  • You Have to See the KTM X-Bow GT Black Edition Before You Watch the New Batman Movie!

    Wimmer RS KTM X-Bow GT Black Edition Front ViewWimmer RS KTM X-Bow GT Black Edition seems like it has just made a great photo-session in Batman’s lair. Take a look in the gallery below and you’ll get my idea, but… it will be the ultimate batmobile, if Batman wasn’t a protagonist but a real-life superhero. The car is setting absolutely new standards when it comes to defining “fully carbon fiber vehicle” and the reason for this is that its whole body is made of the lightweight material. Literally.

    So basically, it sits on a unique monocoque (well-known from the other X-Bow models) and in addition the car is fitted with components in high-tech carbon fiber like the complete underfloor, the bonnet, and the front and rear body parts as well as the wheel arches and engine covers. By the way, the use of aerodynamically optimized parts has helped in achieving the down-force of a Formula racing car.

    The Design

    And how about the design of this unique Black Edition of the KTM X-Bow GT? First, stepping on the basis of the X-BOW GT, the car features additional details that make it really individual. Precisely, it is equipped with the Sticker Kit, which is located on the side of the monocoque and has one-off color. There is a choice of 18- and 19-inch BBS rims, which are also part of the standard equipment.

    The Interior 

    On the inside, the design continues to impress with its detailing and substantial use of carbon fiber. The seats for example are hand-stitched and also include a stamp “BLACK EDITION” on their headrest. Furthermore, the cabin can be proud of suede leather steering wheel with color-coordinated 12-hour markings and matching stitching, right up to the all-aluminum machined gear and hand brake levers as well as the multi-media interface with rear-view camera. The aluminum badge on the center console indicates the production number of this limited special edition car as well as the signature of the employee responsible for the hand-construction of the model.

    WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT Front ViewHere is the WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT. Regardless of its form, drop top or real Gran Turismo, the car is an emanation of a radical design. R and RR are the model series most famous in the X-Bow trim. They stand out immediately and are driven by preference with helmet, because the windshield does not offer any protection. On the contrary, the GT variant of the X-Bow has a windshield made of heatable laminated safety glass. The side windows of the car are also the doors of the KTM X-Bow GT in the same time.

    The serial power of the KTM X-Bow GT stands proud with 300 HP (220 kW) and 420 Newton meters (310 lb-ft), making it possible for the model to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (60 mph) within 4.1 seconds.

    The driving experience wouldn’t be satisfying if there weren’t the exclusive aerodynamics. The flat three-part racing sports underbody, overtaken from formula racing cars, provides grandiose aerodynamics.

    In addition, the racing sports push-rod chassis on front axle has adjustable pressure and rebound, is delivered by the WP Suspensions Company, while the braking is ensured by the Brembo braking system that works behind tires of 17 inches on front and 18 inches on rear axle.

    The aluminum roll-over bars, which have been integrated into the monocoque, grand optimal protection too by resisting against up to 2.5 times the vehicle’s weight. Extra safety comes from the crash box on the car’s nose, which has carbon-aluminum-sandwich construction.

    So, how about a ride in the snow? Don’t forget your helmet!
