Produced by Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM, the X-Bow ("crossbow") is an ultra-light sports car designed for road and race use. The X-Bow was the first car in the KTM product range and was launched in 2008. The X-Bow was developed alongside Kiska Design, Audi, and Dallara. It uses a turbocharged four-cylinder 2.0 litre Audi factory supplied engine . The standard 2008 model produces 237 hp and can accelerate from 0-62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.9 seconds with a top speed of 217 km/h (134.9 mph). While it drives like a pure racing car it is still a viable proposition as a hard core' road car in favourable weather!
This particular car was supplied new in 2008 and has had just 4 private owners from new. The car is road registered, fully serviced, taxed and with an MOT until November 2012. The factory fitted extras when new included: the carbon pack (all body panels, full floor, fenders, rear spoiler, diffuser and side pods), a limited slip differential, multi-function instrument display, sports suspension (WP 3 way remote adjustable dampers with ride height adjusters), quick shift gear change and centre wheel nut lock option.
It received a further engine upgrade that gave the engine 300 bhp engine. This was undertaken by the specialist firm of 'Backdraft' which also included a Revo stage 1 ECU upgrade, uprated charge cooler, a Piper air filter upgrade along with various other modifications including Carlin Motorsport lowered push rod suspension and a quick-shift gear linkage.
The car has only covered 8325 miles in total. It comes complete with a manual 6-speed gearbox, removable multi-function steering wheel, keyless ignition, reach adjustable foot pedals and a racing 4-point harness. This car offers exceptional value for money at virtually half of its current new cost today. The highly appropriate 'cherished' registration number "X30 KTM" is included with this lot.
