Chapman’s idea, rebuilt in carbon

“We took Colin Chapman’s idea of a spartan, lightweight sports car reduced to the bare essentials and transferred it into the new millennium, with as many technological innovations as possible.”

Michael Wölfling, KTM CEO

X-BOW carbon monocoques on the assembly line
