- Driving the Porsche 911 GT3, Aston Martin V12 Vantage S, and Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series is a special occasion indeed. Which is best for the track and on the road, and which one would you have?

These old videos are still Harris’s best work. Driving the cars was the centerpiece, rather than trying to make sense of modern fast cars.
3 of my favorite cars in a 28 minute review by my favorite auto journalist. Fuck yeah.
Gotta say, I've never been the biggest Porche fan because of the looks, but CH is doing a damn good job of selling it. That engine noise is just orgasmic and I love the burbling on the overrun. Superb!
He sold me on them a year or two ago. I wasn't the biggest fan until I saw him giggling like a school girl in his gt3. After that I really needed to give them a real close look. Now I am a big fan. Now if only I could get the lottery to fall my way.
My god, that 9000 rpm redline gives me goosebumps.
Even though the Aston is the best looking, id take the GT3 in a heartbeat. Everything about it makes me lust after it soo much. Who could deny a 9000rpm free revving monster!!
Porsche= track car, AMG Black= Menacing daily driver, Aston= Sunday's best
aston is spending money to nothing
merc is better sundays car
its my opinion id win gt circuits with the gt3. id put fear in the hearts of tuners with the merc amg black and wear a suit to church in the aston in a better color and new wheels
Ehhh, I think you’ve got it twisted.. Porsche = Track, AMG - Weekend warrior, Aston - Elegant daily.. Even the filthy rich understand low volume. There’s not too many people who’d daily a Black Series.. The ride would send you to the chiropractor twice a week 🌚
Porsche= Track car, AMG Black= Very capable and practical sportscar, V12VS= Both a Track car and a Very capable practical sportscar
"...one of those rare talents that shines even brighter."
Chris Harris in a nutshell. Thank you so much for your videos, they are stellar in every aspect that I can think of. Keep 'em coming, we love them all.
BEST VIDEO EVER. BEST JOURNALIST EVER !
Its staggering that the 911 GT3 is the cheapest here, while being the best, in probably every way, by a probably very large margin.
on a track, undoubtedly. but astons aren't track cars. the vantage is more practical, more comfortable, more prestigious... all in all, on a track, the gt3 is it without a question, but in everyday use, the aston has the edge imo.
As a daily driver road car the GT3 is probably the worst of the 3. The Merc is arguably the best, being the most refined, the steel brakes being better when cold under slow driving conditions, and the Aston is just as refined. The GT3 might be a bit too aggressive for that sort of thing. A better rival for the aston and merc would be the porsche turbo, which is also a better car.
+givemeajackson Some people don't mind having more road noise and a harder suspension for a faster every day car. More people I think will sacrifice a little bit of speed to ride in comfort and still be pretty fast.
Chris Harris, probably the only Baller who can say, I flew (yes flew) a GT3, V12 Vantage and a C63 AMG BS on the same day.
almost 30 mins of chris, hell yea!!!!
I was like.. 28 minutes .. ill skip to the gt3 scenes.. and then I fall in the Chris Harris magic .. So nice to watch.
Cracking review. Long videos from chris harris are so watchable unlike other reviewers!
I really wish you guys all the best! Love the series!
the best British Auto Journalist ever chris and hammond tiff
All nice looking cars, But I prefer the GT3 look any day of the week.
Always a blast to watch Chris drive and snicker from joy. Oh Mumbly!
How can he produce such awesome stuff with his budget every week? BBC, cancel Top Gear and hire this guy!
I really like the GT3. Astonishing looks, sweet performance and that sound...
Half hour Chris Harris video. YYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I don't understand why people always hate on the 911's looks. I think it looks utterly badass, especially from a 3/4 rear viewing angle
Should change your name to Bliss Harris because this was sublime.

Absolutely! GT3 every single time although the Aston is still a truly beautiful car.
This is probably the best Chris Harris on car ever! I couldn't believe myself when I realized that was gone half an hour watching it! It seemed to me 4 minutes! Thank you very much!
Finally a good long video with Chris! Made my day!
Your face when you drive Chris is telling everything. Everything !
The 911 looks so good ! I really think its the most complete 911, they've reached a peak, how can they make it better now?? I can't imagine it !
Best half hour I have spent watching cars in a while. Thanks Chris, Neil, Dan and Drive, great work.
Finally the Longer Chris Harris Reviews are BACK!!!
28 mins of Chris Harris, now that's what I call a good Wednesday!! Love the extended on-road footage and bonus points for squeezing a Trigger's broom reference into a car review!
Thank you, Chris. To be able to watch a half hour video for free with you and 3 cars of that calibre is a pleasure!
Drive please give Chris at least half hour maybe an hour to do reviews an u could take on top gear. It's worth thinking about coz this was the best thing I've seen all year. He is the reason u have so many subscribers!! Great job as always Chris
Top notch, as always! Thank you Chris for existing!
Thank you Harris as usual you are amazing driver and when u talk and drive i feel like i am driving the car
I'm so glad I was able to actually see the GT3 at this past years LA Auto Show. It is absolutely beautiful. It definitely looks much prettier in the flesh. I love the C63 & V12 Vantage. But there's just something about the Porsche that makes it the more desirable item to me. Oh how I want one so bad. Great review Chris !
30 minute Chris Harris video, day made.
"Look at me I watch top gear and I am hopping on the Jeremy Clarkson bandwagon of thinking porsche's are too boring and completely ignoring the fact that they are the most technically advanced, character filled, reliable, pretty, weapons on the road." - half the people on this page.
Watch his reactions, you can't fake that, it's quite clearly the complete opposite of boring.
Neil Carey, we have to thank you for such a beautiful photography ! Thank you !
Lovely lovely lovely. I still think it's incredible we are getting this level of videos, of the best cars out there, for free!
Absolutely immense video for the car lover. 29 minutes of pure, unadulterated automotive heaven, by a real journalist and enthusiast... best part about Drive by an absolute mile... Wednesdays... Chris Harris on Cars.
A wonderfully shot and edited video. A prime example why Chris is such a great motoring journo and true car lover. Keep them coming, it's the highlight of my week.
Goddamnit, Drive. I'm trying to work over here. Can you be more like Motortrend and post boring shit so I'm not obligated to watch?
ahaha dude :D thats right what i think about Motortrend lol :D ROFL
artujketube
hahaahahahahha that is nice one hahah xD
Ignition, roadkill and Hed2Head arn't bad at all. Carlos Lago is pretty good. Johnny is...interesting.
kirbyswarp Agreed, I love Lago. Would like to see him replace that "comedian" on the American Top Gear.
Pardon_M3 Lieberman is entertaining, as he looks drunk 75% of the time haha
This is one of those moments where I actually wish, I could give more than 1 like. Awesome, awesome video for awesome, awesome cars. Brilliant.
"BRAAHHHHHERRR!" said the AMG Mercedes on start up. That had me rolling on the ground laughing.
Chris Harris is so good at this. I love these videos!
Yet another great episode with Mr. Harris. Paddle shifters be damned. I'd take the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, the non-S model, because of the availability of a manual gearbox. Plus its a great GT car that can also do track duty. You just can't beat a V12 and rear wheel drive combo. Plus the looks alone would have me take one over both of the them. The Porsche is a precision track machine that really belongs on the track and of you are gonna go down the route of speed, why not just get the GTR for cheap and keep the Aston for everything else :p
Mmm lovely long video. Porsche sounds absolutely amazing.
Watching Chris drive is almost as exciting as driving the car myself; so much enthusiasm...
Always exciting seeing a new Chris Harris video, especially when it's half an hour long!
Magic..
Well done Christophe and team.
Love the Aston shape but, I'd have the Porsche too.. and maybe over a lot of years I have become condition to the shape and its changes.. but I think the current 991 model is a gorgeous looking car.. especially in white.
WF
Porshe without doubt. In fact short of a GT, the Porshe would be the one.
What a fantastic video. Better than Top Gear? Yes.
There isn't even room to compare.
Drive is on a roll today. So much goodness.
GT3 - what an ASTOUNDING engine sound! Perfect!
Brilliant. Thought provoking vids with huge skids, love it.
Shots with camera mounted over shoulder are amazing, please do more of that!
lol at deciding who drives what. That made me want to watch the rest of the video. Well done!
Excellent episode, perhaps the best yet. Videography... simply stunning
This was one of the best videos in a while because a) you've finally tested these (utterly awesome) cars one a welsh b-road as you did in older videos and b) because it felt much more passionate than latest releases.... all in all awesome work from our most favourite hoonigan!!
The flickering of the LEDs during those slow motion drift shots are amazing. Also, Porsche
30 minutes of Chris on our hump day - THANK YOU!
Well done! Imminently rewatchable!
So the Merc has been abused for 2 years when by the time this test was done and it was only 3 tenths of a second slower than a brand new Aston Martin V12 Vantage S with Pirelli Corsa tyres ?...I think that's sayin' something for itself.
The GT3 is better from a performance standpoint, but the Aston looks pretty sweet too
It's amazing that in a group test the Porsche is actually the least expensive one for once. And the best of the bunch as well, total win-win for Porsche. Go GT3!!
CH is a magician. His ability behind the wheel is matched by his ability to describe in a most engaging way what he is doing and feeling.
Porsche GT3! The unobtainium of the real world and the PC Sim world! Something has got to give, I want to drive one so freaking bad! Oh great segment as usual Chris!
I love these longer /Drive videos !!!
Fantastic episode. That flat six howl! I would be a happy, happy man if car engines only came with cylinder counts that were multiples of 3; good lord do they sound orgasmic at full tilt!
Chris: please keep making longer videos like this! Your best videos are the ones where you put cars on public roads as well as the circuit and really spend some time communicating what it's like to drive the cars. Your ability to distill handling characteristics into a monologue that travels well over fibre optics is your strongest suit. It's always fun watching you hoon, but it's the descriptive stuff that you do much better than other auto journalists. Please keep doing plenty of it!
Now...THAT i call a proper review-really enjoyed it a lot!!
Chris you are amazing. u have no idea how excited we feel everytime you make a new video. the gt3 is simply stunning. u have the best job in the world buddy
Who would've thought the Porsche would be the best bargain for your money LOL.
And those clear tail lights are really starting to grow on me.
Spoiler!
Me too ever since GM had clear taillights on the Buicks and Cadillacs of the early 90's ( about the same time the Japanese had them on their after market taillights ) So is the Porsche being nostalgic or retro?
I wasn't sure about the clear tail lights, when I saw them first on a Carrera 4S - but they look glorious on the GT3!
Oh what great reviews! It's shows how much more energy is put i these than other channels do.
Awesome video and great cars. Really digging Chris' driving as well, he's very quick when posting lap times and when it comes to doing sideways stuff he's totally calm and collected. Wish I could drive like you can mate!
i love this guy because of his very fair reviews.
What a review! Chris Harris has to be the best thing that happened to car reviews!
I can't believe they actually have to put in no smoking sings in these cars, WHO THE FUCK WOULD SMOKE IN THESE CARS!!!!
Me
I often hit a bong in the middle of cornering
theoneanton underrated comment
Three of my most beloved cars, beautiful British countyside, eloquent and likeable host, information paired with emotion... /Drive and especially the segment "Chris Harris on cars" is the motoring show that Top Gear could´ve been. I´m just gutted beyond belief I have discovered this show only very recently, and I kind of feel that my love for Top Gear was vastly bigger than their quality justifies.
Again, the choice of cars in this video are to me what a joint concert of The Beatles, Elvis and Mozart would be to a music enthusiast. They fill me with joy, to the brim.
Just imagine how the 991 GT3 RS (4.0 maybe) will perform, what could they improve even more. What a special car.
Brilliant video, like always, and almost half an hour long! Many thanks for that!
Different verdict for me, though. Aston, Merc, Porsche. In that order. Simply because I live in Germany and am bored to death by 911s. The GT3 is the best car, no doubt about it, but I'd still go for looks instead of speed.
Now, where's that money I remember I had when I woke up this morning? Oh, wait...
Nothing better than a near half hour review by Chris Harris, with three exceptional cars.
I'd Definitely take the Mercedes. Brilliant looking and sounding car.
This video added reason for me to get my v12 vantages s. So informative yet entertaining. It has details, sounds, and emotion in buckets. I have watched this over and over! True car enthusiasts, try watching this video wearing good quality headphones with an open can of motor oil and having melted some plastic to add to the senses and try not to smile!! Impossible..😋🙃
"I drive the Aston, you boys can drive whatever the fuck you want" lmfao. I just started the video and already know which car Chris likes lol
30 mins of Chris Harris! That's just like Christmas!
Really thank you for this. I was waiting for a second episode of this type of video. The best with the GT3RS, BMW M3 GTS, and the C63 AMG. Really loved it
As soon as the gt3 came on track I knew it was the favorite. How do you deny that engine!!! It's amazing!
Wednesday is now officially my favourite day of the week thanks to Chris Harris and Drive. Hell, I'd propably love mondays too if this was uploaded that day weekly. Extra kudos thanks to the thorough analyzing of the cars and the lenght of the video, worth a wait.
I really enjoy these videos a lot. Side by side comparisons on road and track. I want more like this. Your normal videos of good sideways hoonery on a track is all good and fun, but I really enjoy seeing how these extraordinary cars are in ordinary situations as well.
Close call but I would go for the Aston because I just love Aston Martin cars. I also love welsh cakes! :)
I'll tell you what, these vids aren't getting worse. Killer as usual!
Great content as usual.
Fully airborne! Yes, I am drooling!
Ummmm a 30 minute Harris video? Keep this up and you'll be world famous
and again chris drives cars in way cars should be driven. respect!
Harris' reaction at 13:31 is priceless. Not sure if he's incapacitated from the sound of the engine or the centrifigul force
Aston Martin any day, its a good road car, looks stunning (not in yellow),makes a great noise, quite practical and you will look really cool while driving it. Porsche GT3 is a great car and deserves allot of respect, and for the price/performance its a bargain for some people, but the Aston is just more worth it.
Will James My brother has a AM vantage. I think his car is terrible, it falls apart cuz it's hand built. He thinks his car is awesome, because it has character cuz it's hand built. I have a 911 turbo. I think 911s are the best car in the world, exotic performance without the flashy "look at me" attitude. My brother hates my car cuz it's too fast and it doesn't have the flashy "look at me" attitude.Variety is the spice of life
I test drove the v12 s a few days ago and was blown away... kicked out the rear coming onto the M25 with my brother behind in his C4S, which he found amusing... but all in all, I get mine end of March lol! Stunning thing
Congrats! it's definitely a car that gives you a sense of occasion.
bcsngan Thank you... you're not wrong! I just grinned the entire test drive... the sound it makes is truly other worldly lol! Cannot wait to get it!
Brian Ngan variety ? i see 100 911's a day - that's not variety
13:32 favorite Chris Harris moment. From the nauseated facial expression to the head shake of disbelief, this moment is far too good
I see 28 minutes worth of Chris Harris, no matter what the content, today should be a good day haha!
is it sad i wait every wednesday nights for harris's new vid?
Best car journo bar none.
P1 next week ........................
I can't wait for the P1 review either. It's going to be a classic for sure.
Thank you guys. This truly did brighten my day from a low point. Thank you.
How can anyone who love REAL cars say, that the GT3 is boring? So you have a car, which is fast, but also absolutely fun to drive - dominates every other car [even exotics like Ferraris and Aston's] and it revs to 9000 rpm... and some people repeat blindly the Clarkson doctrine, that 911 have to be boring???
Please, change your stroller with a real car - and at least test drive a Porsche.
Sorry, but I can't take this ignorance anymore!
They're just saying it to be edgy and controversial, ignore them.
Can't a car be both brilliant and boring at the same time? I do think Porsches are a boring choice for a car to own, especially the design, but because of the way they drive I'm willing to forgive that. Can't think of any other car within this space that's as compact, swift and usable.
The line between love and hate is very thin indeed.
Dion Suurmond You could say, that the concept gets boring - as they always stay with their formula. But if you would know Porsche a bit better, you would know that Porsche did exciting stuff [911 GT1 - not at all a 911 - despite its name], Carrera GT, 959, now the new 918, the 944 turbo and don't forget the brilliant Boxsters [Spyder] and Caymans [R] - and then there were concepts like the amazing Panamera Sport Turismo [always said, that the Panamera would be never my style, until I have seen this] and the classic 928 [which supposed to be the successor of the 911].
But also fact is, that customers [not people who just talk and don't have the money] love the 911 - that makes it for Porsche unkillable.
If you say, that the 911 is boring, it is just that you are bored, that the basic form can be anticipated and gets never super futuristic [that might be the death sentence for Porsche]. The 911 is an icon - and lets face it - Ferrari doesn't have an iconic [and still produced] model, Lamborghini doesn't has it, Aston Martin DB line was discontinued in between and cannot seen as a cohesive icon... McLaren has the F1 - which was just a "masturbation" template... but was sold in homeopathic quantities.
I loved for example the new [and classic] targa design of the 991. It is amazing, it is new. There is also plenty of new technologies applied in the new car. And again - if you drive it, you won't be bored.
But as coach potato, who anticipates every half year or so a new car... mostly models which are too expensive for 99.999% of us and built in 3 figures quantities... a new 911 might be just boring.
But then - just watch the Jetsons and masturbate over the next Ferrari.
Dominik MJ Dude, you have to accept that "liking" a car ( as you alluded to) is a very fine thing. Even though I agree with your point of view about it not being boring, I would still say its less adventurous in design that a lot of the others. I'm not talking about engineering design by the way, just purely aesthetics. At least, this is the common perception. And you're right, if you drive one you'd probably feel differently and even fall in love. But this is not necessarily about the looks. Its like two girls - the one that you dream about, then sleep with and find out she's good in bed. But then the other one, who doesn't look as hot, until you get her into bed and find out she's an animal! Oh man alive! And then what do you do? You don't go around bragging that she's an animal in bed (unless you want someone else to take her off your hands). You don't tart her up with loads of extra's or get her to wear a ton of fake tan. You just let everyone say what they want to say about her, but in your heart you now know the truth, that you would never go back to that stunner. That's love. That's why Porsche people stay Porsche.
2009 Tax
I can live with the statement you mentioned... "It is not as adventurous" than other cars. And I also understand, if people say, that they prefer the other car.
This is taste. However if you say that a car IS boring (what you didn't said, but others did) and this directly connected to a video which just proofed, that it isn't (as such), then I revolt.
But people have always something to complain about. I remember the 996 with its sunny side up headlamps- quite a controversial design (after the classic round lamps before and after) - and people complaint. Now Porsche went back to the classic, but improved every little bit of the design (I really cannot imagine, to make the 911 more beautiful... all proportions are cohesive, it is just so perfect) and people complain that it is boring. Ha?
Anyway... you can't really argue about taste. But somebody who reduces a trio of amazing sportscars only to their looks, IS boring. And has a lack of integrity and watches to much Top Gear.
I really really love that gt3. Can't believe I'm saying that cause I never really cared for the previous ones. Wow, just wow
