That Jannarelly engine/exhaust note is just intoxicating and I can't imagine ever getting tired revving that thing to redline. I also love the 50s/60s era design. Just the perfect car for British B roads or canyon carving here in LA.

[@lovecarsTV]

[@joaoluistavares6046]

The KTM X-Bow is really cool. I see it as a track car. But not with too much tech. Only enough for a great driving experience. But I love the Jannarelly. That V6, that gearbox. I thought exactly what Tiff Needell said and did. Elbow over the door, relaxing and just cruising. Then sometimes hitting that gas pedal...it's the fusion "men-mashine".

[@lovecarsTV]

Yeah I think that suns the two up nicely 🙂

[@bobspeller2225]

A great story Tiff, lovely presentation and brings back memories for us all. Cheers Bob

[@marcnobel3938]

Great Video again! Two Track-Weapons with a totally different approach but at the same time, they are so similar when you look at the weight and power. - It was really great to see how you worked out the differences. Wunderbar!

[@lovecarsTV]

Thank you Marc!

[@NafaratMiyaMiya]

I can't get enough of Tiff ... what a legend!

[@nevillebowman8419]

It seems the current trend is for reviewers to say "it only has 300hp but it's still nice". Reality is, anything over 300hp is redundant unless you have a race track to access. Same with ultrafast gear shifts. Some manufacturers get it, driving should be fun (if you care about actual driving). It's way more fun and challenging to wring 100% out of a decent car with a proper 3 pedal transmission and good handling, than to sit at 40% in any given M car or similar.

[@trisbonky]

Absolutely spot on.

[@DaxXx988]

[@shogunero3.6]

Well said. 100% agreed.

[@DerSnipOr]

There is a big difference between a regular high HP car and a dedicated light weight sports car. But most people want to have their performance car every day. So I get that Maddy go for the hot hatches. My car is also sleeping most time of the year in my garage - daily driving such a car - even in the winter is just, let's say: a 'special' experience, I am not sure I world like to make...

[@DimitarYanev87]

That was one of the most ad packed videos I've ever watched on KZbin.

[@allensaunders449]

The X-bow probably compares more to the bac Mano philosophy wise. I enjoy both of these

[@jimmyhallatt]

I'd have to have the Jannarelly! That noise towers over everything else! Incredible soundtrack!

Another entertaining video guys, I'll take the KTM X-Bow thanks. It's both outlandish and thrilling.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks Roger and you are not wrong there!

Janarelly it is for me. I've heard some other reviews say it has the Nissan 350z engine in it. You guys didn't mention that.

[@jeffmeyer3600]

Who needs a radio when that Jannarelly sings sweeter than the first robin in spring? I would drive around in the upper revs of that car all day.

[@SteveSmith1968]

I love the way that Tim goes all Italian in the Jannarelly, when it's a car from Dubai, with a French name! Ha Ha They are two totally different cars in thier own way - it would be good to see them both on the track together, where the KTM was clearly designed for, whereas the Janarelly seems more of a weekend road car.

[@DerSnipOr]

Looked exactly for that comment. G Funny way to present a dubai/french car. :D

[@ERJOL]

Both look amazing

[@lovecarsTV]

🙂

[@ridgmont61]

It would be interesting to see these on a track - until then can’t decide.

[@simondale3980]

I agree, for most cars I don't really care what there track performance is like, but for these 2 it would have been interesting. It would seem the Jannarelly is not really a track car where the crossbow is. I don't think you would buy a crossbow to just drive it on the road.

[@lukejackson4368]

Very well done, possibly the best @Lovecars videos I've seen yet! Enjoyed it, even though I'm not a fan of either car really. If I've got to have one, the Jannarelly. Never been a fan of the X-bow. Would rather have an Ariel Atom. The BAC mono may be twice the price, but worth it. And what about a (used) Lotus 3-eleven?!?! V6, open top, serious track toy. For a non GB car, how many used 911 GT3's are out there for the same money? Manual and n/a is great, but the Jannarelly just doesn't really do it for me. Morgan have been making cars that look like they're from the 60's (or before...) since the 60's. Or for £100k go and get a genuine classic! Or build/buy a restomod that means something to you. Like the video, just not the cars. How about doing a new vs used comparison video? First idea popped into my head was new 911 Turbo was old 911 turbo - a top 930, 964 or 993 are all gonna be similar to 992 money.

[@lovecarsTV]

Thanks for the kind words and the feedback. We’ll look at the new vs used idea 👍🏻

[@EA40]

£30.000 for an automatic in the Jannarelly?? Lol I think they priced it like that because deep down they don't want to sell an automatic. And I don't blame them. Not sure which one I'd prefer more. The Jannarelly sounds better and is probably the one I'd want to own for 10+ years. The KTM may almost seem too hi-tech. Hopefully they can bring the Jannarelly to the USA as a kit car.

[@nirfz]

Soundwise i would choose the Janarelly, lookswise the janarelly to me somehow is a mixture between a TVR and a Mazda MX5 "targa" and i am not sure if that would be the thing for me. Although i prefer the analog dials. For protection in case of an accident, i would choose the KTM, i also doubt that, at least in my country the Janarelly with it's noise level (and probably emissions) could get throught the technical approval testing to legally drive it where i live. (If it is a new car, it has to match Euro6 for emissions and it has to be less than 74dB of noise on a certain test in drive buy.) For patriotic reasons i would lean to the KTM, but if the Alpine had a manual gearbox and oldschool analog dials, i would immediately take that over both of them and save a lot of money for fuel, tires and brakes.

[@richboy900]

Hello, thanks for the video. If I may, when you have 2 cars like these, me as a viewer feels something is definitely missing when they are not driven on a race track and raced. You want the same viewership as carwow, you have to do some sort of racing besides the road review. Thanks

[@lovecarsTV]

Hi Mina, the reality of the situation is that a track test for these two cars would actually only add a very slight bit of viewership. Unfortunately no where near enough to help us pay for a track. Please do go and check out our M2 vs F-type video however, lots of smokey track action for you. 🙂

Why not name the VQ? It's a great engine; no need to awkwardly dance around calling it a 350Z engine...

I love what Jannarelly did, but to have their car tested by english testers on english roads ... As far as I know, the W number plates "garage" (in french, license plate for professionals/prototype) do not allow the loan and even less the circulation in another European country...Time to pass the IVA, guys....Without ABS, ESP, airbags, Euro 6c, engine noise well above 74dB, it will be hard to pass the RTi ( french IVA much more expensive and restricted)

[@ruttboy]

Actually, the car is fully IVA approved and it is only due to the ongoing COVID delay with the DVSA that has stopped the UK plates being issued. RHD cars, fully IVA approved are now being delivered.

[@SETHalpine]

@@ruttboy Good news for them. Using two different cars with the same licence W plate overseas wasn't very good ;)

The story about Willhelm Tell was written by a German and we Swiss decided to see this mythological figure as our national hero. I think the Austrians were the bad guys in this whole story. Maybe I am confused about everything.

[@nirfz]

What you wrote doesn't look much like confusion to me. Only thing is, that at the time the story takes place Rudolph I was the ruling Habsburg, and while he was born in todays germany (around Speyer), his parents were swiss. So basically the "bad guy" who's vasalles installed the bad guy in the story (Reichsvogt) can be considered swiss, as can the bad guy himself.

[@sixpotshot]

Same problem as Lotus: too much money for the exclusivity and for what they really are at the end of the day. I would chose a Porsche any time I am sorry even if I dearly love the Jannarelly (much more than the KTM) - to compete with Porsche these guys need to undercut it (at least) in price otherwise they will never get past small series approved numbers which is probably the reward who pays (with their hearts and brainless pockets) for the exclusivity deserves...

[@lovecarsTV]

Interesting points but I think this is a very different proposition to an equivalent porsche with only really the price poi t linking them. However I can certainly see the appeal over the Janarelly and vice versa. But the Porsche will certainly appeal to a wider audience without question as it will tick more boxes for more people.
