KTM X-bow (image curtesy wheels24
KTM has released the first official information sketches of sporty two-seater, the X-bow, that is to be launched at the 2007 Geneva Motor Show.
According to the motorcycle maker the roadster will be a "bridge between motorcycle and car."
KTM is well-known for its rally bikes and the X-bow will take it into a new direction, creating a fresh niche at the sane time.
It appears as if the X-bow will only offer minimal protection against the weather but safety will be important - there are two massive roll bars behind the seats.
It will also be super fast since it will have a curb weight of about 700kg and power will come from an Audi engine which will thrust out an expected 160kW. A 220kW version is also on the cards.
Reportedly a limited edition of 100 cars will be produced in 2007.
