KTM X-Bow R: more info revealed

The Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM is working on a seriously upgraded version of its successful X-Bow (Crossbow) race car. If anything goes as planned, soon we will see an X-Bow R with a 30 percent more powerful engine and a set of amenities making the car more comfortable for all-weather driving.



As we have already reported a year ago, the KTM X-Bow R will be equipped with the same 261hp, 2.0-liter FSI engine currently installed in the Audi S3 hot hatchback. The list of options will also include a full height windscreen and a removable hardtop so that the exotic car can be driven in rainy conditions.

The car will presumably be unveiled at the British Motor Show next week.
