New Lamborghini Huracan STO v Porsche 911 GT3 | Track battle | Autocar

- If you want to buy a track-focused supercar, you get a lot of options. But few are quite so compelling as these: the 2022 Lamborghini Huracan STO and the new Porsche 911 GT3.
The Lamborghini Huracan STO is the latest and maybe greatest version of Lamborghini’s V10 supercar. These days its naturally aspirated 5.2-litre engine makes some 631bhp at a screaming 8000rpm, as well as 416lb ft. That’s enough to propel it from 0-62mph in 3.0sec and give it a top speed of 193mph. But those raw numbers are not what the STO is about, says Lamborghini. It says the rear-drive STO is about feel, emotion, and fun. Whoop. It costs £260,012.
You could argue similar things about the 2022 Porsche 911 GT3, and we do, but there’s no question that its performance is motorsport derived as well. It also has a naturally-aspirated engine, a 4.0-litre flat six, which revs to 9000rpm and makes peak power of 503bhp at 8400rpm. It gets 347lb ft, it’ll go from 0-62mph in 3.4sec, and it has a top speed of 198mph. Its price is £127,955.
But here we’re not taking lap times or performance figures. We want to know which is the better driver’s car - the two cars are together here at Anglesey circuit as part of Autocar’s Britain’s Best Driver’s Car 2021 feature, which you can find in the magazine, on digital subscription, or at autocar.co.uk. Join two of our journalists, James Disdale and Matt Prior, as they try the pair out, get deafened, scare each other a bit and decide which track supercar is more fun.

The GT3 is such a complete package! Road car, track car, reliability and long term desirability like no other in my opinion
Typical Porsche, in fact
i would say the 991.2 gt3 rs is a better package for some less money currently but the gt3 is awesome if you need it to be brand new.
As good as that V10 sounds I'd still pick the GT3 everyday and twice on a Sunday.
The GT3 is one of my favorite sounding cars of all time.
What the hell does that even mean? Lol
@@beardmechanix1642 cliche to show love
The Porsche is such a good reason to get rich...
👍🏻
I'm currently plotting how I make this happen.. I will one day own one...
@@eamoman651 better do it soon before there all electric….. I got lucky I didn’t miss the boat cause the na engine is incredible
Good boy, chase the shiny thing. You've been well trained.
Yes ....dam good reason to get rich 😃
A TRACK BATTLE with no lap times!! Bravooo you are brilliant
These are what a Lamborghini and a Porsche should be. They are the prefect forms from the brands!
Ironically Lamborghini’s originally were suppose to be great street cars, never really track competitors. No complaints of where they are as of now however
Porsche was always perfect.
Nah, the ideal Lambo must have an NA V12
@@michaelmcdonald9847 I would be inclined to agree, but this little Huracan is so outrageous I still love it!
GT3 vs Perf is a better comparison. The STO really needs the RS to compete with since they’ll be the top of the line for each model.
Agreed
STO vs GT Black Series is better comparison
No you're wrong, the STO needs to be compared to a GT2rs.
@@mohammedawadud7238 naw, GT2RS would kill the STO. 2RS would need the SVJ as a track competitor
@@porscheguy5848 No, the previous Perf huracan was very close to the GT2rs in performance and was even faster than the GT2RS in a 1/8 mile drag race. The new STO has more down-force and less weight than before so this would be a perfect match for the GT2 RS. The STO is more hardcore and track focused than even the SVJ believe it or not, according to Lamborghini's chef technical officer.
Not exactly a ‘Track Battle’ if no lap times involved.
yea wtf such bullshit
Sure it is! You can test which car holds up better to track abuse, which car is more balanced on the limit, which car offers the driver the most precision, etc. There is plenty you can do that is far *more* relevant to owners than compare lap times.
I only kind of agree. A track is a place to enjoy the limits of your car not necessarily set lap times. For example, a GTR Nismo would demolish a cayman GTS in a timed battle on the same track, but I'd prefer the Cayman 10/10 times. I fortunately know that from experience. But yeah, in this iteration it would have been useful to know
Yeah, if for nothing but fun they should have posted their track times for each car with their comfortable (for safety reasons) driving abilities. Some times a car is actually a lot faster or a lot slower than you think (based off your track feelings) once you see its actual track times.
It doesnt make sense to compare these two numbers wise as the gt3 would get eaten alive by the sto. They would need the gt2rs to make It competitive
No 500hp Production car can beat GT3!
Maybe a GT4 RS with less than 500hp?
As the most expensive 500hp production car, it better be the best one.
Dallara Stradale has 400PS and is faster than the GT3
@@smasher123ism 911 GT3 has never been about being fast in straight line dragster. It's one of the fastest track tool if not the fastest and highly effective, incredibly enjoyable in that. Always punched way above its weight.
@@rohitjain3210 I’m not talking to you buddy, and I didn’t ask for that. What you replied to me with is completely irrelevant to what I said
Great video. Two knowledgeable journalists talking about the cars while driving them spiritedly.
Straight up don’t care if the specs are better on the GT3, that STO has my heart.
Who says the GT3 is better? Even the performante would crush the 911, the STO is just too much. GT3 RS vs STO? STO is still gonna win.
@@Khan-ts2ji win in what way? The STO gets slapped in all areas.
@@AD-hf1hp svj would slap that beetle
@@AD-hf1hp not in acceleration, STO rapes the GT3
Uh, no lap times, gents????
The Porsche costs half of what the Lambo does.
Still over 350k € in Finland lmao
At list if u can actually buy one , from a dealer, which u can’t
really, can you actually buy one though, NO is the answer for anyone other than special friends of porsche.
@@mrscottlaurie yeah that’s what I meant, probably didn’t make my point very clear, no chance of buying unless you have bought multiple Porches.
@@brentpowell7889 yea, or you could pay 100k over the list price. But at that point, you are at Lambo money, and I would get the lambo at 350k over the gt3. gt3 is awesome at 150k. 200k is pushing it...
Did I miss them setting a laptime in this track battle?
A clickbaity title. This wasn't a track battle, it was just a video of the two cars with most of the video focused on you two talking about the cars.
Porsche wouldn't have allowed it period. The STO would have stomped on the GT3 as it should costing double and having 150 hp more. Ferrari often does the same. Lambo never objects to timing their cars as does McLaren
Porsche have been involved in numerous track battle videos so I don't know what you're talking about.
@@FruitFlyKilla Only when it does suit them. Same with Ferrari.
@@EduSanjuan777 According to you Porsche "wouldn't have allowed it period" now it's "only when it suits them". You just don't want to admit that you're wrong.
@@FruitFlyKilla Sorry I dont argue with sour people, its a waste of time and energy. If they dont time them is not because they dont want to, I am pretty sure of that. Most new and exclusive cars like these are provided by brands unless you are Doug Demuro and they come with conditions. Anyway have fun with your life or try to
I would definitely pick the GT3 if I could only have one. Also I could get it in a manual, you just can't go wrong with it! STO is brilliant though!
Both great cars, neither is a good daily driver, or even a great street car. For that you want a 911 Carrera S or a Turbo if you have the budget. It is still very impressive that either of these cars can be bought and owned almost as regular cars - they won't break every other week like exotics used to!
2 incredible track cars I think the GT3 definitely ticks all the boxes thou
Autocar is the only channel that can make the two greatest driving cars on sale at the moment seem boring.
For real, they need to get rid of this guy asap, he is so boring
@@cedb7115 both of them. Zeeerooo emotions. Just little bit of "drifting". I assume skillas are weak...
Porsche 911 GT3's glorious sound for me.
";-)
It souds trash compared to a lambo
@@nazarpredatorak What are you on about. The Flat 6 sounds equally as good
@@gamingmamba2584 you on some hard cocaine bruther
been waiting for a comparison of these two heavyweights, awesome video... 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
It's great to see two genuine petrol head reviewers that just want to drive. The videos are about the car not the presenter. Nice work.
The Huracan is much more hardcore. It must be a pain to drive it on public roads. It is perfect car for track users.
I currently drive a Performante regularly, they're not so bad on public roads. Just really stiff.
@@thesigmaenigma9102 yeah that's why I prefer R8.
The STO gets banned from tracks like Nürburgring because it's too loud, so not perfect for track users.
@@amarjit_singh_ Stupid politics. For track is too laud but for night city is ok XD
Both cars are so different. The Porsche is an incredible track focused machine and rides on rails. While the Lamborghini gives you all the drama you’d ever want from an exotic. I’m more of a person who enjoys that feeling the car gives me…noise, looks, excitement, rawness, theater. My choice would be the STO.
6:42 coolest cut I have ever seen
Would have been better if it looked like a continued shot in the pits. The fact that it jumps to further down the pit lane spoils it a bit.
The sound of lambo is 🔥
This channel always has great cars, but the hosts are so boring. Two amazing and exciting cars but these guys putting me to sleep
They need to stick to reviewing Hyundai sedans.
Can barely hear what they are saying…
Bring back Chris Harris
i realy enjoyed this review....the engine sound....n both of your enthusiasm....
What battle？
a manual GT3, and the STO would make a great two car garage for me.
there are a lot of good combos for a porsche-lambo 2 car garage, I could list so many of them
@@haoli2465 I got one better for you:
997.2 GT3RS (even the 3.8) and the STO.
@@timmietz I'd get a Carrera GT and a murcielago SV combo
@@timmietz I love the 2000s and these two just sound amazing, they might be a bit too fast tho
@@haoli2465 I bought a 2011 GT3RS last year and my STO should be here in Feb 2022. Very excited to say the least!!
The GT3 is just more grown up…and not too flashy
THANK YOU FOR THE NOISE!!
The Sto makes 631bhp not 610
Yup
Watching these two cars being thrown about reminds me of the throwback Chris Harris and Neil UA-cam content. Nostalgia indeed.
Great video. I’d say the STO is Lamborghinis GT3RS, and the Performante is their GT3.
I would say the performante is their gt3rs and this sto is their gt2rs which the pricing are similar to the competition as well
@@G0ddEityawesome I like it
GT3's performance is a wash compared to sto. Sto has some advantages on long straights and low speed corners and gt3 is faster in high speed corners, so it's really track dependent.
GT3 RS is a whole step up in terms of suspension and downforce and its pace when on slicks approaches GT4 race cars. Currently lamborghini doesn't offer any product that is this close to a race car.
I think the comparison would he fairer if it was STO vs GT2RS 991.2. But I understand they both came out this year
That flat 6 noise is a thing of beauty.
If you think that flat-6 is good, wait till you hear the flat-8 on the C8 Z06. Porsche’s flat-plane 6 have nothing on Corvette‘a flat-plane 8.
@@lordmaster5522 C8 z06 doesn't have a flat 8
@@IR-xy3ij Yes it does, because the Z06 have a different engine than the regular Stingray. The normal Corvette is a V8 and the Z06 have the flat 8 which allows it to rev up higher like Porsche’s flat 6.
@@lordmaster5522 You are confusing a flat plane crankshaft V8 with a horizontally opposed 8 cylinder engine. If you don't believe me, look up the LT6 engine and see it yourself.
a Chris Harris review would be preferable, IMHO.
he already has
The GT3 is like bringing a knife to a gunfight… a Honjo Masamune knife.
New GT3 = Huracan Performante, new GT3 RS = Huracan STO
Let’s see some more of the 9-5 Wagon please!
Clean and somehow simple design of the GT3 and the Madness of the Huracan's powertrain
Lap time v which is better, is that the same thing?
Honestly phased at the fact they didn’t time these? What’s the point ….. give me times!!!!!
Probably brand politics.
Love the sound of a flat 6 Porsche engine…
"It is so good, what do we need a GT3 RS for?"
Oh dear, I believe that's not gonna age well. :D
Don’t call it a track battle without lap times please.
Love both cars and the STO is the best Lamborghini in the last 10 years so I would take it but both cars are amazing.
Lamborghini is my dream car, love the aggressive look with beautiful sound and hardcore driving style
1) Shame their microphones weren't set up properly.
2) Less talking, more noise of the cars on track from outside...
The GT3 engine cabin noise is orgasmic!
The GT3RS is going to be a beast.
Give us some lap times. That V10 though🤌🏽🤌🏽
STO, no doubt! Just had the wow factor
A track battle with no times?
Where was the ‘battle’?
This week's edition of "how boring can you get?"
The only thing Huracan STO needs is a set of Michellin Pilot sport cup 2Rs and then you'll have fun and be fast
Well ok, great input! Thanks again for the input, but can we also get the output? Lap times?
No disrespect whatsoever for our dear Matt (great journalist and good lad!) but we needed Steve here!
I feel like I've seen this somewhere 🤔
...oh yeah, TRIPLE F COLLECTION
For me it’s not even a question…GT3 😍
So who the battle.....
Lap time?
The Lambo is a better toy, it is a robot with noise and lights and had missiles when its chest is open and you can only but laugh and be mesmerised like a 6 year old kid. The Porsche is a top of the line coffee maker from Europe, it cannot be faulted, it makes lovely coffee and it will last longer than you will. I like missiles.
I'll never understand the obsession of the GT3. The STO just looks and sounds soooo much better.
Just two dads tossing super cars. Do you like our sweaters? Love these guys. This is what I imagined fortyish would be like. Apparently it’s more like 50ish. I need to work harder.
Both sound mega - that V10 F1 sound just pips the motorsport flat 6 howl for me, just.
Awesome throttle and steering control while drifting👌🤘
Well done👏✌
GT3 for me , without any hesitation
4:30 actually shows some enjoyment of the moment, 😃 ah its too easy to rag on mr grumpy
992 GT3 ALL THE WAY.. ITS MAGIC!
Even with 9,000 rpm the Porsches six cylinder can't compete with that glorious V10 symphony coming out of the STO. No question I would go STO
But gt3 can do again and again
hat der sto einen opf? der gt3 hat einen und deshalb ist der sound schwächer.
I couldn't put up with the looks though. GT3 for me..
Manual murcielago>any porsche
@@chrisrichter968 hat keinen
Put a hitch on the Huracan and tow a trailer with my Porsche gt3 on it.
Quite Brilliant !😁
The time???
Two blokes waffling non-sense thanks for that.👍
I managed to fall asleep yet again to what should be exciting content. Please change the hosts this is dreadful to watch
Looks like u both got ur mojos back , great driving gents.... the cars rnt that good r they 😳👍🏻
The audio is a bit of
Hard to hear you over the engine sounds
There is no substitute. GT3 all day everyday. Proof you do t need more than 510hp.
question : why does everybody want a GT3 or GT3RS? compared to a STO, 765LT , 600LT, pista... what so special about the GT3s other than its an N/A engine and revs 9000rpm? what so special about the GT?
Reliability. You can drive it daily. Plus some people only care about driving silently without attracting attention
It’s a perfectly balanced , perfectly sounding , perfectly German engineered machine . It is 70 years of fine tuning and perfection !!
STO FOR ME🔥
I love the look on your face while you were driving the Porsche, a look of love!
Lamborghini every time
Love love
GT3 for me, THANKS :-)
992 GT3 is the masterpiece of Porsche, easy choice! key factor fiability!!!
Bro wait for the GT3 RS, this video is pointless, then you make another comparison
GT3 is an everyday car, GT3 RS will not be, it will be mainly for a track day.
@@nazmulbhuiyan1982 yes, same as the STO...
Dull and duller.

hard choose ... the Huracan is my choose... about noise it's a wild thing ... GT3 ok ... sure is a GT3 the sport car... but that v10... my god... Sure the correct battle have to be: Perfomante vs Gt3 or Evo vs Gt3, The GT3 is less exasperate of Gt3 Rs ...
Soon you’re going to redo this and add the GT4 RS
The Huracan just looks so aggressive and the sound of the engine, not the logical choice, but the emotional one
Does Pioggia have softer dampening - smoother ride?
I just hit two numbers on Powerball, so I'm 4 dollars closer.
If u are rich, u pick both....these are fantastic cars, and for me Lamborghini, with that sound and that look, is incredible for a track day car
I wrote that before they got in to the STO
End of ridiclous hp numbers cars Era & beginning of Fun cars Era
Would take the gt3 any day.
At least you can fit more than a lunch box in the storage spaces.
I was waiting for a timed lap wtf
Great! It's the Mumble guy... bring your case of Red bulls everyone... time to stay awake......
