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!

Which will be quickest around Spa Circuit – the 911 Turbo or GT3? VOTE BELOW!
I don’t think I could live in England, seems like it’s always raining or wet with grey depressing sky’s. MyGT4 has never seen rain, in England I guess I would never drive it.
On the Turbo S: "I definitely feel I'm sat inside a vagina" 🙂 Thanks Mat for the quote, we love you 😛
Sam was such a pleasant and informative addition to this review with his racing background. Please have him on more often for these more track-minded cars. Of course not taking anything away from Matt’s impeccable journalism.
Great Video, please more of something like that
Such a great video comparing these cars!
you solved my dilemma, turbo s it will be. perfect analysis
1:30 The "wider" bay is also all ground level. So no driving up top. They do this for all cars with bad ground clearance, as they couldn't drive up the ramp otherwise.
So it isn't a question if they would let you in the wider part, they probably wouldn't allow you in the regular part.
4:42 67L, you'd have to look at very big cars to have bigger tanks than that :D.
Turbo S for me please, any day, any time.
A raw light thing with a (comparatively) slow natural aspirated engine it's not my cup of tea. Natural aspirated engines only provide proper hard core acceleration screaming at high revs – which is not everyday use of a car for anyone.
Honorable exception: Ferrari V12. I wouldn't mind having that n/a ICE.
Turbo engines provide more power, it's expected they need more fuel, at least when driven hard.
10:16 hwhaatt?
the turbo sis not a track car
There's Porsche, and then there's everything else.
Need to recreate this with Matt’ s GT3 RS vs the Turbo S
On my panamera 971 you can put it neutral and it let’s you rev all they way, but not in park….
TURBO S ALL DAY LONG
Turbo S is quicker until you have a small track without straights…
Matts and Sam best collaboration. I love you guys from South Africa 🇿🇦

where tf are Sam's laps?
Turbo S for the road all day.
Alweer een leuke video!
Thank you, really enjoyed that!
I think turbo s is the best car overall because it’s serves 2 purposes, you are buying one car servs both race and street
