KTM X-Bow Dallara Edition

KTM X-Bow Dallara Edition, an open car and VERY fast!

South of Roskilde lies a town called Tune, where FDM Sjællandsringen is located. Here Sportscar Event 2014 Sjælland is held.

We arrive in the morning. You can hear them warming up the cars. The weather says lightly cloudy. Everything points to a good day.

It's always exciting to see which supercars have shown up.

This time the choice fell on a KTM X-Bow Dallara Edition. A completely open, raw car built almost entirely from carbon fibre, with a turbo engine delivering 360 hp and a 0-100 time of about 3.3 seconds.

That sounds like a combination you can't really go wrong with. Up to the ticket booth, check off the KTM, pay, and back to the queue by the X-Bow.

Now there's only a little waiting time left. The people ahead of me look like they've had a great ride, because when they come in they've got a huge smile on their face. That bodes well. Now there's only one left before it's my turn. It's great and I wait eagerly.

The KTM comes rolling down through the pit area and up in front of me. Time for a co-driver swap. Getting down into an X-Bow is quite a feat, one you have to get used to. But luckily I was able to watch how the people before me handled getting in and out.

In place in the seat, the harness fastened, said hi to the driver, ready for start.

We drive calmly forward to the descent onto the track, after which the gate is opened.

Out on the track there's first a long 180-degree left curve, then a slight turn to the right, a slight turn to the left, straight on, a slight turn to the left, into a left curve and out onto the back straight. That's one lap of the track.

It's awesome to feel how the X-Bow takes the corners, accelerates and brakes. Sitting in such an open racer, with no windscreen in front to shield you, gives a whole different ride experience.
The faster you drive, the more wind pressure on your body.

We can only recommend trying a ride in a KTM X-Bow Dallara Edition. By the way, you can watch our ride here:
