WarpSpeed! KTM X-BOW GT2: Specs & FAST Nürburgring Onboard

[@migaeldannhauser]

Can't believe how fast it looks, way faster than anything I've seen before.

[@Chris_the_Dickens]

Check out the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo world record. Honestly doesn't look real!

[@carlosoruna7174]

It goes faster than it looks. Lightweight tight chassis with loads of torque and hp.. a modern day caterham

[@ericpisch2732]

@@Chris_the_Dickens yeah the Porsche makes this look like a shopping cart, if I recall shmee was nudging 290kph in his senna as well

[@EleanorPeterson]

@@ericpisch2732 - But was Shmee carrying all that speed through the corners, lap after lap, over 24 hours? I doubt it. Big-power point-and-squirt driving is very tedious.

The grip levels are phenomenal, the tyres aren’t even squealing. Beautiful car.

[@thibaudprevot4270]

someone correct me if im wrong but if a racing slick starts squealing that means youre starting to be in trouble

[@liveandletdie138]

@@thibaudprevot4270 Yea, if its squealing you're either overdriving or spinning out of control.

[@Karma28217]

Slicks don't squeal like street tires do. You have a lot of grip until you suddenly don't then you're sliding around and get some squealing from both inside the car and the tires.

[@Scotty-vs4lf]

tires squeal because the tread blocks vibrate as they lose and regain traction. race tires dont have tread blocks so dont squeal unless u really fucked up

[@vegaser1c]

The telemetry showed an awful lot of throttle and very minimal braking. That was an unreal lap!

And with a 5cyl motor?! That’s amazing. Misha huge props to you for continuing to host and post so often through your recovery, glad to see it seems to be going well for you!

[@velocegmbhworldwide9798]

The corner speed is just CRAZY!!! What a machine, and the steering wheel is also cool. Great video, what a thriller you brought to us thanks.

[@trumanhw]

Exactly. I trawled through the fast corners in slow motion to find peak-average and peak G forces ... sustained averages of up to ~2.0G ... and peaks of at least 2.5G. Who knows, perhaps if I knew corners by their names etc, I'd know which one to look through to find an even higher peak. Yet, Misha has driven many cars that are "faster" (as in hit higher top speeds). It's surprising how long this car takes to get up to 120 mph / 200 km/h. But man is the mechanical and DF grip incredible.

[@speedster2]

One of the best onboards I've ever seen, the sense of speed was so palpable, the blur of the kerbstones and trees, wow, immaculate.

[@gkanai]

Hans Stuck is such a legend. Amazing to see his son Johannes working to the same level of racing.

[@Kraken9911]

Haven't heard that name In a while. His ring videos way way back in the day were my first exposure to the ring.

[@randyterwilliger7457]

In 2006 I was at a mfg test day and watched Hans go by the car park on the front straight at top speed in a Porche Cayenne whipping the wheel back and forth testing the stability control . I tried to get some photos as I swear he was lifting a rear wheel on occasion.

That's incredible. I lost count of the number of times I thought 'he's braking late here, oh, he's not braking at all😲' A completely different level to anything I've ever been in. Enjoyed the walk around too

[@EleanorPeterson]

Yep. It must take an awful lot of practice to be able to put your trust in downforce to the extent that, as you say, braking is not an option. Speed down the straight is all well and good, but carrying it through the bends without lifting is where you make up time. 🙂

[@mattbenson2607]

100% the same! And as he went I tried to adjust my brain to expect it later but never could. I am really not sure how the designed the cockpit to fit the balls his size.

[@vprwave]

What a machine, great walkthrough! I had to rewind to the beginning of the onboard right away, not only to see the windscreen was relatively bug-splatter free. 😎 Awesome footage.

[@happybeerlove]

Coolest fly swat I've ever seen

[@Fredrik_ST_wagon]

Another great video! What does it for me is the genuine exitement and pure geeking out on racing, this is contagious and makes it so much more fun and interesting. Between Missha's giggeling and geekout and Adrian's cinematography this is so awesome!!

[@Bernardo9999ify]

That car looks gorgeous ,if they make a road version then its definitely something i would love to own if i ever had the money to buy it.

[@d2doctor]

That's a hell of a lap! Vvery reminiscent of the 919 Evo lap where they just string the corners together faster than I can even think. A very impressive piece of kit for sure. I didn't know they used the Audi 5-cylinder.

[@andrewsimms3426]

I can feel that aero working from my couch! The amount commitment (and speed) needed to get that downforce working for you is mind-numbing! Huge props to the driver! Dudes got mad skills!

[@fokko1976]

That 5cyl sound… ❤️

[@bigbay4740]

Great work KTM! Love the lines, nice proportions, wicked look and fast as hell with only a five cylinder. That was one of the most thrilling laps I've ever seen on this track. Please pick me for a ride along the next time he's doing a lap, wow!! Every garage needs one of these babies!! I'll take that one just as it is, thank you very much!

This one and the Brabham both make me wish the SRO GT2 class would properly take off as a series, but I think GT3 and GT4 are so popular it’s unlikely that GT2 will really get as big as them. The KTM also reminds me of the older more insane designs with the canopy and everything.
