KTM X-BOW: The high-performance sports car racing into the future
“KTM X-BOW has always had ready to race in the DNA”
In this episode of Third Angle, we go behind the scenes at KTM, an Austrian manufacturer at the forefront of racing excellence. Their X-BOW series is a sports car which contains all of the innovation and design features of a modern racing car.
Join us as we learn all about the X-BOW, with its iconic jet fighter canopy, five-cylinder engine, removable steering wheel and carbon fibre monocoque. The cars are manufactured in Austria by hand, with only 100 cars made per year - plus they are customisable, with the owner able to choose the colour and stitching to provide the ultimate unique product. For safety and sustainability, carbon fibre is used. This not only protects the driver from potential impact, and allows the car to weigh less and focus on lightweight technology.
