KTM X-Bow

According to the July 2 issue of Autocar, KTM isn’t resting on their laurels, and has plans to introduce an even more powerful X-Bow at next spring’s Geneva Motor Show.

The U.K. publication states that the fettled trackday car will be based on a modified version of Audi’s 2.0-liter FSI engine, an engine that has produced as much as 261 horsepower in the S3. Of arguably greater interestis word that the X-Bow is also slated to get the option of a full-height windshield and a removable roof. That should aid greatly in making the X-Bow a more livable proposition, but it will be interesting to see how they negotiate putting a convincing-looking hat on such a minimalist roadster.

Further down the line, other models may join the X-Bow, but KTM evidently promises that a carbon-fiber monocoque will always be part of the formula.

This will make it more palatable, but at what weight cost?

I spoke to a representative at the Festival of Speed at the weekend. They said that they were not looking at a hood for the current model but may consider a hood for a future model to join the X-Bow.

It also looked 'visually' a bit over weight compared to the likes of a Caterham or Arial Atom. Why bother making it out of carbon then giving it a very wide cockpit and an unnecessary side pod structure....all weight. Also would be better if your arse was closer to the rear wheels and while I'm at it, will there be enough weigth up front to give the front wheels grip in the rain.

It may be the Alfa Romeo of the track day world....all show and no balls.

Jup a nice car and the X-Bow dominates the FIAGT4.

Here are some pictures from the race in Monza http://www.reiter-engineering.com/2008/05/gallery-fia-gt4-in-monza/ and a info http://www.reiter-engineering.com/2008/07/fia-gt4-two-wins-for-catharina... about the last race in Oschersleben, where Catahrina Felser (Reiter Engineering Driver) has won 2 of the 3 races.

Rofl at "Vector Aeromotive Corporation" -- but that's a bonafide American-made supercar. Bravo Gerry (or stockholders)!

I am the only one who seriously adores this thing?
