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. Wards Auto reports that KTM will build about 15 American-specification X-Bows next year, none of which will be...

We don’t know the story behind this video but we think you’ll agree it doesn’t need one. There’s just a Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] LaFerrari, KTM 1290 Super Duke and some rope. Oh, and all three elements are attached to one another. It’s time for vehicular tug of war...

KTM's track-tuned machines aren't exactly softies to begin with, but the new X-Bow Black Edition takes things to an entirely new level. With a body constructed entirely of carbon fiber, the new Black Edition ushers in a new era of lightweight performance for the brand. The composite material is...

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...

German racing driver Christophe Haase has taken a KTM X-Bow RR around the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife in a brisk 7:25.72, and while the car he was piloting is in fact a racing version of the KTM X-Bow, his achievement is still very impressive as you’ll see in this video. It shows...

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 Lotus 2-Eleven. However, at the end of the day, its design is a little too impractical for regular use on public roads, especially in colder climates...

Last fall we brought you a preview of the coming KTM X-Bow R, and, finally, it's launched. What does that mean? It means 300 horsepower from a Audi-sourced 2.0-liter TFSI powerplant packed into a lighter, sharper version of the already light and sharp X-Bow chassis. Unfortunately, in the U.S., the...

The 2011 Geneva Motor Show is just around the corner and speculation of some of the show’s surprise unveilings are starting to seriously heat up. The latest is rumor of a new sports car concept from Alfa Romeo dubbed the 4C GTA Coupe. While news of the 4C’s existence is nothing new...

As far as streetable open-track cars go, the KTM X-Bow is in a very exclusive class, kept company primarily by the Ariel Atom and the Lotus 2-Eleven. But KTM is planning to up the ante with a new model: the race-bred 2011 KTM X-Bow R. KTM is still in the process of developing the car. The major...

Even with race-bred GT4 cars and customer track cars, the KTM hasn't been able to preserve interest.

If you want to go fast around a track, chances are you already know about the KTM X-Bow - but you may not know about the four new variants introduced today in Geneva. Even as the model range expands, however, KTM is drawing back production to meet the receding market. The familiar KTM X-Bow is now...

Track lovers and auto geeks are intimately familiar with KTM's X-Bow, its raucous design the embodiment of a four-wheeled space craft. Now the company is promising two new models and a tiered lineup for its automotive range. The prospect of what could be a more affordable and an even...

Taking things to extremes is what car modification houses do best, so starting with the already extreme KTM X-Bow is, to a certain eye, an obvious thing to do. The tuners at ABT think it's not just obvious, but commendable, and have done just that, tweaking the track-day special to yield een more...
