KTM Crossbow: Review

The KTM Crossbow has "arrived" at Car Magazine. A bit late, but an interesting read nevertheless.

The world's biggest off-road motorbike manufacturer, KTM, is branching out into extreme sports cars. These first sketches of the Crossbow reveal Austria's answer to the Ariel Atom: a flyweight two-seater powered by a 220bhp Audi engine.

'It's a kind of Lotus Super Seven for the 21st century,' KTM's engineering boss told CAR Online. 'It's radically modern, very light and extremely fast.'

We would be inclined to agree; it might max out at a lukewarm 136mph, but the Crossbow will scuttle to 60mph in just 3.8sec. Thank a kerbweight somewhere south of 700kg for such electrifying performance.
