Many Phoenix Arizona residents know the feeling of passing a mini amusement park or family fun center on the way home from work, seeing a go kart race, and thinking about just how fun driving was as a kid on that track.\u00a0 That fun and sense of competition and thrill is what Austrian auto manufacturer KTM is seeking to reinvigorate in it\u2019s adult customers.<\/p>\n

For almost 80 years Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts have known the Austrian company for it\u2019s dirt bikes, street bikes, and mopeds.\u00a0 In the past few years, however, the manufacturer has branched out in the race car category with the open air KTM X-Bow.\u00a0 The result of this branching out is a street-legal sports car with pure-bred racing technology, such as an avantgarde, carbon fiber monocoque, which is now standard equipment in Formula 1 racing because of the weight and safety advantages it offers.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the basic version\u2019s light weight and the 177 kW (240 hp) Audi 2.0 TFSI engine, the KTM X-BOW sets new standards and outstrips supersport cars: with a weight of approx. 1738 lbs, the KTM X-BOW accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just over 3 seconds.\u00a0 With all of this, its fuel consumption and pollution emissions are comparable to those of a compact car with a high-quality engine.<\/p>\n

Phoenix Valley auto enthusiasts should be aware that KTM is still seeking a distribution partnership in the US for stateside sales of X-Bow.\u00a0 Phoenix Arizona residents should expect to likely see the X-Bow at one of the many Scottsdale luxury dealerships relatively soon.\u00a0 Until then, the X-Bow CAN be bought stateside as a kit car from British Racing Group L.L.C., a boutique dealership chain that specializes in locating and selling hard-to-find cars.\u00a0 Of course, when buying a kit car, some assembly is required.<\/p>\n
