Chris Harris Drives The Subaru Huckster. 862 HP 4WD MONSTER!

"Absolutely remarkable!" - Chris Harris
You've seen it on KZbin, you've seen it fire up the hill at Goodwood, today Subaru is letting Chris Harris have a go in the Huckster.
With an incredible 862hp from its 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine (that's 375hp per litre!), the Huckster will make short work of any tyres you may choose to sacrifice on the altar of the four-wheel-burnout gods.

I’m seriously impressed with Frankie Boyles technical abilities.

[@ChopperMeir]

😂😂😂

[@adogmcdizzle]

His comedy career isn’t what it once was.

[@timsaxon5825]

Hilarious

[@woodwardmotors6758]

👌

[@anyexpat]

Its not Frankie Boyle, it is Frankie Boyles American Cousin

[@brianrainey2739]

Well, that was about 1 hour too short! 😂 We need Chris and Travis together on this….maybe at Hoonigan HQ or Nitro Circus base camp. Unleash the Fun!

[@vihreelinja4743]

We need Clarkson Sitting in the passenger side while Travis slides it around a track.

[@Malc180s]

We need less Travis for sure

[@stickvortex]

@@Malc180sWhy less? Wtf

[@Malc180s]

@@stickvortex he's boring

[@oxfordsparky]

@@Malc180swe need travis driving and Chris in the passenger seat shitting himself.

[@10Tenths]

Forget all the multi-million dollar hypercar nonsense. This is the kind of stuff that gets Chris out of bed in the morning!

[@vihreelinja4743]

Super car is what you buy for that big titted blond you bought from miami. And this monster Subaru is what you dream of to be driving when you are under the blond :D

[@bokiNYC]

Agree 100%! 👍

[@Fastvoice]

Don't expect it to be less expensive than the multi-million hypercars.

[@AdamB8791]

@@Fastvoicebut this is unique and used. The nonsense HyperCars are more or less all the same/trailer queens

[@benbirch2393]

Hmmm I'm not so sure

[@kevinjoel7606]

God that digital dash is a piece of art.

[@Outland9000]

It is really nice isn't it!

[@GarethNewman]

That's the dash of the future I want.

[@Outland9000]

I like the retro-futurism look of it.

[@jgreenjeans]

10:28 the drone operator ought to be proud of this shot! I'm trying to figure out how they timed that.

[@thecinecloud]

A mix of practice and seeing how hard Chris will send it 😅

[@fizmo100]

I came to call out the exact same timestamp. That shot was a little gem, it kept developing when you thought it must have finished - some seriously impressive flying and timing there.

[@robinclaidlaw]

The drones are faster than one might imagine, and have fearsome acceleration so the drone operator has at least some margin to intercept the moving car. There’s still a massive amount of skill needed but he can speed up or slow as required to get meet the car where he wants to.

[@SnakeyUk08]

Just thinking that myself near end of video where the drone flys in off track and follows Chris that was epic! 🤗😎👌

[@AyaxRo]

I'm so glad we still get to see Chris doing his thing after all these years. I was worried the TG gig would fizzle this out... Nope. The man loves his craft and I'm here for it. Thank you!

[@MatthewGaither]

The Huckster is the automotive expression of pure, unbridled joy in hooning. How can you not love that?

[@declanbeard7078]

Absolute masterpiece 🤯😍

[@bradcarpenter1881]

Absolutely love this! Hope we see more Chris Harris driving unique and badass cars, combined with educational documentary giving us a closer look into the design and build.

[@SmallBlogV8]

Watching Travis pitch this thing into the penultimate corner at FOS was just beautiful. At full-send speed, it pinged instantly and precisely into the smoothest four-wheel drift, just blowing air onto the straw bales on the inside and then he gathered it up and went onto set a really impressive time. What a wonderful blend of cartoon character and engineering substance.

[@elliotsimpson1148]

It’s mad to think it’s not even really his day job. The guy is just too bloody talented.

[@hofahome]

You should be a writer

[@C.Fecteau-AU-MJ13]

Travis Pastrana absolutely spanked that thing at Goodwood... To put it so far up the leaderboard was insane! The textbook definition of sending it, the man's a beast.

[@neilr4867]

Probably the most talented man in motorsport. Champion motocross rider, FMX God, Rally driver extraordinaire. He's fast in or on anything.

[@ConnorHammond]

@@neilr4867 Best extreme sport athlete ever!

[@ViperKillerWannabe]

I don't care about the timed shootout. He won that day.

[@dub2459]

Yeah you gotta respect Travis and his skills because he drives that thing flat out like a mad man.

[@henrikolsen5]

I very much appreciate Dan's calm and collected voice and speed. Much to be learned here for many youtubers. So nice. Love it.

[@Lou-f]

That cage is outrageous

[@danfuller4850]

Chris, you and your crew are so good at establishing the people who represent the cars as experts, and then respecting their expertise. My appreciation for the thinking behind the cars has grown so much in the years I’ve watched you.

[@Zanpaa]

Absolutely love the silly active aero. This car looks amazing. Built for a purpose, and it's to look cool on camera! Thanks for this video

[@piperhound]

However many times i watch this car it always looks like a Delta s4 estate 😂

[@laurensnieuwland4657]

Except I actually think it looks better. I love the square headlights!

[@buddylee19082]

I have so much more respect for Travis AND Ken now... When you hear someone like Chris Harris reacting to a vehicle in this way, knowing the wealth of his experience and expertise, it really makes you appreciate and respect the skill of the men who drive them. Awesome vid.

[@shopvice]

In highschool I owned a tuned 83 GL wagon that was a bit of a sleeper (for it's time). I drove the snot out of that thing to the ski hill every weekend. That thing just ate tie rod ends and ball joints from jumping it. The Huckster is childhood memories x100. Such a cool car.

[@AlexEntirely]

CH's no-BS reviews are exactly what the world of car review/petrolheadery needs. He's carried TopGear since the main trio left, a complete package, presenter and Stig. BBC need to step up or Amazon need to fix this for the sake of planet Earth.

[@MikeSmith-wb4dm]

This excited my 8yo ASC child beyond belief. They have shown little interest in cars, and now binged a bunch Gymkhanas. Thank you.

[@01FozzyS]

VSC absolutely always kills it with their builds. The Huckster is their ultimate yet so far.

[@dejanzelko8361]

Chris Harris + great car = Great fun 😊

[@impslap7620]

What an absolute beast of a machine. I can't fathom how some at Subaru supported this build yet, they won't build an STI WRX.

[@edwardmylnychuk5774]

WOW WOW AND MORE WOW, 862 HP OUT OF A TINY ENGINE LIKE THAT IS INSANE.

[@phil7301]

There's a little bit of Lancia Delta S4 group b about it 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@jtjt3823]

Watching Chris being timid makes Travis so much more impressive

[@jontucker7494]

11:19 literally had me laughing out loud. I first saw this car at Goodwood 2022 and it just BLEW. MY. MIND!!!

[@VS666]

awesome video! i've been seeing this car around a lot obviously but this is the first in depth i've watched. that's truly insane, 860hp at 8500RPM! that's insane for a flat motor! the guy giving all the technical info has a great disposition too it's a nice change of pace to not have someone screaming in your face haha

[@cybertree]

Right? That's sorcery to get 862 from a flat 4 boxer, I'm curious how they made that happen!

[@crxtodd16]

This an absolute masterpiece of a car. Outstanding!

[@automotivetales]

This is KZbin gold! This is what we came here to see. Top gear might be on pause / over what ever… but Chris remains the king of car reviews. This is like the bit of top gear we actually watched for! Yes yes yes and for good measure… yes! 💪🏻

[@038Dude]

Cars like this always make me think of Ken, man I miss that guy.

[@DopravniPoradce]

I've never before seen this car. And it's bloody amazing. Not only the car but Chris Harris way of driving it too. So awesome.

[@markmcgrath9098]

The video editing detracts from actually seeing what the car is doing on the tracks. Constant cutting to the grill badge, exhaust and the drone tracking shots are all TG standard stuff I guess but you just can’t follow how the car is doing it’s thing. Loved hearing the info stuff.

[@fobbitoperator3620]

That drone they used to record the laps must be some sort of alien-tech hybrid, with the speed & turning abilities!

[@thecinecloud]

We can confirm it is indeed alien-tech

[@lrnasigo1]

In 1984, my first car was an 81’ GL Coupe. Crazy to see this beast come out of a vehicle that started life with 73hp

[@juliantaffa4089]

It now has over 11 times that much power lmao

[@florian_montuzet]

The guys at Vermont sports car know how to build monsters.

[@fn2mike210]

He may not claim to be a racing driver, but his tillermanship is very impressive 👌

[@AntiVaganza]

Isn't he a proper, full blooded GT3 Le Mans racing driver...? I mean, dad bod and all, he may not look the part right now;)

[@mmrahman82]

Only ever had a mild interest in the hoonigan cars and not much more tbh, but the Huckster for me it's absolutely pure bliss. The 80's blocky design with its equally blocky over flared wheel arch and the active aero. There's something about this car that brings out the kid in me who loved watching Knight Rider and Street Hawk.

[@bobbymoss6160]

The active aero panels are crazy!

[@dodge6621]

As an American, I would love to see Chris on the face of the $100 bill, and on the 100 pound note as well.

[@adversarysti8406]

that launch sound with the gear whine was so good

[@nimish2073]

For context. This car beat time taken by McLaren Solus GT and Rimac Navera at Goodwood hill climb..

[@sundown6436]

That car looks so much like the Delta S4! Amazing

[@gmangoodtime9505]

That looks really fun to drive

An absolute beast of a car built for the sole purpose of completely shredding the rear tyres as quickly as possible!!! Gotta love it 🤣🤣

[@GetaDomTune]

I released the first 2.3 over 15 years ago and I'm glad to see it finally catching on.

[@andrewdrednaught]

What a vehicle! Thanks, Chris!

Just yes! I can't express how happy I am that this vehicle exists! 😍

Super cool to see Chris enjoy this special super car Gives you incredible extra respect for how awesome Travis is behind the wheel He and Ken were like Eddie Van Halen and Steve Vai both masters with each a unique Style

When Clarkson or Harris says "what a thing!" 🥰

[@ruthun]

Nice drone shots! Epic

[@Borntoride125]

Man, I’ve been watching Chris since he was getting the MP4-12C sideways back when I was in highschool. Still top notch.

[@boahnation9932]

Great video. Thanks to all involved :)

[@noahbirdrevolution]

I learned to drive in a GL. The only thing fast with that thing was how fast the CV joints wore out. lol

[@technicalscience]

Those drone shots are nice. What an animal that car is!

[@dimiper9393]

Fantastic bit of kit!! Travis should have been part of this test drive and given Chris a couple of hot laps!!

[@guillaumesandmayer7053]

Probably one of, if not, the young ones favourite at Goodwood. Bonkers goodness.

[@Chazillor]

Very cool. Maybe I'm miserable but the drone work was nauseating, prefer just some nice track side angles personally.

[@timmason5230]

Thanks Chris!

[@iainjackson5107]

That’s one hell of a set of clever guys. Hats off to them

[@SweetSpotGuitar]

The drone shot at 2:02...😱

[@bigbird2451]

I do love that car. Its shape is very similar to a '91 VW Fox Wagon that I used to have. It had track ready brakes and suspension and bucket seats with four point harnesses. The engine was totally stock but I'd wind the hell out of it and use controlled understeer to absolutely rule all corners. It was the most fun going up hills. But going down I could beat any car on the road, stock engine and all. Many a Porsche gave up all hope on the roads down from Bonny Doon.

[@grocerygrip]

To say that this car loves to rotate is an understatement

[@40spinup]

Loved this.
