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

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:)
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?
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

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...

why is it so expensive? because its Austrian..lol and just look at the thing,

baby is to drive, (so i here), the price doesnt seem so bad..

I don't think this is a car you could call "slow"
