Oh my God! Just been for a ride in KTM x-bow

[Ollie360]

The title says it all really...
It was a Dallara Full Carbon Fibre Edition (2008), It had the Audi 2.0 TFSI motor with direct fuel Injection also it had the Backdraft Exhaust!
Such a nice and very quick car! Lovely colours. Amazing sound!
Super quick through the country roads!
Any way just thought I'd share my experience. For any one looking at them I highly recommend them.

No I was not. Was there one around there?

[DougMcC]

Yep, there were a few cars there where if you paid a tenner you could get a ride in it. The x-bow was one of them!

Did you go for a spin in the X-bow?

Blimey you've been busy.
You're after a Ferrari 360,a Renault RS, and have just been out in a KTM X-bow, the exact spec of which right down to the Dellara bits,is for sale in Surrey, where you reside...

Surely a X308 XJR with a K&N panel filter will be more interesting and much faster?

Only if the timings and compressions have been done.

Are X-Bow's actually any good? The odd time I've met one at a track day it's been like a moving traffic block compared to the usual Caterhams etc. Hard to tell of that's the car or the driver (or both).

Well I'd like to think so!

I followed one at Oulton Park a few weeks ago watching as a couple of Radicals tried to get past it and ending up taking to the grass, that was definitely the driver but I've never seen one go well on track.

Don't, there's a thread from April 2012 that talks of some pirate road in Lincs. and an XJR308 and RS Focus.
