The channel posts many kinds of videos, related to vehicles (mostly cars). Car Throttle's most popular video is "10 Times Stupid People Got Punished In The Best Way", which has almost 7.5 million views, as of December 2019. The channel rose to fame with comedy sketches about cars, such as the series 2 Guys 1 Car and car reviews.

==History== 
*The channel was originally founded by Adnan Ebrahim, who does not feature in videos anymore. He has said "These days I spend my time growing the company, discussing partnerships with brands, promoting synergies, and driving a modified Nissan GT-R with a stupid wing on it."
*The oldest video currently up on the channel is "2011 Volvo S60 R-Design: Car Throttle Review".
*The channel's most popular video is "10 Times Stupid People Got Punished In The Best Way".
*Alex Kersten has since parted ways from Car Throttle, leading to him making his very own YouTube channel.
==Cars==
It is unsure exactly what cars they keep, since they make many videos buying cars on a budget and testing cars. The cars that are often featured are:
*A red Mazda MX-5 called Phil (owned by Alex Kersten)
*A chrome purple wrapped Suzuki Wagon R Plus (Owned by Ethan Smale).
*A blue Skoda Octavia named Miles.
* Jack used to own a Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk5, but it was hit by a truck, causing it to most likely be written off and never driven (by him at least) again. The incident coincidentally also involved Ellie Goulding as a witness, more explained here.
