The route we drove was the Monaco Grand Prix track. It wasn\u2019t a normal day though, people lined the streets of the tiny principality thanks to top-class attractions including the Monaco Masters Tennis Tournament and Top Marques. Ask us to drive a track focused car in busy Monte Carlo and we say: Challenge Accepted!<\/p>\n<p>The KTM X-Bow GT was initially previewed at the Geneva Motor Show 2013. It includes many of the specifications seen on previous KTM X-Bow\u2019s including the carbon fiber monocoque, Recaro sports seats, Audi switchgear and a four point safety harness. <\/p>\r\n<div

evolutionary updates that allow a more comfortable experience for owners. The update most notably adds a windshield and doors. In an effort to not intrude on the front section of the car too much, KTM have fitted a near vertical windscreen rather than a low-slung one which certainly complements the boxy shape of the KTM X-Bow. The KTM already looked like a mean little insect but when you open the doors it had miniature wings too!<\/p>\n<p>Under the hood, the KTM X-Bow GT features Audi\u2019s turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit delivering an impressive 281 hp and 309 lb-ft of torque. All this power is sent to the rear wheels via a traditional six-speed manual transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential. When combined with a light curb weight of just 1,867 pounds, the KTM X-Bow GT can sprint to 100 km\/h in just 4.1 seconds and onto a claimed top speed of 143 mph. Our test car was fitted with Michelin stock road tires, which measure 205\/40 R 17 at the front and 255\/35 R18 at the rear. The KTM X-Bow GT can pull 1.5g of lateral acceleration!<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"ngg-galleryoverview\" id=\"ngg-gallery-9560-68518\">\r\n\r\n\r\n\t\r\n\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-135105\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/ktm-x-bow-klein-00020.jpg\" title=\" \" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"set_9560\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00020\" alt=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00020\" src=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/thumbs\/thumbs_ktm-x-bow-klein-00020.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"75\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n \t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-135106\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/ktm-x-bow-klein-00021.jpg\" title=\" \" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"set_9560\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00021\" alt=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00021\" src=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/thumbs\/thumbs_ktm-x-bow-klein-00021.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"75\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n \t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-135107\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/ktm-x-bow-klein-00022.jpg\" title=\" \" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"set_9560\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00022\" alt=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00022\" src=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/thumbs\/thumbs_ktm-x-bow-klein-00022.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"75\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n \t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-135108\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/ktm-x-bow-klein-00023.jpg\" title=\" \" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"set_9560\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00023\" alt=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00023\" src=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/thumbs\/thumbs_ktm-x-bow-klein-00023.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"75\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n \t\t\r\n\t<div id=\"ngg-image-135109\" class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box\"  >\r\n\t\t<div class=\"ngg-gallery-thumbnail\" >\r\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/ktm-x-bow-klein-00024.jpg\" title=\" \" class=\"thickbox\" rel=\"set_9560\" >\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00024\" alt=\"ktm-x-bow-klein-00024\" src=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/wp-content\/gallery\/ktm-x-bow-gt-details\/thumbs\/thumbs_ktm-x-bow-klein-00024.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"75\" \/>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t\r\n\t\t\r\n \t \t\r\n\t<!-- Pagination -->\r\n \t<div class=\"ngg-clear\"><\/div> \t\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>The Monaco traffic didn\u2019t allow us to use all the power but a little sprint into the tunnel was enough to say the car is really fast! Through the windshield, the experience is a little bit less than before but still the car gives you a thrill when driving it. The setting of the brakes was changed for the circumstances, so the bite was a little bit early compared to the normal setting. This setting also caused a really hard beep while braking.<\/p>\n<p>While driving  up the hill towards the casino a little traffic jam came up. Like every car with a manual gear box it is uncomfortable to drive slowly upon a hill while stopping multiple times. But in this, track focused, car it wasn\u2019t really harder to keep it running without rolling back. The clutch was a little bit heavy, but not too heavy. Also the steering is not the easiest job when driving slow but it isn&#8217;t the worst either!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gtspirit.com\/?attachment_id=84822\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-84822\"><img
