The KTM X-Bow Superlight is one of the variants of the KTM X-Bow
model range. As the name suggests the Superlight is the lightest
model in the range - but not by much, the base model KTM X-Bow is just 5 kg (11 lbs) heavier. Although the
Superlight is a full 40 kg (88 lbs) lighter than the GT4 version.
The weight reductions to the KTM X-Bow Superlight have been
made possible through the extensive use of carbon fibre. The
monocoque structure with integrated crash protection is composed
entirely of carbon fibre and left unpainted to show of the carbon
fibre weave. The few body panels which are fitted to the X-Bow
Superlight are also formed from carbon fibre. Additional weight
savings were also achieved through the use of unique light-alloy
wheels finished in a dark lacquer.
Powering the KTM X-Bow Superlight is the same Audi-sourced 2.0
litre turbocharged engine found in all the X-Bow models. This
engine puts out 240 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 310 Nm of torque
at 2,000 - 5,500 rpm.
Features of the KTM X-Bow Superlight:
- Smooth racing sport underbody with front splitter and rear
diffusor made from carbon composite
- Individually adjustable pedals
- Adjustable and removable multifunction steering wheel
- "Keyless Go" system
- Performance suspension, torsion and pressure adjustable with
preload-adjuster
- Limited-slip differential
