And now watch Chris Harris' full review of the new 992 GT3 right here: czcams.com/video/jJlyB0teZGQ/video.html
Andreas is such a nice guy. He‘s the absolute best for that job.
TOTALLY AGREE!! the best job in the world!!
absolute legend. i'm scared of what will happen once he retires
So long as Andreas is the head of GT cars, I have zero doubts us enthusiasts are in good hands.
This isn't a Top Gear video, this is a Chris Harris on Cars video. And all the better for it.
Yes! This. Fuck tg! Harris atw
@@Angry-Lynx Guys dont shit on TG. Yea they did a huge mistake, but they got us Chris. And they drop 40 min of this for free. Im thankfull
I truly admire CH because he doesn't overshadow the car, he makes the car the star of the show.
I've always felt JC kept the show centered around him. I liked Jeremy but glad Chris is at the controls now.
Lol, i was about to say the same! Love that the TopGear "bosses" let him do this
@@tbirdboy I can agree. Most of my friends watch Jeremy for Jeremy.
Chris Harris needs his own car show, by far the best motoring journalist around for real car lovers.
Look up Chris Harris On Cars. You will thank me later :)
He has his own CZcams channel.If he had stuck to creating content on it,it would have eventually become bigger than the shitty new topgear.netflix or Amazon probably would have even reached out and struck a deal
He did have one, top gear swooped him up and he’s been busy with that instead but from what I understand he’s now back to being independent so we should be seeing content soon for Chris Harris on cars
Nope, CH only likes drifting...not a good reviewer.
@@grumpycyclist6543 he only likes to drift around is a bit of an odd statement, he set the lap record with the gt2rs mr at portimao and also even if all he did is drift around... which car guy doesn’t like to yob around?
The best engineers in this business all radiate such calm. No hype, no posing, just finesse.
They didn't reveal this much in carfection 😂.
Yeah the thumbnail made me feel so excited in thinking it had been officially launched! But this a cool stop gap until then.
Yeah I wasn’t expecting to see that much after Carfection was only able to show a wheel lol
Came for this comment
Henry: "Am I a joke to you?"
Waiting for the next video tomorrow when they will show a little more lol
"This Thug...Have a look at this THUG, here." -Chris Harris with the most accurate description of a GT2RS, ever uttered. (25:25)
This might be my favourite car video of all time... two god-level afficiandos giving us a lesson in the Porsche GT family. Loved every second of this! Thank you.
Chris Harris is such a gem, you can tell he's in his nerdy element here. And we all are too.
This and that video of him in that 80-90’s car storage full or pristine BMWs, Mercs etc is Chris in his pure nerd heaven. You can feel the enthusiasm radiating from the screen. Lovely
Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Harris at his finest. Geeking hard about technically insanely cool cars.
Andreas is an incredible guy. You can feel the passion and love for cars and motorsport in all the explanations he gives to Chris. It would be incredible to chat with him for hours about the GT cars from Porsche. Definetly the best man for this Job
“I’m not interested in third party options”
The most Chris Harris thing I’ve ever heard
40 minutes with Chris Harris in a room of Porsches? Life doesn't get any better than this.
😄👍
I totally agree with you my friend !! Pure happiness !
The internet breaths a sigh of relief. Chris Harris is back doing what he does best.
Nah the trio isn’t at its best
YES! really hope top gear lets more of this kind of filming take place!
At 28:09 woah! nice official Amy Rose livery of 2021 Porsche 911 GT3 for
Sonic The Hedgehog 30th anniversary next year!
What's that, sitting on a 200 000$ car ? What the hell man stand up ...
@@fredericklaroche6783 it was so hard for me to breathe 🧘♂️ had me going bonkers! If that was my car I’d jump across that hood and slap him. On camera. Really hard. Then I’d bite his ear off. Just saying... he was not scared to put his greasy fingers and heavy butt on any of those cars 🤭🤯🤬
These two together are pure magic. They have such a great history.
Love Andreas just casually sitting on the cars, these definitely aren't garage queens "just shut up and drive"
Oh yes 40 minutes with Chris Harris and the new GT3, Thank God!
At first I was annoyed that they kept talking over each other, but then I realized that they're both just so excited to talk about these cars.
Talking over people is still annoying even if you’re excited.
...and they have a history!
Have you talked with many people in your lifetime? I didn’t notice them trying to talk over each other at all. I noticed real conversation and excitement about the things they were talking about.
Whoa, I can't believe that was 41 minutes. I was suspended in a GT3 time warp.
Jaw literally dropped when he uncovered the back, he must really love you Chris!
The carfection dude is fuming right now
I would if was Henry because he only got 24 minutes and Chris got 40 minutes with Andy!
I don't like top gear with Chris Harris they will find somebody like Clarkson
I doubt they’ll contact Clarkson cause he has some sense and can see that they all look the same
@@Luka-rs7hb I like clarkson & Chris Harris but can't stand Paddy and the cricket dude.
You think Carfection have not filmed the final car? Just lol.
Two car dudes talking about a porsche for 40min. It GENUINELY gives me so much joy!!! The chemistry between the two guys is soooooooo cooool
just watching these gentlemen talk so passionately about these Porsches is soooo amazing. seeing how happy they are brings a smile to my face.
Legend Chris couldn’t believe he lifted it!!
Harris has to continue doing this style of videos.
@@thisisntgood71 You're completely missing the point.
That garage is just😘🥰
Douno how it feel about chris leaning on the cars with jeans on .
I'd just love to sit in a pub with these two and listen to story after story.
Not a pub, just that garage with a few beers while leaning on the fenders hahaha
Pathetic
after story after story ah yes as we drink bavarian bier
Love the chemistry between these two. Chris is such a great dude.
„I can‘t take the cover off, i will lose my job if i do.“
„Cmon take the back off!“
„Okay.“
He's too valuable for the company anyways haha. The guy has been making GTs for 20 years
NO MEANS NO Chris
@@LandingNow The „protest“ was staged anyways
@@heiemilchmithonig6226 AP has many talents, acting isn't one of them :D
He wore him down by reminiscing about the past.
When Chris says most people think about beautiful women or men, but he thinks about *this*... I felt that
Cars > Humans
@@DefinitelyNotEmma nothings more important than humans in this universe
@@Luka-rs7hb well, to some degrees, without us cars could not drive :P
@@DefinitelyNotEmma motorcycle>cars> people
@@jtab5392 objectively wrong, sorry
Chris spends 40 minutes leaning on every single Porsche in the garage
I also cringed every time ..
The ownwer sat on one so. I guess its not a big deal. (eddited sat on several) Im watcthing and comenting . Having said that I sat on my mates dads 67 Impala pulled out of a barn (full of rat piss and shit) and i got dragged over the coals. A bloody tank and he cracked the shits yes I should not have but come on.
@@simeonorive145 I'd be lucky to have just seen a 67 come out of a barn
I find it stupid and disrespectful to sit on every Porsche.
@@comdrive3865 I drove it out of the padock and down to the farm house on flat spotted tyres head out the window trying to breath over the stench inside. Was fun though.
It’s like being in a room full of super models. They all look different but equally beautiful and excites you all the same.
The highlight of every Porsche GT Presentation: Andreas Preuninger.
But I love how Chris grounds him with the 996 gt3 running out of brakes before getting into the meat and potatoes
Fraser Wright wasn't that car developed before Andreas took over though?
He doesn't talk about his team...
@@404nobrakes this is true
Sitting on the car like he owns it 18:34
So refreshing to hear - “I loved the CSL, it was a good competitor”, rather than bashing the competition. The love of performance cars just shines through, great video.
Reminds me of a story
When Honda/Acura was developing the new NSX, they obviously bought and tested cars from their competitors, including a GT3.
They eventually had to bring it to the dealer for a recall, and when they got the car back, they found a hidden message behind the engine cover:
"Good luck Honda from Porsche. See you on the other side."
They had posed as normal customers, but the data left in the black box gave them away
@@RIKUMIU123 Ha! Great story, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I caught that too. Truly a class act and honestly, a great presenter in his own right. Would've to see more videos with this Porsche exec!
From an E46 M3 enthusiast (and an Alpina B3 3.3 owner = ), can't help but have the greatest respect for that statement.
Whilst that's true he also clearly knows the GT products still wiped the floor off the CSL
Chris Harris is the best car journalist. I feel his pain when he says he can’t criticize it because he didn’t drive it.
he is so critical yet realistic. He doesnt hate car brands like Clarkson.
@@RyanB571 I mean Clarkson, was more a Showman tho
I remember watching this video one year ago. Now I own one. Thanks Chris, Thanks Andreas for the good work!
You came to see 27:58
I love how he just says: "Common, take the back off"
And Andreas actually does it :D
Both absolute legends
it's still under embargo :))))) ... O-Keeeeeee ;)
28:33
No i came to enjoy every minute
@@boomerang-digital8514 Yeah your're right actually - well worth every second!
40 minutes went by in 5, you can really feel the love and passion Andreas has for his projects. I've never had Porsche posters above my bed but since I own one of Andreas (and his team) creations I have become a real fanboy, can't wait for the 992 GT3 RS! ❤️
Haha...I honestly thought it was ~20 mins long until your comment that made me look back at the video length
Absolutely. I didn’t even finish my drink (barely remembered to blink)
2 Major Car Dudes, in a Major Garage. Major Major Go.

This is what you get when you get an actual car enthusiast working on a car instead of pen pushers in the accounting department. His passion for the Porsche GT cars is truly infectious and judging by his previous cars this one should be another masterpiece.
I felt so naughty when he started uncovering only parts of the car... I can’t explain it 😅
Honestly I bet Chris and AP are the only two in the company that could get away with that
Striptease
@@codyh2492 but better
I thought it was disgusting on CZcams's part not censoring it. It clearly is porn.
Kudos to Andreas for having the vision, creativity, esthetics and fortitude to produce such outstanding cars for decades. You, sir, are a gift to the world.
This might just be the best video on CZcams for a Porsche fan like me.
I love how the Germans are like "I loved the CSL it was a goo competitor" great to see such mutual respect. Also the 997 is the best looking modern, liquid cooled generation of 911 in my opinion.
A shame bmw has fallen off, nothing in the lineup even comes close to the new gt3
Porsche, Mercedes and BMW , are competitors and not enemies. They speak to each other a lot more then you would think.
@@adpmol They understand that the same love for the automobile is there, it's just spoken in different languages
They also all benefit from that involvement and understanding. They are protecting the German Engineering “brand”. Remember VW and dieselgate? BMW and Mercedes step forward and offered imediately legal representation and help in sustaining a case. Hence Herr Merkell called them all to have chat... 😏 Clever patriotic people 👍
@@E9X330 maybe they will make a comeback. 2021 we will see M3/4 GT3 right ? Replacing the current M6 there. Maybe that will help a lot the road cars. Their HP4 race was build with the same purpose and they transformed the road bike
That was the fastest 41 mins of my life. Absolutely flew by
18:48 the authenticity of this conversation is amazing, I love it
BREAKING NEWS: Top Porsche engineer murdered; prime suspect is a 6”4 lanky bloke who looks like a cross between Wolverine and Harry Potter
How he casually sits/leans on these cars...
I have never clicked so fast to see a new Porsche GT3!!
Haha me too. I saw Chris Harris and GT3 and my finger almost busted my screen
Looks the same as the old one lol they all look the same 😂
Once you have seen 1, you have seen them all.
I'm excited for a new GT2 RS, the last one was the most beautiful and powerful 911
Gt3 is a simphony
That's one of them olden days 'Chris harris on cars' masterpieces right there.
These two need their own show. Its amazing how all the stats, history, and opinions are still right at the fore of their minds, ready to be deployed the instant it's relevant. Great stuff here.
I could watch and listen to them talk about every car in that room and the stories they've had. Well done.
Can't wait to experience one on the Ring! What a machine!
Can't wait for the vid
Legend has it that behind every gt2rs is a deep desire to get pancakes.
This is PORNSCHE! 😅
A beast
Must be a nice feeling knowing you will haha. Love you dude.
Chris, honestly, this is the type of content that I know myself, my friends & colleagues with a petrol bent & others online are yearning for. The views from motoring based CZcamsrs are high but not one could deliver content like this (but as it’s motoring content, it’s gets consumed in high volumes BUT a percentage of those viewing stats are those, like me, who just want motoring content full stop & make do with the youthful approaches). This piece didn’t brag, boast, shout or approach the subject with immaturity - instead, you got the right guy, the right content & the tone bang on. Thank you.
I won’t comment on TG because I believe the audience is more "entertainment" bias now (and there’s a place for that) but true, informed, informative, geeky & detail focussed motoring content like this is HUGELY admired & yearned for. Harry’s Garage the other benchmark too.
This & the recent "future of EV" piece are a new level - and one that isn’t being delivered quite yet. Please recognise the demand for this type of content - and design a channel which can deliver it.
That was the most pleasurable 40 minutes I have spent in front my computer this Christmas - thank you!! Massive respect for Chris Harris too - what a great motoring journalist!
Love when Chris says, “the people who love these things will sit here and listen to the details all day long” 👍
This was so interesting learning engineering concept etc. That I stayed here with Chris the whole 40min
I love watching Chris Harris. Knowledge, skills behind the wheel, and honest dialogs with all... Awesome content with a true trip down memory lane while looking through that door to the future... Thank you...
I love this new path of top gear, not making Chris do things Clarkson liked instead letting him do things Chris likes.
So ur saying Hammond and James were forced to bring cars that Clarkson liked when they were on the show and talk about things?
@@CaseysRepository I was only comparing Chris to Clarkson, because hes the lead.
I wasnt aware they were doing that but im glad they let Chris be himself, true car.guy and not show monkey like those former old 3 farts
@@standopowah thats absolutely what im saying. They are showmans, nothing more, they have no real knowledge about cars, both technical and driving skills, knowledge in general. clarkson especially.
To be fair, at least May and Clarkson were car journalists (although with Clarkson I get the feeling the 'car' bit is incidental - he could be doing anything, as long as he's getting attention), whereas Hammond was just a local radio guy I believe. Not slating any of them (not for that, at least!) but Harris has cars in his bones in a way that none of those three do.
I just loved this whole video!
Wait Nigel Saunders likes Porsche’s!!!!
BB bobblingen Germanys finest whorehouses
💯💯💯💯
me also
The kind of history class I wanna sit in
I could listen all day long. I love the knowledge and passion. Thanks Top Gear.
I like how he didn’t even know what drag racing was called
Only Americans care about drag race 😂
@@jairo3605 sadly its' seeped into the UK car culture too. bloody audi RS drivers!
@@FenderUsa I wouldn’t say it’s steeped in U.K. car culture. We don’t have traffic lights every 1/4 mile.
Exactly , just not important to him, because it isn't...
As far as I know, tgere isn't a german word for drag racing. (I'm German.) Sorry if I'm mistaken.
Easily watched this from start to finish, didn't skip nothing, I'll probably rewatch it later on again
Yup. Saved it for future re-watching
Shush
What a wonderful video - the hairs rose on the back of my neck at the end. Such a pleasure to see Andreas and Chris having a chat in that garage. Really interesting to hear Andreas tell that he and his whole team do back-to-back testing between older GT3s and the new iteration to ensure it feels part of the family.
Andreas is such a nice fella.
This is just bang on. The only way you can create content like this, is by developing your network in the automotive industry for years and years. You can generate views with a lot of production money, but fundamental quality and love for cars and car-people cannot be faked. Keep doing what you do best Chris, it is mindblowing. Perfection.
"I'm not the other people, I'm A.P." Absolute boss.
Lol best comment, I mean. It’s his car.
czcams.com/video/DxqtANOU5zk/video.html look the cars here
Duuude this is probably one of the best CZcams videos ever made on Porsche’s!
I’ve never really appreciated Porsche that much. After watching this and understanding the amount of detail within each car I have to say I’m sad I didn’t pay them the attention they deserve before hand. Fantastic video as always Chris. Best in the business.
Love how Harris used his relationship to get a glimpse of the car
You can tell they both love the car(a)
That 40 minutes went by very quickly indeed. There is a place for this content, I so wish Chris was allowed to do more of it for TG, real - in depth - enthusiast content.
I loved this video, a beautiful history lesson on the wonderful GT garage 😍
I can’t stop watching this video these 2 guys are awesome in a sea of 911’s 🏁
Andreas and his engineering team is a German national treasure. As an engineer, I deeply appreciate the work of GT engineering team.
"You can't see the front without the back" god I love you, Chris Harris!
I've been watching Chris for a long time. He always makes great videos.. going sideways or taking about past drives..
I've missed Chris Harris videos on youtube, this one reminded me of the pre auction garage video (forget the title) with the 6 series Alpinas and old V12 SL's. No one has enthusiasm like Harris. National treasure.
27:53 the excitement on Chris's face when Andreas said i can give you a glimpse.
Hands down the best automotive video I've watched in years. The passion from both of you comes through on video. The history of Chris with Porsche and the stories behind the cars you've driven is fun to hear. Keep up the great work.
This has to be the greatest Porsche video on YT.. Could listen to these two all day!!
The best Porsche video EVER PLEASE do more of these.
This... this was wonderful. The rapport formed over years between Chris and Andreas made for a far more candid interview. Andreas showed much more of the new car than I thought he was going to.
I just groaned. Audibly groaned. My wife thinks I'm watching porn.
She's not incorrect.
Such a lovely video, I enjoyed every minute. Great to hear some of the background stories.
Such a great video. Can watch it over and over again with all this history. Thank god for the PDK stick change from regular 992. Andreas, you are right people who use PDK do shift manually on the stick and thank you for bringing it back to GT3!
I enjoyed every second of this ,such good chemistry between two genuine car guys, cheers!
Chris harris is a legend, we literally saw the whole car besides the door
The door is the most important part and they didn't show it 😔
Clearly has a great relationship with the designers
@@tunalad the door is probably the same as the whole 992 lineup
Never wanted a GT3 more than after watching this video.
That was probably the best motor vehicle video I have ever seen! It was more than a treat to have the head of development walk through the models with the stories...
Amazing tour. Thanks a lot.
This was the loveliest 40 mins I've spent on watching something in a long while. Was hoping for some Speedster love...
Yeah my 2020 just became a lot better
@@720sobsessed6 hew was most likely referring to 2020 as a whole not a Speedster he owns
Did you listen to Chris's podcast with Gordon Murray? If not, you're welcome.
Feel like I'm looking at someone's wife when he lifted that; kinda felt bad that he agreed to lift it 😭 gorgeous car
I felt the need to avert my gaze. Surely I shouldn't be peeping at such an intimate moment
Also: The 996 Narrow body will always have my heart, but you are absolutely correct that the 997 Gen 1 looks amazing with age too and now it shares some of that lust for me.
996 is really ugly compared to 997
Brilliant video thank you Chris. I’ve got a 450HP 992 911S and love it
got chills down my spine when i saw the back of the GT3. wooooow !!
The back is a friggin masterpiece. I literally gasped.
@@Gltokensp06 Litterally same! Holy fuck it is sick
I’m impressed by Pep Guardiola‘s knowledge of cars
Guardiola is a stupid coach
That’s funny ...
Hahaha!
So, Speedster or Touring?
I'm leaning towards Speedster
So much passion in this video, i love this guy. This tipes of videos makes Top Gear what it is nowadays.
Amazing, amazing, amazing video. More car collection tours please.
I never thought I'd say this….but…I want a Porsche, specifically the new GT3 in that launch spec. Wow.
I had a 1983 SC 911 Convertible, bought it just before the "Air cooled Porsche" prices sky rocketed, had it for 3 years, sold it, made a nice profit. To this day I still miss her, she went like shit off a stick, original everything, starter motor, wheels, engine, oil pump, fuel lines, 294 Thousand Klms on the clock & she didn't miss a beat.
It looks incredible.
Me too. Been saying for years these cars are average at best. clicking on all the you tube videos... watching it all the time saying, what’s up with this Porsche brand? 🤷♂️ but finally.... they came up with a “new” 911. It’s got 23 more HP than the last one and new bi zenon headlights in purple. That does it now... I finally want one! Where do I sign?
Once Porsche love stings you, you're changed for life haha
Sorry Porsche. I still love the 991 GT3 RS
What a delightful movie. Fully engrossed in 2 grown men talking so fondly about a subject they clearly both adore 😊
Absolute fantastic video, you can sense the love both guys have for the cars and the stories are great. Love Chris doing what he does better than anyone else and Andreas is not your typical luxury car company big wig. Please make more of these Chris.
Truly captivating video and not only the cars. Thank you, gentlemen.
Naturally aspirated in 2020!!!...are u guys serious it's like winning miss universe without even applying lip gloss!!!
*Ferrari and Lamborghini enter the chat*
Well it wouldn’t be a gt3 if it was turbo
I mean, there are still plenty NA cars you can buy new today or in the future, ans I think as long as the american big three continue to exist, there will always be an NA V8 you can buy.
4:17 Panic attack when Chris decides to lean on the car with jeans. 😭
Same goes for Mr. GT. He does it multiple times even.
I dont have a Porsche but i can understand why, jeans have metal parts and once an auto mechanic deep cut into my leather seat with his jeans, that idiot slided around with his ass on the seat.
All probably ceramic coated
@@danbarb9728 i did exactly that with my wife's brand new BMW on leather seats... Not my finest hour (not entirely my fault tbh, all I did was sit in it!). Jeans are a menace to cars and watching them both sit on the side of them made me cringe so fucking bad. Then again, they both own Porsches and I don't so maybe that's why...
I cringe every time they do it.
Such a great watch! amazing passion and very very good insight into some of the GT3 evolution.
