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! 😉
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.
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. 😉
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.

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.

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 RUclipsrs put out
@Richard Harrold 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.
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.
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
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.
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.
The raft of Shmee, RUclipsrs 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.
This was without doubt (in my opinion) one of the best RUclips 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!
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!
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.
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
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
He is a good RUclipsr 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 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!
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.
this os one of the best interview i have ever seen. Chris Harris interviews is the best in vertices ive ever seen. this is a blunt interview (which is good) you want to hear this about real cars that you see and not all about lambos, but about cars you see more and more everyday. i want this interview and interview to reach NON-car people to see how this relates to them. Most people buy/lease the car and don't know anything about there car witn in within a 2 to 3 year lease and there lease is up or whatever? most people at the end of the lese are figuring out what there car is most capable of and what the functions are car does. Most people own don't know what even what their corolla does or is capable of by the end of their lease or ownership. this goes for most. Most people don't know their car us capable of and don' go through their manuals. You shouldn't even need the manual to know the most functions of your car. it's crazy most people go through there car ownership not knowing the capabilities of their vehicles. I REALLY WANT THIS TO BE IGNKOWALGED BECAUSE I DID SPEND LOTS OF TIME ON TOPIC EXTENDING UPON WHAT RBR & CHRIS HARIS HAD TO SAY
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!!
Guys, what a great conversation. Certainly the last section on EV's, the powergrid, putting a fun car away, and exhaust sounds, a really pertinent conversation to real problems the industry are facing and will face over the next 10 years.
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.
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.
Why this channel does not have millions of views is crazy......this is the best car review channel with the best information and technical techniques.....
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!
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.
Never seen this channel before. Thanks to Chris - I have now. Harris is a modern day legend, can never have enough of him. When I was a youngster I could never quite put my finger on who I wanted to be when I grow up. There were no Chris Harris types in USSR in the 80s... Well, at least I know now!
I think what Chris said at the 44 min mark is spot on, when I go back to what I consider my first proper "performance" car I was sat on the fence with a few choices, RS4, M4, Nissan GT-R, Porsche GT and C63 I had only driven a PP C63 at the time and I was never fully sure on the car and I was tipped towards the M4 at the time, but I ended up seeing his review of the 507 and I went out and test drove a showroom car, his passion for that car really pushed me over the edge and sold me on the C63 507, and well it's still sat on my drive, I've drove many cars since, to include a C63S and to date nothing in the same range has came close, people pushed me into a Tesla not long ago, yes it was a mind bending experience planting your foot, but give me my 507 and a Tesla on a warm spring day on a British B-road there'd only be one set of keys I'd pick-up, and thats the AMG.
CH: All I'd say is: "Buy something now that excites you, even if it's not new, hang on to it for as long as you can, and eventually you won't be able to drive it. That's what we're facing. Get out there and enjoy it while you can!" Solid advice. Happy I followed it with my recent AMG purchase!
Really enjoyed this interview. Can listen to Chris talk about cars all day…he really should get back to doing some new podcasts again. Great job RBR on a spectacular interview and for taking the time to do it. It’s been 2 yrs but listening to this (for the first time) feels as fresh as anything that’s been released today. Please arrange another one!We want to hear his take on the C63s hybrid-whatever-it-is lol
Mr. Harris is a true legend and seems to be rather modest too. Happy to see you together having this discussion / debate! Very entertaining and educating at the same time. Please do this again if possible!
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!
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.
Hat's off, while I came simply to see what Harris had to say as a fan of his for years, with this interview you've taken several massive steps forward for how I (as a passionate car enthusiast Harris' age) view you and your channel. Well done
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 ...
This is the best car chat on RUclips. The two most intelligent/ common sense blokes having a genuine chat about today's issues. Just awesome. (Would be great to get Christ back again?!)
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!
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
Way to go. Chris is great, plain and simple, we love Chris and are better for having him around. Thank you and do more. I love these car shows and while I have never even sat in a car of the ones you speak of I do enjoy the shows.
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.
Chris is a Legend! Problem is that people demonize people who are “negative”. We have adopted the American style of being OVER POSITIVE. And everybody who is a bit negative is considered as such. And this is Chris. Brutally honest. And it’s not appreciated anymore.
I've been following Chris for over a decade. He and Tiff are truly is the best car presenters. He has an amazing ability to truly describe how a particular car feels from a motorsport fanatics perspective. Something most other presenters cannot do. Chris has reached legendary status in my books!
Fantastic to hear the real Chris Harris. I love the honesty of his opinions. He must do more videos on his own channel. It’s where he started for me and so many of us feel the same about his content. Great work getting him to feature on your channel
Wouldn’t normally watch a video over 10 mins, especially when it’s a video of just people literally sat down talking over a certain topic. But I just watched every single second and loved it. What a video! You can’t hate him love his personality and how straight up he is
Great interview! I don't know how someone could dislike Chris Harris. He's seems super down to earth & is obviously a hell of a driver. His review of the M6 Gran Coupe is one of the main reasons I bought one.
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 RUclips about cars, with no driving of a car. Melbourne, Australia 🤟
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)
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 =)
For me Listening to Chris talk is comforting to know that I am not the only one with the exact same views about the current car market and RUclipsrs..then again I am in my 50s ..not a fan of old top gear or new top gear but a huge fan of Chris Harris. Henry catchpole and Harry Metcalfe...
Long time subscriber, first time commenter - actually only the second time I have ever made a RUclips 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, RUclips or Presenters of Content in general look up to you as inspiration. Long forward to the next instalment from you both!
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!
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.
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.
@@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. 👌
1:22 not to make this weird. 1:23 proceeds to make it weird. Great chat!! I appreciate the humility and legendary status Chris Harris has grown, passively, just by being down-to-earth and informed. Glad for you, Mr. AMG!!
Always had a lot of time for Chris Harris way back to his print career. Chris Harris on Cars is still my all time fave on the tube. It has stood the test of time as has his integrity. Great interview RBR
Pulling in this many views just for an hour chat with a car journalist. Goes to show you how respected Chris has become in the car community, the guy is an absolute legend that knows his stuff and isn't afraid to speak his mind.
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.

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
Easily one of the loveliest interviews ever seen on the Internet. No clickbait, no bs, and pure car fanatics at it. Well done!!!

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.

Ten supercars that do the same thing... Shmee pops into my head😬🙃
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 😂
The raft of Shmee, RUclipsrs 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.
This was without doubt (in my opinion) one of the best RUclips 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!
One hour! Thanks gentlemen for this amazing video format! I want more!
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!
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!!!
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.
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
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
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 RUclipsr 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.
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!
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.
this os one of the best interview i have ever seen. Chris Harris interviews is the best in vertices ive ever seen. this is a blunt interview (which is good) you want to hear this about real cars that you see and not all about lambos, but about cars you see more and more everyday. i want this interview and interview to reach NON-car people to see how this relates to them. Most people buy/lease the car and don't know anything about there car witn in within a 2 to 3 year lease and there lease is up or whatever? most people at the end of the lese are figuring out what there car is most capable of and what the functions are car does. Most people own don't know what even what their corolla does or is capable of by the end of their lease or ownership. this goes for most. Most people don't know their car us capable of and don' go through their manuals. You shouldn't even need the manual to know the most functions of your car. it's crazy most people go through there car ownership not knowing the capabilities of their vehicles. I REALLY WANT THIS TO BE IGNKOWALGED BECAUSE I DID SPEND LOTS OF TIME ON TOPIC EXTENDING UPON WHAT RBR & CHRIS HARIS HAD TO SAY
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.
Guys, what a great conversation.
Certainly the last section on EV's, the powergrid, putting a fun car away, and exhaust sounds, a really pertinent conversation to real problems the industry are facing and will face over the next 10 years.
nothing makes me happier than seeing these people x-over.
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.
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!!!
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.
This was an amazing video, and extreme cool that Mr Harris joined you.
Why this channel does not have millions of views is crazy......this is the best car review channel with the best information and technical techniques.....
OMG Raz, you have knocked the ball right out of the park with this one.
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!
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 RUclips.
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!!!
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.
Great job with the interview, you really show your maturity above the other influencers and “car flippers” here on RUclips.
Never seen this channel before. Thanks to Chris - I have now. Harris is a modern day legend, can never have enough of him. When I was a youngster I could never quite put my finger on who I wanted to be when I grow up. There were no Chris Harris types in USSR in the 80s... Well, at least I know now!
This is a brilliant Interview/conversation🔥❤️👏🏼 i enjoyed every second of it.Thank you Sir💪🏼
I think what Chris said at the 44 min mark is spot on, when I go back to what I consider my first proper "performance" car I was sat on the fence with a few choices, RS4, M4, Nissan GT-R, Porsche GT and C63 I had only driven a PP C63 at the time and I was never fully sure on the car and I was tipped towards the M4 at the time, but I ended up seeing his review of the 507 and I went out and test drove a showroom car, his passion for that car really pushed me over the edge and sold me on the C63 507, and well it's still sat on my drive, I've drove many cars since, to include a C63S and to date nothing in the same range has came close, people pushed me into a Tesla not long ago, yes it was a mind bending experience planting your foot, but give me my 507 and a Tesla on a warm spring day on a British B-road there'd only be one set of keys I'd pick-up, and thats the AMG.
This is amazing! Great to see a video of you two together!
CH: All I'd say is: "Buy something now that excites you, even if it's not new, hang on to it for as long as you can, and eventually you won't be able to drive it. That's what we're facing. Get out there and enjoy it while you can!"
Solid advice. Happy I followed it with my recent AMG purchase!
Best hour of RUclips I think I’ve watched. Great job!
Really enjoyed this interview.
Can listen to Chris talk about cars all day…he really should get back to doing some new podcasts again.
Great job RBR on a spectacular interview and for taking the time to do it.
It’s been 2 yrs but listening to this (for the first time) feels as fresh as anything that’s been released today.
Please arrange another one!We want to hear his take on the C63s hybrid-whatever-it-is lol
I didn’t want this to end, amazing video. Chris is a legend.
Mr. Harris is a true legend and seems to be rather modest too. Happy to see you together having this discussion / debate! Very entertaining and educating at the same time. Please do this again if possible!
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
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!
20:05 Can someone explain what this statement was about? Who had a personal attack on chris?
Also interested
I'd like to know that too. Tried Google but didn't turn up anything.
Someone said TGE
GAY???
Chris is so humble to how legendary he is within the industry, fascinating chat and you're a great host, gained a subscriber
Raz’s audio was so frustrating for me when it kept cutting out! Other than that amazing video
Best thing I heard in 2020, Chris Harris might reboot his old channel! 💥☄️⚡️✨
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.
Hat's off, while I came simply to see what Harris had to say as a fan of his for years, with this interview you've taken several massive steps forward for how I (as a passionate car enthusiast Harris' age) view you and your channel. Well done
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 is the best car chat on RUclips. The two most intelligent/ common sense blokes having a genuine chat about today's issues. Just awesome. (Would be great to get Christ back again?!)
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.
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. 💯💣💥
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
Way to go. Chris is great, plain and simple, we love Chris and are better for having him around. Thank you and do more. I love these car shows and while I have never even sat in a car of the ones you speak of I do enjoy the shows.
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.
Chris is a Legend! Problem is that people demonize people who are “negative”. We have adopted the American style of being OVER POSITIVE. And everybody who is a bit negative is considered as such. And this is Chris. Brutally honest. And it’s not appreciated anymore.
The best RBR content ever? For me, absolutely, thanks
I've been following Chris for over a decade. He and Tiff are truly is the best car presenters. He has an amazing ability to truly describe how a particular car feels from a motorsport fanatics perspective. Something most other presenters cannot do. Chris has reached legendary status in my books!
Chris mentioning that he's gonna get back to making Chris Harris On Cars videos got me so excited
Fantastic to hear the real Chris Harris. I love the honesty of his opinions. He must do more videos on his own channel. It’s where he started for me and so many of us feel the same about his content. Great work getting him to feature on your channel
Does anybody know who Chris was talking about when he mentioned another car journalist was slagging him off.
Wondering the same, somebody said TGE but not sure
@@kailanphillips7305 wouldn't call him a journalist...
Curious to know also!
Not got to that part yet but will be most likely Chris Evans he's described him as a bit odd and weird in a previous interview with Jonny Smith
Also interested...
Wouldn’t normally watch a video over 10 mins, especially when it’s a video of just people literally sat down talking over a certain topic. But I just watched every single second and loved it. What a video! You can’t hate him love his personality and how straight up he is
Damn I'm early. I see Raz and Chris Harris I click!
Great interview! I don't know how someone could dislike Chris Harris. He's seems super down to earth & is obviously a hell of a driver. His review of the M6 Gran Coupe is one of the main reasons I bought one.
Jeremy, Tiff and Chris: the three kings!
Tiff, Chris and vicki!
TURK!!
I assume you mean Chris Evans.
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 RUclips 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!
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)
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!!!!
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 =)
What did Chris say to Joe A on Instagram? Chis is a Legend, brilliant video.
For me Listening to Chris talk is comforting to know that I am not the only one with the exact same views about the current car market and RUclipsrs..then again I am in my 50s ..not a fan of old top gear or new top gear but a huge fan of Chris Harris. Henry catchpole and Harry Metcalfe...
This is so cool. Congrats Raz 🔥👍
Long time subscriber, first time commenter - actually only the second time I have ever made a RUclips 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, RUclips or Presenters of Content in general look up to you as inspiration.
Long forward to the next instalment from you both!
wow, two people, I didn't know that I wanted to see together.
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!
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
His self deprecating modesty is a rare trait, a true master at it within this realm. One of your best videos to date!
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!
1:22 not to make this weird.
1:23 proceeds to make it weird.
Great chat!! I appreciate the humility and legendary status Chris Harris has grown, passively, just by being down-to-earth and informed. Glad for you, Mr. AMG!!
Great interview guys 👍
Always had a lot of time for Chris Harris way back to his print career. Chris Harris on Cars is still my all time fave on the tube. It has stood the test of time as has his integrity. Great interview RBR
Who was personally attacking Chris about the a45?
Pulling in this many views just for an hour chat with a car journalist. Goes to show you how respected Chris has become in the car community, the guy is an absolute legend that knows his stuff and isn't afraid to speak his mind.
