The 2200-pound KTM XBow GTX Gets 600 Horsepower From An Audi 5-Cylinder.
KTM famous for building motorcycles , Austria’s only native automaker, has unveiled the X-Bow GTX.
12 years ago, motorcycle manufacturer KTM‘s CEO Stefan Pierer introduced the brand’s first-ever car to the world at the 2008 Geneva Auto Show, and since then, more than 1,300 of the KTM X-BOW racers have been sold. And now, more than a decade on, the brand has decided to revisit its design, bringing welcome upgrades to modernize the vehicle.
KTM hasn’t announced full specs yet, but it says the new car will be about 2,200 pounds and will have more than 600 horsepower. Under the hood will be a 2.5-liter five-cylinder TFSi engine sourced from Audi Sport.
KTM plans to make the first 20 vehicles available this year. Once the car goes through homologation, it will join Audi and Porsche in the GT2 racing series. KTM is also planning a one-make cup series for the car starting in 2021.
