Best Australian car video I’ve ever seen. So often they are embarrassing when viewed against the British reviews. Well done guys.

One of the best gt3 review videos I have seen!
That Scenery, That Engine !!!!, OMG That CAR !!!!!!!!
Amazing cinematography, road selection and content. Just the right balance of commentary vs. car footage. Great job 👍!
Ok, that was a seriously epic opening. Outstanding work!

Thanks Rick!
I've got the magazine, I've been frothing over the pictures... Love the Miami blue perfect colour choice.
Agreed, one of the best Australian car reviews Ive ever seen. And well done on finding a good road, most places in Australia, go 2kmh over the limit and SWAT comes out from behind a bush armed with a ticket
Just an amazing car! Manual for me. Great video
My god you guys have outdone it - the Ford Falcon vs Holden Commodore was outstanding but this is just another level. AMAZING!
Great review, beautifully produced. Deserves a big audience. Thanks
Absolutely Fantastic Video Matey !! As a "Yank" who spent 8 years in magnificent Oz (4 in Mel"bun") very familiar with the amazing Grampians...What a location, what a video, what a car! As someone who watches hundreds of Car mags and KZreadrs' videos from all over the world, this is by far the best Video by an Aussie journalist I have ever seen (The only Videos that come close are some from Car Advice, but they are inconsistent in quality and presentation)...its just the way all the elements for a great video are brought together, and the location definitely helps. Reminds me of the best British Vids...well done, and hope to see more of your work with great cars and great locations in Victoria / NSW.
this videography was phenomenal i truly loved it, appreciate the work that went into this. re the whole PDK vs manual question- i had two 991 Porsche 911s in PDK, both were very dull to drive. and in sport plus, the damn thing would almost stall at stop lights on occasion. traded the 991 911 career S for a 2015 R8 manual. a month ago, suddenly a 991.2 GT3 manual transmission became available locally at dealership (typical wait list here is 1-2y to order one). i jumped on it and traded 2 cars to get it. its easily the best car i have ever driven. thanks again for a fabulous video review!!
Great review and cinematography - well done!
Great video directing awesome angles and shots , narration on point ! you guys are very professional esp for youtube and deserve way more subs
One of the rare, good Australian Car Reviews. Most Australian car reviews are extremely generic and dont even touch upon what its like as a performance car, instead just talking about numbers and some really basic points. Loved it
Loved this video! First I've watched on this channel and will definitely check more out. Camera work, B-roll, music and presentation were all wonderful.
This is great Wheels! So well shot and great info about the car.
Amazing work. Has to be said, location even outshines the car. Everything is on Point in this video.
Nice video.. now hidden speed cameras every 400 meters, thats revenue earning for you.
Great Cinematography. Well done. Awesome review.
Great video, great road, I do get up at 5am for a blast in my car may be not a GT3 but I still have a lot of fun in my Renault megane rs265, more videos like this please 😀

Thanks Chris. The Megane RS265 is still one of our favourite hot hatches. We'll try to shoot a similar vid to this on the new RS when it arrives later this year.
Subscribed because of this video. Hope that the rest of the content is of similar, excellent quality. Very good work!!

Great review. Top shelf. I love my tuned e90 M3 DCT. Has a great noise at 8200rpm with it's Akra Evo. Must go to the Grampians. I'll keep it but I need the Porsche too. Now just have to figure out how to do it !
Was suspect when clicking on this review pleasantly surprised, very informative and accurate information (as I knew most of it;) just ordered a graphite blue touring. Let the wait begin!
Love the video and edit. Subscribed. Great to see Australian reviews at new levels. I know you mentioned the stretch of road but where exactly was the shot at 00:57 and 1:18

Ross Johnson that was the stretch off the highway from Horsham towards Halls gap. Safe to say 90% is shot on that Rd.
You guys deserve a minimum of 1 million subscribers!
Good to see that some people actually rate those mountain passes as good as Euro stuff!
wow best review i've seen please keep it up! go porsche!
I am more than happy with this video than ever before. I very much and mostly appriciate the fact that the location is stated in this video.I would also like to note the fact that the presenter properly drives the way which sports car needs to be expirienced (fast). Its my humble request for you to mention the filming locations in the upcoming videos going forward. I suggest to film in new locations every time so that we as Drivers will be better informed of the best driving roads in Australia. Hope for replys and comments to put forward my message
Excellent review. Thank you. Awesome car.
Awesome video guys! (very rare that I say that about an Australian car video, sadly)
First class review. The steering and communication from the chassis needs to be experienced to be truely understood and appreciated. Love my M3's and RS Audis but this really is another universe. Gotta get to that road and drive it.
You are soo right about the terrain looking South African, that looks right out of Cape Town. Any particular reason why the wipers kept switching on? Brilliant video either way.
Whats your opinion of the folding bucket seats which looks like what your car is spec'd with. I reckon its the better all round option in lieu of the full bucket seats which are only height adjustable but lighter..?
EXCEPTIONAL video and review. How good is this thing ?! I suppose the only thing missing is a slight bit of Chris Harris "wallying" and "giggling". Stunning images both of the car and the Grampians... 👍
Great video!! Very well done!!
Wow. Seriously impressive video.
thoughts on the extended range fuel tank? i'd hate to run out of gas while going to the middle of no where!
Great video. Greetings from Iowa. 👍🏽
What a car, every true motor enthusiast will have this as one of thier dream cars, the dream lives on for me
Does the Radical RXC V8 count??? 10500 rpm I think but not sure if available in OZ.
First time I've seen this Alex dude. It's refreshing to see an Aussie who can deliver lines a little more naturally for once! He certainly still has room for improvement though. I'm sick of Aussie motoring mag videos showing cars bumbling around at pedestrian pace, talking about the dynamics of the car that aren't relevant on a track or actually pushing it harder... We want to "see" the dynamics in action!

Great review. Subscribed.
I want to buy the exact same car and I am from Europe , I am searching for the color but I cant find it
The type of content wheels should of been producing years ago, fantastic stuff
Doing 111kmhr at 5:16....So dangerous and reckless I'm sure the Victorian constabulary will be paying you a visit soon Alex. In all seriousness awesome video - great cinematography and good presenting. An enjoyable Aussie car review who would have thought. Having been lucky enough to drive a 991.1 gt3 - what a machine. Can't really use over 5000rpm here or it's straight to jail Oh and keep fighting for us Petrol heads who actually enjoy a nice drive on appropriate roads without fear of immediate loss of licence (having not lost a point on my full licence at 30 yo)
I can only agree with the other positive comments. A rare good Australian Review, which actually describes what the car feels like.
how much diff between standard GT3 and GT3 RS
What's the name of the song used here? thanks!
*_GELBGRUN color is outta this world fire_*
Beautiful car.
Yes.
Great review Alex, feel like I’m there with You, my dream car

tolles video, grüße aus dem porsche heimatland :)
wow was that a rock anthem or a symphony....? wow what a car; what a sound
Honestly, if you'r going to get a PDK on the GT3, just buy an RS... When you have the money to buy such car, in general you can also buy an RS instead. By taking a PDK on this one, you'r losing the main interest of it :/ I prefer the GT3 to the RS by far, better looking (more street car looking, rather than track), and obviously the manual gearbox, which has become such a special thing to have on sports cars nowadays (unfortunately :'( ). Also, i prefer its sound to the RS. Awesome video though, probably the best review of it :)
Beautiful roads!

Just one question, Is it a good daily driver?
@westpalmdoc
6 жыл бұрын
let me answer that for you! i have had a 991.2 GT3 manual transmission car in my garage for a month and its a fantastic daily driver. cant comment on the bucket seats, i have the 18 way comfort seats, and its an extremely comfortable ride. i had a 991 Carrera S with i think 8 way adjustable seats and it was brutally uncomfortable for me- back pain galore. i drive mine to work. my wife also drives it to work. we both love it. it is a visceral raw driving experience, love all the road noise he complains about- i can literally run over sand and hear it plinking around in wheel wells like an automotive concert. also, it is the best manual transmission i have ever driven- fabulous copper bushings make for a great smooth metal grind on shifts. it IS fast as lightening- 0-60 is 3.5 in the manual per tests (ignore Porsche’s advertised always conservative #s). so speeding is about the only daily driver caution. but driving to work is an event i adore so yes, a fabulous daily driver. i am taking it to Sebring raceway next month to flex its legs.

This video is great. Wish I could have given it 2 likes...
‘147k road but to get there is hard. Clogged bad roads, over policed, in Victoria’. It’s pathetic really living in the over policed state, Victoria Australia. Where home invasions, bashing, home robberies, damaged and stolen cars are just a daily occurrence, if you do 5k’s over the speed limit, they throw the book at you. And clogged badly synchronised arterial roads make getting about in Melbourne a nightmare. Your report on the best sports car the world makes, Porsche 911 GT3 made up for my frustration living in the nanny state.

You are so right - Driving to Geelong once we were 4ks over the speed limit, and received a 200 dollar fine and a screaming from the officer, insane!

Of course - that's because dealing with robberies, bashing's and home invasions doesn't help the government make money to cover their poor budget choices. See police fines actually go to the city, not the police offers, however if you google any of this you'll find there are MANY examples of police officers being put under pressure to make their numbers. Latest State Government data shows South Australians were handed 244,360 expiation between 1 July 2016 and 11 January 2017 - earning the Government more than $75 million in just over six months. That’s equal to more than $380,000 every day, or $16,000 every hour, or $267 every minute… or $4.45 every second. The number of fines recorded by SA Police rose by 58 per cent in the four years from 2011-12 to 2015-16. That’s more than 10 times the growth rate of South Australia’s population (five per cent) over the same period. Now, try and argue that this isn't a money making scam from a government who doesn't know how to efficiently use our tax dollars without additional handouts...
Terrific review. Why ALL 911's can't sound this way and be naturally aspirated I will never understand. The emissions regulators must have given Porsche a "big incentive" to only produce ONE NA 911. I mean if they can put out the GT3 (later the RS version...sure to come). They MUST be able to make a lesser NA 911 or make all 911's NA from a technical point of view. Politics. As great as the GT3 is. Checking more boxes than almost all sports cars for the road...it is in the end a REAR-engined car. Behind the rear axle biased car. Vs an Audi R8...or Porsche's Cayman's that are MID-engined biased. Love to see a NA Cayman. :)
My god, just listen to it!
Thank the maker for KZread. Imagine if this was a car ad on Aussie TV, would be banned faster than this car does 0-100.

MUCH nicer than the Porsche 911 Carrera I once owned.
When others try to pump fake engine sounds through the speakers, this is the car they are trying to imitate.
911 GT3 should be a manual!
the laferrari does 9200.....
I highly doubt that he parks this outside
Great review this car is stunning ..."Yeshua / Jesus is the way "
