Coming home from a yard sale. I was stopped at a light about 10 cars back. The light turned green and before I could move, this transformer looking thing was doing about 60 mph as it passed me. I told my wife to look at it but it was long gone behind us. I tried looking for the thing on the internet but found nothing. Tonight , I was channel surfing and saw " How it's made" was on. Well I didn't recognize the tittle " KTM Crossbow " so I thought I'd check it out. It looked like it at first but the thing was to short. Then they put this long nose on it...That was it !!!
I told my wife to come look at what I saw and she said it looked like a go-cart. It does in a way but a HUGE go-cart. I looks like a transformer vehicle for sure. The guy driving was slung back in the seat and he was HAULING butt. I want one. I'm going to post a web page for it. I don't know the cost yet, but I know I can't afford one with insurance at my age.
Check it out...Coming to a city near you !!!

Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Found the cost and I was right. I definitely can't afford one.:-(
KTM X-Bow is an ultra-light sports car manufactured by KTM in collaboration with Kiska Design, Audi, and Dallara which is currently priced for $80,000 – $120,000 depending on features and engines.

Basically, it's a four wheel motorcycle. Good for tooling around on a sunny day. Not sure what they cost, but if too high then they will sell a few, and then go out of business.

Right, KTM is a motorcycle manufacturer that has been around a long time. Doubt you will ever see them go out of business.

KTM makes touring bikes that rival BMW for the best Euro machines. I'm sure that they can put together a sweet high performance sports car, but I want my sports cars to have windshields and at least a few luxury features.HT Optoma HD25 LV on 80" DIY Screen, Anthem MRX 300 Receiver, Pioneer Elite BDP 51FD Polk CS350LS, Polk SDA1C, Polk FX300, Polk RT55, Dual EBS Adire Shiva 320watt tuned to 17hz, ICs-DIY Twisted Prs, Speaker-Raymond Cable

KTM's come with windshields or maybe it's an option. The one I saw go by me even had the roof on it. It was COOL and FAST.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -
Windshield and soft top are available from KTM.
Although the X-Bow is well engineered and built, other established competitors like the Arial Atom, Caterham 7 (except the low powered entry model), all current Lotus models, BAC Mono, and more are faster around a track. -
^^^^Cool.
I saw a how it's made episode on the Caterham 7. Very well made sports car for sure !IT WAS FAST and yes, I'd like one of those in my 10 car garage one day..

There's an episode of How it's Made for the KTM too.
Something that's pretty impressive about the Caterham is it's a Lotus design from 1958.
