Welcome to the 888MF YouTube channel. In this video I drive the 2017 Porsche 991 GT3 or the 991.2 GT3. This Miami Blue car only had 204 miles on the clock when I took it out! I also compare it to my McLaren 650S coupe, which also has a dual clutch gearbox and two seats! Feel free to read the thoughts below before or after you watch the video:

The 991.2 GT3 is a fantastic car and the PDK gearbox allows you to use it much more often than previous 'manual only' models. The latest version also has a welcomed increase in power to 493bhp. The PDK Sport option makes the downshifts sound incredible. However I did find that the steering wasn't as direct as a Cayman GT4. The only downside to the GT4 is the fact that it is only offered with a manual box for now. However if you can accept that, then it is a bargain in the world of supercars with second hand examples changing hands at just over £80k in the UK.

The McLaren 650S on the other hand is a genuine supercar and the extra power is very noticeable. In addition the mid-engined layout and dihedral doors really make it feel like it is on a different level to the GT3. Given that it was around £220k when new this shouldn't come as a total surprise. If you have £160k to spend on a car then I think it is a relative bargain.

Conclusion: The GT3 is an amazing car if you want something you can use daily and also take to a race track. The naturally aspirated engine sounds wonderful and the build quality is 10/10 as with most Porsche models. However I would still categorise it as a sports car, but a very good one at that!!

I hope you enjoy watching these cars in action and please subscribe for more content in the future.
