In this episode we review the new Porsche 911 GT3 - the 992.2 generation if you like your model numbers. Donning his finest James Hoffmann T-shirt, Henry Catchpole wonders if the choice of options for the GT3 has now made it a bit like coffee. Where once the questions were simply ‘milk and sugar?’ or ‘Clubsport? Colour?’, now you have an almost bewildering number of ways in which you can get your caffeine and naturally aspirated rear-engined kicks.

We drive the new GT3 on both road and track in Spain. For the roads around Valencia we have a GT3 with Touring pack, Lightweight pack, new folding bucket seats and rear seats. The paint is a rather lovely 964 Polar Silver Metallic (a paint to sample colour). With a six-speed manual gearbox, is it most of the way to a 911S/T or is it more of a daily proposition now that it can carry two (small) people in the back?

On the Circuit Ricardo Tormo we drove a GT3 with a wing and a Weissach pack (the first time one has been available on a non-RS GT3), complete with carbon roll cage and the new Magnesium wheels that save 9.1kg or 20lbs over the standard aluminium alloy rims. For the track we also had a PDK gearbox, which, like the manual, has eight per cent shorter ratios than the previous generation.

The new ratios are to help compensate for a slight decrease in overall torque from the 4-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine. It still revs to 9000rpm, sounds amazing and produces 503bhp, but maximum torque has gone down from 347lb ft to 332lb ft. To find out about the challenges of simply keeping the naturally aspirated engine alive in the face of ever more stringent regulations, Henry Catchpole spoke to Andreas Preuninger, Porsche’s Director of GT Cars. They also discussed a different sort of Nurburgring lap time for this generation…

And on the subject of fast laps, Henry jumped on-board with the ever-spectacular Jörg Bergmeister. You won’t want to miss it as he assaults the kerbs with almost unbelievable commitment. It’s worth pointing out that Jörg is also driving exactly the same car as Henry with no special preparation and on the same Michelin Cup 2 tyres (2 R rubber is available as an option).

The price of the new 911 GT3 is £157,300 in the UK and $222,500 in the USA. That is, of course before options, which can quickly add up. The Weissach Package (without carbon roll cage) costs £15,597 or $19,330 while the Lightweight Package for the Touring costs £29,223 or $36,010 and the new folding lightweight bucket seats cost £5,390 or $6860.

We hope you enjoy this review of the new Porsche 911 GT3 on Hagerty. Which variant would you have? Wing? No Wing? Manual? PDK? Let us know in the comments down below. For now we’ll say thank you so much for watching and we hope you have a great day.

Presented in collaboration with Mobil 1.

It's nearly impossible to get clean, "traffic-free" photos on the streets of Tokyo. To do so requires patience, a late night, a lot of caffeine, and some connections with one of the most well-known automotive brands in Tokyo. Liberty Walk invited Larry Chen to photograph their new Lamborghini Miura body kit reveal and the Kaido-racer inspired Nissan Skyline R32. See what it takes to pull off a clean, pedestrian-free photoshoot in the heart of Tokyo.

Sometimes a Porsche 911 with a McLaren Formula 1 engine in the back just isn’t enough, and so we paired the amazing TAG Turbo with the wild 700bhp RUF CTR. And just in case the duo wasn’t eye catching enough on its own, Broad Arrow happened to have access to both in one of the most fabulous Porsche paint colours - Mint Green (mintgrün - code 22R). These are our Extra Strong Mints!

Henry Catchpole certainly had his hands full with this pair at Anglesey circuit, but both delivered unforgettable experiences. The TAG Turbo is one of 11 cars made by Lanzante in tribute to an original Porsche mule. That factory car was built to test the famous turbocharged V6 that McLaren used in its Formula 1 cars from 1983 to 1987, winning three driver’s championships and 2 constructor’s championships. The engine in this particular car, AP87, was used by Alain Prost for three races, with a best result of third place at the 1987 Hungarian Grand Prix.

The original RUF CTR is a legend thanks to the 1980s Yellowbird and the film Fascination on the Nürburgring. This is the modern iteration of that car, now with 700bhp and a carbon fibre chassis (you can find out more about the chassis in our recent RUF film featuring the SCR). With a seven-speed, manual gearbox and 649lb ft of turbocharged torque going to the rear wheels, it certainly lives up to the legend of its wild forebear.

Both cars are fabulously finished and very distinct to drive. The TAG Turbo is incredibly well sorted and nothing like as unruly or one-dimensional as it might sound. Equally, the RUF has a real smoothness and air of usability to it, in spite of the crazy numbers. Another nice link between the two cars is that both six-cylinder engines were originally designed by the legendary Hans Mezger.

We hope you enjoy the film. Let us know in the comments down below which of the two cars you would rather have, given the choice (and budget!). And if you’d like to share the film or give it a thumbs up, that would also be hugely appreciated.
