Austria's KTM could be developing its second road car.

reported on Monday that KTM is developing a road-going version of the X-Bow GT2 to join the existing X-Bow in KTM's road-car lineup.

The new car will reportedly match the X-Bow GT2's mechanical setup of an Audi-sourced 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5 mounted behind the cabin and powering the rear wheels via a sequential transmission. The engine is tuned to deliver 600 hp and 531 lb-ft of torque in the race car, though it isn't clear if the road car will match this performance level.X-Bow GTX race carThe suspension in the X-Bow GT2 is comprised of push-rods with Sachs dampers.

According to Autocar, carbon fiber will be used for the body, just like the race car. However, the road car will reportedly be heavier than the 2,310-pound dry weight of the X-Bow GT2 due to all the extras required to make it street legal.
