Jaguar F-Type V8S v Aston V8 Vantage Roadster v 911S Convertible. - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 26,676 views
490hp, small, very pretty: is that enough to make the fastest F-Type a 911 rival? And would an Aston do the job of a Brit roadster better? This video might expand on some of these points.

New Porsche 991 GT3. First Drive. - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 187,986 views
If we were a car magazine we'd call this a WORLD EXCLUSIVE, but we're not, so we won't. Let's just say we got very early access to the car everyone wants to know about. And it was very, very good. Volume to 11 please.

Formula Ford EcoBoost. Street Legal Racer on Road and Nürburgring - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 269,069 views
You see, big car companies can have a sense of humour! Take a Formula Ford racer, add a tuned 1 litre 3cyl motor with over 200hp and you have a car which ace racer Nick Tandy got around the Ring in 7min 22sec. That's special, but even more special when it's on the public highway.

Ford Fiesta ST First Drive - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS

All the talk is Clio RS v Fiesta ST - well this video doesn't answer that question. But it's our first drive in the newest fast Ford. And Henry tends to be quite good at making these hot hatches.

It's not a finished car, and there was virtually no time, but when Porsche asks if you want a quick spin in a development 918 you get on the plane.

First big group test of 2013. Audi's R8 has a new dual-clutch transmission, the Turbo S is on its way out and for £20k, Litchfield will give you a 750hp GT-R than can handle normal roads. Game on.

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series: German Tyre Killer - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS

Quick trip to France for a spin in the new 630hp SLS AMG at Paul Ricard. It's a good car to watch and listen to, honest.

Bentley Continental GT Speed and Audi S4: Exploring VW Group DNA - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 180,957 views
Not a natural pairing, but a quick drive in both got me thinking about how VW manages its various brands in terms of character and driving behaviour. All very grown up, I know - but we can't skid the shizzle out of stuff every week.

Geneva show report: McLaren P1, LaFerrari, and E63 Road Test - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 380,636 views
Motor show reports can be a bit dull, but not if there are new McLaren and Ferrari hypercars, a new GT3 and an Alfa sports car. But even so, we added an E63 road test because, well, we always like some action.

Ask me what I'd do with my last gallon of fuel and this is it- go skid around on a frozen lake for a day. The best fun you can have in a car.

BMW M6 v Mercedes SL63 AMG - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 449,605 views
With over 1100hp combined these are the ultimate super-heated GT cars. Fast enough to match a 911 Turbo, comfy enough to cruise a continent.

Ferrari 458 Spider Nailed - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 845,245 views
Don't ask how I came to be driving it. I'm a year late to this review, so most people already know what they need to know. But do they know what the Spider is like if you drive it like a mentalist? They will now.

Snowdrift: Volvo S60 Polestar (with a bit of C63 AMG). And a drag race. - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 565,052 views
They drive a car from Sweden to the UK to avoid the snow. And it snows in the UK. We got to play in it though, and that cool air probably made it good for at least 508hp. It's a small-volume concept for now, but we had a C63 on display to add some perspective (actually, just because it was hilarious in the snow)

The Singer 911: All You Ever Wanted to Know - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 533,370 views
To some people, mainly Porsche people, this is the most desirable car you could own. Its creators are a bunch of zany, brilliant Porsche-files who have invested their lives in re-imagining the classic Porsche 911 shape for the year 2013. We tour the factory, speak to the team and drive it on road and track.

Mercedes SLS GT AMG: Hockenheim Track Test - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 133,780 views
Not the obvious choice in the 458 marketplace, but a special car all the same, the SLS now gets an extra 20hp (like it needed any more power) and a sharper chassis. Small beer, but we handn't done a video on an SLS in 2012, and they're just so cool, so we went to Hockenheim.

Last time, on the drag strip, the Porsche was destroyed. This time we went to a 2 mile runway to see what happens when you let a GT2 RS stretch beyond 150mph. No bikers were hurt in the making of this film.

A quick blast around the Ascari Race Resort in the new drop-top McLaren. Carbon tub should mean it loses very little over the Coupe. Latest engine spec gives 625hp!

by drive 1,054,720 views
BMW's M135i undercuts the RS3 by £10k in base spec, it's only 20hp down and weighs 150kg less. Can a sub M-car beat Audi's premium fast car representation?

Porsche 918 Spyder: a Ride In Porsche's Hybrid Hypercar - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 442,091 views
Porsche was testing the 918 at the Nurburgring, they invited us to take a quick ride on the road, not on the track sadly. I normally hate these shotgun features, unless they involve Group B cars, but the 918 needs some understanding.

Can you have too many new AMGs? No, you can't. This estate-ish, low-roofer probably answers a question no one has yet asked. But it goes like a randy rabbit and looks superb.

The world thinks the Panamera is ugly, and that no Porsche should be powered by a diesel engine. So the Panamera diesel makes people froth with anger - mainly because they think it isn't fast enough. Chris investigates.

Chris Harris has been known to not like the Mazda MX-5, even calling it dirty words in an article a few years back. Now he gets to support his point by swapping his Ferrari 599 with Cameraman and Editor Neil Carey's NA Mazda MX-5. Was Chris wrong a few years ago?

by drive 452,456 views
The finance payments were too much, someone offered me good money for it, so I sold the Porsche. 599 values have hit the skids in the UK, Ferrari won't let me drive its cars any more, and I miss driving them so I bought, a 599. It's fast.

Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S v Nissan 370Z v Used Porsche Cayman S - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 535,573 views
We know it works on track, but is 200hp enough on the road? You can get a 370Z for similar money. Or a used Cayman S. If the GT 86 can do the business here, it has to be one of the great cars of 2012.

Nissan GT-R Track Pack v Porsche 997 Turbo S - /CHRIS HARRIS ON CARS
by drive 279,672 views
It's been raining in England for the past 6 weeks, so this is a damp test. The GT-R Track Pack seems a bit half-hearted and, on-paper, the 997 Turbo S is the closest rival. I went to an evening track event at Brands hatch to discover the differences/ work out if the Track pack is worth the extra cash.

It has more torque than the space shuttle and BMW claims it will do over 40mpg. BMW also says it won't be selling the car in the UK or the US, the places that DRIVE is most commonly viewed. But when something has 3 turbos, you've got to go drive it at 155mph: no? -

To enter Group B in the 1980s, car makers had to build 200 road-going examples of the car they intended to rally. These rules created some of the most spectacular road cars of all time.
