KTM X-Bow - www.robson.m3rlin.org
The KTM X-Bow is the first car to be developed by Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM, in partnership with Kiska Design, Audi, and Dallara. The X-Bow uses a turbocharged direct injected TFSI engine manufactured by Volkswagen Group, which produces 177 kilowatts (237 hp) at 5,500 rpm and 310 newton metres (230 lb·ft) of torque between 2,200 and 5,500 rpm.
Originally, KTM planned a production of 500 units per year, however, the company has increased production to 1,000 cars a year and has built a new plant near Graz due to high demand. Click here to read more.. »

Odd like the product of some unlikely union between Picasso’s pencil and a Formula 1 racing team’s software for computational fluid dynamics. Odd like something cleaved from a huge block of carbon fiber with a big, ugly axe. Odd like nothing the automotive world has seen since the Lamborghini Countach. Odd as in good, actually.
It is the 2008 KTM X-Bow, an Austrian-funded, German-powered, Italian-engineered pocket-size supercar. It is what you get if an ambitiously minded European motorcycle manufacturer (KTM) and an open-minded German car manufacturer (Audi) get jiggy in the back of a camper van. And it can be yours in February 2008 for about $50,000.
