![]() ![]() Of course, both models remain absolutely faithful to the DNA of the original KTM X-BOW: Radical, puristic, precise, performance driven. The KTM X-Bow (pronounced crossbow) is an ultra-light sports car manufactured by Austrian automotive manufacturer KTM. ![]() On this basis, the KTM X-BOW GTX and GT2 models are able to compete against high-profile super sport cars in terms of power-to-weight-ratio, cornering speed, stopping distance, top speed and, last but not least, lap times - whether it’s on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, in professional racing or during track days. KTM Sportcar GmbH continues to count on its reliable partner Michelin for this model of the KTM X-BOW. Alongside superior technology, the new models are obviously making an extraordinary statement on design: A race car, as pure as a race car can be. It’s the first GT racing car to combine a homologated monocoque with a homologated GT rollcage and a carbon fibre competition seat. Keeping the focus on the essentials (weight reduction, performance, aerodynamics, handling), they provide numerous new technical highlights, increased ergonomics and usability as well as an almost revolutionary safety standard. The super sportscar is the ideal lightweight and high-performance car for true individualists who want to experience untamed dynamics, radical design and pure enthusiasm in everyday life as well. The car’s low centre of gravity, coupled with the kind of aerodynamics and agile handling usually only seen on the racetrack, make the KTM X-BOW GT-XR a super sportscar that genuinely is "READY TO RACE".Performance and purism, united in a unique, extreme design, and armed for adventures on the most legendary racetracks in the world, the KTM X-BOW GTX & GT2 will set new benchmarks in racing. The KTM X-BOW GT-XR is the closest you can get to a purebred race car in a road-legal vehicle. Vortices generated by the front spoiler and routed around the floor create a seal of air underneath the car and enhance the aerodynamic effect even further. The rear unit is a two-piston, fixed-calliper brake with a diameter of 262 mm. The Brembo brake system employs a four-piston, fixed-calliper brake on the front axle, with an internally ventilated, slotted disc measuring 305 mm in diameter. The unique "AirCurtain" system in a road-legal car has been developed to create an aerodynamic ground effect that helps the car stick to the road. The KTM X-Bow (pronounced crossbow) is an ultra-light sports car manufactured by Austrian automotive manufacturer KTM.A company known for their production of motorcycles, the X-Bow was the first mass-produced car in their product range and was unveiled and launched at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008. To counteract its extreme driving power, the KTM X-BOW R offers the same level of braking power. From the wedge-like body shape and the sleek and streamlined front surface of the car to the aerodynamically optimised wheel suspension, a floor section designed to maximise ground effect and the rear diffusor and large rear wing, every effort has gone into achieving the maximum amount of downforce at the lowest possible air resistance. The aerodynamics of the KTM X-BOW GT-XR are clearly derived from the highly successful KTM X-BOW GT2, with the designers paying close attention to optimal aerodynamic efficiency. ![]()
