KTM has unleashed the most powerful X-Bow ever. The new R version will feature an Audi sourced engine from the S3, but while the engine delivers 265 HP in the S3, it has been tuned to provide 300 HP for the X-Bow R.
The X-Bow R features a considerably lower positioning and a modified mounting of the engine that will lead to even higher cornering speeds and increased driving precision. If KTM receives enough interest, they will offer two road legal and homologated packages: a ?Sport? version and a ?Race? package, which is optimized for track use.
The packages each include a vast number of completely new developed parts, which increase the performance of the car dramatically. Many of these parts will be also available separately in the PowerParts program, so all current KTM X-BOW owners will enjoy the benefit of the new developments.
UPDATE 05/20/11: The KTM X-Bow R has made its debut on the Red Bull Ring in the presence of national and international motorsports personalities. At the event, it showed exactly what it is capable of, giving the company a grand opportunity to provide some more images for us to ogle.
More details on the KTM X-Bow R after the jump.
