^ They make an "RR" version now!
X-Bow R
KTM bills the X-Bow R as a 21st century spin on Lotus founder Colin Chapman's mantra of "light is right." The car is built for the track and it does away with nearly all of the creature comforts found in the GT model including the windshield, which makes it necessary for both passengers to wear a helmet.
The aforementioned 2.0-liter TFSI has been pushed to 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque for use in the R model. Power is again transferred to the rear wheels via a six-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential, and the 1,741-pound R reaches 62 mph from a stop in 3.9 seconds.
X-Bow RR
As its name loosely implies, the RR is the most extreme configuration of the X-Bow. It retains the R's TFSI mill but how many ponies it generates depends on what specification is ordered by the buyer. All models regardless of horsepower come standard with a high-performance radiator to cope with the extra power.
The RR also adds forged central-locking wheels that reduce unsprung weight, an adjustable suspension on both axles and extra aerodynamic bits such as a large rear spoiler and a double front splitter.
The car tips the scale at 1,785 pounds with an aluminum subframe and buyers can order a tubular subframe at an extra cost.
The RR can be entered in the X-Bow Battle, KTM's exclusive one-make race series.
