Most of the cars you named are not longer in production... 🤷♂
@Ponyreiter Dark Horse & C8 Z06 are still in production. And it doesn't matter if they aren't in production, you can still get them on the used market and have an oustanding performance for what they cost even able to beat many expensier european sport cars at the track.
@jmmch3358 But they are not 2024 performance cars, except those two... 🤷♂️
Porsches, BMWs are the original ones....the aston is just a fancy skinned Mercedes Benz
This is the first time I've ever heard anyone say they prefer the MT82 over the Tremec 6 speed in the Mustang lol.
I strongly oppose those super priced and unavailable cars being tested with the normal ones.
Sports cars can't be too powerful because then it isn't a sports car.
It becomes a supercar or a muscle car.
The Aston vantage is not a sports car because it is too powerful.
The Vantage is a supercar or a muscle car
Some muscle cars can be sportscars and so on and so forth. I'd consider the Aston more of a hybrid between a supersports and a super GT now, it's not full on supercar ergonomically, neither is it as nimble but it's close.
How can the BMW cost two Mustangs?
And how can you have a winner you can't buy?
Far more performance, more capable, more fun, better built, with better infotainment than the Mustang. That's how. The Mustang is incredible value though.
It'd a bmw what kind of question is that? A mustang? 😂😂
@@Kelveron Sorry, disagree. I find German cars over-priced and utterly characterless. Each to his own
@@G82Watts Can't think of any Beemer ever made that I'd swap my Stang for!
Of course British journalists are going to get the best versions of the other cars and get a non track package mustang without a tremec or magniride lol
It’s the car Ford supplied to us. Neither option you mention would have impacted the result.
