The show's format includes regular segments such as 'News Flash', where the hosts discuss recent developments in the automotive industry. 'Hot Lap' is another popular segment where Randy Pobst puts a car to the test on the legendary Willow Springs Raceway to see how it performs on the track. Another popular segment, 'Head 2 Head', is where two cars go head-to-head, and the hosts render their verdict on which car they prefer.

Wide Open Throttle isn't just about the latest and greatest cars. The show also explores the history of automobiles, both in America and around the world. 'The Downshift' is a segment that explores the history of automotive companies and how they have evolved over the years. The show also examines classic cars and provides in-depth reviews of vintage cars that continue to capture enthusiasts' imaginations throughout the world.

One of the unique features of the show is that the hosts aren't afraid to take a critical view of a car.
