the Luk driving Center laptime was driven on normal street tires no street legal semi slicks, the suspension setup was the basic factory setup. The X-Bow has a fully adjustable suspension and ride high, with proper track specific setup the car would have laped faster according to Patrik Simon the testdriver

Why is it so heavy? Allmost all similar type of cars are lighter: ariel atom, caterham csr/r500, westfield xtr, all the radicals etc...

Anonymous 27/09/08, 11:19:13
even lotus 2-eleven is lighter...

Anonymous 27/09/08, 23:07:56
the question isnt why is it so heavy, its why is it so slow?? look at thos performance stats, the Lotus Elise SC does the 1/4 in 13 flat and that around 400 lbs heavyer. but i bet this thing is really fun to drive:)

isn't it slow _because_ it is heavy?

FastestLaps 29/09/08, 12:32:37
I don't think this is a car you could call "slow"

Anonymous 29/09/08, 12:34:52
some times weight wont effect the performance as much if there equipped with certain options, for example, nissan gtr and bentley gt speed 3.2 and 3.9 and most cars with this weight and power are alot faster, for example the lotus exige s 240 3.8 ta 60 and 9.6 ta 100, anddd 12.4 in th 1/4, so i dunno maybe this car just sucks?

Georg 29/09/08, 13:01:12
slow? At Hockenheim short it is faster as 2-11, at Nürburgring it is faster as similar powerfull Ariel Atom2. Patrick Simon claimed the handling brilliant... compared to the Elise SC which simple sucked because of wrong tires and shitty tranny

Anonymous 29/09/08, 14:28:12
Well no, it is not slow. ;-) I was talking about weight when compared to cars like ariel atom, caterham r500 or perhaps radical sr3/4/8... IMHO it is kind of heavy when compared to those cars (atom, r500 etc). And because it's heavier than those cars, it is also slower. And since I thought KTM were competing on the same segment of the market as ariel/caterham/radical, it is "slow" and "heavy" relative to its competition...

The Question is why is it so expensive...

Anonymous 30/10/08, 06:25:28
why is it so expensive? because its Austrian..lol and just look at the thing, its craaaazy. i think its £50,000 or $60,000, but considering how much fun this baby is to drive, (so i here), the price doesnt seem so bad..
