Collecting A New Porsche 911 GT3 [992]!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
It feels like I've been waiting for this day for a long time!
With huge thanks to Porsche UK, I collect the keys to a new 992 generation 911 GT3 for the week. I've been desperate to try out this car ever since it launched and plan to take it to Wales to really see what it's all about.
For this first day though, I head to Tom Hartley Cars to help Paul Wallace from @supercarsoflondon film a review of the insane McLaren Speedtail, a £2million hypercar.
About the new GT3 (from Porsche):
A naturally aspirated 4.0-liter, six-cylinder boxer engine that revs to 9,000 rpm is at the heart of the new model. Generating up to 502 hp and 346 lb-ft of torque, the engine offers extremely sharp throttle response thanks in large part to its six independent throttle bodies. This engine is virtually identical to the unit found in the new, track-only 911 GT3 Cup race car. The seven-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission - engineered and tuned specifically for the 911 GT3 - is included as standard equipment, while a six-speed manual transmission is also available to order for customers who prefer a particularly engaging driving experience. This engine, which was first introduced in the limited-production 2019 911 Speedster, has been further optimized for use in the new 911 GT3 with new pistons. A dry-sump lubrication system ensures a sufficient oil supply even at very high lateral and longitudinal loads by using a total of seven suction stages that quickly return oil to the external tank. Acceleration from 0 to 60 mph with the standard seven-speed PDK takes only 3.2 seconds and top track speed is 197 mph.
The free-revving engine is only a one part of what makes the latest GT3 such a standout. Based on the 911 Carrera body, front track width increases by 1.9 inches. Despite the change in size, the new model weighs almost virtually the same as its predecessor. This is possible thanks in part to a more extensive application of lightweight materials in the body than ever before in a 911 GT3. The hood, rear wing, and fixed rear spoiler underneath the wing are all made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). Lightweight, noise insulated glass on all of the windows also aids in accomplishing the ambitious weight target.
Narrowing the gap between race and road cars even further, the double wishbone front axle of the new GT3 is derived from the 911 RSR and 911 GT3 Cup cars and adapted for road use, marking a major milestone in the history of the 911. The new front axle offers even more direct and precise steering than the predecessor. Cornering stability improves, allowing for higher cornering speeds and better mid-corner control over uneven pavement. As with past models, the rear axle uses a multilink design, but for this generation an even greater number of ball joints in both the front and rear are used, further enhancing the capability of the GT3 chassis. In fact, the new GT3 suspension does not share any parts with the current 911 Carrera models.

The unscripted "banter" of the three of you is what we need more of. Unfiltered, just go for it Sam et. al. Beautiful car, and nicely done lad.

The camera position on the swan tail was absolutely brilliant for the exhaust sound, watching the gear changing and road vision. Masterfully done! Nice gear changing too by the way.

Keep hold of it mate, it’s probably the best value super sports car ever! Definitely my favourite Porsche!
Just wanting to say, recently over the last few months in particular I can’t help but feel Sam’s content is top of the leaderboard at the moment in terms of car KZreadrs. It’s so engaging, honest and passionate - really enjoying it, especially when you’re losing your mind in Porsche 😂 loving it 💙
That sound alone gives me the fizz. For those who haven't sub to this magnificent channel and need a reason, this is your reason. Absolute undiluted joy. Keep up the cracking content, Sam.
You know how good a car is when they are flipping for twice the money !!!

Its lap time speaks for itself. Its the same power and basically the same mass as the 991 and yet still spanks the shit outta the 991 thanks to the better aero and massive suspension enhancements! 992 is amazing. One of the only cars to drop in the last 5 years thats a masterpiece for drivers!

Agreed! Ha. Very special stuff
Great quality video. Yes Drive the world mentioned 👏 , I thought I watched all you videos on DTW content and after reviewing the play list this is not the case. You need to plug this more, a truly great series to catch up on whilst waiting on the latest greatest releases. Thanks for all your hard work, really appreciate it.
"It'll be funnier in the storm" is why I like Paul :D
This video has a bit of everything, checking around a wonderful dealership, enjoyable car chat with Paul & Karl, and Omg that GT3…! Great content! Look forward to your next one!
Fantastic video Sam. The GoPro mounted to the wing was a particular favourite scene of mine. I could have watched and listened to that engine for hours. Beautifully shot, edited and told as always. Really fantastic stuff, well done sir!
12:35 The horse was like: At least our replacement in which humans ride is outstanding... !!
Forget the looks, forget the track times, if I had the money, I would buy it just for that sound. The best sounding car after the post-opf era? Probably. Edit: The speedtail is such a spaceship!
Great video. Also love your live chats with audience 👏
It’s about time ! Been waiting for this 👍🏻
Another well put together video and perfect content! Smashing it!
O the sound ❤ Sam your smile makes ppl stick around to watch your KZread videos. Thank you for my happy Porsche moments.
Huge thanks for not adding music @ 11:29 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Awesome vid!
Amazing amazing video man, loved the camera angle on the wing and seeing the manual shifter in action!!
11:35 what a view and sound!👌🏻
I'm thinking I desperately need to check out Tom Hartley again, the showroom and the calibre of cars on offer is outrageous!
Great review Sam....the sound from the wing was epic!
Jeez you really do be getting them shots. That wing shot were we can hear that beautifull straight 6 and can see you rowing gears is gold
Epic Sam !! Sounds amazing !
Great video with some superb filming. Goes without saying, great car and fabulous colour. Top notch content as usual. Love the hotel👍
Big congrats STG. Stunning color.
The shot from 11:30 is amazing, one of the best I have seen, some proper Rendezvous vibes!
So happy for you! And what a beautiful 911 to drive for six days! enjoy. 💙
Got to love your enthusiasm Sam…absolutely infectious!👍🏻
I haven't watched any GT3 content as I've been waiting for your video. The noise is just something else!
I'd love to visit the Hartley grounds, just been bought Tom's book. Their set up, history and inventory blow my mind.
The sound of that Porsche is so nice. They really have nailed it with this one . New house might have to wait till I’ve got one of these I reckon!
Gotta say, Porsche nailed the factory fitment. The wheels look flush with the body
so happy for you dude, came such a long way!
The GT3 is the perfect one car garage if you have no kids. Great daily, amazing fun, best drivers car and it looks and sounds phenomenal.
What a car and what a video, editing, sound and music all perfect, above everyone else. Great taste mate.
Absolutely beautiful, that colour and spec 👏.
Great video mate!
OMG the SOUND of that thing. OMG!!!!!
Man I am jealous… I have been wanting to drive this car in a while… since the previous gen. Glad you had the opportunity
Superb video!
Video so sick I had to comment twice! Great job man, loved the camera on the wing ♥ 💯
Loving this kind of content✊🏼
I was enjoying this video already, and then you cut to the spoiler view minute or so of pure sound = Instant like smash 🤤👌🏻
definitely thumbs up !!
Awesome sound, quite fun if you hand back the car with 'most miles per KZreadr', setting records left and right. And it's marvellous you are in this get-up & go mode✌
Great video! It’s very interesting to see a a casual British perspective opposed to an American one. Everything between the three of you was spot on and entertaining! What is up with the scenery while driving the GT3?! So much green and serenity. Looks like a movie set. What a place to drive. Amazing…
It sounds fantastic!
Been loving the recent videos Sam!
Nice GT3 and Nice Sound！
Damn 6 days with the GT3? Love it man and enjoy. I'll be on the lookout for the highest mileage 992 GT3 next week to purchase. haha
What a machine Sam. Love the spec. It's even the same colour as my first car, a mk2 Escort! 😁 Would only be asking myself, manual or pdk?
Dear Sam, You deserve a 992 GT3 for all your hard work on the channel. Get one! :D
Great stuff.
The spoiler footage was just epic!
Great video with Paul and Carl. Looking forward to stopping in at Carl’s Hartley next time I am in UK. I live in San Diego and if you are going to be in Monterey this week during Car week I will kindly walk up to you and introduce myself. As a point for conversation I am the one that sold my 1999 355 to Scott or “Ratarossa” on KZread. I went for about 3 years after the sale and realized that I couldn’t live without having one in my possession so, I purchased another one but at a much higher cost. The prices are now insane for a 355. Also like you I am also a Porsche enthusiast. I have owned Porsches from the day I was old enough to drive. Mostly I drive the older models 68 911T, 77 911S and 81 911SC. New is good, but I prefer older models. There have been others along the way but those are my favorites. Anyway, keep up the good work and one day our paths may cross. Take care
Sam awsome video. Gt3 with a UK road trip in travel blog all in one
The camera angle from the wing was top notch. Love that experience as a viewer.
Been waiting for this video since the podcast!!
Lol at that Transit coming right at us around 12.15
New Porsche GT3 and seen through glass. A perfect combination. And yes, more cars from the Hartley Estate always welcome
Well done Sam, great content
That shark blue is stunning!!
Love the soundtrack. Sounds like the racing scenes in Le Mans with McQueen
Love you road trips 👍, Porsche make the most awesome sports cars😎
LONG TIME SUBSCRIBER JUST WANTED TO SAY LOVE THE CONTENT

Porsche content makes me so happy
11:30 - the camera angle and the sound doesn’t get any better. Nice one 🎯
Some great driving roads in Scotland as well as the north coast 500 great roads stunning scenery
I ordered a 2022 911 in the same color. The GT3 rocks, obviously. I had a turbo 911 once, got a ticket moments after driving it off the lot and could never drive it anywhere near its capacity except once on a track. That's why I can't justify buying the GT3.
That shot on the rear wing towards the end! Wowzers
Sam! Go to Elan Valley! There are some stunning roads up there especially on the way to devil's Bridge!😎😀
While the vid content is generally exemplary, I find the choice of soundtrack creates audible ambience par excellence.
Keep up the good work Sam, you deserve 1m subs.
What a super car Sam and incredible sound. Whooooo!!!!!. When are you going to buy one for your garage. I think you really should. It would be incredible on your channel. And you love porsches. From Dan. M😎😎😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations! Hello from Miami, Florida
Great video as always. Would love to see more if the hotel also. 🤞
What a car!!!!
Love the wing shot with exhaust noise. No sound of wind? How did tou do dat?
What??? A STG video without a coffee run?.. lol I'm just messing with you. Great video! I love my 991.2 GT3 and can't wait to drive the new 992 version to see how they compare.
Paul is so great when he is around Sam haha
Lovely images between the shots! Do you share those somewhere as well?
Great video
Lucky boy getting one for a whole week!
Being a massive Prodigy fan I was geeking out at the Master H’s Porsche 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🐜 🐜 🐜
supercool !
Love the speed tail.🤟🏻
Congratulations to Paul for not crashing!!!
Sounds absolutely amazing even with opf
That's mad that that RS was owned by Liam. Very very out there car to match the guy and his music - big up to the prodigy 🙏
6:59 almost like RWB or a Singer , very nice car 😍
Epic car! I fully expect you to be making a visit to Magnitude Finance at the end of the week to crunch the numbers! 😂
