F1, always.

[@EverAngelo]

The F1 just automotive perfection. Thanks Henry and the team, fantastic films.

Easily THE most underrated car channel on KZbin. So humble.

[@alexeymaximov5565]

Absolute nonsense. This is the result of the reviewer having the right connections. His high class accent betrays his privilege. But, oh well life is unjust.

[@cameronburch3532]

@@alexeymaximov5565 Henry Catchpole has been reviewing cars for a long time, yes he has connections, but that can only come with good work. No one is going to let the average Joe drive their multi-million dollar cars.

So glad that DK Engineering came to Carfection to put this video together - utterly sublime. Thank you!

[@swiper1818]

Great combo!

[@TheGreener121]

True, and even more glad these owners where cool with Carfection driving their multi million dollar cars.... if you find any footage of these UFOs its mostly standing still at dealerships or events. Especially the Porsche.

[@Saif0412]

I have to agree 👌

[@KissTheGreat]

There’s a reason why you are the ones who got these and not Mat from carwow 🤣 A proper car channel with real proper journalism

[@andresguerin7162]

Matt only knows how to stomp on the gas of an automatic car. Basically 1/4 racing cars that are built for so much more than that. And the few stick shifts he reviewed, well lets say my late grandma could clutch and shift like a pro compared to him. His car reviews are not of my taste either.

[@andresguerin7162]

Just one thing to ask...please be the one youtuber that stays away from electric cars, these are ruining it all for all petrolhead diehards. Eventually it will be electric self driving cars, and that is what we must all fight against!! Long live dino juice!!

[@Ficon]

Matt got disqualified because he keeps pronouncing Porsche as “Porsh”.

[@KissTheGreat]

@@Ficon also because he has no real meaningful things to say about any cars and is incredibly hilariously inconsistent.

[@andresguerin7162]

@@Ficon sounds like a very legit reason if you ask me! 👌

[@prameshworchhatkuli3459]

Not showing off. He is here to teach us about the cars. And i love it.

[@apancher]

This series is simply spectacular!

[@hectorherbert6585]

How the GT headlights were "hated" on the 996 is a mystery to me.

[@Q-nt-Tf]

same here.

[@TomMannington]

Because they were new and different and attached to a water cooled car so they were automatically bad. Probably also in part because they were so obviously shared with the Boxster headlights due Porsche finances not being in the best state at the time. I like them, but prefer the 996.2 versions more.

[@zlounberg6958]

because they were not seen as GT1 headlights, but rather Boxster headlights

[@Shwnm1490]

Imagine how modern day 911 would look like if the 996 headlights were loved.

[@alexp893]

The 996 is so absurdly underrated. On the plus side it means they are very good value to buy.

[@Skruffet]

10:57 a wild EB110 SS in the background. DK Engineering really brought their A-game. Only missing their F40 LM

[@boogboog8097]

EB110s is my ultimate old supercar, amazing.

[@Skruffet]

@@boogboog8097 I actually got a 1:18 scale model of a silver EB110 for my 1 year birthday that I to this date have on a shelf in my boys room.

[@s.baldrick3807]

This is literally the top tier of car, balancing performace with legendary status.

[@Jackson-sh3bs]

[@Happy_2_Wheels]

It just blows my mind how this channel has "only" just over 900k subs. It is by far, one of the greatest automotive channels right now. Please, keep doing what you are doing.

[@SM-ft2jv]

The colour silver on the right car looks gorgeous

[@steveclark5206]

Definitely! I usually like cars in black or a dark gunmetal gray, but in silver you can see every curve, angle, and beautiful shape of the car.

[@lachie5687]

This. Series. Is. Amazing! Please, if you can, do a series or a side-channel going through classic cars as Petrolicious does, but your own version like this. Would love to see things like the 917 and 330 P4, and I'm sure Henry would love it even more to drive them!

[@autonewstv86]

I'm in no way a Porsche fan-boy, but that is exquisite!

[@mitchellsteindler]

Is it bad to be a fan of something?

[@jlthiess]

I'm in every way a Porsche fanboy, and I agree.

[@barryjohnson5288]

You must not like winning championships? Because Porsche is basically the Michael Jordan of car brands.

[@rickenfatania]

There is such a thing as a Porsche fanboy - Richard Hammond for example. I'm not a fanboy, I like classic Porsches aesthetically but don't get off on most of their modern stuff (also not a fan of the engine in the back). I don't have to make an exception for this car - I like most from this era - and this is styled wonderfully.

[@dark_bull67]

Yeah cuz all of them look the same and ugly

[@TheVeryteddy]

CLK GTR next time.... I can't waaaaait 😭🤤🤩

[@SMlFFY85]

As soon as he finished saying "CLK GTR" at the end, there was a loud clap of thunder outside. Fantastic timing. I wish the 911 GT1 had been styled a tiny bit differently so that the wheels fill out the wheel arches better.

[@astronmr20]

There's always the aftermarket! Lol

[@ranchu8385]

Every Le Mans Racecar is just absolutely memorizing, from Aston Martin DBR1 to Ferrari 330P3, the Ford GT40 MkII, then comes the Porsche's with their Flat-12 917K, and don't forget the group C, with the 962C, the Mazda rotary boy, and the Mercs C9 and C11, then came the Audi, Le Mans is just something else

[@incrideableindia5303]

Every inch of the bodywork drips of gorgeousness. My lungs inflated to their maximum and heartbeat slowed down when the hatch was opened to reveal the engine. That part was pure poetry. Being a hardcore Porsche fan, the 911s always tend to raise my BPM- this one nearly gave me a heart attack. Loved it ❤

[@shagirani5518]

The 3 cars of my dream together in one video.... Thats what i call a present....

[@theodor12]

I love, love, love how this insane 911 GT1 still has Beetle-style pedals!!

[@FAT8893]

I got to admit, this Porsche is my favourite out of the three. It does look more elegant.

[@ireckon7351]

Ah, the 90’s… A legendary decade for cars like these. Amazing!

[@paulmcaleer2736]

I love that this has a PA1000 alarm fob identical to my Dad’s old 993 back in the day!

[@HarryMollyNut]

Easily THE most underrated car channel on KZbin. So humble.

[@jeffreyoldham55]

I'll never forget the epic duels between the GT1 & the CLK GTR cars during the FIA GT race at Homestead , Florida. This was the week after Yannick Dalmas had taken the GT1 airborne at Road Atlanta. Of course, Mark Weber had to ensure that the Mercedes flew even higher. What incredible cars. Thanks for producing this excellent video!

[@thedownshiftchannel]

A worthy brake from wire wheeling my 2002 shell! Thanks

[@HoratioHoodoo]

I came my pants dude thanks

[@liquidtunes]

Slower 0-60, slower top speed and it beat the F1. And then the CLK GTR came and beat this? What a fine series to watch 👏🏻
