![]() The spectacular "Jetfighter Canopy" of the KTM X-BOW GT4 will also cause a stir on the KTM X-BOW GTX. Thanks to individually adaptable paddings, the shell is adaptable to every driver, and a homologated six-point racing harness from Schroth is standard as well. Together with partner Recaro, KTM has developed a competition seat made out of carbon-kevlar, which, in combination with the GT rollcage and carbon monocoque, establishes the extremely high safety standard of the KTM X-BOW GTX. Newly designed and homologated according to FIA Appendix J, the GT roll cage withstands the multiple weight of the vehicle in the rollover pressure test and now also has side struts in the monocoque as well as a full cross behind the driver's seat. The survival cell of the KTM X-BOW which has been tried and tested a dozen times since 2008 and has been built more than 1,300 times is extremely stiff and safe but weighs just around 80 kilograms. You can find a detailed overview of the complete technical highlights of the KTM X-BOW GTX (available from 230,000 EUR net) below. In conjunction with the 120 litre FT3 safety tank, the KTM X-BOW GTX drives further respectively longer than the competition on every track day, but also on every long-distance race, and the low weight naturally also reduces wear and tear and thus the running costs significantly. This reduces the power-to-weight ratio to less than 2.0 kilograms (1.98 to be exact) and offers the greatest possible efficiency thanks to the lowest possible fuel consumption. With the KTM X-BOW GTX we can combine these two wishes in the best possible way.” For maximum performance, the KTM X-BOW GTX, which weighs only 1,048 kilograms, is powered by the ultra-modern 2.5 litre five-cylinder turbo engine from Audi, developing 530 hp. ![]() In addition to the desire for the fastest lap time, the desire for the greatest possible safety is always at the top of the priority list for all pilots. ![]() ![]() KTM Sportcar GmbH Managing Director Michael Wölfling: “With the new KTM X-BOW GTX, we are targeting ambitious track day pilots as well as semi-professional and professional racing drivers. In addition, the driver sits in a Recaro competition seat, developed according to "Advanced Seat" criteria. Especially in terms of safety, efficiency and detailed technological solutions, we see a real revolution, apart from the design and the incredible manufacturing quality of the carbon fibre chassis."Ībove all, the safety concept of the KTM X-BOW GTX sets new standards: It combines the tried and tested carbon fibre monocoque of the KTM X-BOW, the basic concept of which is based on a Formula 3 monocoque, with the safety of a full-fledged roll cage, GT homologated according to FIA Appendix J. Our new car is not only beautiful, it is trendsetting in all areas. There and there, the new KTM X-BOW GTX will definitely be the most spectacular, beautiful and technologically advanced vehicle, KTM board member Hubert Trunkenpolz is convinced: “Together with Hans Reiter and his development team, our engineers have set a new standard for full carbon racing cars with the KTM X-BOW GTX. In close cooperation with the aerodynamic specialists and technicians of development partner Reiter Engineering, a breath taking, aerodynamically perfect and technologically revolutionary racing car with a ground-breaking safety concept was created, which is just as ideal for track days as it is for professional use in racing. The full carbon fibre racing car from KTM Sportcar GmbH impresses with its unique, spectacular design, which - like the original model of the KTM X-BOW, which has been on the market since 2008 - it owes to the designers at KISKA. The new KTM X-BOW GTX is officially unveiled. Legendary Audi five-cylinder combines maximum performance and attractive downsizing.Sensational power to weight ratio of 1.98 kg through 1,048 kilograms and 530 hp.Ground-breaking safety thanks to the combination of carbon monocoque and GT roll cage.Unique, spectacular design meets the most modern technological solutions.
