  • Petrolheads, assemble: it’s a new Porsche 911 GT3. Which is basically like saying ‘it’s a new Bowie album’ to the music nerds. This is benchmark sports car, the one by which the steering feel, chassis composure and engine response of every other supposed supercar on the market is measured against. The 992 GT3 gets a racecar engine, a ginormous wing and a rather special new knob. And this is what happens when Chris Harris is tasked with running that glorious 4.0-litre flat-six engine in, just so he can open the taps and spank it around a track.

      Need to fuck the other 2 off. I like them both in their own right but not as car journalists. Chris Harris is being cheapened by the stupid antics too. Let him be a nerd. He's the modern Tiff Nedell. Give him another charismatic co presenter (sabine was always the perfect candidate and I said it as soon as Chris came to Top Gear) stop trying to replicate the Clarkson Hammond and may dynamic and let things develop naturally.

Yes, standard commuter cars and daily-driver cars will likely be all electric in the relatively near future. However, due to there being such a massive and passionate following in motorsports and sports cars in general, manufacturers like Porsche or even Mazda who really care about the driving experience will never leave us behind. Even if emissions restrictions continue to get stricter, there are incredibly smart engineers (hopefully me one day😅) who will do everything they can to keep combustion engines around. And even if legislation dictates that cars must be electric, there would be such a massive protest to it, they would have no choice but to compromise.

  • @DriveBreakFixRepeat
    @DriveBreakFixRepeat 3 роки тому +10

    Spring rate is relative to the suspension design. Previous 911s used cheaper McPherson strut front end. The few benefits of that setup, beyond manufacturing/assembly costs, is, typically, more direct steering feel and a nearly 1:1 effect of the spring on the tire, AKA the spring rate at the wheel. Double wishbone offers dynamic camber gain (keeps tire contact patch stuck to the pavement), but loses the almost 1:1 spring rate to wheel rate factor, hence the stiffer spring rates chosen. Suspension nerds will commonly talk about the "motion ratio" of the springs when building aftermarket coilover setups. All that matters is the spring rate experienced by at the wheel.
