In part 1 of our review of the new 493bhp Porsche 911 GT3, we test the new hardcore supercar on track at Anglesey race circuit. Is the 991.2 version of the GT3 a facelift to be forgotten, or a proper step forward and a GT car to worry 911 GT3 RS and 911 R owners? It's over to DRIVETRIBE's Editor-at-Large, Jethro Bovingdon…

Jethro Bovingdon is one of the best cars journalist nowadays.He fills the gap left by chris harris. Also the edit quality and music presented is just amazing. This channel is one of the best on youtube. Period.
Agreed. This reminds me of Chris Harris on Cars from 4 years ago. It's a great quality video.
Except Jethro has been this good all along. Even when he was at Evo,and now when he's at Drivetribes
Miguel Vasconcelos Jethro and Henry, good enough for me. Loving dt so far!
Harris is still here and doing amazing videos!
But Jethro is also brilliant!
Totally agree!
Jethro + RWD + 9000rpm = thumbs up
You need to find someone who will let you review one in the future... Okay if i hit the lottery i definitely let you hoon this! I will keep dreaming :)
Ha, win/win for both of us!
the sound of that engine. just orgasmic.
konahead F1 exhaust is orgasmic this is just the sound of a stock Porsche.
Tyler Hoeve ..... Stock?! You're kidding right?
Lucas Yeah, but he's saying it as though it sounds like a "normal" 911, which it really doesn't. Also, F1 isn't a great example of orgasmic engine noise these days, unfortunately.
(But yes, technically you're right it is a stock Porsche)
Todays F1 cars just make 'noise', they sound like crap with their tiny turbo/e engines
Porsche have the best engineers in the world. Their cars are nuts.
Camhin1 Koenigsegg, then either porsche or mclaren
Are you guys delusional or what? Porsche, Mclaren, Koenig????
There is only ONE best and that is Ferrari. Their last NA engine in 458 Speciale did beat Porsche's best, the one they had in last gen GT3, and was chosen as best NA engine in the world. Their engines are often chosen as best engine in their different categories.
they do beat porsche in breaking down
that joke was funny, Ferrari and good engines, lol, thanks for the laugh !
Fast Er weren't the 458s the ones that caught fire from oil temps. lmao
This channel proves you just put out quality car videos and the audience will come.
CJS Vlogs ofc the audience will come when the website and channel is backed by Clarkson, Hammond and May, and they poached the best journalists (and videographer by the looks of it) from the EVO team.
I literally don't care about CHM trio. I'm here for Jethro and Henry to be honest.
Jethro and Henry ftw
Why can't we have more drivers like this for reviews. Seriously, this is grade A stuff, getting to listen to the engine really strain as it's pushed to redline is why we watch videos like this. Most other reviewers may take it all the way up once in a video. Here we are treated to constant aggression and savagery. Love it.
You can have 600 or 700hp, I don't care, revving to a high rpm will always trump power figures
NEVER. I hate Trump.
+Fast Er Good noone cares
matt farah doesnt think so lol
Nope, I am not the one making retarded Trump statements at totally unrelated videos.
Fast Er O really why do you hate him? Trump is doing amazing already setting himself up to be one of the top 5 presidents the United States ever had. You either don't know whats going on, don't know whether to piss in the guys or girls bathroom or you are a ilegal imigrant and about to get deported. True Americans could not be more proud of president Trump, USA for the first time in over 10 years finally has some respect.
Glad to see four videos of the new GT3 in a few hours and this one is probably the best... good job
For whatever reason it just looks so much meaner then the previous GT3. Makes me want to blast through Eastern Europe with a Czech model on shady visas with hard drugs in the glovebox.
Connor Shields it’s probably because it is not smiling anymore haha :) look at the front bumper
It's so refreshing to see a sports car with regular colored wheels for once
Michael McDonald it looks so damn better
They do look really right on this car
I am a sucker for good black wheels though
I'd have it with the pinstripe.
I hate normal wheels, this is not a normal car so the wheels should be more special
911 GT3 is probably the best all-round supercar right now.
Notice I said *Supercar* not Hypercar.
Kronos 720S
+Shadowboost Not out yet.
And even then, it'll be...."clinical". No passion, just precision.
all-round? 911 turbo>gt3
Kronos bullshit stereotypical nonsense. the 675LT and P1 are epic fun driver's cars. the 720S is on a different level to them. the drift mode is completely legit. as far as not out yet, it's out in the same exact way that this 991.2 GT3 is "out". the first production 720S has already left the assembly line
I have never wanted a car more than I want a 991 GT3. The looks, the sound, the simplicity; I appreciate all cars, from Koenigsegg's all the way to Fiat 128 Spiders, but there's just something inexplicable about the GT3. If I could pick any car to someday carve up a canyon road, this would be my immediate go to without a doubt. (Obviously I would take it with a manual was that even a question to begin with?)
car goals. can't wait for part 2. I love the sweeping cinematography on the other videos, but the rawness of the video definitely matched the car. loved it!
Better than the 911R? Hell yeah!
By FAR The Best audio sound track of ANY Automobile presented on You-Tube.
JB... Love your work! Especially the pauses in your commentary... I end up grinning the whole way through!
jethro and crew. this was too good. please keep up the awesome work - we really appreciate the quality content and perspective you guys bring.
jenny from japan hope they are not sucked into TV, like most you tubers do once they become too good.
Awesome production guys ! Keeps getting better every new upload !
this has in a short become one of my favorite car review channels everyone is so good at there job
Drivetribe's my first stop now that the GT3 embargo's been lifted...i made the right choice! Stunning work guys, awesome content
This channel is in a whole new level, thanks for sharing!
I really have to lift the hat for you Jethro, and your entire production team. You know exactly what we want, what we need, what we crave. Great job, and those long reving flat 6 moments. Yum!
Jethro! you are a mad man behind the wheel! So awesome to watch you drive an amazing car like the new Gt3 and grab it by the scruff of the neck and bend it to your will!! So interesting to see your driving style vs other vid/car journalists. You rock sir. keep up the great work!!.
paused at 00:05 to comment: BEST 991GT3 MK2 REVIEW SO FAR. PROBABLY THE BEST EVER. Thank you Mr. Bovingdon
Releasing manual version later will probably prolong sales and by the time competition catches up they will hit with manual and "real" driving experience. Not to mention imagine if reviewers would make lap times with manuals?! Oh controversy.
I think the manual is/will be sold out, and they'll introduce the next generation 911 before they build that many 991.2 GT3s, so the 991.2 GT3 is limited production non-limited edition model if that makes sense.
This dude can drive a car... I remember when he reviewed and drifted the 800hp ferrari superfast on public roads... Brilliant mate. Keep it up!!!
Whoever is directing this channel is doing a ludicrously good job.
This should 100% be called EVO LIVE and I LOVE it. It's beautiful to watch, compellingly narrated and the driving is ace. Cheers on yet another great piece. I have to say I can hardly wait to drive this car. Having spent quite a bit of time in the gt3 (991.1) and the rs , I think the PDK Box is the perfect choice. The cars are so quick and so sharp you want your hands on the wheel at all times. A pull on the paddle yields and instant reaction and still "feels" involving in that the change comes straight away. Anyways. Great work Jethro. You have my dream job :)
17k more subs since last video. This channel is gonna explode.... Best motoring channel on CZcams.
Accidently watched it without headphones at first 🙄 please excuse me
the best review of a bunch of them today. Maybe I'm just too bias with Jethros' review but his understanding about Porsche and the GT3 is just on point !
Excellent, I think we all want one like NOW...!
This is a quality channel. consistent good content.
Brilliant video about a BRILLIANT car! The want is VERY strong for this sold out Porsche ;-)
Jethro is amazing as ever. No unwanted shit, plain business and unlike other journalists, his review is much more exhaustive 👍
Best 991.2 GT3 review yet imo!
I'm usually not excited by cars of this caliber as they tend to trounce a bit too far into "supercar" "supertech" territory. But this looks absolutely thrilling. I wish I had the cabbage to pick one of these up! Fantastic review, can't wait for the next part. (And the manual box!!)
Great review as always
Best review of the new GT3 period!
Still one of the best car reviews on youtube 😍
Sounds just like CH. These guys are by far the greatest at what they do!
I love the new look and especially the sound! Oh dear that sound! Thanks Porsche!
The photographer and video editor deserves a raise
Another brilliant review by Jethro. He would be a nice addition to GT or TG. I seriously hope he gets a shot at something like that.
Epic!!!!
One of my absolutely favorite cars.
488 what?? This is a true drivers car. This is a true, raw sportscar👌 And what a sound, what a beauty
one of the best car videos i've seen, and that porsche is stunning, damn
Best review so far
been watching multiple videos of these new 991 911 gt cars gt3 , gt2 rs . and just everyone makes these cars looks SOO DAMN GOOD ! . especially this one ( but in a manual ) i want one ! And jethro , amazing driver and car reviewer . henry catchpole , chris harris and jethro bovingdon NEED to get together and make a youtube car channel.
Wow!!! Awesome review!!!!
I can't stop smiling. Thank you
Those rolling shots were ridiculously good.
Love the video, love the car. Whilst drifting is fun to do and watch, are we able to get a bit more vision of how the cars respond under grip driving in the future?
GeebusCripes I think the 20% chassis rigidity increase makes this drift happy
I'm a simple man I see a new Porsche I like the vid
Amazing review. Amazing background music and editing. And amazing journalist, Jethro is now better than Chris Harris in my opinion. Best auto journalist in the world.
Glorious, Fabulous, Utterly Sensational, from what I have watched!😊❤️
Excellent test amazing machine!
why can´t we see the timed lap in total? :-(
Marcel Pfister Good to see you here, big fan of your vids!
Probably in Part 2
Wow thanks!!!
This is how a supercar review should be like! A man, in a car, with the engine raging in the background... No bullshit action movie music... no bullshit cinematics..... just man and car, ears bleeding, some specs and tears....
Omg, The sound is EPIC
The road noise is a welcome addition to the video :)
When is part 2 being released?.
Epic.
Yesss on the road also, all the other reviews are just at (the albeit amazing Anglesea Track)
and people thought the GT3 merely had an RS motor swap? No way this is a bigger deal. You get both the torque and more revs than that, and it's more durable. It is evolution. And that wing looks so good on the GT3 too. Purely awesome.
Never liked the new 911s. But man, this one really grows on me, and the fact that you can get it with a manual gearbox as well, it's just perfect.
This car and engine is definitively better than the 911R! Looking forward for the road video!
Very entertaining JB :)
Finally !!! A Proper Review
Waiting for this for a while
Almost 7 minutes of powersliding, just perfect
All the drivers of drivetube always look so happy while presentation lol
i would rather have the pdk than the manual but why are the shifter on the wheel and not on columns .p.s this is one of the best channel on youtube not only for automotive keep up the good work awesome camera job , superb editing , good review :)
Damn, how can anyone not like this car... Awesome rear-engine proportions with that big spoiler, the most motorsport-y road car engine short of a 918, 6-speed manual, and daily drivability
Porsche never fails to impress me, the best engineers ever.
Best quality reviews out there, keep it up!
Great vid, would love to see how fast it can push through a bend though. Drifts, drifts, drifts, drifts, drifts...don't get me wrong, I like them, but like anything, better in moderation. Let's see how FAST it is!
Jethro and Henry make for a hell of a partnership
RIP 911R price.
Amazing. I need a GT3 in the stable.
the sound..heavenly
I'd pimp out my wife for a GT3 in manual...
Fuck it, just sell her
Ben Park no wife more money;) atleast car will never leave you hahaha
VerangaF430 Or take half your shit when you decide to trade up 😉.
I own a 2018 GT3 manual in jet black metallic, such an amazing car Porsche got it right on this one.
@@richeisele7174 991.2 gen GT3?
So after all the talk about bringing back the manual and Porsche finally relenting and accepting that need, everyone is testing the PDK! You'd think Porsche would have had one of each to test.
Is there any indication that this will be the motor in the forecoming R.S.? AWESOME!
I'm a simple man. I read 6 cylinder, I hit like.
Also Jethro, is 9,000rpm pretty much the limit Andreas Preuninger stated that these motors can go before reliability issues present? Or do you feel that they could eek them up a little more?
3:19 ... Oh good mother of all that is pure and precious
This engine is the new mezger. It is a motor sport engine. I heard an interview with the designer and he said it is based on the engines used by the race cars I think.
Horace Bernard Milton it is not based on mezger. Last mezger engine is 997 GT3 and GT2
I think he was saying that this i the "new" Metzger. i.e. a suitable replacement
No, it is based on an ordinary 911 production engine. Nothing special, only some parts are changed to meet the requirements of racing.
Racoon Guy on gt 3rs engine production*
I just ask to myself somehting, Drivetribe, "supress" the evo review and all other review of this quality ?
Really Loving the new improvements, to bad your tester wasn't a manual :/
kinda late isn't it (2:00am) where I am atleast, but didn't y'all already did a review on the new gt3 also did the power go down from 500hp+
Good job guys...
I like how they let the engine be louder than Jethro's voice.
Watching this makes me realize why PDK was invented in the first place. Not sure if a manual even suits it, at this point, unlike the Cayman GT4 for example. I hope the manual sells, but I'm starting to have my doubts. If anything, people will buy manuals for collecting purposes.
they really tryna make us beg for that manual
kdot teasing, building anticipation. brilliant
I remember when the 997 Turbo came out and thinking it's 480hp was absolutely mental
great review and gorgeous car. I love every Porsche ever made. Super however? with under 500hp, in this day and age that's not even close to super.
I wonder how this would compare to the 991.1 GT3 RS
What we need is a back to back comparison with the gen1.
It's the best sound I've ever heard
Just sounds awesome
So, when the manual cars Will start arriving in late 2017, can I expect for 997.2 GT3 RS 3.8L cars to finally come down in price? Right now they are bringing somewhere between $150 and 180k in the US. I would buy one of those for $120k a heartbeat!!
