KTM X-BOW GT-XR: GT Race Car Performance for the Street

The KTM X-BOW GT-XR is not just a supercar — it’s a street-legal extension of a championship-winning GT race machine. Engineered with DNA straight from the racetrack, this radical sports car blends track-bred performance with cutting-edge design and engineering excellence. It is the closest experience to driving a GT2 race car - KTM supercar - on public roads, offering pure excitement, uncompromised dynamics, and breathtaking aesthetics for true driving purists.
Born on the Racetrack – Built for the Street
Derived directly from the victorious KTM X-BOW GT2, the GT-XR is a tribute to motorsport heritage and technological progress. Every element — from its carbon monocoque chassis to its aggressive aerodynamics — is designed to maximize performance while maintaining road legality. This is a super sportscar built for those who demand the ultimate driving experience both on and off the track.
Radical Design Meets Function
The X-BOW GT-XR's design is unapologetically bold. With a fighter-jet-inspired electric canopy, ultra-low stance, and razor-sharp lines, the car doesn’t just turn heads — it commands attention. Every curve and vent has aerodynamic purpose, reducing drag while increasing downforce for high-speed stability. Crafted largely from carbon fiber, the bodywork ensures lightness, rigidity, and racing-grade safety.
Lightweight Chassis – Carbon Engineering Masterpiece
At the heart of the X-BOW GT-XR is a carbon monocoque chassis, a technology borrowed directly from top-tier motorsports. Weighing just 1,130 kg, the vehicle achieves a remarkable power-to-weight ratio. The result? Explosive acceleration, nimble handling, and unmatched cornering precision. With a static weight distribution of 44:56, rear-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential, the balance and traction are truly race-ready.
Powertrain: Performance Without Compromise
Beneath the rear clamshell lies a beastly 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a staggering 368 kW (500 hp) at 6,350 rpm and 581 Nm of torque at 5,550 rpm. Mated to a precise 7-speed dual-clutch DSG (DQ500) transmission, the GT-XR launches with immediate response and seamless gear changes. With a top speed of 280 km/h (GPS-verified), this machine redefines what’s possible on public roads.
Precision Handling and Braking Confidence
Thanks to its motorsport-tuned suspension, rear-wheel drive setup, and ultra-wide 19" front / 20" rear tires (235/35 R19 and 295/35 R20), the GT-XR delivers surgical handling and grip levels that rival pure track cars. The high-performance braking system ensures fade-free stopping power, giving the driver confidence during spirited canyon runs or closed-course sprints.
Everyday Usability Meets Motorsport DNA
Unlike most supercars of its caliber, the KTM X-BOW GT-XR is also designed with driver ergonomics in mind. Despite its radical appearance and performance orientation, the cockpit offers a surprising level of comfort and usability, including adjustable seating, intuitive controls, and excellent visibility. A massive 96-liter fuel tank also provides extended range, making long-distance drives a thrilling reality.
Efficiency Meets Emissions Standards
With fuel consumption of 9.1L/100km and CO2 emissions of 214 g/km (EURO 6D compliant), the X-BOW GT-XR combines raw performance with modern environmental standards, a rare feat for a car this powerful.
KTM X-BOW GT-XR: The Ultimate Track Weapon for the Street
If you’ve ever dreamed of piloting a true race car on the road, the KTM X-BOW GT-XR is your answer. With authentic GT2 performance, carbon-fiber engineering, and an uncompromising focus on driver engagement, this is a supercar that delivers raw emotion and technical brilliance in equal measure.
Experience the extraordinary. Live the race – every day.
