Hey Misha, sick video. Am i just hearing things or is the throttle mapping or fuel system abit wonky on the KTM??, the hesitation through some of the gear shifts during the maps sounded off. Like a weird mini fuel cut
@@blueman5924maybe I’ve seen a different video here but I’ve seen nothing superior here apart from straight line acceleration due to less aero drag and more power / but braking and handling were weaker
@@coolguy_2997 Ok. I think we can agree that both cars are top notch, and have different attributes. When eyeing two supermodels, it’s best to say they both have nice t…’s.😂🤙
Loved watching you have the GT2RS in front of you for a good solid comparison, and to see just how amazing the brakes work in the KTM. Amazing to see that it was able to keep up with it having 200hp or so less. Great driving as always Micha!!!
This video has every reason as to why motor racing exists and why we love them. The thrill of chasing each other out, each drivers having unique techniques to outpace the opponent, and the sound of machinery pushed to the limit.
Every now and then, Misha unleasehes a video that has you on the edge of your seat and out of breath at the end of the lap! That was intense and amazing to watch! At first i was like, ahhh that bloody mono wiper... in steps an GT2 MR.... LETS GO!!! Thanks Misha!
Better than most of us, yes, but that car is capable of more than that, especially in braking, it was very conservative, but we don't know the condition of the tires and brakes, so judging is a little unfair, which is why it's difficult know if it's the driver or the car.
These chase videos are your best! Gives us perspective of how you're making up time in braking and cornering even when they pull insane gaps on the straights! These are my favourite of your videos and also reminds me of when I'm on track chasing something "faster" - makes me drive much better and the best feeling when they finally give up and give way. Brilliant video.
holy crap. outstanding machine n those laps with the GT2 RS MR, ffffk yer. the confidence Misha had with the car was huge. braking so much later n pushing hard on the loud pedal as the confidence grew, awesome laps.
KTM pulled a genius build on this one. Right suspension, right down force, engine, brakes... And the opening of the top is beautiful open or closed. Better than the batcar
Wow !! this is PURE SPEED : the KTM has the light weight handling and braking plus 500 brake while the Porsche has handling and 690 brake.....As we see on the home straight , Porsche - Gone !! Big UP ! Misha , proper driver and a great duel.
I thought the lighter weight 1130kg vs 1430kg of the KTM and 500hp would keep it on the butt of that Porsche but it pulled away on the straights. The braking and cornering of the KTM were race car like of course.
@@chrisdenman1985 Misha was driving this for the first time and had cold tyres on the first lap with the gt2rs, watch how after one lap, he understood enough to gap the gt2rs which defo had a driver who has gone around this circuit multiple times most likely in the same car
What a crazy ride. It always amazes me how stable high aero cars are through Pflanzgarten. It really reminded me of when you drove the GT3 with the cup car suspension and aero.
That was amongst the best laps on this channel Misha! 😎😎 The car indeed seems slow because : -It's so planted. -The lackluster sound... Especially strange when you know how great that engine can sound with a proper exhaust and intake! Damned be the norms I guess?
HOLY HELL MATE what a fuckin MONSTER! Drove the dogshit outta that thing haha handled like a boss! And that 2 **Chef's Kiss** how epic was that chase?! That was without a doubt in the top 5 POV runs I've ever watched.. had my Bowers Wilkens cranked up and just zoned out! Reality faded away for 15 min, I really needed that today man. Don't you dare apologize for the video length, I wish all your runs could be back2back laps.. sharing this with every petrolhead I know, until next time brother 🤙

@@DrivenToChaos_0331 Ah, you know life is good when even voice-to-text programs have sense of humour! Thank you for your effort good sir. Swearword a day keeps b*eeped word at bay.
I wonder if you could increase the boost just on the highest gear to combat the drag and allow a higher top speed. Would be a sweet add-on for the Nordschleife. Nice car. And nice chase. Immediately went to (re-)watch the GT2 RS MR onboards on this channel to compare characteristics 😁
This engine can EASILY get boosted to 700 with just cooling and oiling mods and higher boost. It's incredibly stout. And fuel efficient. Because the frontal area is TINY.
@@sNsReal A V12? All you get is expensive maintenance and repair bills but no increase in torque or power. This 5 cylinder Audi is lighter and fits the car very nicely.
The fastest lap I have seen Misha do.. Insane... Just comparing top speeds on most corners and he is driving 20kmh faster each corner or sector I see than last 100 videos. And yes I'm aware this is during TF but I usually check the speeds when he had an empty track in front of him.
Wow Misha, one of your best drives ever - beautiful! The give & take with the Porsches was joyous. Saw a KTM at Inde Motorsports Park (in AZ) earlier this year. It's an insanely cool looking bird of prey and you really showed what it can do with a piddlin' wee 500 ponies. Many safe and happy laps, carmrade!
To me seems a little dull for such a race chasis,maybe the power figures are ok but not much emotion out of it. Even that DSG gearbox is a little dull too,going from 3 to 4 was doing something weird,it was not very smooth.
A 5 cylinder that revs out to 6k, seems weak. Would be better suited with the M-6007-M52SCA + M-6017-M52SC for $32K. Would need to find a proper Transaxle to mate it to.
The X-BOW GTXR is a dream car for me, I know I'll never drive it, but its the dream in every aspect. 5 cylinder, mid engine, german/austrian engineering, this is an absolute monster lmao. That blowoff valve is the best part during the recording, it just reminds me of those old audi quattro racecars.
What a piece of engineering. If I’m having ever 300k to splash on some super car like a Ferrari 812 or a Lamborghini Aventador, I think I’ll take the KTM instead, any day.
That GT2 RS was fast in straight line but in corner the KTM win. What an amazing car! I can’t imagine the pressure he have when you were right on his back especially in corners.
GT2RS = sports car, gt xr = race car. what suprises me is Misha smoking a gt2 rs after doing just one lap with this car. Would be a weapon if someone done multiple laps with this and understood it more.
Whoa! What brilliant laps, chasing the Porsche was fantastic,shame we couldn’t see him behind you keeping up presumably. Great driving,thank you Misha 🎉🎉
@@SprayIgniteBoom and probably getting tired too! keeping that kind of pace requires a lot of stamina and focus, especially when you are getting chased by this thing. I was getting tired just watching them!
@kenrossaukrsa wastegate is after the turbo and releases excess boost while under power, hence the name "waste-gate" to prevent too much boost pressure, while a blow off/dump valve releases excess/trapped boost pressure between gear changes to avoid the turbo from stalling out, giving quicker response when back on power. Please, Google the actual part names and their functions.
I could have sworn it was the HKS SSQV (not quite high pitched enough) but then researched and saw they used the Turbosmart boost gate. It's like a symphony.
Awesome Misha!! Seems like a really fun car!! Can’t wait for you to try the McMurtry Spéirling Pure in the Nordschleife. If that had grip, I want to see what you can do with constant grip and no drag 😍
That´s just insane but pure fun to watch! The performance of both is great and whoever tried to catch up with a GT2 RS on the track, even further driven to perfection by MR, knows how difficult that is, so chapeau KTM for that performance and respect to the driver! Good job!
That KTM needs an 8K rev limit. Apart from that I'm sold! Brakes are everything. It's like adding free BHP & safety in one. The boot is huge!! Well done Misha.
This Race was Insane, most incredible race you've done so far at the Nürburgring, Porsche GT2 RS MR vs KTM X-Bow GT XR is just Awesome to watch in another Leage , your driving skills are Top Notch Misha! 👌😋
Misha this video is one of the most impressive and enjoyable video you ever made. Thank you so much for driving all these years and this epic fu*ing shot of a race car
That STUTUTU every time you stand your foot from the pedal... Glorious, what a machine! KTM demostrating it´s not only good at bikes! Literally a Batcar
Awesome one Misha! KTM X-BOW GT XR is one very interesting! GT2 RS looked like it was slowing you down in the corners. Was waiting for you to talk about the down-force...and how it compared to a couple other cars you have experienced.
@@zf8496 It's probably a VAG DSG so it's maybe only a software issue but yeah it's frustrating to see the car upshifting 2 gears at once, misha had to downshift manually. Plus the gearing is strange, 2 is too short and 6 a bit too long. (need a closer gear set ?)
@@dr80008 It shouldn't be upshifting on its own at all when it's in Manual mode. It was also not consistent when it would and would not automatically select a gear.
The rotating speedometer camera made this video so interesting to watch. I could really feel each turn and how much Misha is turning the steering wheel. Amazing video and great chase!!
This is one of those videos that is so enjoyable you watch it multiple times. Kudos to the Porsche driver too, as it gives the viewer a reference point for the performance level of the KTM.
The dash cam is so funny LOL! Misha is tossed around like laundry in a washing machine haha. Fantastic piece of machinery, amazing sounds! Drove the green hell out of it! Amazing vid!
Mega laps! Would love to see you drive the Donkervoort F22 later! They share the same engine but that's about it lol. Both different lightweight philosophies.
@@Mr.Waffullz Yeah, this one is a bit of a brick. A lightweight brick :D Don't believe that g-number, tho. It's just a spike reading from the banked corner at Zandvoort. The car is good, so it's a shame they resort to such marketing bs.
Completely insane. GT2 RS MR was also incredibly impressive. I was so excited watching those laps. I was shouting: "Misha gas ! Don't let him outrun you! You can pass harder, the chassis is excellent! " 😂 the last corner was really exciting seeing you keeping the gas. This exactly what I was waiting to see 😆
The chase around the corners and how you could catch up was magnificent. Too bad the GT2 RS couldn't keep up getting chased mid way tge second lap but that was awesome specially when you caught up agin to him in the corners after gaining so much ground
What an incredible machine! Makes it look like a god amongst ants. As others have said, I wonder the best way to increase boost a bit in the higher gears but I’m sure KTM have the power delivery very calibrated for this chassis, aero, damping capabilities etc. The fact this thing felt *slow* during high speed sections says it all. The limit in this car must be astoundingly high
That Porsche was really having to work but Mischa was chilled. It was only a matter of time and place. A great couple of laps for sure, nice job Mischa 👍
One of the better POVs on the channel, both the x-bow and gt2 rs mr were driving beautifully. Was just entertaining watching you keep up with him through all the corners.
Wooo that was a doozy of a chase! Track days are so awesome, especially with something this special. Glad the Porsche let you go around towards the end so you could really send it through the corners, and boy it did not disappoint!
Dear Santa... All jokes aside this was just incredible. Track days alone are way better than normal public track days and this is the street car version. I can only imagine what the track car can do. The cameras were a little wonky though, maybe next time offset it a bit so its not right behind the GIANT single windshield wiper 😂😂. Also did anyone else get distracted by the steering wheel camera? Even though the speedometer is stable in the shot the reflection shows Misha spinning around and around lol. Once you see it you cant unsee it 😇😁
I was really happy with your video, I was hoping so much to get the Porsche, when I could I celebrated and a smile came on my face that I don't know how to explain lol... I was having an anxiety attack and I started watching your videos and I need to thank you , they looked at me so well! I feel happy, better than any medicine, my dream is to one day at least be able to look at the cars driving around.

@@dr80008 It shouldn't be upshifting on its own at all when it's in Manual mode. It was also not consistent when it would and would not automatically select a gear.
The rotating speedometer camera made this video so interesting to watch. I could really feel each turn and how much Misha is turning the steering wheel. Amazing video and great chase!!
Amazing! Incredible! Unforgettable lap!
This is one of those videos that is so enjoyable you watch it multiple times. Kudos to the Porsche driver too, as it gives the viewer a reference point for the performance level of the KTM.
The dash cam is so funny LOL! Misha is tossed around like laundry in a washing machine haha. Fantastic piece of machinery, amazing sounds! Drove the green hell out of it! Amazing vid!
Omg that porche has insane power and stability. I think ktm cant beat that machine
Mega laps! Would love to see you drive the Donkervoort F22 later! They share the same engine but that's about it lol. Both different lightweight philosophies.
Seconded! Need to see what 500 PS does with 400 kg less weight.
@@dr80008 I'm sure the KTM has better aero, but the F22 can pull 2.3g in the corners 👀 Grip did a test on it a few months ago.
@@Mr.Waffullz Yeah, this one is a bit of a brick. A lightweight brick :D
Don't believe that g-number, tho. It's just a spike reading from the banked corner at Zandvoort. The car is good, so it's a shame they resort to such marketing bs.
@@dr80008 you know they have to do that home marketing lol. I remember they won their class at the 24 hrs of Dubai so I'm sure the F22 is setup right.
Completely insane. GT2 RS MR was also incredibly impressive. I was so excited watching those laps. I was shouting: "Misha gas ! Don't let him outrun you! You can pass harder, the chassis is excellent! " 😂 the last corner was really exciting seeing you keeping the gas. This exactly what I was waiting to see 😆
the GT2 MR driver got on it!! nice ride!
That's pretty impressive, what a couple of laps!!
wow this is awesome! Misha and the X Bow!
It's absolutely insane,insane. Thanks for the ride.
The chase around the corners and how you could catch up was magnificent. Too bad the GT2 RS couldn't keep up getting chased mid way tge second lap but that was awesome specially when you caught up agin to him in the corners after gaining so much ground
Oh my god, since I've been following you, this is my favorite.
Would love to see Kevin Estre in this thing! Amazing job Mischa you are an absolute animal!!
yeah yeah it will be great thing!!!💪💪
That was absolutely brilliant 👏
Lightweight babyyy😎
Weight reduction on full display
I didn’t know how much I needed to watch this video until I watched it
What an incredible machine! Makes it look like a god amongst ants. As others have said, I wonder the best way to increase boost a bit in the higher gears but I’m sure KTM have the power delivery very calibrated for this chassis, aero, damping capabilities etc. The fact this thing felt *slow* during high speed sections says it all. The limit in this car must be astoundingly high
That Porsche was really having to work but Mischa was chilled. It was only a matter of time and place. A great couple of laps for sure, nice job Mischa 👍
Insane how how quickly you caught up with him on the brakes after the Döttinger Höhe.
One of the better POVs on the channel, both the x-bow and gt2 rs mr were driving beautifully. Was just entertaining watching you keep up with him through all the corners.
14:52 NOOOO MONICAAAAAAA.
underated comment
Wooo that was a doozy of a chase! Track days are so awesome, especially with something this special. Glad the Porsche let you go around towards the end so you could really send it through the corners, and boy it did not disappoint!
That's a crazy little car!
Also looked like you were counter steering on every corner when looking at the speedo cam😆
the sound of air intake is amazing
Dear Santa...
All jokes aside this was just incredible. Track days alone are way better than normal public track days and this is the street car version. I can only imagine what the track car can do. The cameras were a little wonky though, maybe next time offset it a bit so its not right behind the GIANT single windshield wiper 😂😂. Also did anyone else get distracted by the steering wheel camera? Even though the speedometer is stable in the shot the reflection shows Misha spinning around and around lol. Once you see it you cant unsee it 😇😁
7:04 the footage of the hatch closing is pretty sick ngl
I was really happy with your video, I was hoping so much to get the Porsche, when I could I celebrated and a smile came on my face that I don't know how to explain lol... I was having an anxiety attack and I started watching your videos and I need to thank you , they looked at me so well! I feel happy, better than any medicine, my dream is to one day at least be able to look at the cars driving around.
Turbo flutter never gets old.
