    Default KTM X-Bow

    I suspect this is a repost, but holy crap!

    1,500 lbs. 220hp. Lots of carbon fiber.



    Cancel your Westfield order, Titus, you need one of these instead...

    Too lazy to look. Price?

    I'd imagine it's more comparable to the Atom than a $20k Westfield.
    ...and across the line.

    €40k (I'm too lazy to spell Euro)
    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.

    Not too lazy to do the conversion.

    €40k = $52,579.84

    So I could get a Westfield and a NC or one of these? Hmmm...

    Granted it's a cool car. If I were looking at a Lotus Elise as a track only car, I'd have to also look really hard at this one too. First things first. I need to win the lottery.

    With as much power as an Exige S and 500 pounds less mass (plus a claimed 440 lbs of downforce at 120mph! ), this thing would run circles around an Elise... and probably anything else you'd encounter at a track day except perhaps a Radical SR8.

    Don't forget that $52k is the price for one of the initial 100, which includes carbon bodywork, adjustable dampers, limited slip, central lug wheels, F1-style steering wheel with integral instrument cluster, etc. It sounds like they are seriously considering offering a lower spec version without all of this stuff as standard equipment in '08.

    No mention of US availability though...

    I think that might be better built than the atom just by looking at it. The lights don't look as flimsy
    Blah blah blah!

    I've been drooling since I ran across this car in the first slew of photos out of the Geneva show yesterday... First time I've had that reaction to a car since I was 15.
    Maybe 4 wheels aren't so bad after all... wickett.org
