Porsche 911R vs. Aston Martin V12 Vantage S: Your Friday video break

[Suarez™]

Our fourth favorite Brit -- just kidding Chris, you're great -- took the new, hardcore Porsche 911R and the latest Aston Martin V12 Vantage S for a stroll on the street and track in a comparo for the "Top Gear" YouTube channel. Both feature manual transmissions and both are at home on either surface. We've driven them -- check out our reviews here and here -- but Mr. Harris, as usual, has his own interesting take. Expect beautiful roads; slow-motion, smoky drifts; and everything in between.

As a quick primer, the Porsche 911R only comes with a manual -- hence its hardcore-ness -- and hides a 500-hp, 4.0-liter Boxer engine underhood, while the Vantage gets a more-powerful V12 making 563 hp and 457 lb-ft. The Vantage weighs more too, so the Porsche should technically feel faster. Chris, bring us on home.
