A radical, puristic, lightweight sports car, the KTM X-BOW is one of the most fascinating automobiles currently in existence. A carbon fibre monocoque, double triangular wishbone suspension, pushrod suspension elements – the chassis technology is directly derived from formula racing.
Yet this mid-engine roadster can easily be road homologated, thanks in part to Audi’s state-of-the-art engine technology. The 240 hp in the 2.0-liter, TFSI, four-cylinder engine accelerate the X-BOW to 100 km/h in just 3.9 seconds; and at a weight of only 790 kilograms, plus the incomparable aerodynamic down force (up to 200 kg), it achieves incredible cornering speeds (lateral acceleration of up to 1.8 G!). But in order to experience this kind of performance, one should care for the KTM X-BOW in a “species appropriate” manner and let it run wild where it was born: on the racetrack!
“Ride Orange”, the exclusive driving programme developed by KTM, is certain to offer just what you’re looking for: devoted hobby racers can experience the “Battle” racing feeling on the best racetracks in central Europe, and ambitious owners (or potential ones) will get excellent race driving instruction on the “Race Orange” course, while the 36 Passes Tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to drive the X-BOW along the most beautiful roads the Alps have to offer. And for all those who are still in search of the perfect thrill, the “Ride Orange” team also offers plenty of exclusive customer and company events.
