Porsche 911 Turbo S v 911 GT3: TRACK RACE
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Road trips don’t get much better than this!
Mat and Racing Driver Sam are teaming up for an epic Porsche adventure. They’ve got their hands on a 911 Turbo S & GT3, and they’re setting off from the UK to the world-famous Spa-Francorchamps racing circuit!
For starters, they’ll be hitting the channel tunnel before finding out what these unique supercars are like to drive on the motorway on their way to the track. But it’s once they arrive that the fun really begins!
The question is, which car will prove the fastest on track? We all know the GT3 is built for moments like this, with its 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six producing 510hp and 470Nm. However, one thing to consider is Spa has some seriously long straights! So with that in mind, will the Turbo S and its 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six with 650hp and 800Nm prove the faster car on the day?
There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat and Sam for this incredible road trip adventure!

Totally agree, i personally have seen enough drag races to last me a life time and had started watching Throttle House rather than Carwow. I have never drag raced a quarter mile in my life and have no intentions of doing so. Driving down the UK into Europe, love that, loved this vid.
I particularly enjoyed this extended video (even the fuel consumption reality check!). Your pal Sam is engaging and knowledgeable. He sure called it correctly regarding how Spa-Francorchamps would benefit the [no spoilers!]. Lord help me, I still covet a GT3. But I also value my wife enjoying the ride, too. Time to adjust my dream car fantasy ... ? Happy holidays!

This was one of your best videos, IMO. Its the age old question, GT3 vs Turbo, and you took it head on and did it the right way. Well done!
I am driving an old 996.2 GT3 and I totally agree. When I am driving on our Swiss Autobahn with 120 kmh, the sound gets annoying after 30 min. but when you are on the German Autobahn and the revs are changing constantly, it is ok. And driving it on mountain roads is a dream, especially because it is so small compared with the newer ones.

Love all of the CarWow content, but this is among my favorite videos from Matt and the CarWow crew. Please, more like this! Thank you for all of it though!

21:10 I love how Mat, after mentioning the one-time U-turn, continues talking about snails by saying "Anyway, back to the snails, ..." as if that's the actual content and what matters in this video. 😁
Was waiting for Sams laps the whole time and his comments during driving them hard…

This video deserves some kind of award. It answers the question we've all been asking, and in the most concise and fun way.

Please share Sams laps with Matts reactions if possible. I currently have a 992 C2S and this persuaded me to upgrade to a Turbo S one day instead of going down the GT3 Touring path...

I may be considered an old man now that I'm 23 y.o. But for some reason I really value comfort and road usability in my sports cars, but I think this is the key 🧐 If it's your only car take the Turbo S, if you already have a comfortable daily then it's 9,000 RPM time 🌚❤️🔥

I´m also 23 and got myself a Mazda MX-5 ND sport trim with the bilstein suspension and I must say that it is really comfortable and as someone that comes from a family diesel BOAT potatocar, the body roll is negligible(dont know why they say it is "soft" when it isnt). I drive every weekend a 2h trip to frankfurt to my parents and if you only have 1 car as me, it HAS TO BE comfortable enough, I wouldnt get any siff coilovers for my daily.
More of this Sam and Mat 👍👍
