The Best Automotive YouTube Channels to Watch in 2026

If our recent guide to the best automotive podcasts was about finding depth in long-form listening, then this is its natural companion piece: it’s a guide to the best automotive YouTube channels for supercar enthusiasts that we think are actually worth watching. 

Let’s face it. The automotive corner of YouTube is vast to the point of being genuinely overwhelming. There are thousands of channels available, so what we have tried to do here is cut through the clutter and feature the channels that are truly worth your time.

Rather than rank them, we have organised them by what each channel does best. Think of it less as a list and more as a directory. This way, you can find the right kind of YouTube channel for exactly what you are looking for.

Romans International Recommends…  

Best YouTube Channel for New Car Reviews: Throttle House

Channel Focus: New performance car launches, test drives and honest reviews

Thomas and James have built Throttle House into one of the most respected new car review channels on the platform - and for good reason. Their production values are exceptional, but the real difference here is that they actually drive the cars…  

Reviews are conducted on track, on back roads, and in conditions that test the car rather than simply showcase it. For staying current with the performance car landscape, we think Throttle House is the benchmark.

Watch Throttle House Here

Why We Rate It:

The combination of production quality, genuine driving ability, and an independent editorial voice makes this one of the most trustworthy new-car review channels available to watch on YouTube.

Best YouTube Channel for Drag Races: Carwow

Channel Focus: Side-by-side performance testing, new car reviews, and buyer guides

Carwow has become synonymous with the drag race format - and it has earned that position through sheer consistency and an understanding of what makes that format compelling. 

The YouTube channel tests cars people actually want to see tested, with results that frequently surprise viewers. Beyond the drags, the wider review content is well-produced and genuinely useful for anyone making a purchase decision.

Watch Carwow Here

Why We Rate It:

We think that nobody else does the drag race format better. Plus, the broader content is more commercially intelligent than it is often given credit for.

Best YouTube Channel for Track Driving: Chris Harris on Cars

Channel Focus: High-performance driving, road tests, and an honest perspective on cars

Let’s face it, Chris Harris is the benchmark. His YouTube channel is the audio-visual equivalent of a great road test - it is technically precise, experientially rich and always with something genuinely interesting to say. 

Harris has driven virtually every significant performance car of the past three decades, and that depth of experience is evident in every video produced. There is no one better for understanding what a serious driver's car is actually like under pressure.

Watch Chris Harris on Cars Here

Why We Rate It:

We love Chris Harris’ unmatched driving ability, combined with an editorial instinct that has defined performance car journalism. It’s essential viewing for anyone serious about this end of the market.

Best YouTube Channel for Real-World Driving Reviews: Harry's Garage

Channel Focus: Long-term ownership advice, honest car assessments, and the experience of living with extraordinary vehicles

Harry Metcalfe's Harry's Garage is, in many respects, the antidote to the more theatrical end of automotive YouTube channels. His videos are calm, considered and built around the genuine experience of owning and using performance and collector cars over extended periods. 

We particularly like the coverage of his personal fleet, which has included everything from a Ferrari Daytona to a Porsche 918. 

Watch Harry's Garage Here

Why We Rate It:

For anyone considering a serious purchase, Harry's personal experience and honest assessments offer exactly the kind of insight that short-form social media reviews cannot.

Best YouTube Channel for Concept Cars & Future Tech: Supercar Blondie

Channel Focus: New car reveals, concept vehicles, and technical developments

Supercar Blondie's Alex Hirschi has established an altogether more unique position in the automotive YouTube space. Broadcasting to an international audience, she has access to the most significant global new car reveals.

We think the channel is at its best when covering concept cars and what’s to come from the world's leading manufacturers.

Watch Supercar Blondie Here

Why We Rate It:

Alex’s presentation style makes more complex technical content broadly accessible to all.

Best YouTube Channel for Quirks & Features: Doug DeMuro

Channel Focus: Detailed vehicle walkarounds, unusual features, and the finer points of extraordinary cars

Doug DeMuro has created a format that is hard to replicate. We love his exhaustive, enthusiastic walkthrough of every unusual, interesting and occasionally baffling feature on a car that deserves attention. 

DeMuro’s coverage of rare, unusual and collectable machinery has made him a must-watch YouTube channel for the collector and enthusiast community.

Watch Doug DeMuro Here

Why We Rate It:

Nobody covers the detail and specificity of interesting cars quite like Doug. The catalogue of covered vehicles alone makes the channel an exceptional reference resource.

Best YouTube Channel for Automotive Investigations: Mark McCann

Channel Focus: In-depth automotive investigations, ownership stories, and honest industry discussion

Mark McCann has carved out a distinctive niche in the market: it’s the kind of long-form automotive investigation that most channels are either unwilling or unable to undertake. 

Because of the topics covered, his videos frequently run well past the standard YouTube runtime because the subject matter demands it. But investing the time into Mark’s episodes is more than worth it. 

Watch Mark McCann Here

Why We Rate It:

The editorial independence and willingness to follow a story wherever it leads make McCann’s content one of the most interesting channels in the UK automotive space. 

Best YouTube Channel for Community & Driving Culture:| Supercar Driver

Channel Focus: Supercar events, driving culture, and the community around high-performance cars

Supercar Driver captures something that many other YouTube channels miss: the culture and community that exists around serious performance cars. 

The channel's event coverage, run-outs and owner-focused content reflect the reality of how these cars are used and enjoyed by real enthusiasts. It is a warm, community-driven watch with an authentic connection to its audience.

Watch Supercar Driver Here

Why We Rate It: 

The community angle established by Supercar Driver is genuinely distinctive, and the channel reflects a side of supercar ownership that is often underrepresented in more editorial-focused content.

Best YouTube Channel for Rebuilds & Restorations: Mat Armstrong

Channel Focus: Salvage car purchases, rebuilds, and the detailed process of bringing damaged cars back to life

Mat Armstrong's rebuild content on his YouTube channel follows a really interesting format: he buys a significantly damaged performance or supercar, documents the entire restoration process in granular detail, and sees what emerges at the end. 

We particularly like the transparency around costs, processes and outcomes, which makes for genuinely informative viewing.

Watch Mat Armstrong Here

Why We Rate It:

The subject matter (which regularly features McLarens, Lamborghinis and other significant machinery) keeps it firmly within the market that matters to us, elevating the channel well above most in the space. 

Best YouTube Channel for Model & Spec Insight: Romans International

Channel Focus: Expert buying advice, detailed model guides, and honest insight from one of the UK's leading supercar specialists

Well, it would be remiss of us not to mention our own! The Romans International YouTube channel is built around the kind of specialist knowledge that comes from handling, selling and advising on performance and collector cars at the highest level for over forty years. 

From detailed model comparisons to buying guides and stock walkarounds, it is the kind of content we would want to watch ourselves. 

Watch Romans International Here

Why We Rate It:

We provide independent market knowledge, genuine specialist access, and content built for supercar buyers who are serious about making the right decision.

Best YouTube Channel for Storytelling & Heritage: Petrolicious

Channel Focus: Short films celebrating automotive heritage, design history, and the stories behind significant cars

Petrolicious beautifully produces short films that celebrate the stories behind important cars and the people who own them. 

The production values are cinematic, the subject matter is carefully chosen, and the overall tone is one of genuine reverence for automotive heritage. For a different pace and perspective, we think it is one of the most distinctive YouTube channels on the platform.

Watch Petrolicious Here

Why We Rate It:

The filmmaking quality alone makes this worth following, but it is the depth of storytelling and the quality of the cars featured that make it a truly memorable watch.

Best YouTube Channel for Access to Rare Cars & Collections: Shmee150

Channel Focus: Supercar ownership, major automotive events, and access to some of the world's best car collections

Tim Burton's Shmee150 channel has (for over nearly two decades) built a video platform that provides consistent access to the most significant cars, major global events, and the kind of collector-level content that enthusiasts will relish. 

The personal collection content, in particular, gives Burton’s YouTube channel a first-hand authenticity that is difficult to replicate.

Watch Shmee150 Here

Why We Rate It: 

The access and consistency over such a long period of time have made Shmee150 an important part of contemporary supercar culture, with genuine collector content at its core.

Best YouTube Channel for Car Customisation: Yiannimize

Channel Focus: High-end vehicle customisation, wrapping, and the culture around luxury and performance cars

Yiannimize has built one of the most recognisable brands in the UK performance car customisation space, and his YouTube channel reflects that prominent position. 

Video coverage spans the full spectrum of supercar personalisation - from full wraps on significant hypercars to the decision-making process behind major modifications - with an audience that skews firmly towards serious performance car ownership.

Watch Yiannimize Here

Why We Rate It: 

For anyone considering customisation at the top end of the market, the Yiannimize YouTube channel offers a direct window into the process and the results.

Best YouTube Channel for Niche Collectors: ISSIMI Official

Channel Focus: Rare, investment-grade, and historically significant collector cars

ISSIMI is a YouTube channel focused specifically on the kind of rare, historically significant and investment-grade cars that define the top of the collector market. 

The content is carefully produced, and the subject matter is consistently extraordinary. Expect to see racing heritage, limited-production exotica, and cars that appear in virtually no other YouTube content.

Watch ISSIMI Official Here

Why We Rate It:

For the genuine collector end of the market, ISSIMI provides content that is simply not available elsewhere. It is niche by design and a significant watch because of it.

Best YouTube Channel for Lifestyle & Enthusiast Perspective: Seen Through Glass

Channel Focus: Supercar ownership, buyer's guides, and an honest perspective on the performance car world

Sam Fane's Seen Through Glass has established itself as one of the most intelligent lifestyle-led supercar YouTube channels in the UK. 

Sam approaches the subject with the curiosity of a journalist and the enthusiasm of a genuine enthusiast, and the result is content that manages to be both aspirational and grounded at the same time. 

Watch Seen Through Glass Here

Why We Rate It:

The balance between lifestyle content and genuine substance is perfectly struck here. We think the ownership-focused content in particular is well-considered and genuinely useful.

Best YouTube Channel for The Car Nerd - The Late Brake Show

Channel Focus: Industry analysis, honest editorial opinion, and an intellectual approach to performance car culture

Jonny Smith's Late Brake Show translates some of the same qualities that make his podcast so compelling into a visual video format.

His YouTube channel is one of the more analytically rigorous on the platform, and consistently worth watching for anyone who wants to understand the market as well as simply enjoy it.

Watch The Late Brake Show Here

Why We Rate It:

For the thinking enthusiast, Jonny Smith's combination of industry access and genuine editorial independence makes this one of the most valuable YouTube channels to watch in the UK automotive space.
