KTM is preparing to launch a brand new road car for the first time in 14 years. Meet the 600bhp X-Bow GT2...

hot hatch, though the GT2 racer boosts output to 600bhp and 531lb ft compared to the X-Bow R's 296bhp and 295lb ft.

KTM has yet to confirm whether the road-going engine will be tuned to the same specification of the race unit. Drive is channeled to the rear axle through a seven-speed sequential gearbox and a limited-slip differential. Fundamentally, the GT2 is based around the same Dallara-designed, 80kg carbonfibre monocoque as the X-Bow, which KTM says"has been tried and tested in a dozen crashes since 2008". For the hardtop car it is paired with an FIA-approved steel rollcage.

A 'jetfighter' canopy lid – made of carbonfibre - provides access to the cabin, but small glass windows at the side can also be fully opened.
