“The North American specification KTM X-Bow is classified as a special construction vehicle by the EPA, NHSTA and state departments of transportation. As such, it is sold without engine and transaxle,” British Racing Group says.
The company has also released the tech specs of the KTM X-Bow, but not without mentioning that the engines and transaxle specified in the document are the suggested drivetrain for North American consumers. It failed to give any pricing details though.
Once fully functional, thanks to the basic version's light weight (about 790 kg / 1,742 lbs) and the 240 hp Audi 2.0 TFSI engine, the KTM X-Bow will be able to accelerate to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.9 seconds.
“And its fuel consumption and pollution emissions are comparable to those of a compact car with a high-quality engine,” a company statement reads. “Driving the KTM X-Bow becomes an experience with an immediacy that otherwise can only be felt when driving a motorcycle or a Formula 1 racecar.”
