u was closer than 1.5 Meters between this Bikes + u accelerate!!!!!!!! why !!????? this roads are only for 40- max 60 Km/H!!! where did you get your license in bangladesh !!???
I was passenger in one on the Nürburgring and wow it's very fast around that track. Really nimble and stable. The seats look uncomfortable as hell but they are actually really comfy and very supportive. Great work by KTM
I love turbo sounds. What you lose in volume compared with n/a cars you gain in character from the turbos. Forced induction cars are just more interesting and characterful.
For a brand that isn't as big as the more popular ones like Lambo or Ferrari, KTM brought this out and it stole my heart from first sight. That edgy and sharp design always hits harder than any other. Definitely Car of the Year worthy. I mean who doesn't like a road legal race car?
I might be inclined to agree but that steering... so terrifying. It looked like he was trying to turn it INTO that oncoming car... but no just trying to make a slight lane change... That steering is WAY too vague for a car of that performance level. Go talk (or watch interviews) with Actual professional drivers, Aka people who do it at speed for a living, not just someone who has insurance to do it for reviews. Not a good feeling to have in a car with that power at all.
I was this days old when I discovered you publish the 100-200 top scores in the description and link the videos next to each time... I've always wanted to see the full list! :D
i cannot imagine the high you experienced from the roof opening/closing to reaching the speed limit on the autobahn...this car is something out of a fantasy ❤🔥
I asked if they are bringing it to the US. They said I could buy the racecar version. After looking at the maintenance costs compared to my Cayman 718 S, it is actually pretty reasonable on replacement costs!
@@philosoraptor777 What you hear in the video is the sound of the excess boost escaping when he lifts his foot off the throttle, wich is let out by the blow off valve or diverter valve. The wastegate is located in the hot part of the turbo and lets excess exhaust gasses out to regulate the boost and to prevent the turbo from overspinning, to my knoledge, it has no distinct sound. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@@tetoqx it has other expensive parts other than the Audi engine you know. So price will add up. It’s up to you if you want a rare car like this. Literally nothing else on the road like it especially at the at price.
This is incredible piece of engineering! Would be honnor to meet whole KTM team and listen their story of how was this stunning machine brought to life! My huge congratulations to their achievement that is out of this world! BTW does this road-going-formula have flexible susspension that lifts belly up for getting over speed humps? They are over 10 inches in our town....
this also has 96 liters of fuel capacity, great for long distance trips (if you can bare with uncomfy seats) and, even more important, longer track sessions between refuels
Single seat off road only track day toy would be amazing! Especially if they simplify it and make some of the CF bits out of regular fiberglass so they can cut the price a bit as a result. Also I know it would be slower but I would take mine with three pedals and an h shifter like a T.50, please and thank you!
Your videos are always fun and watching these things go like mad on the autobahn is a treat. I have one issue. 17+minute video and you never see the front of the car?? Still have no real idea of what it looks like from many angles.
An amazing car with a full carbon chassis! 🏁It clearly possesses a rigidity different from cars made of metal. When this car is running at high speeds, it is evident that it experiences a very strong downforce. I believe that Dallara is heavily involved in its development.
Thanks for the video! I was living near Stuttgart and when I saw part of this video in IG I could recognize part of the Autobahn.. the A81 from Singen to Stuttgart. They gave me good memories. I had an E36 328Ci and sometimes I put it at 240Km/h it was sensational feeling! Thanks for the video, because it gave me good remembering!
Reminds of the “Aguilla” kit car from the 70’s. It had the same roof lifting mechanism. It was a VW bug underneath though. Not exactly high performance!
This is the coolest car made by any big brand that i have seen in a long time. I would love to see big corporate Brands doing small boutique Enthusiast projects like this more n more and once they see that the demand is there they can probably just start mass-producing Enthusiast cars that don't have to be compromised for the majority consumer Market
started indicating before he checked his mirror. you're supposed to only indicate when it's clear to move over. but the Renault didn't check his mirror, just indicated, and only then noticed the KTM barreling towards him at 200 km/h.
My fantasy SUV will have a a center seated driver with two or three seats position behind him and plenty of toggle switches.. this car IS SPECTACULAR !!!
That's a spectacular car. The hatch opening canopy must have been inspired by the Batmobile. But the canopy hatch opening sequence needs to be dampered. The window needs a sliding section for the drive-thru. It needs side mirrors, and the Taillights need covers.
I previously owned a xbow r. When you crash, be live me, those 4 point harnesses save your life. There is nothing “soft” in a carbon monocoque. I agree, a pain in the ass to buckle up every time. But it’s necessary.
where is this piece of road thats shown in the ''test drive'' part of the video ??? 😅 i need to go there and drive around because that looks fun !!!! 🔥🔥
Amazing thing 😍 I have KTM mountain bike, their motorcycles are also famous, but before this car came out, I had no idea they are making cars as well 🤯
Fun fact: KTM bicycles have the same Logo as the motos, they're also have there HQs in the same small town. BUT the bike manufacturer is owned by a completly different company which has nothing to do with motobike's producer. 😉
This and Praga Bohemia are the recipe for a supercar....very very lightweight and proven engine inside that is reliable. KTM moved the game one step ahead
there should always be a slight low oan from the tires while cornering, some argument, otherwise they will cool off and you risk them not answering the call, always bark the tires around corners, push push push, not saying attack, tora tora tora! just push
The car is just... bonkers!! absolutely a weapon... but i am not sure about the steering rack, seems like it's not responsive at all? It just does not look sharp at all, to make a simple curve you need to turn nearly 180 degree the steering wheel xD
I had an RS3, and I can tell then engine in this sounds far more uncorked. I'd imagine having it 8 inches from your head and bolted to a carbon tub really turns up the wick. It's a shame they're not in the US and they're just low production numbers.
shifter is so long and tall, I thought it would be a sequential gear lever but it is not. It looks so weird. Wonder how it feel to drive!!! Amazing project for sure! After watching this clip, what if KTM puts 10,000 rpm capable honda k24 N/A engine in it? Just happy thoughts!

KTM is heavly known for there motor bikes.
500k for this car is a bit much tho ? you can get n F8 for 350k ?

Best waste gate sound EVER. The car giggles when you drive it hard.
God mode giggle, def heard it many times hahaha
not the waste gate, blow off valve

i love ktm bikes, but the xbow was already crazy and now they've gone even crazier.
I love this masterpiece from KTM!!
Cool video! Really crazy cool looking car! Idk why when i watch this types of vids the speed feels like insane while it is normally ok! Thanks!
A single seater version of this would be INSANE!
Single seat off road only track day toy would be amazing! Especially if they simplify it and make some of the CF bits out of regular fiberglass so they can cut the price a bit as a result.

Ahem, BAC already did that😁
Unbelivable car
Best regards from Germany 🙂
It uses a sequential transmission not the dq500 dual clutch from Audi , that's why the shifts are not dct sharp
Man that 5 cylinder sounds incredible
I hope someone builds the motor in one of these and runs 1200+hp, thing would be amazing.
The car has enough chassis to handle the power.
it would be insane, it would be a ktm from hell
But could you put that much power to the road?
Your videos are always fun and watching these things go like mad on the autobahn is a treat. I have one issue. 17+minute video and you never see the front of the car?? Still have no real idea of what it looks like from many angles.

1:00 called a "canopy"
12:44 that harnesses keeps your head on. & mirrors add drag
16:05 what did he do ? 🤔

My fantasy SUV will have a a center seated driver with two or three seats position behind him and plenty of toggle switches.. this car IS SPECTACULAR !!!
The mirrors need to be like an ultra wide angle view
One of my favorite lightweight cars
Now imagine the T50 with 750hp at 950kg 12000 rpm 1500kg down force.
It's the ultimate engineering masterpiece

I love the Quad-Lock all weather phone mount charger.
It looks badass tbh 🤷🏻♀️🔥 and that color 😍😍 it looks like a baby lambo tbh
Good luck Martin! 🥳
Just found you and glad I have. Great content and not 'the me show'. Thanks.
At $300K it seems almost axiomatic that none will sell considering what can be had for that same amount.
doesn't seem that bad for a full carbon race car? assume you're referring to GT3 RS, boring compared to this although maybe technically better
Amazing thing 😍 I have KTM mountain bike, their motorcycles are also famous, but before this car came out, I had no idea they are making cars as well 🤯

I’ve seen those Audi 5s tuned to 1000hp! They’re crazy.
Bro drove every dream car which I ever had.Greetings from Germany
This and Praga Bohemia are the recipe for a supercar....very very lightweight and proven engine inside that is reliable. KTM moved the game one step ahead
5:26 the first thing you notice..... (what i expected him to say:) ..... is that everyone looks at your car
someone should do a comparison between this and the Dallara Stradale
Absolutely fantastic
Pure joy and thanks! I am 6’8” 285 lbs can I fit in this?
Seeing the thumbnail i thought 500hp is ok it'll only weigh 800kg......1100kg 😬 the last xbow was well under a ton.
It does seem like it’s pretty heavy considering how extreme it is. Weights more than the Alfa 4c.
@@gtbweo
a Lotus Caterham ktm etc that's over 900kg is utterly pointless their strong point was being well under a tonne .
there should always be a slight low oan from the tires while cornering, some argument, otherwise they will cool off and you risk them not answering the call, always bark the tires around corners, push push push, not saying attack, tora tora tora! just push
Just amazing, KTM did something that other car manufacturers won’t even think of doing.
the controls and eye-wheel thought that machine has is fascinating, its like the sweetspot between a plane and a lotus view.
500 hp is the perfect usable amount of horse power
Where i live we have 2 kinds of hp the usable kind and the boasting kind
Ich mag Deine Ehrlichkeit ❣️👌🏼😊

the valkyrie is this but better and still street legal so their is something better
The car is just... bonkers!! absolutely a weapon... but i am not sure about the steering rack, seems like it's not responsive at all? It just does not look sharp at all, to make a simple curve you need to turn nearly 180 degree the steering wheel xD
This might explain what I saw the other day in matte black, in the far right lane.
It seems as if the steering ratio was strangely slow, but this may just be an illusion.
Yes, i think for track use is better
when you flip over and the fire starts you start to question how cool the canopy is
I had an RS3, and I can tell then engine in this sounds far more uncorked. I'd imagine having it 8 inches from your head and bolted to a carbon tub really turns up the wick. It's a shame they're not in the US and they're just low production numbers.

Awesome car. I dunno why KTM didn't use a different name though. It's nothing at all like the other KTM X-Bow.
@dailydrivenexotics needs one of these, their car game is not the same as it was
3:46 the “door” concept is cool but also quite dangerous
Dangerous? If you're in the wheelchair. But otherwise great. Much more strong of a construction than with "just" doors.
So badass
I’ve never seen this version of the x-bow. This is Awsome and the door hatch gives me the biggest Batman vibes. This in Matt black, call me Batman
Have been waiting for this one
Best car review person .
+Driving skills.🕶️
He gives the push that every car lover wanted to see and the sound of the turbo at the end stu stuu🤧🤤 .♥️
7:20 I can feel the feedback coming inside of me
how does it compare to the lotus v6 exige that you tested? comfort, interior, speed, handling etc etc
Where was the beginning of the video filmed?
I would change the blow off valve for a Tial
The roof opening door was first found on the Saab aero x concept
Need this color on their bikes.
Just wish the top speed was closer to like the 200mph mark instead of 175
Reminds me from a Nova Kit car from 40 years ago!
