KTM X-BOW R In Malaysia Soon

The new KTM X-BOW R is here in Malaysia undergoing Road Transport Ministry Approval. A lot of things have been changed around the carbon monocoque. The engineers did not restrict themselves to improvements to the engine. In fact there have been improvements in all other relevant components to ensure that an optimal performance can be achieved. And that is because the customers had clearly expressed their wishes that the super sports car that many of them want to take to the racing circuit weekend after weekend, should be even more extreme, even faster and even more powerful. This new X-BOW “R” is the result of concentrated further development of this spectacular lightweight sports car. In the rear of the “R” is a 300bhp 2.0 Liter TFSI engine from Audi with a maximum torque of 400 Nm and this ensures an unbelievable driving experience both on and off the racing circuit, because naturally the KTM X-BOW R is homologated for use on the road. This KTM X-BOW R uses a reinforced block which has a bigger turbo, an altered fuel injection system and the engine electronics have been additionally updated by Bosch Engineering Group (BEG). This means that the performance not only increases to 300bhp but also the torque: to be exact 400Nm are set free at 3,300 revs and results in a very smooth torque curve which provides impressive drive in all situations. This was how the KTM X-BOW evolved into the ‘R’ but it was far from complete. For the engineers, the additional power meant that the entire periphery – from the engine mounting to the suspension had to be reviewed. And that is why, in addition to the engine, very many other parts of the vehicle were either changed or completely newly constructed. Watch for its sales introduction on this website. Possible final selling price is estimated at RM400,000.00 (final price will be confirmed in a few months).
