VISITING KTM! X-Bow GT-XR Factory Tour and My First Drive

[@justinthomas2880]

THIS! Unless Mazda digs the Furai out of the ashes, this is the vehicle that I most want to see

[@mtnman1984]

I ran into one at SEMA last year and had no idea what it was at first. It was pretty well used too, so it had all that awesome post-race "seasoning".

[@bwatts27]

Love the Furai!

[@gyhany1105]

An amazing car! But you didn’t show us how you got out of it. At my age I can only dream about getting in one of those…literally!!!😂😂😂❤

went for a drive as passenger in this on a track a couple weeks ago . i was stunned by the absolute crazy amount of details in the car , the carbon , the handeling on the track , and so much more. i hope my friend who drove it buys one :)

never thought i would see shmee drive around my front yard here in rural austria wtf haha

[@mikajo]

Saw a yellow version in person in Gratz last year parked in front of a restaurant. I got to talk to the person driving it and it turned out to be one of the VPs. He told me the factory was close by. Truly epic!!!!

thats a great perk of such a small city, same with the G wagons from Graz, easy to meet the right people ;) @@mikajo

[@FireStorm4056]

Fun fact - as insanely light as this thing is, the GMA T.50 is almost 300kg lighter. Absolutely insane.

[@J_Sport1]

....and Donkervoort whit same engine is 750kg. How that is possible? New Lambo 1700kg.....

[@TheConceptarchitect]

I had to fact check this and your right. Even with a V12 in it, the t50 weight 997kg. This is at 1220kg.

I like Gordon Murray cars more then Pegani(It's just my opinion) what do u think👌

[@greggreg2263]

KTM has made great top-of-the-line motorcycles for years. I’m happy to see them building cars. This car is unbelievable. I would like to bang it through the streets.😁

[@pearlvision7156]

And they produce very cool bicycles too

[@rustler08]

When? They haven't done so in a long time. They're fun, but Aprilia, Ducati, and Kawasaki have destroyed them for at least the past two decades. They just make fun motorcycles, even if their CEO said some douchey thing when they bowed out years ago

[@greggreg2263]

@@rustler08 i’ve been out of the loop I guess I haven’t watched any racing for 15 years and I haven’t rode in the dirt for about 18😳

[@irishoutlaww13]

I love too see that they haven't outsourced at least from the assembly area it doesn't appear that way? But outsourced production and they're built in Austria.

[@irishoutlaww13]

Audi sourced engine of course but I don't object to that.

That sound just reminds me of an RS3 that I drove not so long ago, it just sounds so pure and natural

[@AAMSFR]

It’s the same engine

[@williamrogercummings277]

Very unique. This is a car that many people would not see iff it were not for Tim.

[@Rezcuz]

Incredible bikes and cars, truly an elite manufacturer

[@sadmancho]

I have know KTM for years as a super bike company. This is interesting to see the car portion of the company.

[@frankr111th]

Removable steering wheel is a great anti-theft system too! 😁

[@Shmee150]

Nice thinking

[@Sonderax]

Imagine something that mental in the garage next to the Zenvo. Shockingly well priced at around $250k

[@Shmee150]

Would look pretty crazy!

[@KinaestheticDmaw]

@@Shmee150Guessing this is one of your upcoming acquisitions?

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

That is value! 500 HP and 2,400 lbs. Excellent power to weight.

[@CliffEckstorm-xo3jr]

Wow... I want one... Seriously.... I want one... As always, a very informative tour of the facility where they are building the new KTM road/track car. Thank you very much for bringing us along, Tim. 😎

[@michaell3739]

1000km of range, sounds like the perfect car to drive to the Nurburgring do some laps fuel up and get home. So when is one coming to your collection?😃

[@brandenongkp]

Tim this car fits you perfectly , you truly deserve one ☝️

[@Sulkysolid]

Tim “boiling” at 26°c is hilarious! That’s like 78°F for us Americans. Sounds like BEAUTIFUL weather to go for a drive! Looks like you had a blast! Can’t wait to see one of these IRL! Maybe someone will display at sema this year? 🤞🏼!

[@teamneverlost]

Try Australia with our 45°C summer days

[@kidd7583]

The driver's cockpit and the canopy of this car looks like it came straight from the B-2 bomber which is absolutely awesome to me. What a cool and awesome car I think it looks better than any hyper car or super car hands down.

[@rogert.winemiller40]

GENIUS!!! You need one shmee. I absolutely love this, wish I could afford one. I've got a KTM 350 sx dirt bike and love it.

[@irsyadrdp]

This KTM X-Bow alongside the Zenvo TSR-S would look absolutely awesome in the Shmuseum 😎👌 And the cockpit view of this car is so nice

[@Satronaut-pw3ij]

Those GT cars look like a stealth bomber.

You're very sick.

[@danyboyy31]

Naahhh, cool sport car 😭😭😭

[@ryan49805]

Maybe it’s because I’m a dumb American casual car enthusiast, but I had no idea ktm even made cars. Thought they only made dirt bikes and quads… super cool!!!

[@johnbaldock6353]

My new fav supercar ! Thanks for making a video on it, Tim !

[@alexrekzu4079]

Very cool Tim. Thanks for showing this because VERY few people knew this existed. ✊

[@readrepairs]

lovely to see that factory, almost hand made and assembled on a small scale. Nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulkrapp]

Great job with the factory tour! You have such a confident fluid way of presenting facts and showing us parts. 👍😎👍

[@rendyred9096]

Wow, one of the most stunning vehicle to be produced . KTM has done an amazing job

[@_Suzuka_Joe]

2.5l RS3 engine is really amazing to listen to. Its the only reason I miss my old RS3

[@Jrambo51]

You gotta buy one of these shmee. Track, road and such a long distance on the tank. It must be the everything car.

[@S-T-E-V-E]

I first saw these a while back and couldn't believe it was a KTM! It looks like a proper car! 😂

[@Jasta315]

And now I have a new dream track toy. That looks amazing!

[@BenjaminHartleyReturns]

This needs to be introduced in GT7 since the game has KTM as a purchasable brand, and the live channel in the dealer listing shows this very car.

[@larryschermerhorn9794]

I absolutely loved this video... ktm has come so far

[@allensaunders449]

Hoped someone would eventually show ktms cars nice. You are first person to drive

[@Shmee150]

Delighted to have visited

[@kevinDG7]

You need a full track car. This would be a great replacement for the Senna or you order a gt3/4 RS. Love the factory tour

[@joeNotexotic579]

He has a zenvo it's basically a race car raw fast powerful light weight but it's a road car

[@ecc6702]

Getting one of these and bringing one to the US would be insane

[@JustinMcFly1980]

I think one of these instead of 3 wheeler, or BMW 1M, would be a nice rare experience for the Shemuseum, especially if you do a multi color wrap. 🎉

this is actually a ultimate car for you and your buddy to go a ride.

[@Trigg8988]

Great video and very informative...You're very lucky to get the opportunity and the chance to be given access around places like this. Its videos like these that give us, the viewer a chance to see behind the scenes aswell. Keep up the great work!! 👏🏼👍🏼

[@DefaultName-ql2os]

I honestly could see one of these joining the fleet as a pure track day weapon. Silverstone, Spa, Nurburgring, etc

[@deltas4764]

It's always magnificent when aerospace oriented designs are integrated into automotive applications.

[@JPspinFPV]

Some of your best content yet, and certainly one of the most interesting cars. Nice work!

[@Sonic-Boom]

That full carbon car in the opening shot looks stunning! So Much Want!!

[@jackleonard2088]

I’ve gotta say I didn’t give this car much credit when you introduced it originally . But seeing the manufacturing approach, production floor and the clean design in carbon really changed my mind. I also think that the low horsepower, low weight combo compared to other super cars would make it a much more usable and enjoyable car on the street. If I was in this market this would be the car I’d buy.

[@pranavhb1716]

Ktm are known for making rowdy machines and their bikes scream hooligan and this car is also absolutely mental

[@heliotarra]

I love the removable steering wheel in a street car. If I ever am able to afford one of these I'll use it as a display piece in my house when the car isn't in use. It's that cool.

[@roostfezza7563]

Looks like an excellent fun car. Supercar looks, feel and go without the exorbitant price tag.

[@LoudModeOn]

Saw these racing in GT2 a few weeks ago and looked to see if there was any YT content on them because I thought they looked so cool. Didn't find much, but needless to say Tim comes up with the goods!

[@cjvaans4484]

Great factory tour, Tim. Amazing looking car. The way the canopy opens up is so cool. It looks like a batmobile on the road. What's even more unbelievable is the price. It's so affordable on what you get. A car like this would probably cost a million. You need to add this one in your garage.

Like this car , it's a car company coming from a very successful bike company. I guess someone said along the lines that created a challenge and challenge accepted. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it handles Nurburgring in an upcoming feature with you Tim at the wheel. Cheers

[@jamesdellaneve9005]

I am impressed with all of the composite interior. An improvement could be to make the monitors look more integrated and less tacked on.

[@Boosted_C8]

Thanks a lot Tim, now I’m in the process of starting to track one down to buy or wait on order. Too cool not to buy for a track car. It’s gonna be a blast.

[@stevespacek8893]

What a car!! I think I’d be going for the GT4 though. Have always loved that car. Tiny Batmobile looking thing! Mad revs and if I remember rightly, even lighter weight and flick ability than this one;) Nice work Shmee! That was both fun and informative to watch. Thanks 🙏🏾

[@damonm3]

Ya, gt4 rs is miles ahead of this car. But if they had same engine in this car it would be a lot better. Just wish the rs was closer to this weight. It’s not heavy but it’s too bad modern light sprints cars can’t be in the mid 2k range. I just sold a turbo Miata. It was 2170lbs… 240whp., not a bad car for sure, but my buddies gt4 is just so much nicer and more refined etc etc.

[@stevespacek8893]

@@damonm3 Hey, I'm thinking you are referring to the Porsche GT4.. I was talking about the the KTM GT4- there little race car that came out some time after their open top road car. Its in the background of the video and is the car seen just before Shmee gets to the featured GT cars. Kinda looks like a smaller version of the featured car. Like a mini Batmobile. Theres some kool videos of this car doing its thing on track via POV. Proper weapon and in a different league to the Porsche GT4- as awesome as it is! I'm not sure if KTM makes their GT4 for the road but if they did I reckon it would be a ton of fun!
