Chris Harris Drives... Sportscars: V12 Vantage S, AMG GT R, Porsche 911 GT3RS | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Harris is back with another compilation and this time he's driving some of the best sports cars from the past few years.
OK, so we've stretched the definition of sports car a little, from the 718 Boxster S - with it's questionable cylinder count - to an Aston Martin with more cylinders than a Pringles factory, there's a wide-range of road and track-based goodies going sideways, all with driver involvement front of mind.

Do true sportscars need a manual 'box, or do some people just need to be told "GET WITH THE TIMES, GRANDAD"?

This video is the sole reason that BBC needs to justify giving Top Gear to Chris Harris and let him do his thing. Sure the trio formula was great when Clarkson, Hammond, and May were doing Top Gear but that's something that they did and worked at the time. Move on BBC, Chris Harris is brilliant and every motorhead would gladly sit through an hour of such a show.

Since Chris Harris has joined Top Gear there are less Supercars in show because of his selfish attittude and unfair reviewing. Criticizing some of the best supercars in the world in his selfish way and giving the positive and false review in the same time of one of the most unreliable supercar is not the way to be a presenter of this show.

Chris Harris on Cars is like gentleman's content. Zero effects and lousy noises, thank you CH and Neil for the effort!
Best job on earth. Love every minute of these videos with this guy and the cars we all want to see. Best descriptions of driving and cars on the Tube.
Chris changing gears mid-drift in the GT3RS, so cool! Thank you BBC TopGear for putting this montage together with Chris. Chris is a star motoring journalist. I would love to see Chris and Tiff Needell have a dog fight on the track. It would be quite a watch! Keep up the good work Top Gear team.
i dont even remember when i watched the whole video...great job Mr.Harris and thank you...this was very enjoyable...and that gt3rs
Watching Top gears almost from 13yrs Well car u guys had drive!! Love u all 💓
'Chris Harris Drives' uploads are excellent daytime viewing. My lockdown TV.
Best reviewer with such amazing video work... what an enjoyable experience to watch. For a moment I felt like I was right there driving it with him. Thanks for these videos, lets all go out and enjoy some gas-burning, fun, revy, manual transmission cars before they're mere memory.

Great video! Thanks Chris!
RIP Hans Menzger... master of Porsche sixes
7secs in , I just love when this brother drives n illustrates.. he's tough at it
2014 - Hammond in the Bowler WildCat; "I am a driving God!" - ludicrous 2020 - Harris in that trick Vantage; "All is well with the world" - equally ludicrous
I could spend my entire day watching this stuff
27:13 was Chris looking for a gear shift? ahahah BTW Chris, what a job. Great man, total respect. Thanks for these videos.
I remember driving this 4-cyl 718 and coming out with a completely new-found love for my Bmw Z4M Coupe - which I still have
Love amg gt r and gt3 rs 😍 great video
Wow! Keep them coming!
Blending that hammering v12 noise in just so. Nicccce.
Love Porsche they are the pinnacle of sports car driving experience. So good That AMG GTR is amazing I want one. Looks great as well
Interior is just love😍😍
I lust after that Aston Martin! What a beautiful looking and sounding aspirational car. Maybe someday. Looked like a hoot on the track with all the powersliding! What a car!
Last time I was this early, there wasn't one guy trashing Chris Harris in every video he's in.

I love the Aston color schemes!
The 4 cylinder motor in the boxster is a beast. Everyone hates on it, but it's either 300hp, 350hp or 365hp. It's a fast motor. I have a manual gts cayman and absolutely love it.
I’ve driven the V12 vantage S and can agree the torquey powertrain makes it a lovely car to drive.

14:08 Perfectly matches

Brilliant!
Idk if i like the cars or editing. Great video, what a way to introduce the M4, sideways. 911r is the king till i afford the Gt3rs
The best 👍👍👍
That glare on the in-car camera though 👌🏻
Wonder if Jezza watches TG! 💪🏻👊🏻😎
The way those Porsches carry speed in the corners it's like shooting out of a cannon on exits.

I hate the M4... It’s the Golf GTI for Swiss people. The only people in Switzerland who own an M4 are annoying 26 year olds who’ve taken out a loan at the bank for their toy, and drive around making farting noises through city centers all day. What’s wrong with enjoying your car by yourself? Why do you have to involuntarily involve others in that? It’s a dick move.

I must say, good review Harris. I mean this feels like he is talking from the point of what he is experiencing through out the review. Yes, I know this thing is scripted but the making is so good it does not feel like one. The 32:51 minutes is absolutely worthy.
