KTM X-Bow in motion


iTunes Download
cool! Cool! COOL CAR! Love this thing, but then I absolutely love this new category of lightweight hyper-sports like the Elise/Exige, Atom, Caparo and now the X-Bow. In many ways I think these all pay homage to the famed Lotus 7, but as a modern rethink of a classic, each is different.. From an F1 car for the street with the Caparo to a Motorcycle with 4 wheels on the KTM. Another great upload by Slick, check it out.

300hp in a 1500 pound car!

Spend ten minutes around me and you'll know one of my favorite cars ever made is the Lotus Exige. Spend twenty minutes and I'll bend your ear about the Ariel Atom, but what comes after that? Somewhere between the silly minimalism of the Ariel (we don't need no sticking roof) and the silly minimalism of the Lotus (we don't need no stinking doors, oh wait we do) comes the new KTM X-Bow.

Left Lane has a whole crop of pictures of this "car"... really more like a 4-wheel motorcycle, but then that's what KTM is known for, right?

Okay folks, I WANT VIDEO OF THIS!
