Porsche 911 Turbo S v 911 GT3: TRACK RACE



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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
