What cars does Chris Harris have?
Check out our selection of the coolest Chris Harris cars amongst his collection.
Chris Harris stands gallantly as one of the desirable automotive reviewers in the world.
A member of the current trio who hosts BBC’s automotive review show, Top Gear, Harris, has had an exciting and extensive stint in the world of automotive review before his latest job.
His extensive knowledge and interest in the automotive industry made him the perfect man for his current job.
Before Harris’s addition to the revamped BBC automotive series, he had already built his portfolio with top players in the automotive industry by writing for Autocar magazine and reviewing cars for Chris Harris on Cars on The /Drive‘s YouTube channel.
Unlike the big names in automotive journalism, Harris’s interest in automobiles cuts deep and extends into the world of motor racing.
Most likely influenced by his mother, a professional cross-racer in the 1950s, Harris competed in top racing events such as the endurance racing event, 24 Hours Nürburgring.
For a man in love with everything about cars and racing, it’ll be almost impossible for Harris not to boast of an exotic car collection.
With several top vehicles from the biggest names in the automobile industry in his car collection, it’ll be a battle to pick the top 10.
However, MotorsTell has gone through the trouble of checking out the exquisite Chris Harris cars and presents the top-10 vehicles in his collection.
The Coolest Chris Harris Cars We Love
10. Citroen 2CV
Despite being from an era where automobiles were manufactured with lots of power, Harris still has kept this vintage car in his collection.
The car, a 1957 AZLM, has a 0.4-liter engine, which produces 15 hp power.
This 20th-century car, given the nickname “an umbrella on wheels,” boasts of simple design and economical fuel production.
Harris sedan, which gallops at 83 Km/h, is one of the very few of the 3.9 million Citroen 2CVs produced in the 20th century that’s still in driving condition today.
9. Peugeot 205 Rallye
Harris’s Peugeot 205 Rallye is an economical alternative to Peugeot 205 GTi but a cooler version of the Peugeot 205.
A variant of the Peugeot 205, named by CAR magazine as the 1990 “car of the decade,” Harris’s 205 Rallye has a 1.3-liter engine capable of producing 103 horsepower.
Easily misjudged due to its small engine, the 205 Rallye lived up to the task of competing with other expensive cars.
8. Land Rover Range Rover Classic
Like every other car collector, Chris Harris had to spice up his collection with a Sports Utility Vechine (SUV), and the River Classic was a perfect choice.
Harris’s Range Rover Classic doesn’t just speak of comfort; it’s one of the few cars that perfectly fuses comfort with hard work.
This SUV uses the four-wheel-drive system and lives up to its “classic” tag.
7. BMW M5 E28
The fact that this car is included in Harris’s collection gives further backing to the argument that the E28 wasn’t assigned its due honor.
Its 3-liter straight-six engine capable of producing 287 bhp may not wow car enthusiasts today, but it’s an impressive number compared to its contemporaries.
This saloon car can reach a top speed of 151 mph, and it has been claimed that the E28 can jump from 0 to 62mph in 6.2 seconds.
6. BMW M3 E30 Evolution
For a man who loves racing, Harris ownership of the BMW M3 E30 Sport Evolution is not surprising.
BMW produced this car with one objective in mind; to meet the standards to compete in international racing championships.
Powered by a 2.46-liter engine that produces 236 hp, Harris’s E30 Evolution stands out from the E30 M3s pack due to its large rear wing and front grille.
Produced for about seven years, precisely 1985 to 1992, its inclusion in Harris’s collection speaks volumes of his attachment to the car.
5. Ferrari 512 TR
A variant of the Ferrari Testarossa, Harris is the proud owner of this mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian automobile giants between 1984 and 1991.
The car boasts of a 4.9L V12 engine that generated 422 hp. In 4.2 seconds, the TR can move from naught to 62 mph.
Its reverberating engine provides enough power for the sports car to reach a top speed of 195 mph.
Unlike most Testarossa, major changes were made to the 512 TR interior and mechanical framework.
4. Ferrari FF
When Ferrari became serious about producing a car with a four-wheel-drive system, the Ferrari FF was birthed.
The FF, which succeeded the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, was unveiled in March 2011 and was touted by Ferrari as the world’s best four-seat automobile.
The FF, which stands for its Four-wheel drive and Four seats, has a 6.2L V12 engine that generates 660 hp.
In 3.7 seconds, the FF can move from 0 to 100 km/h. It boasts of a maximum speed of 200 mph.
3. Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0
For a car enthusiast like Harris with unquestionable high taste, his perfect car choice is very distinct from most car enthusiasts.
As a result, any car in his collection doesn’t have to do with looks but how it appeals to him.
Porsche, thankfully, has produced two cars that appealed to the top British automotive reviewer.
The RS 4.0, the last of the 997 GT3 produced, has a 4.0-liter flat-six engine capable of producing 493 hp.
The car can reach 60 mph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 193 mph. Harris’s RS 4.0 is one of the 600 models of the car produced.
2. Porsche 911 993 GT2
When it comes to his Porsches, Harris likes his cars limited.
The Porsche 911 993 GT2, which he owns, is rare as only 57 of the model was produced.
That has thus brought its price tag up to a million dollars.
The car has a 3.6-liter engine and is capable of producing 424 hp.
With a top speed of 187 mph, in 3.9 seconds, the 911 993 GT2 can move from zero to 60 mph.
1. Ferrari 599 GTB
The Ferrari 599 GTB is our top pick of the coolest Chris Harris cars.
Despite his rocky relationship with Ferrari, which saw Ferrari ban him from reviewing its car, Harris couldn’t stay off this beaut.
The grand tourer succeeded the Ferrari 575M Maranello in 2006 and has a 6.0L V12 engine capable of producing 620 hp.
The car jumps from 0 to 62 mph in 3.7 seconds and boasts a top speed of 205 mph.
