what is going on guys welcome back to Stef ABtv now this is a video I'm super
excited to present to you it's been a while since I did a 250 bhp reaction
video and when I do release those videos I tend to do pretty well but let me
introduce to you Luke from LK horizon welcome to the channel. thank you
very much it's great to meet you. absolutely it's been a long time coming
one thing I do need to point out first of all
congratulations you've just hit a hundred thousand subsribers, this guy's channel is
blowing up literally and well-deserved as well, so purpose of today's video
Luke, you've got yourself a one 145 Abarth 595 at your moment
you've just had a 180 comp from abarth UK, mmm-hmm, you've now got
the Biposto behind you. which is a beast, it is a beast and I'm
about to take you out in mine which is two hundred and fifty horsepower.
make sure to head over to
Luke's channel I will leave a link in the description below make sure you check
that out but in Luke's video he's contemplating whether he should upgrade
he's abarth 595 or just go straight for the
Biposto or something like that so yeah. Still don't know what to do
yet but hopefully you can help me decide. Well we'll see about that but I can
see all of my loyal subscribers are sitting there twiddling their fingers
going I cannot wait to see this reaction but yes, so behind me of course is the
biposto, you guys have all seen videos on that car already I've got a
load on the channel so if you haven't already subscribe and follow me over here
on Instagram for all the pre YouTube stuff, over here for Luke's Instagram be
sure to give them a follow as well but right now we're gonna roll some b-roll
and I'll join you in the car where I'm gonna see this guy's reaction.
okay right so we're now in the car Luke how are you feeling? I honestly don't
we've just been out in the 695 Biposto so if we make sure to head over to Lukes
channel to see that video, that was your first proper video
on it, yeah and you loved it, I do, honestly it's gonna take a lot for me to
be swayed to mod my car other than to you know buy the biposto. This is
gonna be good and also the car is properly running the right power it should do
I had a bit of an issue over the winter time, its now running as it should
and yeah, so the biposto is 190 by 188 foot-pound of torque. I've driven to this
spot now and I haven't put my foot down at all to give Luke a proper first
reaction in this car. The anticipation is killing me let's do it. let's do it
goodness...
geez how is that... the power is just instant! The Noise! The noise is not bad.
what you think?
I love it! there's so much fun doing reaction videos and getting people's
reactions.
that is unbelievably quick its just.... my god
yeah it's had a little done to it so it's kind of worth it for
moments like this
Ohhh!!!
this should not be legal! yeah and the thing is with this car as well you know
those of you subscribe to the channel no I went on a road trip to Belgium in this
car and the friends of mine had a c63 AMG and an Evora 400 and they weren't
shaking this at all. I could see what I've just got no words oh my lord that's
the reaction I was hoping for buddy. Thats INSANE. It just
keeps on going. so buying a biposto or modding an abarth. what are your
thoughts right now? I'm just back to square one, got here today met up with you and I
was thinking oh you know what I think I'm just gonna buy the biposto and I..
have i thrown a spanner in the works now
Oh my.... modification crew kicking in. That is insane oh my gosh. but the thing is in so you know you
talked in your video about a little bit of lag, yeah, so to put into perspective, right
now im in forth gear
yeah, foot to floor right now.. yeah it takes a while to build up.
You have to drive it like a type r. you get the right gear in and even third you know
it's not great but get in second gear..
not bad right. oh my lord! and you can feel the torque steer as
well there's a lot of talk steer, yeah I'm used to it, guys on the channel know
but you do have to fight these things but then that just adds the character
of these cars but, something like this should not be going
as fast as it doesn't it should have be making the noises. I've actually
light-headed but how much this car pulls, its just... jesus... I have been in some fast cars
over the years ,yeah, I would say this comes in the top five for acceleration
oh really? yeah seriously so McLaren f1 Bugatti Veyron this is somewhere in the
top five I don't know, and you know why? because it's like yeah sense of speed
you catch it right
Oh my the pops and bangs!!
this is ridiculous! what a car! glad I made youre day buddy, thank
you. it does beg the question and I think let's turn it down a bit, for my subscribers
it's been a long time since they've seen me really drive the car hard because I've been posting
loads of content of other stuff at the moment. I hope your happy to see me tortured like this!
this is the whole thing about tuning, when you get into the realms
of tuning there possibilities are endless now this is 250 horsepower which
at the time when it was built was like the thing, it was a oh my god I need 250bhp
Now people are getting 300 from these Abarths and I know one guy who's
just hit 330bhp in something that weighs...
what drugs are these people on?!
the problem is with these cars and I guess if you were ever think about going
down the route of tuning is that you can get to about 250 to 255 safely on the
stock internals of the engine without forging anything if you go over 250 you
need you need to upgrade the cams you need to forge the block there's a lot
more cost that comes in to it. for the reaction on people's faces and just the
smile its always worth it.
brakes are good too. They have to be!
people to do these kind of mods and they forget about the brakes, yeah get big
breaks and these are 330 millimeter huge discs but you need it for
this kind of power you absolutely do
I've got lightheaded. yes there you go me that's my gift to you
congratulations for 100k. okay guys as always I hope you've enjoyed these videos you can
see Luke is still recovering from the 250 bhp Abarth reaction
