REVIEW: Porsche 911 GT3 - the new 493bhp supercar tested on track

[@miguelvs]

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.

[@tbillington]

Agreed. This reminds me of Chris Harris on Cars from 4 years ago. It's a great quality video.

[@ArunNarasimhan_arun1997107]

Except Jethro has been this good all along. Even when he was at Evo,and now when he's at Drivetribes

[@Paul_Zernick]

Miguel Vasconcelos Jethro and Henry, good enough for me. Loving dt so far!

[@berca76]

Harris is still here and doing amazing videos! But Jethro is also brilliant!

[@JoeAchilles1]

Totally agree!

[@konahead]

the sound of that engine. just orgasmic.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

konahead F1 exhaust is orgasmic this is just the sound of a stock Porsche.

[@Mockle07]

Tyler Hoeve ..... Stock?! You're kidding right?

[@Mockle07]

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)

[@M3Conv]

Todays F1 cars just make 'noise', they sound like crap with their tiny turbo/e engines

[@samuelding4940]

Glad to see four videos of the new GT3 in a few hours and this one is probably the best... good job

[@Zygrene]

Jethro + RWD + 9000rpm = thumbs up

[@Perazzi11]

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 :)

[@Zygrene]

Ha, win/win for both of us!

[@Adamk24]

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.

[@CJSVlogs]

This channel proves you just put out quality car videos and the audience will come.

[@SWatchik]

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.

[@VirusTornado]

I literally don't care about CHM trio. I'm here for Jethro and Henry to be honest.

[@hirumi9]

Jethro and Henry ftw

[@Camhin1]

Porsche have the best engineers in the world. Their cars are nuts.

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

Camhin1 Koenigsegg, then either porsche or mclaren

[@AArata63]

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.

[@blanntaka]

they do beat porsche in breaking down

[@eddgrs9193]

that joke was funny, Ferrari and good engines, lol, thanks for the laugh !

[@Cheeseypoofs85]

Fast Er weren't the 458s the ones that caught fire from oil temps. lmao

[@spigdon]

You can have 600 or 700hp, I don't care, revving to a high rpm will always trump power figures

[@AArata63]

NEVER. I hate Trump.

[@pcpedroariel]

+Fast Er Good noone cares

[@stefanfreestylez]

matt farah doesnt think so lol

[@pcpedroariel]

Nope, I am not the one making retarded Trump statements at totally unrelated videos.

[@antilagboostaddiction8322]

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.

[@matthewortega5492]

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?)

[@EddieVedder13]

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.

[@jruddigon]

Connor Shields it’s probably because it is not smiling anymore haha :) look at the front bumper

[@allensaunders449]

this has in a short become one of my favorite car review channels everyone is so good at there job

[@michaelmcdonald9847]

It's so refreshing to see a sports car with regular colored wheels for once

[@MoJo-2977]

Michael McDonald it looks so damn better

[@the-boring-car-guy]

They do look really right on this car

[@the-boring-car-guy]

I am a sucker for good black wheels though

[@dln.sweeney]

I'd have it with the pinstripe.

[@hasanal-habbobi4018]

I hate normal wheels, this is not a normal car so the wheels should be more special

[@stevedwong1346]

By FAR The Best audio sound track of ANY Automobile presented on You-Tube.

[@lepotanCCCC]

paused at 00:05 to comment: BEST 991GT3 MK2 REVIEW SO FAR. PROBABLY THE BEST EVER. Thank you Mr. Bovingdon

[@jennyfromjapan]

jethro and crew. this was too good. please keep up the awesome work - we really appreciate the quality content and perspective you guys bring.

[@matp111-9]

jenny from japan hope they are not sucked into TV, like most you tubers do once they become too good.

[@iamthatiz]

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!

[@clubsport9334]

17k more subs since last video. This channel is gonna explode.... Best motoring channel on KZbin.

[@Kronos0999]

911 GT3 is probably the best all-round supercar right now.

[@Kronos0999]

Notice I said *Supercar* not Hypercar.

[@Shadowboost]

Kronos 720S

[@Kronos0999]

+Shadowboost Not out yet. And even then, it'll be...."clinical". No passion, just precision.

[@Supcharged]

all-round? 911 turbo>gt3

[@Shadowboost]

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

[@tootalltube]

JB... Love your work! Especially the pauses in your commentary... I end up grinning the whole way through!

[@ookiichinko]

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 !

[@cruishon]

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!!!

[@ParisGentlemandriver]

Awesome production guys ! Keeps getting better every new upload !

[@that.guy11]

Drivetribe's my first stop now that the GT3 embargo's been lifted...i made the right choice! Stunning work guys, awesome content

[@patrickrollins2710]

Whoever is directing this channel is doing a ludicrously good job.

[@carlitoxb110]

This channel is in a whole new level, thanks for sharing!

[@GranDaddo]

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.

[@VirusTornado]

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.

[@TheAslakVind]

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!

[@qikqbn77]

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!!.

[@TimsEnthusiastGarage]

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 :)

[@sanketsinha9488]

Jethro is amazing as ever. No unwanted shit, plain business and unlike other journalists, his review is much more exhaustive 👍

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Sounds just like CH. These guys are by far the greatest at what they do!

[@taforth]

Best 991.2 GT3 review yet imo!

[@samakshuppal]

Better than the 911R? Hell yeah!

[@tmmason10]

This is a quality channel. consistent good content.

[@justinlangley9522]

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.

[@danmasterj9822]

Still one of the best car reviews on youtube 😍

[@nafishasnian1367]

Best review of the new GT3 period!

[@ryanm3797]

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!!)

[@tbillington]

Those rolling shots were ridiculously​ good.

[@jortepap]

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

[@longtailgt]

The photographer and video editor deserves a raise

[@sebastianbunea5174]

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.

[@SupercarAdvocates]

Excellent, I think we all want one like NOW...!

[@tadficuscactus]

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.

[@earthlen]

Horace Bernard Milton it is not based on mezger. Last mezger engine is 997 GT3 and GT2

[@aglaycock1]

I think he was saying that this i the "new" Metzger. i.e. a suitable replacement

[@racoonguy9001]

No, it is based on an ordinary 911 production engine. Nothing special, only some parts are changed to meet the requirements of racing.

[@123subbatyp]

Racoon Guy on gt 3rs engine production*

[@elms350z]

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.

[@9NoOnE1]

Accidently watched it without headphones at first 🙄 please excuse me

[@ravenstylea2]

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.

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

why can´t we see the timed lap in total? :-(

[@runelink2]

Marcel Pfister Good to see you here, big fan of your vids!

[@WeJustDrive]

Probably in Part 2

[@MixedRealitySimRacing]

Wow thanks!!!

[@mariodiniz21]

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.

[@logankatzify]

I'm a simple man I see a new Porsche I like the vid

[@YachtReport]

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.

[@WillEDMr]

one of the best car videos i've seen, and that porsche is stunning, damn

[@Parabloop3r]

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

[@slaWterCH]

I love the new look and especially the sound! Oh dear that sound! Thanks Porsche!

[@DavidMa1992]

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....

[@petedavis8701]

Best UK tester on You Tube

[@racoonguy9001]

Nah, Shmee 150 and MrJWW are better.

[@ark14700]

Chris Evans is best

[@ReidEvers]

Lol... They're good but Jethro is next level. Not even close.

[@CaleDeRoo33]

I can't stop smiling. Thank you

[@1hasingh]

The road noise is a welcome addition to the video :)

[@kanwarsidhu7348]

3:19 ... Oh good mother of all that is pure and precious

[@christianb.4385]

Best review so far

[@jerusdc]

Omg, The sound is EPIC

[@Angel-yv2lz]

Almost 7 minutes of powersliding, just perfect

[@Ohhdeeds]

Porsche never fails to impress me, the best engineers ever.

[@tremulant2388]

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.

[@JoeAchilles1]

Brilliant video about a BRILLIANT car! The want is VERY strong for this sold out Porsche ;-)

[@Cyprus16M]

Great review as always

[@jpdw7543]

This car and engine is definitively better than the 911R! Looking forward for the road video!

[@Porkerr]

Best quality reviews out there, keep it up!

[@voyagermission3000]

All the drivers of drivetube always look so happy while presentation lol

[@timwolke]

991.2 GT3 and 458 Speciale over the 991.2 Turbo S and 488 GTB. I don't care if the second cars are faster, the first ones sound incredible and rev up to 9000 rpm.. nothing gets better than that!

[@tan9640]

Jethro and Henry make for a hell of a partnership

[@quintinkrivacek9800]

I remember when the 997 Turbo came out and thinking it's 480hp was absolutely mental

[@alexpeak16]

I thought Porsche has lost their way with engines in recent times. The turbo Boxster/Cayman sound atrocious but with the GT3, they've really proved me wrong. The top end is unbelievable! Compared with everything else in its class and price range, this is in a different league!

[@Mantenner]

I'm a simple man. I read 6 cylinder, I hit like.

[@apt62]

RIP 911R price.

[@stevebanshee9768]

[@ethanmiller1050]

Yesss on the road also, all the other reviews are just at (the albeit amazing Anglesea Track)

[@ethanmiller1050]

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?

[@Ciggiebreak]

When is part 2 being released?. Epic.

[@sef_halabi]

The Perfect car

[@radektrembac6598]

I like how they let the engine be louder than Jethro's voice.

[@saskwotch19764]

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!

[@cp9967]

What we need is a back to back comparison with the gen1.

[@hmm2928]

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 :)

[@bobbybass7972]

Finally !!! A Proper Review

[@6pistons]

The new 991.2 GT3 is nearly identical as the current GT3RS. Can't wait to see what the new GT3RS is going to be like.

[@SkarnDeBrax]

I just ask to myself somehting, Drivetribe, "supress" the evo review and all other review of this quality ?

[@JPandCompany]

Amazing. I need a GT3 in the stable.

[@tan9640]

Waiting for this for a while

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

So it is basically a narrow body, slightly updated 991.1 GT3 RS with a little more mid-range tq and a few other tidbits. Too bad that as he admitted, perhaps the biggest difference is the proper 6MT gearbox, but it wasn't avail to test. Too bad

[@skngslng]
