KTM recently pulled the wraps from its all-new X-Bow, a marvel of carbon-fibre, Kevlar and aggressive aerodynamics. And while this new, one-tonne, turbo-powered beast may well be the future of KTM’s four-wheelers, the Austrian marque has a history of excellent X-Bows.
Climb aboard this X-Bow RR as it takes on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, in direct competition with a Porsche GT3. Driven by YouTuber M Yuste, it flies around the Green Hell at a hell of a pace, reaching speeds in excess of 140mph, and withstanding approaching 2G of force.
Watch from an excellent angle behind the cockpit as Yuste hustles the aggressive car with ease and listen to its 2.0-litre engine purr in accord. If the last edition is this good, we can’t wait to see the next.
