We know the Porsche 992 GT3 Clubsport is great on track but what's it like to live with on our pot-holed UK roads? I spend a week in the latest 911 GT3 to find out.

Harry posting incredible content and feedback for years, on amazing cars . This man has an incredible knowledge and is very honest in his reviews and has only half a million followers.

You can tell the difference between a car influencer and someone who just loves real world use from their cars. Harry, I agree entirely although I'd be interested in your opinion on the touring minus roll cage and wing. Less downforce and rigidity has got to be some improvement. Jams May was also right, the Nurburgring makes good track cars, but poor road cars

Not entirely true, Nurburging is harshest track for cars, so a car capable in Nurburging will have decent road usability....... GT3 is still a (racing) car for the road experience, if you want the 50/50 it's the GTS model, here where Harry got it wrong, Porsche made GTS more towards track driving this generation which gave it that 50/50 sort of usability, GT3 is sort of 70/30 while GT3RS will be sort of 80/20...... So Porsche did provide all kind of cars for every customer

Great review as always, this is the first road biased review that’s been done i feel. Which does point to the new cars downfalls, i’m sure a good set of dampers and adjustment could do the trick, but it’s not what you want from a brand new car. To be honest, i was more interested in the 997 gt3, i hope there’s a video of that coming soon :)

The whole 'invited to buy if you have already bought Porsches thing is absolutely why I disagree with Porsche following the wanky Ferrari customer mantra. Awful behaviour. The £100k instant premium proves that invite only decision doesn't work, and only fuels the 911 tax. Whatever happened to being the first come, first served? I don't want a car company to choose me to buy their car, I am the customer and I am always 'right'.

Love this man's clear headed assessment. As someone who own's 2 Porsches, the Gt-3 is way too stiff and noisy for the average driver. Maybe it's great for the track, but it's really annoying on the road. And we have really good roads in Colorado. But even on good roads, you can't hear your self think, let alone answer a phone call.

Thank you for this provably accurate and brutally honest review of the 992 GT3. Your exposure of the 992 GT3 ridiculously low ground clearance due to the frames around the newly designed air flow vents successfully REDUCES the ground clearance by more than 1 inch from the already extremely low 991.2 GT3 RS. With only a 3" ground clearance, this low ground clearance seriously gives me second thoughts about owning a 992 GT3. The 3" ground clearance is absolutely un-drivable in any US city. That restaurant driveway would have been unnavigable even if the car had the front lift system! The hydrolic lift system only adds another 1" to the ground clearance. Prospective GT3 and GT3 RS owners should see this as a huge deal breaker. The other setbacks including the steering wheel movements and the noise, to me those are part of the experience of driving a more track focused model and I would enjoy that as part of the intense, visceral experience. But the 3" ground clearance issue is a huge deal breaker unless the front lift system adds at least 2" instead of 1". What are your thoughts on this?

As a person who has owned many cars ranging from r8s', 720s', 992 Turbo S', etc. All I can say is take a driveway near perpendicular and you will be fine. I currently have a GT3 on order with a March build date, and while I will say the 3 inch clearance is low, the FAL gives another 40mm of clearance; putting the car at the same front height as something like a new c63 or m4. Moreover, knowing a few people who got their hands on 992 GT3's already - none have posed it as an issue as long as your cautious entering roads

Not that its a decision im lucky enough to make but the more i read and watch about the current lineup i really see the GTS in either AWD or RWD depending on the climate you live in as the all-rounder king of the lineup. Especially with a manual, an AWD GTS really gives you a unique proposition as a sort of "manual" 992 Turbo/S with probably 98% of the real world performance.

The suspension is harsh in both tge sport and track settings (on the road), but you can reconfigure “Sport” mode with “Normal” suspension. This delivers the best road setting I find. You then have the Sport engine map, Sport PDK mode and softest suspension. Set up like this, the car is a joy to drive down my local B roads.

Great video again Harry. It is sad as the GT3 was always a road car that you could use on track and the RS was a track car you could use on the road. I have just finished reading EVO car of the year and they all felt the same about the Touring, which should be even more road biased, but I think it is the same set up. They did well not to chase ever higher power, but probably felt that the only way to ‘improve’ on the 991.2 was for a faster lap time. It’s a shame as GT3 have always been fantastic and very usable road cars

I owned a 996 GT3 and frankly it was less comfortable on the road than a 992 GT3. Neither the GT3 or GT3 RS have ever been satisfying daily drivers, except for very few hardcore owners. The RS always has more flash but almost never much faster on track. Like a fine instrument, any GT3 or RS will take a lifetime to master. And that's the point.

Like many I can only dream of getting my hands on a 992 GT3 but I grasp the thrill of the engine as I own a 991.1 GTS. The sound you experience as the engine revs rise is intoxicating. Keep up the fabulous work, all the best for 2022.

Terrific review Harry , you are now the expert that remains independent and honest about car reviews after decades of comparisons to relate to. So refreshing compared to so many other so called ‘internet influencers’ who I personally don’t find any where near as knowledgable. Keep it up for all us true petrol heads 👍🏻

Great review. Rather have a Turbo S nowadays, which you can actually rake up the miles on. Besides, if you have to pay markup, a loaded Turbo S is actually cheaper than a base spec GT3! Arguably more of the same car for less money.

At last a real world view of the 992 GT3. Too track focused and harsh, I'm with you Harry the 911 Turbo S is the go to machine. This new GT 3 will only appear on track days and other times will sit in a collection. Thanks for a down to earth test and not one blinkered by boyish enthusiasm.

Great review as usual. I owned a 981 GT4 for about 3 1/2 years. Loved it, but sold it in April, wanted to have a less track orientated car. Have a 992 on order. Missing the GT4, but looking forward to a more comfortable road orientated Porsche sports car.

Although the GTS is a wonderful car, I’ve never owned a 911 and it’s intended use is for touring etc. I do miss the GT4, sounds amazing, light weight carbon seats etc. Only 8000 miles when I sold it - it had 1800 miles when I bought it.

They nailed the 991.2 GT3. Both in performance and aesthetics. The 992 could be tamed with different dampers and springs. A proper "street" alignment would also do wonders. It's never going to be as pretty though.

Great real world review, something most of the car magazines completely miss as they test them on perfect circuits or roads around the Black Forest. I am sticking with my 991.2 gt3, think it’s the perfect compromise between fast road and a great circuit car, but not compromised on either. I guess whilst Porsche focus in lap times for each gt3 product the time was also ways going to come where it became too focused as a road car, and the 992 generation seems to be it.

Since I own a 991/2 Gen GT3 and having now driven the 992 GT3 there is no way I'd swap mine to get into the 992. This is the first GT3 I'd have to have transported to the circuit for track days if the journey was any more than 20 miles. It's not only the harsh suspension but the steering is too frenetic for me and the best bit which is arguably the engine is in all important aspects exactly the same in both cars. All this said a friend of mine swears by the 992 version but then he is a racing driver!

Great video. By no means comparable - but I owned a fully race-spec Miata that I used daily for a bit of time, and I completely understand how difficult it can be to live with something like that. Crazy camber, overly stiff suspension, etc. I loved it on the weekends but just going around town it was such a chore I ended up selling it. The GT3 would be such an amazing weekend car!
