Brace yourself for perhaps the most gorgeous, wallet-troubling face off-yet, in Episode 5 of Llandow Laps. This time, Chris will be setting lap times in restomod creations from two of the UK’s most respected specialists: Tuthill’s 993-generation 911-based SCRS; and the Alfaholics GTA-R. As you might expect with a combined cost of nearly £1 million, both cars have been extensively re-engineered, with the Tuthill 911 SCRS’ 3.8-litre flat-six producing 324 PS, and the featherweight, carbon fibre-bodied GTA-R pumping out 243 PS courtesy of its 2.1-litre twin-cam inline-four.

It might look like the plucky Alfa isn’t in with a chance, but at just 797kg compared to the 911’s 1,215kg heft it should make a worthy competitor, or at least a wonderful thing to watch sliding past the majestic, caravan-filled vistas at Llandow.

Put your headphones in, turn up the volume, and join us for another grin-inducing Grudge Match, with the added bonus of Sound Recordist Ren’s famously dextrous digits.

Please note: Collecting Cars does not condone any drinking games which revolve around Chris’ use of the word ‘beautiful’ in this episode.

Llandow Laps is our exciting new series, hosted by Chris Harris at the 'legendary' Llandow Circuit in South Wales.

The concept behind Llandow Laps is to pitch two vehicles from the same genre against one another to see which is faster; and the first series will feature grand tourers (with a twist), hot hatches, supercars, roadsters, and restomods.

As well as showcasing the cars’ performance on track, the films will also reveal the behind-the-scenes work required to produce the end result, introducing some of the personalities from the Llandow Circuit and the Collecting Cars team.

The science bit: All cars featured in Llandow Laps will be unmodified from the specification seen on screen, they’ll be running with a full tank of fuel, and they’ll be fitted with sensible tyres available on the road cars from the factory.

Lap times will be recorded, and a winner of each head-to-head will be revealed – although there’ll be more focus on the driving experience and character of the cars than on the numbers alone.

    I will never get over that intake noise from the Alfa...ugh it just sounds sooo good.
  • @amyjeffs3269
    Dont really know where we would be without Chris Harris, for the true motorsport enthusiast .He truly is, the ultimate motoring journalist.
  • @simongl1985
    That induction noise of that Alfa gives me goosebumps. If you prefer an ev over that you don’t have a soul and you must hate driving.
  • @derekharrison848
    Brilliant series, who needs Top Gear on the BBC when this exists. Well done Chris Harris and Collecting Cars
  • That little alfa is the holy grail of distilled driving pleasure 🙆🏽‍♂️
  • The Tuthill is a thing of beauty and definitely on the lotto win list but my God that Alfaholics GTA-R is just incredible. The GOAT Chris Harris in his element. Love this current series
  • @andrewhenry1419
    I just really want to say, the bits of "filming of this video" interwoven with the actual video is so, so refreshing and feels so real in a way that other automotive videos simply haven't done. Really wise and unique choice, keep pushing the art form lads!
  • @Adrianmgs97
    It's hard to put into words how much the bloopers and behind-the-scenes sections help make these videos feel so real and organic, genuinely makes you feel like you're around with the team! The contrast between Chris' presenting voice and normal talking/explaining stuff or just fooling around voice is great. Some of the best content ever, thanks a lot!
  • @max_h98
    Absolutely loving this series. Collecting cars x Harris and the film team, they know exactly what content we want and put together some fantastic stuff
  • @kings3803
    These videos should be getting millions of views as they are tv quality productions.
  • @davidmclean8423
    What a privilege to be in either of these stunning motors! Best one so far. “Hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have”…. no Chris Harris, of course we haven’t… you got to drive these beasts! But it was still chuffing enjoyable to watch though! Top marks all.
  • @Lou-f
    If you can afford the Alfa, you can afford both 😁 Great series 👏🏻
  • @IS300Spartan
    I’ve been absolutely loving Llandow laps ! MORE PLEASE
  • @malamar467
    I cannot think of a single car I would rather own than that Alfa. Absolutely magnificent.
  • Absolutely fantastic content. Very enjoyable to watch. Chris's presenting is so natural, down to earth and entertaining.
  • @tornado1598
    Brilliant as always, the 911 is beautiful but that Alfa is something else.
  • @turbowankel1264
    Great to see the appreciation to the crew it takes to make these videos. 🎉
  • @steveong4738
    Great video. We need more videos like this on Alfa Romeos.
