KTM X bow (830kg 230hp) vs Porsche 911 GT3 RS (1350 kg 450 hp). (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVkfpTxFgH4)
Look at how badly the big bad porsche bullied the tiny KTM ( watch until the end ;) )
BTW GT3 RS price ~190 Gs

Not really bullying, sure the GT3 pulled away on the straights, but the Porsche driver embarrassed himself and his machine in the turns.
I think most 818s taken to the track will have a bit more grunt that the 2.0L turbo VW motor in the KTM and keep up with the 'Big Boys' just fine (except on the lonnnggg straights).

Lol, the 818 is a track beast, it is pretty much factory fives fastest track car to date with only a base tune. 3.8 to 60 with r compounds in 40 degree weather is like 3.0 to 60 in hot weather. That's gtm area, but it can go twice as fast in corners .

Only reason for you to check your mirrors is to know when to pull to the right as I lap you....again. Maybe I'll make it fair and let my 11 year old drive, giving you a fighting chance.
