KTM X-Bow
The sporty KTM X-Bow, which was only supposed to be sold in in Europe and Asia only, will now be imported to North America. The street legal KTM X-Bow is designed to offer the performance of a bike in a four-wheeled package, weighs only 700kg (1,543lb) thanks to a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, and rocks a Audi-sourced 2.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 237bhp. X-Bow production started on June 16th with the limited-to-100 Dallara special edition. We don't know how many of those will reach the US or around when sales will start, but 2010 sounds like a good estimate. KTM X-Bow retail for about $70,000 in Europe so expect a similiar price in the states too.
