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 :)
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.😁
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
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.
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!!!!
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. 😎
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? 🤞🏼!
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.
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!!!
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!! 👏🏼👍🏼
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.
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!
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.
@@Shmee150but don’t mix it up with the tuning meetup. Also big, but recently declared illegal. The supercar meetup is still legal and well organized. Love it every time I go
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 🙏🏾
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.
@@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!
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.
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.
KTM?! Absolutely awesome! As much as I love Ducati, Aprillia, Triumph they don't have a supercar and any manufacturer would be hard pressed to build something this radical first try?! Great video Shmee!
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
This looks like sf90 front end and lambo rear end with a Audi spirit 😁 Thank you Tim! You bring us very enjoyable content. If it isn't for you... I'd be lost in videos from 10 plus yrs ago due to recent content from others are just boring...
Había uno aqui en España en MotoGP en Jerez en el dia de las carreras, mí amigo mandó un vídeo. Es increíble verlo de cerca parece un avión bombardero.👏💪
Oh man!! What an awesome car. I have a Sterling kit car or Nova kit car as they call it in England. I’m remodeling it with modern touch’s. It was has a canopy top.
Didn't realize how big this car company actually has become I didnt know they made more than just the x bow they have some really nice cutting edge stuff
THIS! Unless Mazda digs the Furai out of the ashes, this is the vehicle that I most want to see
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".
Love the Furai!
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!!!😂😂😂❤
@@mtnman1984is
lol the ashes, i see what you did there 💀
Fun fact - as insanely light as this thing is, the GMA T.50 is almost 300kg lighter. Absolutely insane.
....and Donkervoort whit same engine is 750kg. How that is possible? New Lambo 1700kg.....
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👌
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 :)
He won't regret it if he does!
@Shmee150 how much
trakc day video? want to hear it more@@Shmee150
@@nipperr725 i believe it was like 250k . the guy from KTM told me but i can't remember for sure.
Copy version of Koenigsegg general.
I can’t believe this is my first time learning about KTM. They’re all beautiful.
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.😁
And they produce very cool bicycles too
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
@@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😳
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.
Audi sourced engine of course but I don't object to that.
Very unique. This is a car that many people would not see iff it were not for Tim.
That sound just reminds me of an RS3 that I drove not so long ago, it just sounds so pure and natural
It’s the same engine
The factory tours are definitely my favourite videos !!!!👍🇦🇺
Why🇦🇺? It is literally 🇦🇹
I also liked the factory tours also super amazing how they build these amazing cars!
@@Estrema939he's probably from there
@@Estrema939 yes I am from 🇦🇺.
I always sign off with the Aussie flag😎.
never thought i would see shmee drive around my front yard here in rural austria wtf haha

thats a great perk of such a small city, same with the G wagons from Graz, easy to meet the right people ;)
@@mikajo
Der war auch schon bei uns im Ländle unterwegs 5 Minuten von mir
Your country is beautiful
I have know KTM for years as a super bike company. This is interesting to see the car portion of the company.
I love these factory tours, be awesome if u could convince them to time lapse a car build, would love to see that assembly process
Those GT cars look like a stealth bomber.
Fr
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. 😎
Imagine something that mental in the garage next to the Zenvo.
Shockingly well priced at around $250k
Would look pretty crazy!
@@Shmee150Guessing this is one of your upcoming acquisitions?
That is value! 500 HP and 2,400 lbs. Excellent power to weight.
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?😃
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? 🤞🏼!
Try Australia with our 45°C summer days
The front lift up clam looks like a B-2 Stealth Fighter Canopy.Fantastic looking car.
It looks like a bargain for £250,000! I was expecting at least £800k!
You're very sick.
Naahhh, cool sport car 😭😭😭
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.
Incredible bikes and cars, truly an elite manufacturer
Removable steering wheel is a great anti-theft system too! 😁
Nice thinking
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.
Tim this car fits you perfectly , you truly deserve one ☝️
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
Very cool Tim. Thanks for showing this because VERY few people knew this existed. ✊
lovely to see that factory, almost hand made and assembled on a small scale. Nice. Thanks for sharing.
My new fav supercar ! Thanks for making a video on it, Tim !
You gotta buy one of these shmee. Track, road and such a long distance on the tank. It must be the everything car.
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!!!
I first saw these a while back and couldn't believe it was a KTM! It looks like a proper car! 😂
Great job with the factory tour! You have such a confident fluid way of presenting facts and showing us parts. 👍😎👍
And now I have a new dream track toy. That looks amazing!
Getting one of these and bringing one to the US would be insane
2.5l RS3 engine is really amazing to listen to. Its the only reason I miss my old RS3
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
He has a zenvo it's basically a race car raw fast powerful light weight but it's a road car
Wow, one of the most stunning vehicle to be produced . KTM has done an amazing job
Hoped someone would eventually show ktms cars nice. You are first person to drive
Delighted to have visited
That full carbon car in the opening shot looks stunning! So Much Want!!
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. 🎉
I absolutely loved this video... ktm has come so far
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!! 👏🏼👍🏼

this is actually a ultimate car for you and your buddy to go a ride.
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.
That may as well be a driving sim wheel. Amazing.
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!
Sold ! This will be my weekend rig 🙏

Looks like an excellent fun car. Supercar looks, feel and go without the exorbitant price tag.
I honestly could see one of these joining the fleet as a pure track day weapon. Silverstone, Spa, Nurburgring, etc
Ktm are known for making rowdy machines and their bikes scream hooligan and this car is also absolutely mental
Some of your best content yet, and certainly one of the most interesting cars. Nice work!
Finally a car that gives bang for buck
Finally my home country is getting some attention😂 You should come visit the supercar meet at wörthersee!
Maybe one day!
@@Shmee150but don’t mix it up with the tuning meetup. Also big, but recently declared illegal. The supercar meetup is still legal and well organized. Love it every time I go
I like the factory tour, seeing the assembly, the OZ boxes 😲. Shmee sounds like Tigger 🐅 on the test drive ,lol!
Me waaaant! This is one of the most exciting cars I've seen this year.
How nice of you to break into the KTM factory over the weekend just to show us around. 😁

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

Wow Shmee this is great, I love this car, for some reason I missed ur video when it came out, wow
US price is estimated at $286K which sounds rather fair given the quality and bhp.

This looks like a gem of an experience. Was shocked when found the price, very well priced❤
The reflection of the dash board on the windscreen would drive me crazy
Top 5 best looking car of all time in my book
KTM definitely kills it xbow gen 1 was amazing and this thing looks just menacing
What an awesome car, love it. Thanks Tim
I am impressed with all of the composite interior. An improvement could be to make the monitors look more integrated and less tacked on.
When I saw O.Z wheels it took me back in my need for speed underground days somehow ,,❤
The inside seating position looks like an spaceship fighter and the cameras are unusual to look at.
Nice factory tour. The factory at which the Mercedes G series is build is also around the block there.
This looks like sf90 front end and lambo rear end with a Audi spirit 😁
Thank you Tim! You bring us very enjoyable content. If it isn't for you... I'd be lost in videos from 10 plus yrs ago due to recent content from others are just boring...
KTM X is like FORD GT on steroids
Shmee in Graz. Lovely to see you here in my hometown.
Jawohl bei uns ist es so schön und chillig
More videos like this please Shmee - very insightful
Misha needs to get this on the ring👌.
KTM always amazed me !
Thing is absolutely insane!
It truly is
Excellent episode, Tim!
This is the sort of thing I’d love to see you own.
Was so looking forward to the Crossbow review.

Might need an old-school dash mat for the windscreen reflections 👍
Great vid man thanks for showing us
I feel like Austria either makes massive offroading trucks, or sports cars, there is no in-between.
Take it to extremes
i would love to see this car in your collection!
Didn't realize how big this car company actually has become I didnt know they made more than just the x bow they have some really nice cutting edge stuff
Thats frikin cool !! Kinda looks like a mini egg! Witch isn't a bad thing!!
Agreed!
It was awesome meeting you at Petrolheadonism Live yesterday 😊
Wow! KTM is making sport cars.... Damn! And it looks good too
Do you know what a sport car is?
Love the canopy.
Wow love the car! masses of carbon reflection on the windscreen though 😮
