The Fastest Hot Hatch on Nürburgring? | Seat Leon Cupra by xThilox

[@robertocalvo934]

You know a guy's is a pro when he has the circuit card attached to a fly swatter. Respeck

[@brentpowell7889]

Just shows what can be achieved, you don’t need a super car to go mega fast around the Nordschleife, great lap 👍

[@srdjanvideos]

yes but you need supercar money, all of these upgrades aren't cheap, they are best of the best. And Thilo definitely isn't an average driver. That doesn't mean that you can get a Clio and send it thinking it would perform like this Cupra.

[@blacov89]

@@srdjanvideos No doubt. This heavily track modified hot hatch and Thilo must have spent thounsand of hours on the track. On the other hand car consumables must be costing a small fortune. Well driven as usual. This looked probably like one of the fastest fwd cars lap.

[@Master321v]

@@blacov89 and what is incredibel...the car still running..no matter how much modified...it is running and still in 1 piece!!! 😀 Thilo! How many km in the Cupra?!

[@onehorsepower]

@@srdjanvideos true, in a different perspective, supercar money won't be enough to run a supercar on the ring as often as this ;) So this is probably still the 'cheapest' way to drive this fast by a good stretch, I know of quite a few e.g. GT3RS owners that do most of their track miles in a hot hatch like this.... Same is true for proper (and safe) road driving, you can do most of the speed possible with a good (modified) hot hatch/estate...

[@brentpowell7889]

@@srdjanvideos Here what you are saying, and I own a 600LT brent.powell.37695 , and visited they ring in August this year, my 2nd visit, had some tuition with Luis from Apex , fast lap with Robert in the 620 R. The point I am making is the 600 LT, costs way more than the Cupra even with all the upgrades, the insurance excess is16k on mine , if I bin it , plus all the costs repairing barriers , recovery etc ,so you are always mindful that if you run out of talent it’s going to be very expensive,to extract the best out of the 600LT you need right up there interns of knowledge and experience especially at the Nordschleife. You can have as much enjoyment in a car costing far less. Took a fast lap in M3 E92, upgraded breaks suspension, and cup 2 tyres , it was brilliant total cost 40k. It’s eat to deploy extract 421bhp than 600bhp in the track.

Yeah this guy is a bit of a local legend! People always trying to keep up with him! (Unsuccessfully) .... including me 😂😆🙈 His car is a f**king missile! I dont give a shit what you own... you dont stand a f**king chance! 😂😆👍 Huge respect though as he's a great guy! Car is incredible! 👌👍

There just is that point at which more power won't make you go around the track much faster.

A missile driven flat and smooth for sure !

[@xthilox]

haha thank you very much for this kind feedback! Of course i love to bring you guys some "nürburgring feeling" in all parts of the world. thats so cool to get feedback from everywhere! I would not say No to a GT3 RS .. but as the main goal is to have fun, its not needed :9 so thats why i love this "underdog" vehicle :-D

[@xthilox]

@@daszieher yeah thats so true .. its all about the performance .. and more power would make me much slower :)

[@jankees4037]

@@xthilox That is why these race BMW M3's are so popular. It's the perfect package of midsized car, good horsepower, and awesome handling. That makes heaps fun and is serious fast around the ring.

He makes it look easy ! Friendly driver to. Even if you slow him down in a corner, he will still thank you for moving over. He has passed me more than a few times so i know this :D Lovely stuff misha !

Misha, I’ve been a Thilo fan a little longer than I’ve been of yours. Thank you for riding with him and showing your fans one of the best drivers around the ring. We finally see what he looks like! For all you Misha only fans, Thilo is merciless out there and regularly sticks it to higher end cars.

[@DisasterFixion]

Woooop finally! Big fan of Thilo, he makes it look so easy. Very fast and well behaved driver. Thanks both! 🏎️💥

[@williambaker90]

This car is Amazing, And it shows that it DOESN'T need to be loud to be FAST..............Silent but deadly.........

[@papakyriakouandreas]

My fave Thilo videos are when he gives rides to guys who have never been before, the guy who took his moped from S Korea, and a Spanish guy maybe? Seems like a really nice dude!

[@xthilox]

yes!! those meeting were really outstanding .. this guy came all the way from south korea with a moped .. thats such a unique story!! i had to give him a ride :)

Oh, finally, it happended :D Been watching his uploads for some time now, he reaaly deserve to be on your channel. So fast, se respectfull and so fun to watch. Just a note, i'm used to watch the laps on his channel, with data logging on screen (incl gps speed). Here it is missing, so I had a look at the speedo. That is WAY OFF. It shows +240 on foxhole f.ex, that's 20 or so more than the gps speed on his own channel. Thx Misha and Thilo for the great content.

The inboard camera angles/vibrations, it appears as though the vehicle is very bouncy which from My p.o.v.; doesn't seem to settle with a 1 up 1 down control from the suspension take inspires confidence. Cheer's from East Van. B.C., Canada 🇨🇦

SEAT was in the last years always a good choice for the money, when you want a sporty Hatchback. The setup for the base car is also done by Jordi Gene - brother of Marc Gene - and he does really a good job. With all that nice goodies build into this version that should be a really good performing car. ... as we can see in that video of course.

Cool about the smaller discs at the rear. Always wondered about that because front drives have so much weight up front that the back wheels are barely touching the ground in heavy braking. Less weight too.
