01. Engine & Drivetrain

Transmission
Tried and tested in series production, but tuned optimally to the KTM X-BOW GT: The manual 6-speed gearbox from Audi always has the right gear available.


Graph of torque
The engine achieves its maximum torque of 420 Nm at an engine speed of only 3,200 rpm – thereby making, in the truest sense of the phrase, “very light work” of the KTM X-BOW GT, which tips the scales at a mere 847 kg. The maximum power output of 300 hp is attained at 6,400 rpm.


Rear frame
The aluminium spaceframe is the central supporting element for the engine/gearbox assembly. It has been possible to lower the whole unit by 19 millimetres, thereby lowering the KTM X-BOW GT’s already impressively low centre of gravity by another 15 millimetres. As a direct consequence, even greater lateral acceleration forces and even higher cornering speeds are possible.

High performance cooler
High-quality products, developed directly by KTM and manufactured in Austria: The high-performance radiators and charge-air cooler originate from WP Radiator.


Performance package 1
The Performance Pack 1 was especially developed for the KTM X-BOW. The pack includes lowering of the engine, an optimised drivetrain mounting and a catalytic converter with modified geometry. Lowering the engine by 19 mm lowers the vehicle’s centre of gravity. Furthermore, the torque stay is attached to the monocoque, thereby significantly reducing the effect of engine movement on handling. This makes the KTM X-BOW much smoother when changing positions of the accelerator pedal. The modified geometry requires a new catalytic converter.


Muffler
This much sound is a must: The sports exhaust system is simple to assemble and coordinates the tone of the vehicle with its spectacular appearance.
