- Interview with the Legend, Chris Harris! Huge honour to have Top Gear host and legendary car Journalist on Remove Before Race, it is not an exaggeration to say he inspired me to start talking about cars and eventually making this channel!
Though a few weeks ago, Chris and I had a little disagreement on the GT Black Series on Instagram! Chris said he wasn’t excited, and I reacted by disagreeing on stories. Chris spotted this, and suggested we do a video discussing that and everything else around the world of cars and AMG!
A weird start to what lead to an amazing discussion, and a chance for me to meet a hero to us all! The main topic of discussion is the GT Black Series and the future of AMG, taken from Chris' perspective as a previous owner of a CLK Black Series. I also dive into other controversial topics, so on today’s very special episode we dive into:
- #MercedesAMG GT Family
- Chris Harris on GT Black series - is it too much?
- Black Series VS AMG GT R + Pro
- AMGs that shouldn’t exist
- Personal attacks on Chris
- Chris Harris on the A45S
- Overpriced modern cars
- Influencers vs Journalists
- Reality of Press Trips
- UA-cam vs Top Gear
- Chris Harris on the New M3 Touring and M4
- 4 Cylinder C63
- Performance Brands turning Hybrid/Electric
Up next on on RBR is the BMW M340i, a surprise from Maybach, the Cayenne GTS and MUCH MUCH More!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

Pinch me moment when Chris messaged me with the suggestion of having a chat re: the Black Series! I knew how excited you all would be to see him on the channel, a real honour to have him on! Contrary to popular belief, and his own opinion, Chris is a really lovely bloke!
Some Behind the scenes facts:
- yes we just rocked up in a random park and made it our studio.
- yes I carried a load of garden furniture in the C63S - it’s practical
- yes my microphone was buggered, luckily the iPhone save the video
- no teslas were harmed in the making of this video.
Hope to get Chris back again, as mentioned for a special AMG shootout! 😉
Excellent chat. A very nice way to spend an hour in lockdown!!!!
Great content again Mr AMG! Would love to see a follow-up with you both and in addition Steve Sutcliffe. Ultimate auto journalism trio in my books! Also I believe RBR can be more demanding with car manufacturers, so you can do wat you do best.
Great content Mr AMG. Chris Harris is a legend.
We need more sit down chats like this.
Absolutely great content! Chris Harris is my hero. People don't like Doug Demuro on the other side of the pond, but for the very reason he doesn't attend launches, showcases owners cars, only takes invites from dealers and can't be bought in-full. Him and Mr. Harris here have a passion for cars, not necessarily the manufacturers that make them, and I love it when viewers or manufacturers bash them. It means they have struck on something that matters in a world filled with white noise. That's what I'm looking for, and hoping more of from you Raz (slippery slope, I know), in-between those vicarious Shmee videos. 😉
Chris really doesn't know how great he is...dude's a legend!
Shows the mans character, no aires and graces just the job.
100% correct! Love him!
I'm in NYC, and I wonder if it was his cred that brought Matt LeBlanc onto Top Gear. He's pretty revered over here - you don't get on the Joe Rogan podcast for nothing.
Legend! I’ve been watching his car reviews for years.
No bullshit, straight to the point. I just wish Top gear went back to being a car show and not an entertainment show
Was. He's teetering on the brink of ruining his lustre wit that Top gear crap.
He did some videos a while back that were pure Chris Harris, his one liners and expressions, character was excellent.
The one he did with a CLS63 Shooting Brake and the Pagani Huayra, check em out. The Benz one he did was one of the reasons I got one.
Class. He NEEDS his own show.
I genuinely don’t think Chris Harris realises how much we all love his automotive journalism. Either on tv, radio, UA-cam, pod cast or in the written word.
He's the only redeeming feature on the new Top Gear.
Easily one of the loveliest interviews ever seen on the Internet. No clickbait, no bs, and pure car fanatics at it. Well done!!!
His interview this week on The Late Break Show was very good as well. Harris just seems a fantastic guy.
@@michaelpecora5892 That interview was brilliant! Well said sir
The people who buy cars all the time to be interesting....
Hey Hoovie 👋🏻
Hoovie, know anybody like that?
I'd like to think that Chris wouldn't put you in that group if he saw your videos. It seems to me that you have a passion for all the cars you buy which is why I love watching your content. Keep it up.
They are the worst...almost as bad as the ones who take on unfixable projects and never finish them..
you the fkin man hoovie. i got a 65 cadillac to race you to bankruptcy. stay safe.
Chris Harris on Cars was amazing, really hope it comes back.
I could watch Chris slouched in a chair with a broken nose riffing on cars all day long!
Could have gone on for hours 😂
@@RemoveBeforeRace first Johnny Smith, than you... Call a like-minded colleague and have him ask Chris for a chat next :D he's chats have really made my week!
Do you like pork?
@@zensamurai6582 do you like pig 🐖 belly ?
TURD!!!
Unpopular Opinion: the real Chris Harris is way better than the Top Gear variant
Popular* opinion
Agreed.
Top gear is too setup
Totally agreed...he should run from that ridiculous programme.
Chris Harris on cars is what made me really believe that some car reviewers don't get paid to say what the manufacturer wants
Awesome video mate, thanks for the mention too 🙏♥️
Next stop should be on your channel mate👊💥
When I think back to when my son and I met you in London on the Gumball rally you’ve come so far mate and a shout out from Chris👍👍 - still, gutted you’re selling the M2C, however if you’re selling the wheels at a price to help a brother then give me a shout as they’ll go well with my HK M2C 😂
You have arrived when Chris Harris calls you out
From the old M135i video to getting called out by Chris. Made it!
@@kevinmcg6747 Haha thank you Kevin, I hope you and the family are well! I will keep you in mind for the wheels ;-)
Love that spec on Chris GT3 Touring
Edit : I miss (CHOC) Chris Harris On Cars and he's thinking to bring it back! Yes!
Really enjoyed that. Kudos for Chris reaching out and taking the opportunity to discuss it with you.
Chris is the voice of motoring, daily or supercar, his opinion matters.
Is he the new age Jeremey Clarkson?
Not to me it doesnt
@@1D0N I think he IS what Jezza WAS. However, I like both.
@@1D0N Jeremy Clakson never learned how to drive real sportscars, if you pay attention he's always using stunt doubles. Chris is much better and very much polite
TURD!!!
Shmee is too positive, doesnt have a bad word to say on anything... id love for him to have a opinion
He does though, very subtly! Love that about him.
All I see is a bobbling head reading a stat sheet
@@neophiri4079 why do you like that?
He gets to excited to the point its worrying sometimes
@@azamjavid5414 I applaud Schmee's love and dedication for cars but his overall appeal is so generic. There's just no energy or that typical british charm we see from Harris and his peers.
This is crazy! Chris Harris on the channel😍 This just gets better and better! Big congrats
Being in different parts of the world, the struggle is the same. Finding that line between trying to help the viewers vs the companies is frustrating. However there are certain brands that harbor a culture of critical thinking and don't stone you for being honest. In American its usually dictated by management and corporate culture. My view has always been bring value, honestly and knowlegdge to the viewers if you want to play the long game. Otherwise you are just as disposable as many of the modern products available. @remove before race
Great to see your comment here Mark. Your channel is unique and I love watching you
Hello sir, great channel, just wanted to add to your comment, most of the (developed world) atleast gets to enjoy these cars but us in India (4th largest Auto segment, also having high growth) don't even get an option to see or own these beauties, its not like there aren't people who can afford them but we don't have a car culture here and even the rich don't care, so the car manufacturers don't even bother getting performance cars here, we just have to resort to watching awesome car content that UA-camrs put out
Nawlige! Here in my garage with my Lamborghini.
@@sutats don't forget the mansion and most importantly those books
Mark your channel on UA-cam is by my far my favourite
Chris really deserves to be on Top Gear but damn I miss “Chris Harris On Cars” 👌👏
Imho the BBC should axe Top Gear and replace it with Chris Harris On Cars. They should have done that when the three old guys left.
@@johnsvensson6540 I loved the Harris/Reid/LeBlanc era. It felt fresher and more passionate about cars than TG had for years.
@@richardharrold9736 TG was pretty bad at actually covering cars and it became more about adventures. Car releases would be covered many months later. Then again I don't necessairly want a show that just covers cars either. Luckily with youtube we have options and access. It's just waiting for the creators to up their quality or find their way. Unfortunately, many of them treat it more like Instagram or lose their way. I actually appreciate Chris because he seemed like a strange individual who had everything I could ask for. When i discovered him I was blown away. There's room in the world for Top Gear and everything else. I think the mob hated for the show was a bit much for an entertainment program.
@@jinxtacy thing is, Harris and friends on UA-cam could have an adventure and share that sense of chemistry on a trip or track session AND deliver a piece of journalistic rigour. His film with Tiff Needell and Marino Franchitti beating the crap out of the hybrid hypercar holy trinity at Portimao is one example. Him and Tiff both driving Rover SD1s in a race at Goodwood (with Tiff's aggressive driving style causing a big Camaro to spin out on one of the fastest corners!). Wonderful chemistry, Tiff is a fantastically skilled lunatic behind the wheel and achingly hilarious out of the car. The Beeb should just give Harris a budget and freedom to bring in whichever of his friends he likes.
TURD!!!
Ten supercars that do the same thing... Shmee pops into my head😬🙃
Chris need to do that kind of chat more often. Really enjoy that kind of format. Can listen to him all day long. His background and knowledge on cars are fantastik. Keep doing it chris.
he did a similar chat on the Late Brake Show recently, and occasionally hosts a podcast on the Collecting Cars youtube channel. I highly recommend the episode where he has Nicky Grist on as a guest.
WTF???
Chris is going to restart his channel! Best news I've had all year and it's been a shit one. I was going to leave and will probably will leave a different comment but have paused the video to say way hey! That's such great news. I miss Chris's videos that were removed when he joined TG, they were brilliant.
Whilst am here, really enjoying your video RBR. Not watched anything by you for ages; didn't take to you at first but really enjoying this. It's refreshing, revealing more about you, you're likeable, think the location could be a lot better and CH seems to be enjoying it and it's a genuinely great chat.
Pro tip: use two mics per person and a shotgun mic overhead so you've always got a clean backup 👍
Or use one mic per person and monitor to make sure everything is working. And make sure everything is synced. The biggest problem in this video is the slightly out of sync feed from Chris’s mic.
Just needs to strip it back and keep it simple. If you try and listen to this as a podcast it’s horrible!!! Great content, but just messy production
Yeah, it really killed this video
@@obsidian.... killed it? Behave!!!!
@@brianmorley482 😂
nothing makes me happier than seeing these people x-over.
The interview of the century that we've all been waiting for!
This is the second one in a week, he did a awesome fairly personal one on another channel as well, car pervert I think the channel is called, have a look it's even better
@@cutdepiefails6596 Will do👍
It's the late brake show on UA-cam goes through some his own cars to
Behave 🤣🤦♂️
@@cutdepiefails6596 Yeah. That interview was also very good.
And the good news is: CH is thinking about doing YT videos again.
Have you guys noticed? As the new topgear is getting better and better, chris is helping new youtibers to gain subscribers by giving them interviews. What a kind gesture.
The raft of Shmee, UA-camrs etc who head to these car launches and give their "review" where all they scream & shout for 10 mins and only offer good words, they have no expertise in proper driving dynamics to offer anything worthwhile to say and its a shame its taking over from proper journalism.
Alot of professional car journalists are dead boring, yes they have to be objective but they are very very boring. Matt Watson, Rory Reid and Henry Catchpole are the best because they balance between entertainment and facts
Is Chris a proper motoring journalist anymore ????
He seems to think he still is but let's be honest here he's left that world behind and is now a TV presenter in the entertainment section hosting a slapstick TV show with a vague car theme.
Presenters strapped to the roof of a Bentley.
An ice cream van with tesla batteries and a mash potato machine.
Living in a car for 24hrs in Bolton and weeing yourself whilst aiming for a she wee (a what ???)
Deliberately wrecking numerous hire cars.
Deliberately wrecking press cars.
None of those things are journalism.
And he wonders why he isnt getting invited to car launches anymore.
@@th3b0untyhunter I get what you're saying but that's just a show.
It's just that Chris doesn't have the reputation and personality of the big 3 to get away with it.
Shmee doesn’t “scream and shout” plus he knows about driving dynamics 😂😂 I understand what you mean, but Shmee is not an example of that
@@tomfield8766 Dude. Shmee does shout. And throws around cliche comments every time in every review.
One hour! Thanks gentlemen for this amazing video format! I want more!
Chris is like the dude who invented the warp drive from that star trek movie. He just wanted to go fast, listen to trashy rock music and get drunk afterwards - while the rest of the world built statues and named universities in his honor. :D
Extraordinary interview. Chris Harris is the epitome of excellence in automotive journalism.
This was without doubt (in my opinion) one of the best UA-cam sit-down car debates I have ever watched, I throughly enjoyed every minute and the fact it lasted 1 hour, time just flew by. Both you guys were open and candid which we need more of these days, Chris is an absolute legend and speaks his mind in a professional way. Great video and your content is awesome, thank you for taking the time to create this video! Keep up the great work!
The best car journo in the world with the best car you tuber in the world
Well done 👍
Too kind’
@@RemoveBeforeRace we love you bro
He is a good UA-camr but not the best in the world. That has to be Harry catchpole, Jason Camissa or the little Brown man him self. They startet the Business
honey6446464 Henry Catchpole is a Journalist who does some you tube with the Carfectiom team, same as Harry Metcalfe is a serious motoring journalist that has a You tube channel.
Chris Harris is not a car journo, not anymore.
He's moved on and is now a TV presenter in the entertainment sector.
I agree with Harris, the same goes for Porsche GT2 RS, a GT3 is enough.
i have a 991.2 GTS .. and it’s more than enough. u made a great point!
@@JohnGem0324 It depends what you do with it. To go to your grocerie then yes it is enought , for track ? no at all aspecially chassi wise
Carrera 4S is more than enough! 0-60 mph in 3.2s!
SMUTS!!!
Congrats on the monumental achievement of having CH on. While I think Clarkson and Co. have to be said to be the most influential car journalists ever, whom I appreciate greatly, I would rather listen to Chris any day of the week. And obviously, many would agree to his greatness and he is still humble and uncomfortable about it. So funny. He knows, but won’t accept it. But I like that. Again, congrats on the milestone video.
Chris Harris is a living legend. His contributions to the car world will be up there with May, Clarkson, Hamond, Tiff and all the other greats. 💯💣💥
Easily one of the most enjoyable videos I have watched for a very long time! I could sit and watch you two talking for hours!
Watch the late brake interview.. Even better
TURD!!!
This was an amazing video, and extreme cool that Mr Harris joined you.
Damn, thought I was the only one who thought the Black was god awful, tacky, mansory bs. This is coming from a huge MB fan
I’ve watched this numerous times and I have to comment! Most excellent video by two most excellent individuals! I love watching you both! Thank each of you for what you do! Thank you both for being so relatable and down to earth. You each speak TO your viewers not DOWN to them and I am truly grateful! Keep up the great work and thank you for the extremely interesting content. (From the States)
OMG Raz, you have knocked the ball right out of the park with this one.
Really interesting interview. Chris is a legend (to me). A good "old fashioned" experienced journalist who is moving with the times. Henry Catchpole next please!!
@Isaac Idun +1.. Agreed.. The best of the best .. you know who you are. .. Yes, yes Henry Catchpole is a tier one automotive journalist.
I can say easily that this is one of the most enjoyable talks I have seen about cars in ages. And its very honest too, even talking about owning cars, prices and how this dudes do not make it like they are super millionaires and are just showing off cars. Great to see, thank you for the content.
Long time subscriber, first time commenter - actually only the second time I have ever made a UA-cam comment (Ever).... Was brilliant to see a quality discussion from 2 “Influencers” who I have different approaches to how content is presented. Regardless of the term utilised to describe you both, the wider population (whether they want to admit it or not) will consider both Raz and Chris as people who massively aid decisions about vehicles, even if just supporting conversations at the pub - I know I certainly do!
Chris - You are a legend Mate and brilliant at how you approach things in your life, UA-cam or Presenters of Content in general look up to you as inspiration.
Long forward to the next instalment from you both!
This is amazing! Great to see a video of you two together!
This is a brilliant Interview/conversation🔥❤️👏🏼 i enjoyed every second of it.Thank you Sir💪🏼
Chris Harris what an absolute legend!!!!
The guy has done a lot for the motoring industry and he's one of few left that actually says what he thinks. To add to it he drives like a champ.
Massive respect as definitely one of best interviews of 2020!
Chris is so humble to how legendary he is within the industry, fascinating chat and you're a great host, gained a subscriber
I didn’t want this to end, amazing video. Chris is a legend.
Great job with the interview, you really show your maturity above the other influencers and “car flippers” here on UA-cam.
Never seen or heard of your channel before, came here for Chris Harris and got a wonderful interview. As you said not so much a debate or poking fun at a car you’ve ordered but asking the real questions people have in their heads and don’t broadcast. I hope we are all able to keep cars we enjoy and drive them for many years to come. Good work!
Great interview, Raz... with a legend who doesn't realise he is. Really enjoyed this... and look forward to you two hooking up again.
Great conversation.... Chris Harris is a legend, more of this content please...! 👌🏁
Raz’s audio was so frustrating for me when it kept cutting out! Other than that amazing video
Great interview, thanks guys! Always fun to hear Chris’ opinion as a fellow M2 owner; it provides me a great baseline to consider the topic. I really agree with the point about not enough journalists having teeth. I instantly respect and enjoy people who are honest (SavageGeese on YT, for example) about their opinions. Thanks for the video, take care.
I was fortunate enough to run into Chris at Geneva Motor Show several years ago. He was so cool and open for a quick chat. He is such a down to earth guy and really has that dry humor. I will always remember that =)
Chris’s opinion always goes above everyone else as he’s always so spot on. I have a huge playlist of Chris Harris on cars off all his work on UA-cam.
Yes he is great but why did he go hard on the Rolls royce cullinan design like that 😬 i don't see ugliness in the outside design
SMUTS!!!
Damn I'm early. I see Raz and Chris Harris I click!
Chris is so humble. There is so much love in the car community for his passion and honest reviews, not to mention driving ability. Easily my number one car journalist/reviewer. Such a great guy. A ticketed audience with Chris Harris, make it happen, i'm in!
His self deprecating modesty is a rare trait, a true master at it within this realm. One of your best videos to date!
Best hour of UA-cam I think I’ve watched. Great job!
Chris mentioning that he's gonna get back to making Chris Harris On Cars videos got me so excited
54:40 - 55:05 spot on
"that's my passion, and I don't want them to take my passion away."
This was fantastic Raz, I am more into bikes but I found this fascinating. I could imagine for a car enthusiast having two people offer valid opinions in a topical debate on vehicles they love a very engaging aspect. Very adapt and brilliant watch!!
This is so cool. Congrats Raz 🔥👍
Sound issue at about 47. Love that this starts with Chris you're old, you are really old. Great listen and look forward to another one when your Black arrives. Great content and great news that Chris is going back to it too
Loved the video and the banter between you and Chris. Please bring him back on the channel. Also, you and Chris played a huge role in my decision to purchase a 2018 & 2020 E63S. Don't ever think that you guys don't help the viewers in their decision process. I knew the Hammer was for me after I saw you guys drive and talk about the car. Thanks for all you do! Cheers!
Great interview Raz, thank you for having an honest conversation with Chris about the future of performance cars as we know them today - bottom line, as Chris stated so aptly - no matter what other people think, what is most important is how YOU feel when you drive the care of your choice, keep up the good work RBR.
wow, two people, I didn't know that I wanted to see together.
The best RBR content ever? For me, absolutely, thanks
Watched this whole thing in the AM Australian time and was honestly one of the best discussions and pieces of content I've seen in a while. Really honest and interesting.
I’m not sure that Chris knows just how powerful his voice can be. This was amazing Raz!
I like Chris's vision for the future, a possibility to have a second ICE/Hybrid car to enjoy for a few miles per year and then an EV as a daily. Hopefully the government won't force people to give up their passion altogether.
Great interview guys 👍
Great rapport. I really enjoyed this episode and I do hope you have more legends like Chris come through. Continue to provide us with amazing content. We are fortunate to have people like you who are genuine, authentic and creative. Keep up the amazing work.
Longest you tube video I’ve watched without touching the fast forward. Great work!
Jeremy, Tiff and Chris: the three kings!
Don't forget Harry Metcalfe, or Henry Catchpole.
Tiff, Chris and vicki!
TURK!!
I assume you mean Chris Evans.
@@MD-uu5nt huh?
I'm going to stick my neck out say Chris finds Schmee irritating.
Who doesn't? Rhetorical question.
Everyone finds him irritating
Shmee was ok to start with but he's outstayed his welcome and been overtaken by Influencers who are far more grounded and down to earth...namely RBR, JWW, SOL, Joe Achilles, Seen Through Glass, Archie & TGE!! They're all elbowing Shmee out the way!
He is irritating. Seen Through Glass and SOL are just as bad.
@@andrewcunningham6181 true. Now he's just like watching a corporate video. Plus he's always nice about every car.
So cool to see this happen! Chris is an absolute legend. Get him on the channel for these sorts of discussions more often
Well done gentleman. I've watched Chris for a few years now, but Raz that was the first time I've come across you. that was a highly enjoyable and engaging conversation that I thought I'd watch for the first few minutes of.over a cuppa.. but ending up watching the entire thing. Very interesting to hear you throwing around the ins and outs of motoring journalism, both older and newer. One of the best things I've seen on UA-cam about cars, with no driving of a car. Melbourne, Australia 🤟
Chris Harris made me buy an Audi S5 years ago with his tuned S4 vs RS4 video!
This video alone is more insightful and entertaining than ALL of the content Schmee150 has put out in the last 3 years combined.
Hit the nail on the head mate
TURD!!!!
“Get out there - enjoy it while you can” words to live by....
The lad knows his onions. Love Harris. Good chat that. Thanks for posting.
What did Chris say to Joe A on Instagram? Chis is a Legend, brilliant video.
GT2RS or GT Black series need to be produced and they deserved a price tag that high. It's a special compliment to build such amazing track weapons.
It's just inspiring to see Porsche and AMGs battle for a faster track weapon. Great rivals！
Cars that people really need to avoid are those jokes like performante or SVJ that using tuned cars to fake a laptime that the real cars delivered to customers are totally different cars and have some influencers to tell those lies with them.
What a great video mate. Congrats on getting chris on. Very much enjoyed watching this
Firstly great interview. Tell Chris he is the number one. Knows his stuff. Isn’t afraid to tell it like it is, and boy can he drive.
RBR is an influencer, to a point. I ordered a 992 C2. I was uncertain as to whether it should have been an S. Having seen your excellent review of the C2, it gave me the confidence to leave the ordered spec alone. I’ve now have the car for several months and it’s brilliant, so thank you. It’s certainly more than powerful enough for the road, it’s great fun. The 700-1000 bhp cars these days are all about “mines bigger than yours”. I couldn’t care less. The 992 C2 is a great car and I feel privileged to own it. Thanks again. David
To say that the GT black series looks like Mansory designed it is actually an extremely rude thing to say. 😂
To whom, Mansory, Mercedes or a 12 year old?
it is rude, but also t-t-true.
@@R-Tap To mercedes abviously. Mansory should be fined for destroying cars.
I love Chris Harris and I honestly can listen to him talk for hours and enjoy it but I honestly dont get how it looks like a Mansory. 😂 and yes Mansory should definitely be fined for touching beautiful cars.
I'm sure mercedes as a reason to make the car that way but it does look aftermarket
savagegeese along with chris harris, my favorite personalities.
Clicking on this video I didn't think I would watch it even halfway through. Turned out to be more meaningful than anything else in the past few years from the automotive youtube world. Exposed facts the way they truly are!
Glad to hear it exceeding expectations!
10 years ago, an interview like this would have been impossible. Technology made this possible and it changed people's behaviour. I must admit this is the best scenery ever! In a park with the cars parked behind. Last but not least this interview is not only about cars. Chris offers us all a lesson about honesty & verticality in life. Respect, guys!
Two of my favourite petrolheads 👍👌, just add Mat Watson from Carwow ....and yes a 4 Cylinder C63 wouldn't without doubt be anywhere near the heritage, and the menacing presence of the W204 C63 6.2 V8. W205 4.0 V8 turbo already started the dilution effect.
I think a little number of people would care how faster a tuned 4 Cylinder C63 is .
I would take 4.xx seconds 0-60 hooligan over a sub 4 seconds 0-60 skinny fast toy.
Henry Catchpole and Chris Harris is a dream team.
No love for Tiff Needell? Highly credential driver with good level of charm in my opinion
@@Alby911 Needell, Catchpole, Harris, Metcalf and Bovingdon. Crème de la Crème
@@kkfarmedkk Tiff, Harry and Henry are all i'd want out of that list.
Add in Matt Prior from Autocar, Steve Sutcliffe (boring voice for videos but amazing journalist) and 1 or 2 of the better influencers such as Mr AMG / JWW / Joe Achilles and it'd be perfect. 👌
@@Alby911 Sure , I still remember the episode when Tiff drove the E39M5 on top gear , that was simply epic!
Who was he talking about re: A45S?
tge
Brilliant lads, really enjoyed that. So right about cars with more power than you’ll ever use. I had to take my car to Silverstone last year on a open pit track day to get a little value out of what I’d bought. Had the car 2 years from new and never even scratched the surface of what it was capable of ! Changed it for the 992 4s fully loaded with all the extras and so glad I never bought the turbo s , it’s too fast unless your going to be tracking it !
50k more for 200hp you’ll never use IF your registered SANE !

Epic little chat this 🙌🏾 glad you shared this exchange with an driving inspiration to so many of us, a massive milestone for RBR and the enthusiast community in general.
I really love it when a person says something the way they really feel about it without being bai's or without fear or favor, that's why I love watching and listening to Chris Harris, nice content Raz.
Having owned an AMG C43, and 2 AMG C63S’s, the change to 4 cylinders + electric ⚡️ assist won’t attract my business any further. Next purchase ? Bespoke spec’d 2022 C8 Z06 ...
Same feeling I would have been fine if they added electric to the v8. V8 hybrid would have my interest.
E63 is a V8
OH CRAP!!!
This was brilliant, thanks! 27 Downvotes from A45S owners!
What an amazing video. Thank you for taking the time to produce this. Well done!
Absolutely love that Chris is spending the time to do these interviews.
I’m 18, and even I know if Chris Harris says it’s not good, then It’s out
So you haven’t developed a way to build your own opinion on cars?
@@mathias5035 I have built a mental dot plot of all my opinions and Chris has the line of best fit, so I don't have to waste my time individually dissecting each and every new model. If I'm interested, and Chris also says it's good even in respect to his backlog of experience, then I move forward with more research.
SPÅN!!!M
Let Chris finish his talk! You keep on interrupting him
Great video mate loved it, we need more of these discussions keep up the good work.
This was such a great interview. Loved it. Keep up the good work!
