    Chris Harris in a Porsche RS Spyder at Weissach

    This may well be a repost, given its age, but it's new to me and quite good. Even if it's old, it's worth a re-watch.

    Two suprising things, Chris Harris' pronunciation of "Porsche" and the fact they let him out for hot laps in it. I know Harris writes for a number of UK publications, but what's his background that the factory will let him out in an RS Spyder? I can't imagine most journalists being allowed the drive?

    I thought his pronunciation of "pors-scha" is correct!

    I was very surprised too that Porsche let him drive the RS Spyder!

    Having said that he kept the car under control pretty well throughout so may be he has some skillz!

    The sound is awesome! Thanks for the link!

    They probably just mistook him for J. P. Montoya. He looks a lot like him.

    would be phenomenal to get a chance to take laps in an rs spyder . . . but i wonder if it wouldnt kill some of your enjoyment of lesser automobiles?
    neat video!
