The Audi five-cylinder engine of the KTM X-BOW GT2 is a thoroughbred racing engine. Thanks to decades of experience of Lehmann Motorentechnik, the up to 600 hp motor is a masterpiece of engineering. The high-revving turbo engine is unique in terms of peak performance, power characteristics, throttle response, lifetime and reliability and makes every single drive an experience, thanks to its characterstic, distinctive sound.

In professional racing, every second counts. In order not to lose any time during the pit stop, the KTM X-BOW GT2 has a central locking adapter and corresponding, high-quality, milled and forged wheels from OZ as standard.

Technology partner AKRAPOVIC contributes the exhaust system for the KTM X-BOW GT2 and combines the high-tech mix of titanium and stainless steel with a racing catalytic converter and efficient noise insulation.

The requirements of the SRO GT2 racing series make a modified rear spoiler necessary. In order to further improve the ingenious aerodynamics of the KTM X-BOW GT2, it has a full carbon rear wing.

The legendary five-cylinder engine from Audi is the modern, powerful heart of the KTM X-BOW GTX. In the KTM X-BOW GT2, this engine becomes a thoroughbred racing engine thanks to know-how from Lehmann Motorentechnik.

Thanks to the electrical gear shifter from SaReNi, a technology service provider from the Reiter-Engineering environment, the KTM X-BOW GTX and KTM X-BOW GT2 offer LMP technology that not only protects the gearbox, but also saves weight.

The laser cut stainless steel exhaust was developed exclusively for the KTM X-BOW GTX and GT2, a catalytic converter and a silencer are optionally available on request.

Thanks to its 120 litre capacity, the FT3 safety tank is prepared for all requirements. Equipped with a VLN (NLS) valve as standard, the tank can also be converted with a quick refueling option on the left, the right, or on both sides of the car.

The standard MoTec engine control includes a MoTec data logger and thus allows full data analysis in racing.

The KTM X-BOW GTX has an electronic fuse box from SaReNi. The fuses are no longer physically available, but programmed individually. This reduces the error rate and ultimately the probability of failure during racing, since short voltage peaks do not "drop" any physical fuse (and paralyze the car or a system). Rather, the electronic fuse "engages" itself again, and the car continues to drive without any problems. And that - individually adjustable - even several thousand times in a row.

The survival cell of the KTM X-BOW, which has been tried and tested in a dozen crashes since 2008 and has been built more than 1,300 times, is extremely stiff and safe, weighing just around 80 kilograms. As first GT racing car, KTM combines this monocoque with a completely new designed and according to FIA Appendix J homologated GT steel rollcage for the GTX and the GT2, that withstands the multiple weight of the vehicle in the rollover pressure test and that also has side struts in the monocoque as well as a full cross behind the driver's seat.

The rear frame is made of high-strength steel tubes. On the one hand, it houses the 2.5 liter five-cylinder engine from Audi and, on the other hand, the sequential six-speed gearbox from Holinger, represents the mounting points for the rear suspension and provides the attachment for the high-performance radiators. Crash elements at the rear of the car ensure that the valuable technology remains as undamaged as possible in the event of rear-end collisions.

The dampers from Sachs can be adjusted in rebound and compression as well as in height on the front and the rear axle. On the front axle it is installed in a push-rod arrangement including an adjustable stabilizer.

The wheel suspensions made of high-strength steel are designed in an aero-profile form, which is particularly important on the front axle, since there the air is led to the laterally arranged radiators past the wheel suspensions in the rear. They are combined with aluminium wheel carriers milled from solid, which, thanks to ingenious mechanics, have a quick camber adjustment integrated, which eliminates the need for time-consuming modifications when changing the camber and, above all, does not affect the track set-up of the car.

The spectacular "Jetfighter Canopy" of the KTM X-BOW GT4 will also cause a stir on the KTM X-BOW GTX and KTM X-BOW GT2. However, the design has been completely revised, the formerly one-piece 'Plexiglass' canopy is being replaced by a carbon frame with an inserted windshield and separately opening glass doors on both sides, whereby the complete canopy can of course still be opened for entry and exit. The front screen is made of Makrolon and can be replaced quickly and cheaply if it is worn.

The brake calipers on the KTM X-BOW GTX and GT2 are already designed for long-distance racing. A 6-piston endurance brake system with a 378 mm disc diameter grips at the front, a 4-piston brake system with a 355 mm disc diameter at the rear.

Both traction control and racing ABS can be adjusted manually. The eight-way traction control ensures optimal acceleration out of corners and provides more safety on wet tracks. The type 3 racing ABS from Continental can be adjusted in ten steps according to the track conditions as well as to influence the vehicle balance towards understeer or oversteer, depending on the driver's wishes when turning into corners. Both selector levers are located directly on the steering wheel and can be operated intuitively there.

Together with partner Recaro, KTM has developed an FIA homologated competition seat made out of carbon-kevlar, which, in combination with the GT rollcage and carbon monocoque, establishes the extremely high safety standard of the KTM X-BOW GTX and GT2. Thanks to individually attachable paddings, the shell is adaptable to every driver, and a homologated six-point racing harness from Schroth is standard as well.

Nowadays, an airjack system is used as standard in racing, and already the KTM X-BOW GTX is equipped with the system from Krontec, which speeds up tire changes on track days and makes minor service or repair work easier.

The suede racing steering wheel of the KTM X-BOW GTX & GT2 is completely new in terms of looks, feel and ergonomics and has an integrated display, that always keeps the most important information in the driver's field of vision. Every single important control element is located in the central part, made out of carbon fibre. Of course, the steering column and thus the position of the steering wheel can still be adjusted in height and depth.

The electric power steering replaces the hydraulic power steering previously used in the KTM X-BOW GT4 and offers several advantages. In principle, it's completely programmable, in the end, the customers can look forward to at least three different set-up variants, which can be selected according to the preferences and needs of the driver. The electric power steering also saves weight.

Togehter with the - in this vehicle segment rather unusually - variable adjustment of the steering wheel, the KTM X-BOW GTX and GT2 also have the tried-and-tested pedal box, which can be adjusted by around 30 centimeters, and which, especially in long-distance races, allows adaptation to drivers of different sizes in seconds.

According to the homologation rules, exterior mirrors must be installed for the GT2 model. These are designed in such a way that the camera monitor system ("CMS") can be additionally installed at the customer’s request.

Air routing and ventilation have been revised, the air outlets are also new and repositioned. Thanks to the higher air output and a stronger fan, the cockpit is significantly better cooled, and the ventilation of the windshield has also been improved.
