The Porsche 911 GT3 is a kind of sacred monster, and definitely the more classic of the two cars in this Autocar face-off.
Still, the BMW M3 GTS is currently a very trendy performance car of the moment, and although very different from the Porsche, it shares a similar philosophy.
But can the brawny BMW keep the pace with the 911?The video starts with some technical stuff because the benchmark this time has been nominated as speed.
But really, the comparisons were never going to stop there.
Apart from the differences in weight, and the entirely different gearboxes used, traction control and the like, there is history, image and purist philosophy to be taken into account here.
If you’re already divided into the BMW or Porsche performance camp, this video is unlikely to change your mind.
For the rest of us it’s interesting and certainly exhilarating to watch the two models fly around the track.
See the conclusions at the end.
