KTM’s first foray into the world of vehicles with four wheels rather than two is making its UK motor show debut this month.
The company is famous for its bikes but the KTM will be its first move into the four-wheeled market.
The vehicle has a carbon fibre chassis and a four-cylinder FSI turbo engine from Audi, using a similar approach to the Ariel Atom.
It has already been seen at the Geneva motor show but its appearance at the Autosport International Racing Car Show, which partners the PistonHeads Show, is a UK first.
The event takes place at Birmingham’s NEC from 10-13 January.
The X-Bow will be shown in new optional ‘Gleaming White’ bodywork and series production scheduled to begin in Graz, Austria during 2008.
KTM says customer orders for the 2.0 litre X-Bow are exceeding all expectations.
Series production of the car is scheduled to commence with a run of 100 limited-edition ‘Dallara Series’ models.
The special ‘Dallara Series’ will feature extra equipment to boost the track-day sporty potential of X-bow.
Subsequently, KTM will produce up to 1000 X-Bow sportscars per year.
