Lovely. Your little voiceover is a scream. More please - I'd love to hear this thing on the go. Especially on a drive-by if possible. With oversteer please. Thank you in advance.

[GTRene]

@Col, maybe tomorrow(Sunday) when their is some space on the German autobahn I try to make a short video(when I visit the Ring but not going on it with my Hartge) but I can store only 1.25 sec its not much.
I don't have a video camera so I have to make it with that mobile thing, I try to touch 300km/u again on the speedo and a short video of that on board.
Maybe in about a month or so I have more better? film....
cheers, you got a impressive collection yourself.

Cheers GT. You really need to commit some record of this thing to film for posterity. What did you say before - it's one of two cars ever made or something? Has to be done. I'll keep a bit of space on my hard-drive for it, for whenever you have the film recorded.

[GTRene]

Yes its the only 5.0 Hartge Z3 coupe ever made, so its one of the rarest car on the planet
And I love it...but won't keep it long because I also care for the car so someone else can enjoy it too,
cheers

here a short impressum from my car going from 100 to 200km/u its bad quallity because its made by mobile;

And here proof that it can do 300km/u even with wind coming up front! so no backwind even then we managged 310 on the speedo in our second run, maybe we can get 320km/u(with a new bigger airfilter) on it with some backwind or no wind;

The car is amazing - thanks for posting the videos. Just one word of caution: You really should not fiddle with the camera phone and steer with one hand at the same time as doing 300 km/h - please get a video camera and a proper mount. Be safe...

[GTRene]

when your alone yes, but my girlfriend was with me and she made a short video with the phone, but she was not so steady.
Almost no traffic at those moments, only the big fast Mercedes CLS that was getting smaller in the mirror once over 270, guess his top was/is about 280/290km/u

I think I pass my car on in a few months because its my only car and I don't want to many km(miles) on the clock and its so rare! but I'm not fortunate enough to keep it long so when someone is really serious and do me a real good offer that I can't resist I will let it go, and keep the rest in memory, its a beauty

A little update, I finally got my engine cover plate (@ the CBR07 car-meet in Germany) that was missing see here the result, the way it left Herbert Hartge @hartge



Also finally the long awaited bigger air-filter from K&N is in, because the smaller filter was OK for lower speeds, but on the German Autobahn it worked as a restrict-or at high speeds and longer full blasts, so here the results of before en after the fittings;




This looks much cleaner end fresh and bigger so less restrictions at high speed...go go go Hartge

Here the first picture is the old before and under the changes made




I also looked if I could open the side wings in the engine hood but that's not possible, the construction is for strength on those places...I have a lot of build up pressure at speeds over 270<>310km/h so I have to do something, I take the seal-rubbers out left, right and at the back and replace them for low rubber so there is a little gap were air also can escape, the next mission

That mission is also completed now much better also better looking

German Autobahn on a free run with a meeting member @ CBR07 we saw on that run 310km/h on the clock, we had a nice day

Here a few nice one's of my "Hartge Z3 coupe 5.0" the one

A guy I know from a forum spotted me around the Ring in Germany(not on the Ring) and heard me coming so he ran to the street and makes this


Then about 2 weeks later @ some runs on a German Autobahn and doing 310 on the speeder he pictured me again and again trees for the car but again mystic the rare monster was seen again in a Flash



Here some others making pictures of the car while doing a car-show;





Some asked me if this very rare one off Hartge is for sale...well not really but when some one giving 75.000,-euro for it it can get another home...considering that's the price a new one(standard BMW Z3 M coupe) cost in the Netherlands its a bargain for the very rare Hartge that cost ed more then 165.000,-euro new or still cost 95.000,-euro on parts and labour when you build one but that one will still be a BMW and not a Hartge...

[GTRene]

I was visiting you-tube and saw a new unknown Hartge movie, so I wonder who's it was...it was me in my car driving away from a opening from a BMW Smudde Dealer in Enschede a employer heard me coming and quickly shoot this short video;

No he was so amazed with that sound he shouted G*D damn...(can't write that here)
He was a employee working to help the people who visit the BMW dealer ship opening with cars and parking-area for visitors and groups, that's also why another employee who has my phone-number sms'd me to ask if I could also come the next day because at 20u they still where talking about my car and would like my car also on a next BMW opening...but I could not come because of CBR07 Germany

Its just on sale, only for the right price, not that I would love to sell but mostly this sort of cars take a year or so to sell to the right buyer and when the price is good I can leave it and use the money for other projects...my goal is set , get my dream-car, put the first real Hartge as a brand in the Netherlands, drove for the first time in my life faster then 300km/h and its the best car I've ever had...but there are lots more to try and can't keep them but I will miss it when this one is gone but its also a responsibility to drive a one of car and I'm a thinker so...one day it will go to another enthusiast

See you and you will hear me that monday when we are there I will drive a little bit so you will hear it and maybe a little run with you to feel and hear it? see you monday.
