The fact that you had the privilege to review these 3 legendary cars is a testament to your status as a automotive reviewer. You're at the top of your game!
Absolute nonsense. This is the result of the reviewer having the right connections. His high class accent betrays his privilege. But, oh well life is unjust.
@@alexeymaximov5565 Henry Catchpole has been reviewing cars for a long time, yes he has connections, but that can only come with good work. No one is going to let the average Joe drive their multi-million dollar cars.
there is just no other detailed video about the 911 gt1 out there so thanks to carfection and especially the owner that they are bringing us such gorgeous content
True, and even more glad these owners where cool with Carfection driving their multi million dollar cars.... if you find any footage of these UFOs its mostly standing still at dealerships or events. Especially the Porsche.
Because they were new and different and attached to a water cooled car so they were automatically bad. Probably also in part because they were so obviously shared with the Boxster headlights due Porsche finances not being in the best state at the time. I like them, but prefer the 996.2 versions more.
Matt only knows how to stomp on the gas of an automatic car. Basically 1/4 racing cars that are built for so much more than that. And the few stick shifts he reviewed, well lets say my late grandma could clutch and shift like a pro compared to him. His car reviews are not of my taste either.
Just one thing to ask...please be the one youtuber that stays away from electric cars, these are ruining it all for all petrolhead diehards. Eventually it will be electric self driving cars, and that is what we must all fight against!! Long live dino juice!!
Every Le Mans Racecar is just absolutely memorizing, from Aston Martin DBR1 to Ferrari 330P3, the Ford GT40 MkII, then comes the Porsche's with their Flat-12 917K, and don't forget the group C, with the 962C, the Mazda rotary boy, and the Mercs C9 and C11, then came the Audi, Le Mans is just something else
It just blows my mind how this channel has "only" just over 900k subs. It is by far, one of the greatest automotive channels right now. Please, keep doing what you are doing.
Older gen like miura and countach have the legendary status but little performance and moderrn cars have all the performance but arent really legends. These are goats
This. Series. Is. Amazing! Please, if you can, do a series or a side-channel going through classic cars as Petrolicious does, but your own version like this. Would love to see things like the 917 and 330 P4, and I'm sure Henry would love it even more to drive them!
There is such a thing as a Porsche fanboy - Richard Hammond for example. I'm not a fanboy, I like classic Porsches aesthetically but don't get off on most of their modern stuff (also not a fan of the engine in the back). I don't have to make an exception for this car - I like most from this era - and this is styled wonderfully.
As soon as he finished saying "CLK GTR" at the end, there was a loud clap of thunder outside. Fantastic timing. I wish the 911 GT1 had been styled a tiny bit differently so that the wheels fill out the wheel arches better.
Every inch of the bodywork drips of gorgeousness. My lungs inflated to their maximum and heartbeat slowed down when the hatch was opened to reveal the engine. That part was pure poetry. Being a hardcore Porsche fan, the 911s always tend to raise my BPM- this one nearly gave me a heart attack. Loved it ❤
I'll never forget the epic duels between the GT1 & the CLK GTR cars during the FIA GT race at Homestead , Florida. This was the week after Yannick Dalmas had taken the GT1 airborne at Road Atlanta. Of course, Mark Weber had to ensure that the Mercedes flew even higher. What incredible cars. Thanks for producing this excellent video!
Loving cars isn’t all about hyper cars like these but what an utterly stunning trio. Some of the best of Carfection’s work here and that really is saying something with the back catalogue they’ve built.
I'm envious about the people who watched the 90's GT racing, but now in just a few years we will enter a new golden age of Sports car racing. Looking forward to the future.
What an enjoyable series of videos! I hope we see more of this thorough reviews and top notch car journalism. And the production quality as well... For me you could be even more specific about details, but I am a car nerd. Maybe like the most of us, watching your videos. Gladly no smoking tyres, no drag "racing", no button pushing/ quirky details. Refreshing!
Awesome Henry. I was there for the Brands hatch first BPR race and the GT1 just lapped everything! With 6ft flames 🔥 on the overrun.... always will be the ultimate for me. Thanks for the exclusive drive,
I am really glad I am old enough to have seen these things race and the "proper" DTM....these cars were my dream cars in Need for Speed, were on my bedroom wall and probably also a huge influence why I work in automotive now.... They were just so out of the normal world. Today, I don't blink when I see a Senna, but this.... This was madness.
Amazing machine, it embodies Porsches metamorphosis from 993 air cooled to 996 water cooled engineering and design, Metzger engineering, water cooled, and The Best looking 911 Lights ever, maybe that’s why I fell in love with the 2001 Carerra 4 MK1 clear lights. The best definitely is the GT1 it was a clear engineered response to F1, still using steel and carbon fiber design. Old and New built at the Apex of Modern automotive technology from 1986-2016.
There have been a lot of car shows that have compared some fairly impressive cars (i.e. Harris with LaFer, 918, P1) but I think this should go down as the best ever. I genuinely hope, in a way, that Henry doesn't get snapped up by some major broadcaster, because I think him doing his own thing is the way it functions best (but I hope that Henry is also a superstar in the car journo world, at the same time). Seriously impressive series thus far. Thanks Carfection/Henry/DK!
It's so interesting seeing the consistency of Porsche design, seeing that way of releasing the rear clam shell looks almost exactly how you release the headlights in a new Porsche. Sticking a long allen shaped tool in a hole and rotating until something clicks loose...very nice design.
I remember racing with the CLK and the GT1 on Project Gotham Racing, around the Nurburgring, over and over and over again when I was younger. The GT1 has always been one of the coolest homologated or, HyperCars, from this era. No one knows about them, even less so than the CLK... and EVERYONE nows the F1. But the 911 GT1 just feels utterly unattainable and special for some reason. I love it.
I remember reading the Car & Driver article on the GT1 as a kid when it hit the news stands! Talk about an exciting issue! I was disappointed to know they were only producing a limited number and then just like that they sort of disappeared. It was short lived but as far as Porsches go back then I thought it was the best looking one next to the 959. Bit Jaguar XJ220ish in some of the lines I find. Awesome video! Love how you are incorporating more technical bits that involve showing, us the viewers and mere mortals, different bibs and bobs that unless you were the owner or journalist wouldnt know existed. Cheers!
As rare as the McLaren F1 is, there are probably 100 times more driving content on the F1 than there has been on the GT1. Hell Catchpole himself has driven an F1 across 3 different videos now. This is amazing, amazing content. I can't wait for the CLK GTR too.
Спасибо что показываете нам эти легенды!!! Это искусство!! Больше нет и не будет таких авто. Это настоящие спортивные машины,а не то что сейчас делают Плейстейшен на колесах!!!!
The GT1 Evo (996) is my favorite Porsche of all time. Having owned many 911's, and looking to acquire a Carrera GT in the next two years, I can only hope to acquire such a lovely vehicle in this lifetime.
Absolutely brilliant work by Carfection and Henry. Just saw the first part too. I don't think anyone else could have pulled this off better. This was a treat
Great video, like the previous one, but I suggest to add the (crazy) numbers of these beauty directly written in the video instead of only spoken. Thx!!!
Absolutely, the F1 was the only real road car that was good enough to compete, in true VW fashion they took a shortcut and glued a prototype car onto the back of a sports car, and Mercedes just built a race car and attached some bits to make it road worthy. The F1 is just such a pure car from the ground up, and held up to the true race on Sunday sell on Monday spirit of GT racing.

911 GT1 anyday
F1 all day, every day
This but the 1998 version
F1, always.
The F1 just automotive perfection. Thanks Henry and the team, fantastic films.

Yeah, that lovely blue one in the Scottish hills 👌

Different Porsche.
So glad that DK Engineering came to Carfection to put this video together - utterly sublime. Thank you!
Great combo!
True, and even more glad these owners where cool with Carfection driving their multi million dollar cars.... if you find any footage of these UFOs its mostly standing still at dealerships or events. Especially the Porsche.
I have to agree 👌
How the GT headlights were "hated" on the 996 is a mystery to me.
same here.
Because they were new and different and attached to a water cooled car so they were automatically bad. Probably also in part because they were so obviously shared with the Boxster headlights due Porsche finances not being in the best state at the time. I like them, but prefer the 996.2 versions more.
because they were not seen as GT1 headlights, but rather Boxster headlights
Imagine how modern day 911 would look like if the 996 headlights were loved.
The 996 is so absurdly underrated. On the plus side it means they are very good value to buy.
There’s a reason why you are the ones who got these and not Mat from carwow 🤣
A proper car channel with real proper journalism
Matt only knows how to stomp on the gas of an automatic car. Basically 1/4 racing cars that are built for so much more than that. And the few stick shifts he reviewed, well lets say my late grandma could clutch and shift like a pro compared to him. His car reviews are not of my taste either.

Matt got disqualified because he keeps pronouncing Porsche as “Porsh”.
@@Ficon also because he has no real meaningful things to say about any cars and is incredibly hilariously inconsistent.
@@Ficon sounds like a very legit reason if you ask me! 👌
This series is simply spectacular!
Not showing off.
He is here to teach us about the cars.
And i love it.

10:57 a wild EB110 SS in the background. DK Engineering really brought their A-game. Only missing their F40 LM
EB110s is my ultimate old supercar, amazing.
@@boogboog8097 I actually got a 1:18 scale model of a silver EB110 for my 1 year birthday that I to this date have on a shelf in my boys room.
Good spot
Got the privilege to see a Porsche GT1 Evo on track - looked like a spaceship. Thanks for these great videos!

This is literally the top tier of car, balancing performace with legendary status.
And amazing looks
@@Jackson-sh3bs yeah these have everything

Yup
ua-cam.com/video/w63d59IoaDg/v-deo.html
The colour silver on the right car looks gorgeous
Definitely! I usually like cars in black or a dark gunmetal gray, but in silver you can see every curve, angle, and beautiful shape of the car.
This. Series. Is. Amazing!
Please, if you can, do a series or a side-channel going through classic cars as Petrolicious does, but your own version like this. Would love to see things like the 917 and 330 P4, and I'm sure Henry would love it even more to drive them!
CLK GTR next time.... I can't waaaaait 😭🤤🤩
I'm in no way a Porsche fan-boy, but that is exquisite!
Is it bad to be a fan of something?
I'm in every way a Porsche fanboy, and I agree.
You must not like winning championships? Because Porsche is basically the Michael Jordan of car brands.
There is such a thing as a Porsche fanboy - Richard Hammond for example. I'm not a fanboy, I like classic Porsches aesthetically but don't get off on most of their modern stuff (also not a fan of the engine in the back). I don't have to make an exception for this car - I like most from this era - and this is styled wonderfully.
Yeah cuz all of them look the same and ugly
The 3 cars of my dream together in one video....
Thats what i call a present....
Ah, the 90’s… A legendary decade for cars like these. Amazing!
As soon as he finished saying "CLK GTR" at the end, there was a loud clap of thunder outside. Fantastic timing.
I wish the 911 GT1 had been styled a tiny bit differently so that the wheels fill out the wheel arches better.
There's always the aftermarket! Lol
Every inch of the bodywork drips of gorgeousness. My lungs inflated to their maximum and heartbeat slowed down when the hatch was opened to reveal the engine. That part was pure poetry. Being a hardcore Porsche fan, the 911s always tend to raise my BPM- this one nearly gave me a heart attack. Loved it ❤
I love that this has a PA1000 alarm fob identical to my Dad’s old 993 back in the day!
Have you seen Episode 1? Watch it here ua-cam.com/video/AIqANh0vraU/v-deo.html
I got to admit, this Porsche is my favourite out of the three. It does look more elegant.
I love, love, love how this insane 911 GT1 still has Beetle-style pedals!!
'This sort of content' as you so modestly put it, has become the gold standard of motoring journalism imho. Certainly so on any visual platform...

Of course, Mark Weber had to ensure that the Mercedes flew even higher. What incredible cars. Thanks for producing this excellent video!
3 absolutely legendary cars
Slower 0-60, slower top speed and it beat the F1. And then the CLK GTR came and beat this? What a fine series to watch 👏🏻
I want crazy homologation specials again. Imagine a limited run 919 Road car
I came my pants dude thanks
looking at those 3 cars altogether… absolutely mesmerizing
I remember lusting after the Tamiya kits of the 991 GT1!
Loving cars isn’t all about hyper cars like these but what an utterly stunning trio. Some of the best of Carfection’s work here and that really is saying something with the back catalogue they’ve built.
6:00 The guy they interviewed has the ability to bore someone to death even when talking about one of the most amazing cars in the world.
Carfection out here living up to their name and putting everybody else to shame. Bloody great work!
This video single-handedly drove up the prices of the 996. Really well done video, cheers.

Ive been lucky enough to see 1 of these before, it was in a "midnight blue" style colour, never seen a F1 or CLK GTR though!
I got to see GT1 race at Laguna Seca, these cars were just amazing.
Majestic. Another great part in the series!
Can't wait for the CLK GTR!

The CLK's hips in that opening shot. Unf.

Same lover 🤩

This is exactly the style of machine that the WEC Hypercar class is in a position to bring back. Bring on a GR010 Super Sports road car.
One of my favourite Porsche ever! Maybe the ultimate 911
Simply said, what a beautiful marriage between engineering and art.
Great Thanks for DK ENGINEERING for my another love and dream PORSCHE GT1.
Can't wait for the Clk film !
Speechless. What a superb collection of cars.
Awesome car. I've got the same hubcaps on my Boxster (and probably a few other bits too), but that's what makes it so relatable.
Thoroughly enjoyed this one. This is the car I know the least about of the 3, so was really cool to hear all the details. Excellent video.

what a design.....simply gorgeous
The shifting just LOOKS satisfying
I remember seeing one of these in the paddock at Sebring years ago. Proportionally challenged but incredibly special and very long and low.
Great video, like the previous one, but I suggest to add the (crazy) numbers of these beauty directly written in the video instead of only spoken. Thx!!!
What a great looking car! Can’t wait for the merc video
A wonderful video and a wonderful car. Didn't realise it was a 993 underneath. Every day is a school day.
WHAT A SERIES!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Great works! HC...the only channel that I revisit the old videos again and again, they’re so good!
I feel like I don't even deserve to watch this.
