  • Porsche 911 GT3 The Best Car In The World Porsche Dommates Eveything 

  • BMW Power!!!

  • I would get the R8... Sell it and get the M3.

    :D

  • GT3 is the only one that comes exclusively with a manual transmission. The M3 is a great car, but too many posers drive them and most people who drive beemers are rich snobs who don't know anything about cars. The Audi R8 is a beautiful car but it's too expensive and is not as driver focused as the GT3.

  • true

    but i bet ud like to own one of them

  • what i find funny is that porsche use a 3.7L straight six and the gt3 can preform as well as the r8 or m3 easily.

  • Thats easy to explain, porshe is a sport car and m3 is a couple, heavy and not so dynamic as porshe, so porshe dont need the same engine to do the same aceleration and keep the same speed

  • BOXER six.

  • its a 3.6 boxer and it doesnt perform as well.its faster

  • I'm not saying that I hate the Beemer and the Porsche in fact, I like BMWs such as the M3 and my favorite, the new z4 and Porsche with the Cayenne and boxter. I'm just saying the truth that r8's are criticized for being posh and the GT3 and M3 overstated.

    I'm just comparing the three not by track standards but real life standards aswell.

  • I'd get the facts straight:

    Audi: It's just an expensive suit. But dont forget that it's one of the easiest to drive and the more exclusive one so the money you pay for is worth it.

    Porsche: good car to drive. Lots of power and performs great.... But a bit common. It has lost it's magic that a Porsche should have.

    BMW M3: Ok, a good car. Fast, Practical and fun to drive. But most drivers are people with bluetooth headset, rolex watch and starbucks coffee. So whose the show off now?

  • we all watch top gear so copying what jeremy clarkson is saying what give you any credits..

    audio easiest to drive? have you driven one?

    porsche lost its magic? maybe if you owned 4 or 5 then it would have. for common people it hasnt..

    m3? best all around sports car with the gtr. and you copied your comments from clarkson..

  • Comment removed

  • Now, The Porsche is a bit Overstated which makes it loose it's sparkle. That I agree. I may not have owned any porsche but hearing from people saying that the Porsche is the best and will never be beaten makes me sick of it. It's like listening to a guy talking about how great he is every single day or eating the most delicious food everyday.

    The best may be the best but the best isn't always the best choice.

  • real life standards. m3 seems to be better than the other two.

    anw you should state your own mind and not someone elses opinion especially if that someone is as famous as him..

  • I guess what I said was quite offensive. First of all, I wouldn't wan't to judge somebody's opinion just because it's the same as Clarksons. Not that I'm talking like an idiot but I might have the same thoughts as Clarkson since I agree with him in MOST of his opinions.

    Second, Judging others Opinions shows that you are an Ignorant. You can never Judge someone's opinion and make him agree with you because It's his/her's opinion not yours. Ok.

  • im not judjing your opinion i just said that you should state your own.. your comment for the m3 was everything clarkson always said about m3 owners (consider them as cocks!!) (even made fun dressing as one in the m3 vs c63 vs rs4 video). (changed his mind when the new audi's ame out though)..anw..

    as for the cars, as a bmw owner and fan i would love to have an m3 if i could afford it, maybe in the future who knows.

  • Well I can't describe them with another term and if I did, anyone wouldn't really understand what I meant. Yeah, I use a lot of clarkson's comments because I just like to but I'm using it as a mirror to what I have in mind which is my opinion. I could describe it normally but I don't want to because I like to show my opinion that way.

  • im not a fan of porsches, i wouldnt buy one if i had the money, i think their design is more or less the same as if they designed the best car 40 years ago and they dont change it!! BUT if someone gave me one i'd cry from joy..

    and the r8, as a bmw's man, FUCK audi...

    its beautiful what can i say, but overpriced.

    M3 RULES

  • Not a Porsche fan aswell but I fancy the GT3 and Boxster Spyder.

    If I buy an M3, I'd go for the 4 door version. If I wan't a sports car, I'd go for the Audi r8 (the V8 one) and if I can afford a more expensive sports car it would be the Gallardo LP560-4.

    But if I were to choose one sports car, I'd choose none of the three above nor an Aston Martin V8 Vantage because I'd simply go for the Jag XKR. I prefer a Grand Tourer than a Track champ.

  • Id have them in the same order as the end of the video.

  • GT3 pwns all of these, then comes the m3 and pussies buy the R8

  • The Power of ///M is unstoppable-Long live the best overall car in the world... The Bmw ///M3.

  • m3 ,the best of those

  • id take the gt3 first, followed by the m3, the r8s not a bad car but i fancy it the least of the 3

  • / / /M can drift the best

  • it's not fair to put the R8 in this group , its has a bigger price tag and a better car.

  • the M3 can whoop its ass tho :P

  • lol not even. more buck for the less bang

  • No its not...it's the worst in the group.

  • lobzdik has it right for sure. the r8 jus looks better and has a bigger price tag. as far as performance goes.

    1. GT3

    2.M3

    3.R8

    End of story

  • No it should be in this order: gt3, r8, and then m3. But if i could get my hands on a gt3-rs I wouldnt need anything else.

  • i think its this

    1. gt3

    2. m3

    3. r8

    the only thing r8 has going for it is cool looks, with 200cc more it only produces the same HP the M3. BMW has just done a better job with this engine than Audi has.

  • just cool looks? hows about a mid engined superbly balanced chassis that is dynamically capable of driving rings around the m3. four rings. the m3 is great for what it is. a done up three series, but this is the realm of exotics.

    btw, the R8 has more torque, and is a relatively old engine design. reports suggest that 450 horse will be the output for the final revisions of the Audi 4.2 V8 so there is still life in it yet.

  • I say this having owned or currently owning 2 of the 3 cars for one simple point and that is the R8 is an exotic by concept only and not in execution. M3 is near the pinnacle of it's class. Gt3 has only a couple of cars within it'd class, but are all within a hair in performance. The R8 cant even begin to enter it's class, that is why there is even a discussion over these cars.

  • typical german

    simply the best cars in the world

  • yeah,

    Porsche

    Audi

    Bmw

  • r u kidding?

    1. porsche

    2.audi

    3. bmw

  • 1. BMW M3

    2.AUDI R8

    3.GT3

  • never.

    1. audi (quattro rulez on the road!)

    2. porsche

    3. bwm

  • "AUDI r8 for dates"

    So you want your date to know your a cock....lol

  • I think the end of story is that Audi R8 5.2 fsi V10 is here:))

  • I'd take the R8 over the others, that's a no brianer, but if you want a hardcore track day car to have some fun the GT3 is the best, as for a all rounder the M3 is probably the best car in the world.

  • Deutsche Autos sind einfach nur geil!

    German cars are really nice!

  • the m3 is just a d*** with chairs

  • looks like someones trying to imitate Clarckson here Splashie777

  • The M3 IS only 1 second slower then the r8 around the ring in manual form meaning the double clutch would beat the R8 around the ring.

  • m3 is a very fast car round corners... if the clarkson wasn't talking rubbish it is even faster round tg track than mercedes black... which has more power and cost about twice as much...

  • yeah beemer owns mcdes imo

    merc tries a lil to hard

  • but i guess that it is a good car, i like the black very much. the sound and looks are astonishing.

  • u talking bout the clk right?

    i always thought mercs were more prestige and stuff, but when i look closely, at 19 yrs of age, beemer is way way waaay better for me )))

    not that im about to get am M3 or anything haha

  • yeah right. i would love to own m3 csl, which is bmw at it's best . m3 no matter which one is probably 1 of 4 cars which a petrolhead has to own in his life. other 3 would be porsche 911, ferrari (maybe f355 or 430) and an alfa romeo the one you prefer . nice cars these but reality is a bit harsh for me so i'm saving for an old mercedes coupe and it's not the cl. it's the 124 coupe. it's old, it's slow, but it has bulletproof reliability and it makes you feel good and i really adore it.

  • Mistam5 you r correct but look at all magazines, Audi R8 is like a top car for everyone. Top gear put him as a car of the year, auto car put him as a performance car of the year. Al American magazines are totally addicted to that car. It's sounds great, handles great and on the street is a pure sensation and atraction like no other cars. So if you ask most of the ppl wich car they would take M3 or R8 I think the answer is simple.

  • Comment removed

  • But look at the magazines again and you will find the m3 has been one of the top for over 20 years So mistam5 wins end of story!!!! and the r8 weighs less and has only two seats and is only 1 second faster then a manual M3 so it WILL loose against a DKG M3 and thats a gareentee.

  • Despite just being a sport coupe, the M3 is only a second slower around Nurburgring than Audi's flagship R8, which easily costs twice as much as the M3. However, the M3 tested was the manual M3, while the R8 tested was the Paddle-Shifted R-Tronic. The M3 DCT/DKG will easily shave a second off that 8:05 Nurburgring lap time to best the R8's 8:04.

    The reason these three cars were tested is because they are in the same power category, each producing approximately 420bhp.

  • Official nurburgring lap times mean nothing. R8 is capable of 7:4x lap time

  • my grandma is capable of running the thing in 7:3x

  • ya rly

  • M3 is not quicker than audi R8, you just can't compare these two cars becouse Audi R8 is a exotic supercar and BMW M3 is fast coupe..if we talk about look's M is just the same as other 3-coupes. Porsche 911 gt3 is a pure performance!

  • m3 is just as fast as r8 if not quicker in some cases

  • WTF they put an M3 in a test with 2 supercars??? M3 is a sport coupe as far as I recall...stupid show!

  • same thing i just said lol they could at least put the M6

  • I would get the R8, then GT3, then M3

  • yes, but the M3, is SOOO much more practical ..... also i have a small bias, as an 2008 M3 owner :D

  • Does anyone have a picture for iPhone wallpaper similar to that at 1:12 with the R8 LED lights illuminated?

  • a man only needs all three of these cars and a hummer or cayene turbo, a couple of hot wives and that's it.

    who would want more?

    maybe a 200ft yacht and 4 houses and more wives haha.

  • I would take all of that.... except the wives.

  • is M3 even an adequate competetor?

  • Yes. Clearly.

  • Why is it that American cars are so inferior in terms of technique, drivability and elegance when you compare them to Europeans? US cars remind me of the HULK: Big, ugly, and a small brain. No high tech, only brute force. Not impressed.... :-)

  • Without being combative, the U.S. Market doesn't really support making cars in similar build quality than Europe. We have the ability to build cars similar to Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche, but GM/Ford... really isn't interested in doing so. We have some smart people, but it's all about economics here. Sell more midpriced cars to increase profitability than a few high end cars with less return. Not really hard to fathom right? BTW, I drive a BMW :)

  • I love german sports cars Period.

  • AUDI R8 BY FAAAAARR

  • m3 for me anyday!!!

  • @vbhika I love the M3 but you'd take it over a GT3 or R8? Really....?

  • R8 for the track, GT3 for dates, and M3 daily driver.

  • I agree with your DD pick but R8 for the track? The GT3 has long history of being a track weapon, and the R8 looks a lot classier in my opinion. I'd have the GT3 for the track and the R8 for dates.

  • Nothing turns heads like the R8. The GT3, while a fantastic car, doesnt look any different from any other Porsche to the common man. The new M3 is nice too, but is less expensive and not quite in the league of the other two cars.

  • i'd take the m3 if i had to buy one. but if one was given, i'd take the r8.

  • who won? in my opinon there all my favorite!

  • GT3 for the track. R8 for the street. M3 for racing hondas and rich kids pos mercedes. R8 for cruising to the clubs, just look at that beauty.

  • audi vs bmw = audi / tdi power champion le mans

  • These are all cars in the 50-130k range so to even compare them to something that cost in the millions is just stuiped.

  • ill take the m3 for everyday drivin and the gt2 for special weekends. n ill give the r8 bak to audi

  • R8 back to audi, are u fucking stupid!

  • BMW ///POWER

  • il take the gt3 you guys can share the left overs

  • MMMM...THE 3 ARE VERY GOOD CAR

  • my bday is comin up soon, i wouldn't mind getting either of these three ^_^

  • give me an arctic white GT3 and I'll trade my soul for it

  • agreed, it looks so sick in white

  • Not a large fan of the R8 personally. For how agressive it looks and for how much it costs, the performance is lacking. The best all around tester in the group would be the M3 to me. More practical and just as fast as the R8. I do believe the GT3 wins in the looks and performance category though. Definitely not price.

  • agree with you 100%. i think this is all about choise, if you love some car nobody will stop you from buying one even the lack of performance...

  • did you read what you wrote? :R8 has a supercar look yet it's a bit slow in looks. doesnt make much sense

  • Yes, and the gallardo and the f430 will both run you about 200 grand while the BMW is just about as fast as the gallardo and starts at about 59 grand. Plus you can use it every day with a family. And I think it looks awesome.

    Best choice for the poor man imho.

  • i am a bmw man for life. But i love all german cars. These cars are all tight but the bmw seems to be the coolest not the best lookin but its got some story and history behind it.

  • What and the 911 hasn't got history??

    it probably has a bigger history then the m3.

  • it does. duh. i like 911s but i am just a bmw fan. I would be to scared to drive it tho because of all the horror stories and because of the price tag lol.

  • what horror stories?

  • some people cant handle the porches weight ratio. with all the weight in the back there is a certain way to drive it. there are countless stories of rich dudes who cant drive and lose controle.

  • You are dumb.

  • isnt that the gt2????

  • No, it is the GT3.  The GT2 has air vents on the sides like the 997 Turbo and a bigger rear-wing spoiler with built-in air vents as well.

  • have you seen the logo?!

  • R8 RULEZZ

  • i love porsche and bmw... and i'll probably end up with some sort of 3 series/m3 or 911 or both... but the R8 is what has my heart right now. it just can't grab my wallet, because of its lack of a rear seat. i wish, wish, wish it came in a 2+2 configuration. sigh...

  • If I was able to get a hold of the R8 I would buy it, GT3 just wont be able to handle daily driving in my city, so I'm def trading my E46 M3 for the E92 after the first year

  • m3, looks to regular, gt3, if your daily commute was a treack, r8, god

  • All cars are very fine, but the Porsche GT3 rulez in every case!!! : ))

  • GT3

  • All 3 are absolutly fantastic cars, but given the option, the E92 M3 has won me over, no matter how much faster any of the other cars may be.

  • Great video. Thanks for posting

  • The R8 is such a brilliant car, it looks worth a quarter million super car but really it very civilized and is 100 grand.

  • nice!

  • i hate this idea of considering europe as one country. it says the editor is european, where the hell is he from germany? uk? what?

  • NocturnalTurk,

    Our European Editor is from the U.S. originally. He now lives and works out of Milan. The "European Editor" tag is not supposed to describe him as "European." Instead, it describes his position at our magazine. He is our "European Correspondent," the guy in touch with European companies, and the guy going on most of the press trips that occur in the content that is Europe.

  • ooh now i see. sorry for the misunderstanding. great vid by the way, but we're expecting to see a kind of comparison for later on.

  • lol way to jump to conclusions

    and yeah, what happened to the "vs." part? lol

  • yeah, i was expecting a comparison due to "vs." but then i realized that these guys just make video shoot not comparisons.

  • yup, no worries. just yankin' yer chain

  • R8 is awesome
