The KTM-Bow has been around for quite some time now, and each time one of these completely evil machines show up, heads turn and eyes pop out. That is because seeing a 4-wheeler with the KTM badge is one thing not everyone is expecting, and seeing the edgy, infinitely evil design cues of the X-Bow is only making things even more intriguing.
What was first thought to be a car powered by the RC98 racing version of the LC8 engine finally turned out to be equipped by an Audi power unit. And in case you see too many similarities between the X-Bow and the sharp looks of the KTM big bikes… that is because it has been created by the same design house which makes the most intriguing Orange Power machines: Kiska.

The pictured KTM X-Bow is in fact owned by Gerald Kiska, the big guy who founded the design company. Far from its stock trim, Kiska’s X-Bow is a heavily-tuned racing version he uses regularly. Now, go take a closer look at the KTM 1290 Super Duke R and back to this X-Bow. Things start making some sense, don’t they?

This X-Bow is dirty and doesn’t look like the shiny, immaculate vehicles you’ll find between the covers of glossy magazines. That is, because Mr. Kiska was just back from putting in some laps with this KTM.
