Are V8 Engines Dead?

Рет қаралды 24,908

Ай бұрын

With EVs taking over, ever-stringent emissions regulations and a war on the car in general, are we in the dying days of the V8? Matt and Alex discuss all things eight cylinders while, appropriately, driving the new V8-powered Audi RS7.

Lads presenting, well done. The criticsm and lack of views is not because of you. You've been assigned an impossible task. CarThrottle management, YOU fucked this channel royally.

@Mr52239 Ай бұрын

Has to be said 👏🏻

@TheWahab2002 Ай бұрын

I'm glad the views have tanked. I hope the higher ups realise how bad they fucked up, but, to be honest, the only thing that would make me subscribe again is if the company was bought out or a lot of higher ups got replaced

@Iphone-vx3ps Ай бұрын

15k views in a day for a channel with 3 million subscribers is not good rip car throttle

@tobymartins3958 Ай бұрын

Each video since Jack and Ethan left has got less and less views, it shows the higher ups at CT that this channel owed it success to all the lads who left, and they should have supported them rather then trying to limit them

I have a Charger R/T 5.7. Is it sophisticated? No. Is it light? Nope. Fuel efficient? Not really. Are there faster V8s out there? Yep. So why do I drive the damn thing daily? It's loud. It's dumb. It's bright blue. And the torque kicks like a mule. Cars are about stats now instead of how they make you feel, and that's a bit sad honestly, because every time I cold start my car I start grinning like a dumbass. You can't replace that feeling with a "quicker" car.

@teinspringz Ай бұрын

The general rule of thumb is every 10 years the car industry drops 2 cylinders in their supercars, to keep the petroleum comsumption stable but fair to the producers. Eventually it will be 4 cylinders and the price of petrol will be 15x the price we pay now.

One day the boring haters will stop leaving comments and actually unsubscribe like they say - that day can’t come soon enough. Fair enough if you don’t like the channel, but just move on. Some of us will continue watching this, just as we watch Alex, TDC and All the Gear. Those guys were great, but some of us are prepared to give this ‘new’ show a chance. They seem to be doing fine at the moment. The world needs less hate - if you don’t like the show now, simply stop watching.

@Mr52239 Ай бұрын

New owners of Car throttle have clearly said "Look channels going in new direction, no money, no budget" Just 2 guys and a camera. They thought they'd get the views with out spending no money, now they got no viewers, no channel, no content, no host any significant amount of people will bother to watch. I believe this is why so many people are bothered by the way the channel has been handled by new owners

Government mandates are doing their best to put pressure for v8s to go away but for industrial trucks & equipment the V8 is still one of the best options out there.

@rkan2 Ай бұрын

Not really.. If you want your engine to last, you spec it according to the usual load, so that the engine is under a proper load instead of never heating up and getting a regen on the DPF. Therefore truck engines are also more often than not something else than V6/8...

@STERNWAERTS Ай бұрын

I doubt this channel will make it. This is no hate at all, but considering the amount of views lately and the fact that I haven't even really noticed these last couple of videos in my feed, I am not very optimistic. It will be hard to create content as entertaining and digestible as Auto Alex, TDC and ATG, which are basically the only car channels I am subscribed to.

8:22 eFuels simply will never be viable for an everyday car. The only market for eFuels is where electrification for a vehicle is not yet possible & classic cars for a bit of weekwnd driving. eFuels when burnt have exactly the same emissions as regular fuel. to make eFuels you use huge amounts of electricity hence the high cost. eFuels will NEVER be cheap enough to compete with BEV's as ICE engines are so inefficient compare to electric motors. Using electricity to produce e-Fuels (or hydrogen) is inefficient. It has and will always be more efficient and cheaper to charge a battery in a BEV............
