We love writing about the latest and greatest metal here at Auto Express, but nothing conveys the ferocity of a supercar or the serenity of a luxury EV quite like a beautifully filmed video. On our YouTube channel, we cover all corners of motoring with expert reviews, track battles and walkarounds each week, with a 530,000 subscriber base. 

Our audience has watched more than 10 million hours of Auto Express content since the channel's inception, so it seems you enjoy our videos just as much as we do producing them. The most popular Auto Express films have racked up millions of views, and include super bike and sports car twin tests, family car reviews and even a rendezvous with a certain quietly spoken Finnish Formula 1 driver. We've collated a list of our best ever car videos below, ranked in order of total views.
