“You’d the pay the money for the engine alone—sounds magnificent, doesn’t it?”
Though Chris Harris has an appreciation for the entire Porsche lineup, he genuinely adores the GT3. Few cars make him wax lyrical like the 9,000-rpm screamer does, and troughout this flamboyant lap at the Top Gear test track, Harris shows repeatedly why he believes this 991.2 GT3 “remains the best.”
There are quite a few things that make this Harris’ undying favorite. The four-liter engine, now with more torque than ever, makes him grin and giggle like a schoolboy. The communicative steering, playfulness, and balanced chassis allows Harris to pull off some of the silkiest slides seen on the program. The composure over bumps and curbs make it so usable in a variety of surfaces, and in a variety of angles. Best of all, the pure-bred GT3 refrains from forced induction and keeps that honest character that allows it to compete with cars like the 812 Superfast.
The way the enthusiasm pours out of the Brit by the bucketful pushes me to start considering which organs I’d have to sell to afford one of the beauties.
