- With a 4.2-litre N/A V8, estate practicality and a manual gearbox, is the B7 RS4 'peak Audi'? We found out by putting our new presenter Alex Gassman, a self-confessed 'BMW guy', behind the wheel to see if it can win him over!

Every week the views keep going down, these guys aren’t bad, but 3 million subscribers wasn’t earned by them, or the big company that bought out CT, it was Alex, Ethan, Jack, Edwin and the rest, this just isn’t Car Throttle anymore
shows change overtime. it's now the 4th video with the new presenters so if you don't like it, don't bother watching and commenting
@@karllea2011what is that logic? dont speak unless you have all good things to say? if they listened to criticism and didnt use your logic, maybe they wouldnt have failed
@@ckuh my logic is the more likes and comments it gets, the more engagement it recieves. People commenting the same "its not the same as it was before" comments simply boost the channels popularity when, in this case, has been commented by the same people for the last 4 episodes. Yes I understand criticism, what I don't understand is ranting on and on.
Thank you for your reply.
@@karllea2011 fine i get that:)
So no introduction? This is Alex from Camber and Combustion! Guys a top driver and knowledgeable just enjoy the content and stop crying about everyone leaving.
4 videos in with the new guys and people are still crying. Stop coming back if you don't like it. Simple 😂. I'm giving them a chance.
I think the videos are getting better the guys seem to be getting more comfortable infront of the camera
@@NoahLeMarExactly. They just need a bit of time to gel and get comfortable. It's not an easy job they are jumping into and they do have big boots to fill. That's why people should give them a chance. I've enjoyed the videos so far.
I like this new format. Cause at the moment it looks like everyone on the internet buys an old car for a few hundred, does some track day or a challenge and ditches it. And I don't disrespect anyone for doing so, I'd still go and enjoy watching it, but CT needed a reboot in my opinion. I'm a car guy, I'm here for car content. And I like Alex, he's very enjoyable and good to watch.
@@CineeK911yep you can like this channel and still watch all the others as well. Well said. Glad some people are giving these guys a chance
There’s nothing wrong with them, people are hating them just because they aren’t the old Guys. They are trying their best and people leaving aren’t helping them. Shouldn’t hate them, hate the owners that made the others leave. Hope those keep up the good work.
If CT hadn’t gone this way, we wouldn’t have AA, TDC and ATG. Just see it as we get more varied content 😅
Never going to be easy to come into a job when there's well liked predecessors to follow. Let's be honest, people don't like change. Fresh presenters will bring a fresh take to the channel - some will like it and some won't!
While not the same as when Ethan and Jack were the presenters, I think that this will find its own style and it will be okay. Can't have too many car channels.
100% agree - upvoting your vote and downvoting each and every negative comment.
To be honest its still better than the low quality content auto Alex is putting out, its the laziest videos ive ever seen. How people can watch an advert with adverts in the middle of the adverts is madness. Show these new guys some respect. Nobody likes change but new viewers will come along 💪
Nice guy and great job! However, it’s the people that make the show - not the name! 🙌🏼
Imagine how happy all these grown men in the comments would be if they put as much energy in to being positive….. or just scrolling past 😅
It’s just sheep mentality Phil. Makes them feel safe if they agree with the majority of commenters. They’re the mummy’s boys.
The others abuse the fact they can be horrible hiding behind their CZcams identities, they’re just w@nkers 🤷
I'm only here to dislike then I click off. Byee
@@sercanserj7804don't come back
Compliments for the video. Not even half as bad as people want to make it appear. Enjoyed it!
And no one liked the present after the trio went. And now its finally been cancelled even though Hammond has had way more bad accidents than the new guys combined
Alex I'm happy for you that you have joined CarThrottle, I hope it will be a great journey for you! I remember you all with Matt and Ben from Camber and Combustion! Cheers my man!
So we are going ignore the head in the trunk 🤣
I came here for the car, not to waffle on about CT and a new presenter ( who btw is great ). I have an RS4 B7 myself and clicked on the video to watch the review and to see if a BMW fanboy could be swayed and by the looks of it, he was. Carry on chaps, bring more content like this and it just compliments the other channels.
FFS, this is their FOURTH video, and people are STILL moaning on about it 'not being the same', 'I'm done with this channel', 'the owners have ruined it, I'm unsubscribing!!' Well how many bloody videos do you need to keep watching before you just jog on somewhere else and stop moaning? Either accept it for what it is and keep watching, or just go - the channel still has over 3 million subscribers..... trust me...... they won't miss you!
I know this guy from a channel called camber and combustion congrats on this gig look forward to seeing your content 👍
A4 and bigger Audis never had a Haldex AWD. They've always had the "real" thing, even today. If the engine is placed longitudinally in an Audi, you won't be getting Haldex but rather Torsen/Crowngear etc. The default power split has been 50/50 and then switched to 40/60 F/R.
Yeah, those rubbish R8s with automatic all wheel drive. No Haldex or viscous couplings for me, thank you very much.
Yeah no haldex in that.
iam actually ok with a change of format from "screaming like small girls to make it fun / crazy laughing to every shit" to some other like older car reviews and such.
Feels like Car Throttle created a few dummy accounts 😅
?? Camber and combustion take over? That's actually pretty damn cool! Having a proper drivers hosting the channel and finally seeing them with some kind of budget, that would be nice!
There's literally no one left
Don’t know the guy, but I actually like him. Hope he makes it as the new face of the channel👍🏻
I like the videos, and Alex is a good host. But I think it's a shame they didn't do a proper introduction; they just turned up and started presenting, like going to work and finding someone else is the boss, and no one said anything. Maybe they were worried about addressing it directly, but it couldn't have gone any worse with the fans anyway. I hope you are getting paid properly. That's the only thing that saddens me about seeing new people on here, knowing someone took the poorly paid job (We all saw the job advertised along with the pay, £23k for a full-time job, in central London, basically running the channel, presenting, writing, filming, editing)
Surely not £23k?! Alex is legit a great driver and he loves a good track shed. I’d be shocked if he’s being paid so poorly!
I follow yer channel on Chamber and Combustion, ye are probably one of the best drivers ive seen on CZcams, glad to see you guys getting on the channel ✌️
How many times did they use the car going through the puddle shot!
Enjoyed this style of review video, best yet from the new team i think, keep it up.
This is like when the old Top Gear was finished, and the new guys started vibe
Damn straight who is this guy ?
Just came to say RIP
jep
Bye then 👋
You must live a sad life
Well this is the fourth video now, so uhhh........ hurry up and go will you? Cheers.
You died?
Idk why people are complaining so much. Ethan and Jack have their new channel and we have these solid lads to watch too. More content is always good.
Don’t be discouraged lads, keep the content coming.
Your daily driver is the same as mine! Ggreat fun and a pocket rocket. Oh, great Vid too 😁
That non-stop background music is really annoying guys. Liked the rest of it though
Going to stick with it and I do hope to see some good things in the future off CT I do think things would be improved however to remove that background music it's not needed
Who tf are they 🤨
Cheery bye CT, you've ended yourself
Cry more 😂 your comments make their paychecks bigger
Well this is their fourth video now........ why are you still here?
@@GarryMcGovernMonica has nothing better to do than spread her misery
Car Throttle put a post up on Facebook the same day they released the first video on YT with new presenters. It said - "With reports circulating that The Grand Tour might reboot with new presenters, we think it'll be better left consigned to the history books" Like seriously you couldn't make it up! The fact that the irony is totally lost on them doesn't surprise me! I've got nothing against the new format and presenters, it's just the ignorance to change everything overnight and act like everything is fine. You should have done proper introductions and explanations as to the direction of the channel and been open about it.
Looking forward to seeing the new stuff you got planned for your channel.
Great video keep it coming guys
Feel like something missing
Yes, it's missing a budget. This is the reason why the old guard left - the channel owners don't want to spend money and so we're now getting videos of a man driving a car around for a bit while talking about it. Nothing against the presenter.
I'm still watching. It's not the same but nothing can stay the same forever. I just hope they are given a decent budget and scope to create great videos.
Great video, very grown up with no pissing about.
Old Alex Kersten fan here.
Very happy he's going strong with his old CT friends over to their channels. I'll always watch them but I'm okay if CT is going for a new direction. I'm giving them a chance for now.
Same. No hate, let's give them a chance.
Another good video. That engine sounds amazing. Would be good to see you put it against the c63 and the M3 of the same gen head to head a challenge video. Keep it up gents 👍👍
Love that sound, one of the best German V8’s ever, so glad to own one
Fair play to the new crew just jumping in where a brilliant crew left off, but a good introduction would of been bang on! Fingers crossed everything works out things take time
Love the bucket seats 🔥🔥
Good review guys! Keep it up :)
My dads friend used to have one of these years ago when these used to cost 40k. What a beast.
see what this channel has to offer now all the good folk have left
sorry, but this is like BBC top gear, once the original crew have left, everyone else is just not up to par
Good video, nice work.
All for the change of presenters. Good job Car throttle
I'm waiting for C63 AMG W204 review cause man that V8 is just rowdy as heck!
Love this! Alex is a great driver and worth watching 👏!!!
People need to relax. Alex 2.0 is a legit driver. His other channel Camber & Combustion is epic! We have more cool shit to watch! I hope they do cheap track car comparisons given his talent he suits the older “track build” content we all loved.
Keep up the good work Alex. Really like the new change of direction...more car content for the win
As much as a CT fan for a long time, at first it is abit weird that the whole CT is changing but let's give a new presenter (Alex and Matt) a shot to represent CT, their car reviews so far quite nice and entertaining to watch as much as before
Like this format. Nice car review of a nice car !
This was decent, should do more of these. People will always hate, chin up & eventually the folks who moan will get embarrassed for still subbing to a channel they seem to hate so much. I've watched Car Throttle/read it since the Adnan days & people come & go. You lads don't seem too bad so I'll stay subbed.
Great Video, I will still watch this channel, pls introduce the new guys
Love these cars... Just not the price to run them ... 👍
Amen to that. Evil gt had 1 and it was basically bankrupting them lol.
first time i've watched this channel for a while....... and i thought this is a different channel, then i realized the original presenters are gone....
I’m a BMW fanboy, but I do love the B7 RS4. That engine is incredible and the optional buckets really lift the interior.
A family member had a grey saloon RS4 that I got to drive; it definitely left an impression. That noise shouldn’t have come from a mall, grey saloon car.
Loved my B7 RS4 avant, perfect car in every way. Only downside was the crippling maintenance costs. No independent Audi specialists near me would touch it, so it had to go through Audi.
The best RS4 by a mile🙌 I'm enjoying the new content, everyone's got to remember it's the owners of Car throttle that was the issue not the new presenters so people need to lay off, keep up the good work💪
I think they doing pretty well
Are ‘most’ Audi’s Haldex?? I mean possibly since the introduction of the A3, but Audi isn’t ‘known’ for their Haldex awd system, they’re known for the Quattro system which has always used 50/50 split or rear biased… otherwise, good video again again guys!!
Any1 remember when chris Evans joined top gear?
Car looks great even 20 years later
Good video Alex … lovely looking car.. you could upgrade put a new stereo in car play and that would be mint
Where are the regular muppets??
I think the majority of people would have appreciated a goodbye video from the gang which should have ideally lead into an introduction of the new hosts, CT never did this and it's showing big time stat wise and with the whinging going on.
overall the new hosts are pretty good, keep it up!
Give it time that was the best since the new guys started, from d your own style don't try and copy what went before.
Love the channel, when will you do another top gear style camper conversion car video?
Edit: where are the lads?
All left
Can I ask why the new people not that I have a problem with it but where have the original gone
CT laid them all off and they went and started their own channels.
Great content, ignore all the moaners obviously not long term CT fans from way back
Don’t listen to the donuts in the comments
Keep doing what your doing 💚
There was a dead body rolled up in the carpet in the boot!
Yes . I thought I saw that as well. Taken stuff to dump. Cheers from Adelaide 🇦🇺
Wow they bought a Audi RS4 great!
Well done new presenter man
Cheery bye CT, you've ended yourself.
If you don't like it, don't watch it! Simples.
@elliot7206 don't watch? That's for people with braincells
Alex you are a great guy hope you guys buy and build something in the future and all the best.
Think its time to hang the gloves up CT
So far I think I could possibly give you a run for your money lol 😂, I’m only joking 🙃
How are people still so indignant about the fact the original guys left after _three whole weeks_ all the while espousing to be fans who apparently took this long to notice they're gone!? Don't get me wrong, i'm a massive fan of the former guys and therefore sympathise with the reasons they gave for leaving, but to keep this level of outrage up for so long seems so insincere and vindictive. Give the fact you potentially have another car channel to watch a chance, or be quiet and don't let the door hit you as leave. It's that simple.
It’s always been torsen system, haldex was only introduced in the 8l s3 and mk4 golf r32. At least have a Google first…
I agree it’s the only one I’d have. Apart from an R8 v8.
Just get an M3 way better in every way.
And if you upgrade your 1 series to an m135i or M140i it would whoop that Rs4 most of the time ;)
Guy with stubble isn’t to bad presenter. This does feel a bit overdrive 👀
The new owners of the channel, apparently have cut budgets by a lot, also not willing to listen to other ideas. Could be the start of the end for CT.
Seems like a decent guy. I just doze off at German supersaloons now. The original TG trio did them to death. I would have said this if it was Alex or anyone else presenting.
Grey estate is perfect spec for me
Smoke this ina diesel
Subscribed Your a funny guy and know your shit !!! 🤣 U made me smile :-) .Just took my b7 rs4 out for a a nice spirited ride was Epic as usual . Love m3 m4 but would never trade my baby for anything special ❤️ machine!!! Have a great day Brother GET 1
Lets be honest, everything ended when Alex went away, Ethans "noncar" guy who did more mechanical stuff than some beginner car mechanics got old years ago.
Geez Alex, that intro sounds like you had fun with an Only Fans video!
P.S How many times did the CT editing team use the RS4 footage hitting that puddle spraying water onto that hedge? It was done to death! Get creative filming & editing team!
I'm not really into that genre of cars, but I think if I had to pick one, the RS4 would be the obvious choice.
Not for me anymore shame been watching this channel for a very long time
1 series!! Proper fanboi😂
Alex you did make me laugh in this video.
“I’m a BMW fan boy”.. BMW this.. BMW that.
Drives a boggo 1 Series.
No hate, it just made me chuckle.
Time to drive the B9 RS6 Avant. Enjoy.....
Ill see how tje new boys do
Yep, gave it a shot and just nope. I'm following Jack, Ethan and Edwin.
