The Porsche 911 GT3 has broken the mould in recent years. Not by developing cutting edge new technology or integrating complicated hybrid systems, but by staying true to what made the original so brilliant. For petrol heads, it’s a last of the breed and one that we should cherish. James Dennison is your guide to the finer points of, arguably, Porsche’s finest hour.

Forget the car for a second, who is the amazing editor of this video? You guys have stepped up your game.
This video is what Top Gear 2.0 should actually look like
Thanks Sanjay! Albus Studios shot and edited this video, they're awesome!
need 4k though
Spot on
100% this was an amazing video. Wow!
The naturally aspirated engine coupled with a manual gear box is the driving purity with a far superior setup when compared to the computer aided cars with turbo, computerised flappy paddle gear box and a mapped in synthetic sound. Now Porsche put in the craftsmanship in this engine to bring it alive.
Some of those drone shots were absolute class….fantastic job lads!
Congratulations to everyone concerned in making this video. The scenery, the sound……… that car!
just intoxicating.
Thank you very much!
The one I want is the last Touring in a nice subtle dark colour so that most people won't notice it's a special one.
I would go straight black with silver whees and black brakes with the silver window trim. Very low key and elegant.
My dad has a BRG 991 touring with subtle silver wheels. He’s also an incredibly good driver (not just boy racer). Being a passenger is more than visceral
Having experienced one of these on the Nordschleife, I can confirm it really doesn’t need more power. It just needs you to be a better driver... The most desirable car on the planet
top of my list over any other car.
Step change in production on this film! Brilliant camerawork.
Thank you!
Never did I think I would cry watching a car review, but this 992 GT3 is something else! The sound of the flat-6 hurling the car forward as the 9000 rpm mark approaches, the brief pause as the clutch is engaged to change gears is unsatisfiable to my ears. Hands-down the best manual north of 500 bhp car in my opinion.
If this video doesn't get your juices flowing... You simply don't have the right to call yourself a car guy or gal. Simply amazing. Cheers to the crew!
Thanks Markus!
That my friends, was a great review. thanks James.
Our pleasure!
Well said.
So glad to see one with silver wheels rather than black.
Ditto :-) I'm not one for black wheels either. They just tend to disappear.
Silver is the new Black.
Great work, James and team! This video is perfect in every sense - the script, the location, the filming and delivery. Probably the most enjoyable 992 GT3 review on the internet!
Thanks very much Vijay :) :)
Love the gear shifting sound, love the acceleration sound, love the throttle sound... love everything of GT3
I have one of these (Touring) on order - awaiting delivery in the next couple of months. The expense is large but whenever I find my self questioning the purchase, I come back and watch this video and it makes it worth it. A wonderful video - the joy is palpable and I can't wait to experience it.
One of the best GT3 reviews out there. On all levels.
Thank you!
This will go down in history as the little green men video, loved it, such an emotive video, best GT3 vid to date..and there are lots out there.. you didn’t give us all the stats stuff, because it’s already been done.
Chris Harris already made the little green men comment in his Ferrari FXXK video. That would be the peak of where cars had got to.
@@raaj85 I haven’t seen that one, FXX models are not my kind of cars…
Thanks Alan. Really appreciate the kinds words.
Wasn't aware of this! Will go and check out that video.
One of the last few great drivers cars. A car of experience, not of numbers. Thanks porsche, there are those of us who sincerely appreciate you sticking to your guns in an era of hybrids, electrics, etc etc. A work of art.
And i guess the video was OK too ;)
That car is on another level🤩
Quality car, quality vid, quality presenter in JD. Say na morer.
Cheers Ziggy, appreciated!
the best looking Porsche I have ever seen and it is a 6 speed manual which is also great for enthusiasts!! Great job of making a review on this car man, I'm looking forward for the upcoming videos that you will upload in the future!! This is also one of my dream line ups when it comes to supercar!!
This gentleman is a very talented car journalist . Happy to see him back .
4:21-4:26 is epic 👌🏻
Thanks! More videos from James on the way…
@@CARmagazineTV that’s great . Looking forward for them .
What's your favourite GT3? Let us know in the comments below!
992
Probably a 991 or 992 GT3 Touring..
Cayman GTS 4.0, almost same 4,0 motor, mid engine handling phanomenal,100K lower price
992.2
Easy ... 991.2 GT3 Touring
I cannot thank you enough for having this car in a manual for this video.
Our pleasure!
Awesome video mate! Well done!
Cheers Stevo!
One of the Best Reviews On 992 ... Well Written ... Great Sound ... Stunning Views ... Just A Fantastic Production ... Thank You Porsche For Building The Bench Mark ... Thank You Car Magazine For Sharing ... Cheers ... This Is The Best Looking (TOURING) Best Performing GT3 Hands Down .
Thanks Nick!
First video to ever want me to actually go buy a car love it 😍
How is it that you don’t have 1M subs. This is top quality content, cinematography and editing.
Thank you 😊
The best 911 GT3 video on UA-cam period. That drone shots... Congrats guys!!
Thank you Georgios!
Great review, top cinematography. James is refreshingly old school, maybe a whiff of Partridge here and there, but that's part of his charm. Proper motoring journalism.
😂😂 Glad you enjoyed!
Excellent video… Top level presenter! His future in automotive journalism is guaranteed!
Thanks!
you can flat-shift it, most people dont' know that. keep your foot on the accelerator when you upshift.
@Sideways Singh that's incorrect. Blip downshift requires pressing the button, flat downshift is always on. (trust me.. ive tried it just a few times. ua-cam.com/video/kTYiAf8fOw8/v-deo.html )
Nothing will Ever beat a Manual for a visceral, glorious and rewarding driving experience. Non Debatable. The End
This video left me in tears... must be the music!!
My favourite car ever. Porsche are IMO the kings of the supercar which is not completely out of reach ❤.
What an amazing sound it makes. Incredible car all around.
5:53 those downshifts oof 😍
Another great review James, very well presented. The camera/drone shots and editing were amazing!
Thanks very much 😊😊
Wonderful video work. Nice review commentary. Thanks for not wasting time on complaining about frivolous flaws such as not being able to see side gages. Certainly convinced me to get on the list for an allocation.
Thanks!
His voice over is impeccable!❤
The windmills. Very Tenet. Nice Zeitgeist.
Glad you enjoyed! Hoped someone would notice 😏
Thanks so much for reviewing the manual version!!
Canyon carving or getting milk across town with a manual transmission is the fountain of youth.
that heel and toe is lit
Beautiful beautiful narration..... It must be a work of art.
Thank you!
Feels like a step up in performance. The video, as well as the car.
Thank you!
Simply a car review that is a league above the rest. Splendid...
Thank you!
What an amazing review!!!
Thank you!
Superb video, great presentation. Perfect car! Congrats.
Direct from Brazil!
Thank you very much!
I would still get this. This legit would be the only porshe I buy due to the fun to drive aspect due to the manual
Love the manual
1) The GPF screws up the best part of the sound, which is between 8000-9000 rpm. The 991.2 sounds much better.
2) Brakes in certain markets use a worse pad compound for environmental reasons only.
3) Some reports of the thinner glass cracking is unnecessary weight removal resulting in major problems.
4) The front still looks ungainly compared with the 991.2.
Best 992 review, I have a manual ordered arriving in early May, and a 991.2 nowadays, This car is unique
Thanks Bill!
lucky you. enjoy!
That road looks awesome 🤩
It is!
Manual for life ❤
BRAVO EXCELLENT LOCATION TO SHOWCASE AN ICON
Thank you!
I want Porsche to develop every model from the 4.0L flat 6. Base 911 should use the 718 GTS 4.0, and then the Turbo should use a twin turbo version of that 4.0. I would never complain if Porsche decided to move the engine to the middle like the 718. They should probably just drop the 718 and make the 911 Mid engined with the double wishbones and 4.0 with a big hatchback and frunk. Literally the best GT car at that point.
This is my dream car just like this one !!!!!!!!!!!!
wow.. just wow!! my favourite car with that glorious sound made my day
This channel is getting better and better.Thanks for the great job!
Thank you!
This is my dream car, hopefully could by it by time I grow up 🤩
Great review! Having driven both pdk and manual, which one is better in your opinion James. I know the automatic choice is the manual but does its long gearing bother you a tad bit? Thank you and hope to get your feedback soon.
‘Tough one. Usually it would be manual without thinking, but the PDK is so good it’s hard to look passed it as the better option. That said, it’s hard to say no to a six-speed manual with 500bhp 😏’
@@CARmagazineTV thanks for your input. So confused!
Excited to see a test of the new 992 speedster, hope to make it in soon
Noted!
Those drone shots tho!! Wow guys!
Thanks Josh!
my dream car
At about 2:00 I thought you were going to say you had half a pack of cigarettes.
PDK vs manual reminds be of a friend who is a civil engineer. When he tells people that he is a civil engineer, people say “That’s nice “ but when they ask what kind of engineer he is and he replies “locomotive engineer” people get really excited.
Lovely production 👏🏻
Thanks Rich!
Exceptional Video Guys. ❤
Thank you!
Brake BEFORE the water across the road, not as you are going through it. A fabulous car; no wonder it's available at just a 100K premium...
Porsche 911 GT3 Manual KING KONG
What a review mate. British car journalism at best🇬🇧
Thanks Sam!
I think I watch this video at least once a week.
Haha, we’ll take that!
THE BEST CAR IN HISTORY
Amazing car and trans manual so perfect
I was at work charting, it took me a long time, to finish charting.
Finally a journalist that can both drive properly and understand the importance of aural
& NVH "primitivism"
in Supercars.
Astonishingly rich review, the levels of subjective experience transmission to us viewers is off the scale!
Bravo! 🙏
What a great video! I’d have to say up there with the absolute best. Well done.
Thank you Jason!
Hehe, a smile on the face the whole video. Great video, great car and such a great sound, incredible!
Well we have just bought one in agate grey manual
Fun video, thanks. 👍
Thanks!
Great photography, loved the in car editing (heelntoe for the win), but how did you record the sound? Your gt3 sounds better than most other videos. Similar, but that little bit more. 👍
@@CARmagazineTV Also, did you guys do a 718 spyder review? Not seeing it. If not, consider this a request. :)
Kudos to Porsche for sticking with an epic sounding normally aspirated high revving engine and giving the opinion of a manual box. More desirable than anything from Ferrari or McLaren which just don't sound as good even though they have way more power.
Well, you can have "this car" with way more power... It's called GT2 RS.
The forthcoming 992.2 911 GT2 RS will have more power than comparable McLaren or Ferrari competitors and it will blow everything out of the water... Once again.
This is type of car you buy for sunset cruise.
Yep the Manual! The Only way to go for FTD!
Awesome.
Thanks!
You already did a GT3 video. Not sure why you didn’t talk about pdk vs manual at all. That’s what I was hoping you would have discussed.
driver is tap dancor. nice!
What road EXACTLY was this filmed on, it seems I need to spend a weekend in Wales with the racecar
Your best video yet!
Cheers Ben!
How did you do the drone camera work? It's very impressive!
FPV! Camera operator is flying the drone using a virtual reality headset. Not easy to do but the effect is great!

2 4 6 Porsche 911 GT3 - DREAM CAR !!!
awesome stuff James ! and good chatting today :)
Thanks Ciaran - good to meet you. Am jealous of the 340i and the roads you have north of the border 👌👌
Great review...very indepth! This was like reading the manual but more fun :) Do people even read manuals anymore though...lol. Great job on your video :)
Thank you!
Favorite GT3? The one in my garage.
Which one have you got Daniel?
@@CARmagazineTV That was meant to mean any GT3 that you own is the favorite. But since you asked, I have a 992 GT3 touring on order (April Delivery). Oh and yes it's a manual.
Superb choice 👌👌👌👏👏
Yep love my 997.1 GT3
Question:
Would a comatose sloth shift any slower than a comatose Checo Perez and if so how could his tardiness not be attributed to his handicap of possessing massive claws rather than Checos advantageous opposable thumbs? Also would a comatose state not hinder the sloths hand eye coordination somewhat?
I'm sincerely curious.
Porsche must do anything and everything to save 911GT3 from extinction in future.
This! ^^
Pull the amplifier fuse and I bet you it sounds different. They still play through the audio, just do it a lot better than Audi and BMW (both of which do a terrible job). Have driven three 992's of differnent levels now and they all have had sound addition, but to give them their due they were all well judged and you didn't really know it was there until you pulled the plug on the amp.
Hummm. Interesting !
Nice video guys
Thank you 😀
car sound amazing!
The problem with this Gem of a GT3 6 speed is you're driving it on the wrong Lane of the road, or , you've fixed the steering on the wrong side of the Car.
Get with 99% of the world and have the steering wheel on the left ... so you can drive on the Right side of the road anywhere on the planet !
Perfect. Save the manuals!
Awesome video
Thank you!
