RE: KTM X-Bow GT: revealed

[Steamer]

This is some kids GCSE Technology project that got out of hand isnt it?!

[Boydie88]

Stunning cars, the windscreen has destroyed the looks though

[Ceylon]

And they found a midget to drive it and make it look a lot bigger.... not better though.

[DMC2]

That looks like something my 4 year old son built out of lego

google lotus 340r to see how it should be done

Google 340r to see how they should have added doors to the X-Bow..??

That doesn't quite work, does it... On account of the 340r not having.. well.. y'know... Doors!

It would certainly look better with a window that wasn't near vertical though, hideous.

It looks amazing, but why use the VAG engine? Possibly the least interesting engine on the market to tune for this application.

"Tonight.... On Top Gear... We take the X-Bow to the Top Gear Technology Centre and after I hit it with a hammer for a bit, we came up with THIS!"

"And now here's James rolling his eyes and sighing while Hammond gurns into the camera like a 12 year old shooting his custard,"

[TinyCappo]

Give me the stratospherica over this anyday!

[cheddar]

This hasn't gone well......

[mybrainhurts]

Errrrr.....oh

[SAndals]

Wow... this had to be an first for PH.

Complete agreement from just about everyone on the looks of a car.

Yup. And I love the (normal) XBOW.

[IDrinkPetrol]

That is really impressive.
I struggle to believe that they took something so ugly and made it look so much worse.

Somebody: give KTM a prize.

[ayseven]

What's next, air conditioning and a Bose stereo? The answer is no, no, and finally no.

They must be doing this to drum up business. I thought the old one looked pretty good, til I saw the price and lost a lot of interest. The BAC Mono on the other hand...

[bobberz]

Wow, that's not a very elegant solution, is it?!

I love how they call it a "GT"!

[DS240]

I really liked the xbow when it was launched, but it was always too expensive in my opinion. Adding doors and that screen I don't think will really broaden the appeal for someone who was considering it. A toy like that holds appeal for being that little bit more compromised.

I do get the impression this hasn't sold that well.

Atom or certainly the Mono would be my first choice if I were to have a track toy like these. The mono has gone a bit quiet since the initial launch though. Expected more magazine space from it.

[British Beef]

Ugly almost beyond belief, from every single angle.

This design definately deserves an award for lack of styling!!!!!
