This is just petrolhead heaven, isn’t it? What we have here is a Porsche 911 R and an equally hard-core but much better looking Aston Martin in form of the V12 Vantage S, and a guy like Chris Harris to toss them around the circuit, mostly sideways. If you like driving and all its little technical details, this video will be like Godfather II to you.

Chris begins his comparison review of Porsche 911 R vs Aston V12 Vantage S by warming up his left leg at the gym because both these cars have a manual gearbox which is a rare thing these days. But driving stick is like riding a bicycle. You’ll never forget it.

So what would be your choice if you were in the market for a high-end weekend track car? What? A Ferrari 458 Speciale? Hmmm…
