Chris Harris

You can’t ask for a much better start than the one Chris Harris gets in Howard Donald’s otherworldly Porsche 356 at the 2015 Goodwood Festival Fordwater Trophy Race. The rear-engine 356 bolts to a comfortable lead ahead of John Young’s pole-sitting Jaguar XK120.

I admit that I get rather jealous of Chris Harris because he gets to drive all sorts of cool cars on the racetrack that I may never even get to see in person. I also find him to be very annoying; this is the guy after all that drove around in the Mazda MX-5 Miata with a bag on his head. 

Chris Harris just keeps on living the dream. For the latest episode of his web series, Harris drove a 1952 Ferrari 212, the last Export model to have a Touring Superleggera body. This functional artifact has it all: timeless look and sound, unadulterated driving experience and a racing heritage.

We’ve already featured a number of videos on the McLaren P1 both on its own and against other cars, but Chris Harris put a different spin on his time with his favorite hybrid supercar. Chris got to spend a couple of days with the P1 on the road and like Leno, he found it to be surprisingly usable as a daily driver.

Chris Harris had the chance to visit with Richard Tuthill and his Porsche Rally team, Tuthill Porsche. While Porsche certainly has a lauded history of circuit racing, it’s not as well known for its success in the world of rally racing.

While Australia’s Holden plant is expected to shut down in 2017, they still have a few good cars rolling off the assembly line – not the least of which is the insane HSV Maloo GTS – a pimped-out utility wagon (or “ute” as they call them down under.)

Chris Harris recently had a chance to get behind the wheel of the purported “Porsche 911 killer” from Mercedes-Benz, the AMG GT coupe. With a 4.0-liter 456-horsepower turbocharged V8 engine, a specialized 7-speed Getrag dual clutch transmission, and hydraulic steering, Harris takes a look at just how well the new AMG GT stacks up against Porsche’s sports car.

Ken Block’s latest Hoonigan driftmobile is a heavily modified, four-wheel drive, 845 horsepower 1965 Mustang and it seems Chris Harris couldn’t just let that sort of a beast sit idle. Instead, he paid a visit to the Hoonigan team to help explain the extraordinary engineering that went into building the car.
