The prices and equipment for the first sports cars from KTM have now been set: The standard model of the KTM X-Bow, with its avant-garde carbon fibre monocoque, will cost £31,650 (excl. VAT and delivery charges).
This price reflects the increased levels of standard equipment compared with the initial tentative plans on equipment and price. Now, even the standard model will have a higher-performance engine than originally planned: instead of 162 kW (220 PS), the 2.0 TFSI engine by Audi will achieve 176 kW (240 PS).
In addition, the chassis with damper elements that are adjustable for tension and pressure, will be standard equipment.
Production of the KTM X-Bow will begin in Spring 2008 with a special series limited to 100 vehicles.
This "KTM X-Bow Dallara" premium series has additional equipment including a mechanical limited slip differential on the rear axle, central wheel locks, and a racing chassis, which also has springs with adjustable preliminary tension.
Also standard in this premium vehicle are a whole series of carbon fibre components: the carbon aerodynamic kit, the carbon performance kit and the carbon design kit.
Delivery of the vehicles will be made via the KTM central office in Mattighofen, where the seats, which are available in three different sizes, will also be adjusted. On request, the KTM X-Bow will also be available for order via delivery partners in selected countries.
The next opportunity for customers and enthusiasts to view the KTM X-Bow will be at the International Automobile Exhibition in Frankfurt.
There, the sports car will be a guest star at the booth of Austrian automotive supplier Polytec Holding AG, which will, among other things, manufacture cladding parts for the KTM X-Bow. Booth A14 will be in Hall 6.1.
