Dude this is fucking incredible
im there Misha!!! Im excited to see how the opal turns out.
Judging by how loud the supercharger whine is it's still running the M62 supercharger? If so then grab a Harrop for it ;)
Hey Misha, I've got the same car here in Cyprus (turbo version), and it's one of the fastest street cars, even with its stock suspension. I also have the same Protrack one wheels. I've noticed at 4:47 that you're missing the rear centre caps because the ones they send you don't fit 😢. You could kindly ask them to send you the high centre caps that beautifully fit the wheel centre and hide that protruding rusty iron in the middle 😉 🤓
Also, please mention the tyre sizes you are using. Thanks, keep it up, you 2!
Great stuff. Best of good fortune in this new venture
Amazing news, fair play putting your money where your mouth is- you had confidence in his abilities, and went all in to make something happen! Look forward to seeing this develop

251 trough foxhole, Misha really does trust the car.
In einer Aluwanne mit Plastikkarosse und ohne Käfig. Der Speedster hat nur einen Überrollbügel und original nur einen Fahrerairbag. Der hier hat gar keinen.
Bei einem Hochgeschwindigkeitseinschlag ist man in der Tupperdose tot.
@@iknowit3705I agree it needs a proper roll cage especially with how much faster it is now…
@@iknowit3705 Ja, so wie in quasi jedem anderen Auto auch. Man darf aber die Stabilität des Alu-Chassis nicht verachten...
Grip doesnt lie :D
@@grossmeister1181Schau Dir mal Bilder von der Aluwanne an. Das Konzept kann man nicht mit ausgeklügelten modernen Fahrzeugen vergleichen. Lotus, die auch den Opel Speedster 2001-2005 gebaut hatten, besitzt gar nicht die Möglichkeiten eines Großserienherstellers. Aktuelle Fahrzeuge sind sehr sicher, u.a. durch Crashtests, daraus entwickelte Fahrgastzellen, Seitenaufprallschutz, 10 Airbags, wegklappende Pedale, etc. Der Speedster (wie die Elise/Exige) hat davon: Nix.
Und ich jenn mich aus. Besitze einen Speedster Turbo und hatte ne Elise. Beide schon teilzerlegt.

Very happy for this guy and his internship at Ferrari. How cool!

@@mgcharoudinSo cool. Much deserved
Even better!!
"Use this for maximum grip on corners"
Misha after one minute driving "I am the grip"
I AM the liquor
Ahahahah
i AM the danger Skyler
Damn, that grip at schwedenkreutz was insane. The ending left me yearning for the other half of the lap. I hope to see more of this car next season if there is not already pre-recorded a full lap with no tire issues.
You can really see how much worried and how he cares for his car when he suspected the tyres were gone
Well those are not that cheap...it is understandable especially after 1 lap...i would be pissed of also.
@@The_Touring_Jedithose were prototype tyres, most likely free
@@vladpcgamer No just expensive semi slicks
@The_Touring_Jedi literally says in the video that they're prototype tyres and yhat they weren't released for sales when they were using them in this video
That porche at the early stages of the lap, you know the one that wouldnt move out the way? He was probably thinking ah look at this cute little Opel, no way he gets past me... next thing you know it dissappears from the rearview never to be seen again! What a absolute track weapon!
Well its the definition of a sleeper
porsche driver was an asshole. totally blocked him in the left-hander.
@@Osiris57 never seen a sleeper with DRS and 2 meters wing
@@oftankoftanof course he's an asshole, he drives a Porsche lol but in all seriousness i think he might have been caught off guard. I remember Misha saying something last video about being careful passing with these low cars because drivers don't always see them. And I suspect that Porsche wasn't expecting such performance.
Probably too focused on the car ahead. @@spamcan9208
I think we can all agree, we are witnessing the beginning of an amazing success story. So cool to see
You can legit see in the video how glued to the ground car is, seems like a go cart. I feel like it can handle more power easily, also amazing it doesnt rub at all through the entire track.
A lap I was really waiting for. Amazing what this man had build.
Also very exciting to hear that your partnering with him to build your own company. Will follow closely, because it sounds like really cool stuff is going to happen there.
Still missing proper seatbelts for the passenger side in this build
"Underneath is, where the magic is" 😏 @7:20
That sentence, alone the way he said it, shows you the passion, commitment and confidence he has in his baby. That's the real blessing.
I really really hope this is the start of something huge for you Misha, All the years of hard work growing your channel and brand to where it is today, I hope this sets you up for life mate.👍👍👍
It certainly could. Cars will change in the coming years and decades, but aerodynamics and racing aren’t going anywhere
Amazing drive. Also, the kg of downforce from the aero package is corroborated by what the G-Meter reads to within a few kg, from what I can assume about the car's overall weight. So the calculations the kid made are really good.
If you need any additional mechanical or mechatronic design my humble services are at your disposal.
@mgcharoudin
Holy shit this looks like a fun drive!! With all that handling, maybe an extra 100whp would be a nice step-up, as it looked like it could deal with it easily!
More power needs more dforce. It'd going to get wild.
@btownballer27 There were quite a few moments in the lap where a little extra power would have really made a difference. Not massive gains though, as I reckon that'd ruin it. I'm very British in my tuning preferences. We have smaller winding roads, too much power is pointless!
More power for a race car is never pointless if you can handle it and it doesn't add more weight.@@PrivateCustard
@@102ndsmirnov7 it's pointless if you're not having fun. We do it for fun mate.
Maybe extra 50whp that about it
We've seen some really cool and impressive cars on your channel over the years, from some funny builds from the Boosted Boris days to Manthey GT3RS's, but man this... This is next level. I can't imagine just how much time and effort went into designing this aero kit.
I cannot explain just how amazed I am.
Best of luck in this new adventure!
Amazing, what a build. Congrats and the best of luck on the partnership.
This is one of the coolest setups I think I have seen in a while. I am excited to see how this goes in the future!
Hitting 1.4g in the corners very often, very nice! I love projects like these, much cooler than the average M coming to the track for me personally. Skill, passion and purpose
The VX220 (Speedster) has always been one of my favourite cars EVER. I truly think this is the best "build" that has appeared on this channel and one of the best builds on YT right now.
I'm super excited to see what you both come up with in the next year, I'm fucking hyped!!!!
220 km/h through schwedenkreutz is quite fitting 😉
Over 250 kph through the Foxholle, that's insane! 😉
This make the Lewis Hamilton 2025 switch to Ferrari make sense.
Underrated comment! 🤣🤜🤛
Mindblowing news indeed. Now I can see why that car was having cameos in the background on some of your vids. I am very proud of both of you and I hope this takes off smoothly... I mean the partnership not the opel taking off the ground. 😂😂
At 6.20ish you can see this man is a real carguy, an exotic exhaust note and he nearly lost his words 😂, looking forward! Obviously you guys need to do e36/e46 parts, they will sell like geschnitten brot.😊
E36/E46 i feel is to old base now.. If not.. Feel free to use my E46 as prototype car @mgcharoudin 😂❤
"this always happens here" - Misha
*nods in agreement* - Lapo
"wait what?" - Lapo
*waves hand* - Misha
"nvm" - Misha
LOL love these two
One remarkable thing is that, very few engineers can experience their creations, F1, WEC, GTs... and this is what makes this video even more incredible! Seeing the reaction from Lapo, the moment he realized the beast that he built. Good luck to both in this path and I hope to see the next versions in 2024.
That gt3rs had no chance at the beginning!! Holy shit!

What an absolute DREAM you have as a project/business! I hope one day i'll be able to do something like that. Building my own cars, having complete (creative) freedom. I'm so stoked for the 2nd channel!
The video I've been waiting for all year round since the last video of the amazing Lapo's Ground Effect car. Quite the improvements he's made to it since the last!!!, happy for him as a fellow Mechanical engineering student too and his abilities go to show how capable we are when we let our dreams run loose!!! GOOO LAPPPPOOO🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🎉
Good luck for this new adventure in the business. As a fellow Italian vehicle engineering student I am pleased to hear that the passion and knowledge of young people is really well appreciated. Since the first video you both made I got a lot of inspiration to do better and get the same recognition of all the hard work we put in during the university time. I hope others did too. Good luck again guys 😊
Wow, excited to see what this collaboration brings!
Yes!! I've been waiting for this video since the original - so good!
He's struggling to keep his head straight at 13:40 ? crazy
Yes!!! Awesome news, I will likely be a future customer. Been waiting for the return of this car. I’ll vote for E46 M3 parts, but I’m just being selfish lol. Really wanted to have some flat floor aero parts for downforce. Look forward to seeing what you guys produce!
Mind bending to watch it perform, cant imagine being in it! Hats of to you guys and good luck, really impressive
Thats not just engineering. Its pure science! Hope you guys an amazing new start for your company! Much respect for both of you. You guys are beasts, ive enjoyed every single minute of the video!!!
What an incredible performance and story! My honest appreciation for Lapo´s job! Looking forward to hearing from his future story. Amazing to see how this car was driving circles around the GT3 RS
Sad the lap was cut short. This car has so much potential. I was looking for this video a lot. Congrats to you guys. Can't wait to see what's next.
wow what an inspiring guy. he grinded and put himself out there, and now he's onto something big at such a young age. wishing you guys the best
What a car. Something satisfying about listening to a manual go up and down the box. Pure driving
Oh wow, I just can't imagine how good this car will be once everything is "as it is intended to be"! The paint job once all is done must be something spectacular!
Holy fk that felt like a GT4 car
That's fantastic news. Too many times this has happened: "Everybody said it couldn't be done. Then some, who didn't know that, came along and just did it". Good luck to all of you!
i've actually been looking for someone to do an underpanel for my 240z.
I would love to visit the shop some day and talk. it sucks that everything for these cars are done overseas
We certainly can do it!
With Sequential Gearbox that would rock some laptimes
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS CAR TO RETURN! And amazing that he is becoming the Mad Scientist of downforce of sorts! Very excited to see what’s next
That was fast, the car looks much more refined now and actually insane to drive, can't wait to see it properly finished and tweaked for the nurburgring. Congrats to both of you, keep up the good work.
The car seems to have video-game like levels of grip now, how awesome! And congrats to you both on another chapter of your journey!
The student's car is really coming along, love the DRS and front diffusers on the splitter. The car looks so close to the ground in the on-board! great work. Great video! congrats on 1.1M! going quick now once you crack 1M!
I've been watching a lot of hill climb monsters videos, great channel. Its pretty much all European hill climb's. very cool cars with lots of aero and power. It would be cool if you built and entered one or drove one and provide some "behind the scenes" could be great content!
The fun. Foot down enjoyment and trust in this car makes this one of his best videos by far
Congratulations both of you!!!! What a wonderful news!!! Have a happy Christmas from Greece!!!
Might want to consider some custom parts for my AMG GTR ;)
Get in touch🔥
There is no doubt you will face challenges in your future. I do believe that there is great success awaiting both of you in the future. I'm excited to watch you build another great company.
Congrats bro ! I’m glad you guys get to start something new and something that feels only too perfect with what your passion is bro. Many blessings on the new endeavor
NGL he can quite easily get a spot in one of the F1 teams as aerodynamics manager (i'm sure theres a job related to that) or something to do with the aero of the cars themselves, but I think this is by far more exciting. Made that Porsche look like he was doing a cooldown lap. I'm so glad Misha is helping people grow and actually do the things they love doing. Great content as always and good luck!
That thing is a rocket! 😧 I really want to see this thing do the full lap! Respect to him for sticking to his own project and not chasing money at another company, look forward to seeing what else he can do in the future 😎
Awesome news. Congratulations comrades.
Wow! Incredible grip and just when you were really starting to lean into it. Looking forward to part 2 . Good luck with the new venture.... you obviously have put together a great team.
Amazing build, been following for a while.
Can’t wait to see how the company grows 🎉
Can’t wait to see how this develops! This is such a huge inspiration for me, a student who is about to start studying mechanical engineering!
This car's insane, wing or no wing
...Kinda wanna see it do a bit of time attack somewhere
Mate, this almost had me crying. Mad props to you all for following you passion, trusting yourself and going for it full gas.
The beginning of a truly inspiring journey. I'm happy and excited to see where this is going. Congratulations to the three of you! And the way this car is sticking to the ground at corners is putting a grin on my face. Wow!
Good luck Misha & team 😄💪💨
Does this mean you guys will make parts that dont exist but can be made out of ideas? I have some suggestions.. 🙄🤪
Yes!
@mgcharoudin the miata aerodynamically focused fastback market is lacking, and I'd be willing to put my money where my mouth is for a livable, lightweight, aerodynamically efficient carbon nb miata fastback. Had money sitting to buy one but 6 months after contact the builder still didn't have an eta
@@noncog1 My first thought was oh a miata definitely needs this
@@noncog1counter point: Toyota mrs
@kantina4765 counter-counter point: less exist, less race, struts on all four corners (gross)
No i like the mr-s, but the actual problem is how short the car is behind the passenger compartment, may make keeping attached flow hard, and will definitely cause problems with the trunk
That's amazing news, congratulations Misha! And good luck of course, but you won't need it! :)
Guy is a genius, the car is just slammed to the ground and corners like its on rails, amazing job!!!!
After watching the previous vid, am so happy to see this. There is definitely so much potential here. I wish you guys all of the good things!
Downforce is plenty good but maybe 50 more hp for the straights and the uphill and it would be a very fast car indeed with that grip. That young man knows his stuff that's for sure:)
This is amazing, an evil genius with car design and a talented driver with a huge following. It sounds like an ideal partnership.
WOW amazing news! Previous video with Lapo is one of my absolute favourite but, now this took it to a whole new level! Wish you both all the success!
Mental machine! And head full of great ideas, good luck guys with the project! Happy to see the passion and knowledge doesn't get wasted and being used the only right way 🔥
Wow I'm early here. Happy holidays Misha and everybody watching this!
Awesome and wish you guys the best of luck with the new business...👌👍😁
I had a smile on my face the whole time and I was just watching! Epic guys, congratulations on the new venture. Seeing people do what they are passionate about is the best, exited for the future content. Thank you :)
Seeing this video makes me so happy, I loved the first video so seeing it flourish into something viable is awesome. Having spent a lifetime in Engineering, the right partnerships are essential to gain traction. Best to both of you and everyone involved in the project, I'll be watching.
Watched the original video when it released and been waiting for this return since. It's great to see people succeed, keep it up.
Im only 2:34 in, and I'm fully invested in this guy, I was even from the last one and was waiting for this video. I knew he would be up soon after seeing his car parked up in one of your videos so it's indeed a long awaited video for all. With that being said congrats to the both of after seeing his 1st vid and also following on IG I'm sure there's a bright future.
Would you guys be open to private investors?
very very very excited for this journey ! will stay tuned !!!!! and good luck guys
What's really crazy from the first upload is that the car wasn't bottoming out on this run and I was keeping an eye out on the DRS and I'm pretty sure you never used it, plus the tyres getting rekt, amazing!
His business should be called "Lapo Suction" 😅
I own a Speedster and I can tell you that the Speedster/VX220 community would love to buy your parts
So happy to hear this news! Last video with this Speedster was my first on your channel, and i loved it so much!
Holy shit I've been waiting for the follow up and was not let down at all that was an insane drive even though it was cut short, can't wait to see what you guys have in store for the future!!
Opel Speedster GT1 lets goooooo
Been waiting for this for a long long time. As a fellow engineering student im doing a similar thing with my E46 and will hopefully get over to you in the summer ❤
wooow! I've been watching your videos one or two years ago and definitely this is one of the best, what amazing sensation of speed
Amazing news guys! Looking forward to the video's but most off all good luck with the new business!
Bros neck is insane, staying up in a normal belt under braking
Splitter and wings for Clio 3 rs ?! Congrats guys !
This car is beautifully glued to the ground and moved through the track with great precision. If you really watch the track in the front of the car closely there is so little travel. Just sticking to the track wonderfully
I love seeing the progress on the car since last year! Keep up the good work and i look forward to seeing more progress!!
this thing NEEDS another 150hp and a proper dog box \m/ also, congrats on your new business endeavor!
A great engine on this car and I’m sure you enjoyed driving it ! But didn’t understand why he stopped you ?
the tyre rubbing I think?
Yeah we thought the tyre was gone. It wasn't completely, but didn't want to risk it
I'm so glad you actually got to drive this. Saw it in a previous video and was just WAITING for you to drive it.
Amazing to see you come so far in the last few years!!! KEEP IT GOING!
awesome news. wat a cool mechanical engineer Lapo is. exciting new chapter in the lives of Misha Diana Lapo. so many possibilities for vulcan-alpha in the car/racing industry. the world is calling u, make of it wat u will. congrats all.
Student does something incredible with a GM car.
Student takes an internship with Ferrari. GM dropped the ball, BIG TIME.
I mean not really...he stated he had multiple offers. If GM and Ferrari both offered and internship it really wasn't a choice who to choose...especially since it sounded like he was from Italy from the first video. An internship at Ferrari will help you land a more lucrative job than an internship at GM all day and it's not even close.
@@curtharakaly4620 That all depends on how much his talent means to the brand making him the offer. Plus, if GM matched the offer from Ferrari, I can see someone making a choice based on the badge alone.👍
Incredible timing, the engine started getting hot RIGHT before the tire failed, with just enough time to slow down. Very lucky the tire didn't fail while flat out, someone was looking over you Misha!
Also very cool to see this car back. Extremely impressive and would absolutely love to see a full lap in its current configuration!
Amazing to see that you guys decided to go in to business together. His talent probably wouldn't go to waste at Ferrari or any other performance car manufacturer, but this way I think he is able to have so much more freedom to try new things and really do something amazing.
