Manufacturer Press Release
|
An aggressive design and sporty potential: the X-Bow is not merely a milestone in the KTM brand¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s more than 50-year history, it¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s also a new citation in the small, but elite segment of radical, lightweight sports cars.
This exceptional position is the result of the concept: for their first car, KTM employs the finest materials, high-tech and the know-how of respected development partners such as Audi and Dallara.
The result is a street-homologated sports car with racing technology, like an avantgarde, carbon fibre monocoque.
Thanks to the basic version¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?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.
But the X-Bow isn¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?t just a racing machine, even if it is going to accomplish spectacular performance feats on racing circuits.
With its modern technologies and exceptional solutions, it¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s much more oriented towards sporty drivers who seek a purist¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s driving experience. By foregoing electronic assistants and today¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s standard comfort features, the X-Bow offers an unfiltered adventure - aided by its standalone wheels in the style of monoposto racing cars, transparent technology and the car¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s reduced concept, i.e. no roof, doors or windscreen.
The sports car has only a 70-millimeter, transparent wind deflector. With all these unique features, driving the KTM X-Bow becomes an experience with an immediacy that otherwise can only be felt when riding a motorcycle.
KTM was able to gain Audi AG as its partner in developing the drive unit. The four-cylinder TFSI engine represents the X-Bow¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s construction principles in an ingenious way: by featuring lightweight, high-performance and intelligent technologies.
The engine¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s outstanding attribute is its gasoline direct injection technology, FSI. In this case, it¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s combined with an exhaust turbocharger plus an intercooler. Thanks to FSI, the engine can utilize fuel better than one with ordinary intake manifold injection and it even gets by on less fuel in the frequently used partial load range.
The KTM X-Bow¢®E¡ËcE¡Ë¢çEc?s long-stroking, four-valve engine delivers a powerful performance: 221 lb-ft of torque peaks at a level between 2200 and 4000 rpm. The peak performance of 220 bhp is achieved at 5900 rpm. Even more powerful engine variations in the 300-horsepower range are planned at a later date.
The drive unit package is complemented by a manual 6-gear transmission, which is also made by VW and can be equipped with a limited-slip differential if so desired. An optional S tronic transmission will also be offered. The drive comes from the rear wheels.
