Famed motorcycle manufacturer KTM made their first venture into the 4-wheel market with the X-Bow roadster, it started off with the Dallara series which had a very limited production run of just 100 units. The high demand for the vehicle saw the manufacturer then produce a full production version that would target up to 1000 sales per year. When this announcement was made, they already had a backlog of 600 orders to complete so it comes as little surprise that an even more powerful version is in the pipelines and rumours state it could be set for its worldwide debut at the British Motor Show next week.
Power is set to come from Audi's 261hp 2.0-liter FSI engine that is currently employed in the sporty S3. Additionally the X-bow is set to get an optional full height windscreen and removable hard-top which will enhance the day to day usability of the vehicle.
According to reports, KTM also has plans to increase its single model portfolio with a new low cost city car and even an SUV.
