Collaborating with legendary Italian racing car manufacturer, Dallara, motorcycle manufacturer KTM commenced work on the X-Bow project in 2005 and displayed the first example at the Geneva International Motor Show in 2007. The X-Bow chassis was made of carbon fibre, while the vestigial bodywork seemed to have been designed to reveal rather than conceal the underlying components. Anyone familiar with KTM's Super Duke sports roadster will recognise the look, as both of these seemingly dissimilar vehicles are the work of Gerald Kiska. But rather than use one of its motorcycle engines, KTM chose the VW-Audi Group's 2.0-litre turbocharged TFSI motor. As one might imagine, with 237bhp propelling a lightweight (790kg) chassis, acceleration is spectacular, the 0-62mph dash being accomplished in only 3.9 seconds. Despite its track-focused design, the X-Bow could be road registered; demand swiftly overtook projected sales, leading KTM to establish a new factory dedicated to X-Bow manufacture.
Benefiting from a fresh service and new tyres, this Kuwaiti-registered X-Bow is offered with a NOVA declaration. Finished in orange (but currently wrapped in gloss black) the car comes with KTM helmets and a KTM full car cover. Noteworthy special features include an ECU tune, sports exhaust, and carbon fibre exterior modifications: all by Oakley Design. Please note no registration documents are supplied with this lot.
Please note if this lot is remaining in the EU once purchased, EU import tax will need to be paid at 20%.
