KTM X-Bow - New Lightweight Sports Car

Post by sheeza » Apr 04, 2008 Views: 3516

The prototype of a new lightweight sports car at the coming Geneva Motor Show: the X-Bow.

This compact, purist two-seater will have a carbon fibre chassis and a modern four-cylinder FSI turbo engine from Audi.

Thanks to the basic version’s light weight and the 162 kW (220 hp) Audi TFSI engine, the performance values of the KTM X-Bow outstrip those of super-sport cars with more than twice the power: with a deadweight of approx. 700 kilos, the KTM X-Bow accelerates to 100 kph in just 3.9 seconds.



The KTM X-Bow will be street homologated in accordance with European small series homologation regulations. But since the respective guidelines are defined differently throughout the EU, KTM currently anticipates standardising the X-Bow in the following countries: Germany, Finland, Greece, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Austria, Portugal and Switzerland.
