British auto journalist and favourite YouTube host Chris Harris is back with his latest video. This time, he gathered his favourite cars of the past year in order to celebrate in his usual smokey fashion.

Shot in the beautiful Portimao circuit in Portugal, Chris gathered what he calls some of the most special driving machines of last year. The group includes the Porsche 918, Ferrari F12, Ferrari 458 Speciale, AstonMartin V12 Vantage S, BMW M3, Porsche 911 GT3 and the Renault Megane Trophy R.

For those of you wondering why there is no McLaren P1 or a LaFerrari, Harris explains in his twitter feed that although Mclaren did tried to get a P1 on time in Portugal, it just wasn’t possible. As for the LaFerrari, well, our best guess is, since we haven’t seen it tested outside the suburbs of Maranello by anyone yet, that it was out of reach for the producers even before the start of organising this gathering.

But this is not the case of this video, because this is a rare opportunity to see how a hypercar can hold its ground against cheaper exotic machinery or how a really capable hot hatch can keep up with the big boys.

Which one do you think deserves the first place? Spare yourselves 42 minutes and enjoy the video.
