KTM's wild, bare bones X-Bow will be available to American buyers next year, but the Austrian firm won't need to bother with installing license plate holders for the track-oriented cars.

After weeks of intensive testing, and the release of some teaser shots, Austrian firm KTM has signed off on development of a new GT4-spec race car based on its X-Bow track machine. The new race car is called the “X-Bow GT4”, and it’s been developed together with Reiter...

As far as road-going roofless track cars go, the KTM X-Bow is in a very exclusive class, kept company primarily by the Ariel Atom and the BAC Mono. While many of these are designed to be street legal, until now owners needed to use a helmet even when driving around town. KTM’s latest version...

A new, more livable version of KTM’s hardcore X-Bow track car made its debut last week at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. Called the X-Bow GT, the latest model from the Austrian motorcycle expert comes with a windshield, doors and removable soft-top roof designed to enable drivers to use the...

The KTM X-Bow is an unflinchingly stripped-down track car that coincidentally happens to be street legal. The latest iteration of the X-Bow, the GT, makes that street aspect of its use a bit more tolerable--but only a bit. Rumors of just such a car have been circulating for over a year now, but...

As if the standard X-Bow weren't track-ready enough, KTM has decided to release its ex-works X-Bow 'Race' models from FIA GT4 competition for private sale. Sold as ready-to-race privateer cars, the new X-Bows aren't monstrous, V8-powered fire-breathers, but rather finely tuned and honed cars for...

Previous statements to the contrary notwithstanding, the U.S. arm of KTM is working hard to bring the X-Bow track-day weapon to the U.S. The goal is to get a street-legal version of the car on the roads once all regulatory hurdles are cleared, but so far no firm commitment or target date has been...

One of the best methods of improving the handling of a car is to reduce weight. That’s why it’s not a surprise these days to see motorcycle companies developing sport cars; after all they know a thing or two about weight. The latest incarnation of these sports cars is the KTM X-Bow. The...
