We've never quite understood exactly how air manages to negotiate the
KTM X-Bow's unusually contoured carbon monocoque form, but nature's stiff breeze ought to have a clearer path over the trackday hero now that this new GT model includes a windshield and side windows.
The added foul weather protection doesn't include a roof (good luck designing one of those, KTM). However, it does include an integrated defroster similar to that of a
Land Rover, along with a windshield wiper/wash system, too. Those two additions that should go a long way toward increasing the X-Bow's day-to-day livability, as one won't feel so vulnerable to bugs and kicked-up rocks when driving without a helmet. Other changes to the model include a redone center console, as well as new heating and ventilation controls.
No word yet on whether the
X-Bow GT will be available in North America (the standard car
recently found distributorship in the US). Want to learn more?
