KTM X-Bow
KTM X-BOW
The first cars are expected to go on sale in Europe late this year and a KTM-sponsored race series for the X-Bow is planned for 2008.
Weighing just 1500 lb., the X-Bow is expected to be blindingly fast. The factory estimates 0-60 mph acceleration of less than 4 seconds. This light weight allows KTM to dispense with such features as power steering; the lack of a windshield means no wipers and the elemental nature of the vehicle itself eliminates the need for electronic driving aids.
Designed as a high-performance piece of sporting equipment, the X-Bow has no doors and features seats fitted with 4-point harnesses?the use of these belts and the crash performance of the carbon-fiber chassis mean that airbags aren?t necessary. In keeping with the extreme nature of the X-Bow, KTM has developed suits and helmets to be used by the vehicle?s two occupants.
