If the Austrian manufacturer KTM announced a new lightweight X-Bow road car built back in 2006, it stunned the gathered journalists with its looks and design. KTM has already had a good reputation in the production of motorcycles endurance, where there are already several rally events, especially the demanding Paris-Dakar rally, but had dominated the company has now built his attention to producing high light road cars. The X-Bow is KTM's try to diversify and expand their business in light of the declining number of bicycle licenses in Europe, and certainly when the first cars were published in 2008, who KTM famous orange and black racing colors, it was easy to see that they had begun their design from a blank sheet of paper.

Quite simply the KTM X-Bow looks like no other vehicle on the road today, with all its carbon fiber tub, exposed suspension components, rectangular shaped body and twin rollover tires, this is a car that will surely you noticed. In fact, this is not a car for shy and retiring types, although because the X-Bow is missing a windshield, it could drive you to wear a helmet for extra protection and privacy. Power for the X-Bow is in the shape of the Audi 2-liter FSI engine that produces a claimed 237bhp, although rumors suggest that these cars actually left the plant with a lot closer to 300 hp. With a total empty weight of only 800kg KTM's claimed 0-60 time in under 4 seconds seems quite plausible, as well as an additional 200kg produced by the body at 124 miles per hour output.

As you would expect from a motorcycle manufacturer, simplicity of design is paramount, there is no ignition key to fire up the engine just an electronic key ring that you keep in your pocket and a pinch of integrated starter button. While instead of an ordinary instrument binnacle there is only one centrally mounted rubber LCD panel, which asks challenging you ready, every time is turned on Race. When it comes to driver and front passenger seat is the simple answer is not, instead it is put blocks of foam in strategic locations in the cabin and adjustable pedals and a removable steering wheel. In his class only to the Ariel Atom or Caterham R500 to keep the handling and performance with the X-Bow, and of which only two candidates, the exposed skeleton shaped chassis of the Ariel Atom's appearance has to compete. But at the time must all extras are the X-Bow as the F1 steering wheel, adjustable suspension, xenon headlights and carbon fiber bottom it can double as much as the Ariel Atom costs and to be honest that's already been taken for a price a street athletes are expected to pay for used only on weekends in summer.
