2009 KTM X-Bow Power Upgrade by ABT

X-BOW POWER UPGRADE ENDORSED BY KTM

KTM recommends ABT Sportsline performance upgrade for X-BOW
Aftermarket conversion gives X-BOW 300bhp and 400Nm
Tuned X-BOW hits 62 mph in 3.5 seconds
Available through X-BOW service partners costing £5,300 (fitted)

KTM X-BOW owners wishing to take the extraordinary performance of their ‘Ready to Race’ sportscar to the next level can now benefit from a significant power upgrade.

Developed by engine tuning experts ABT Sportsline, the upgrade will raise the already-potent X-BOW’s peak power to an impressive 300bhp (from 240bhp in standard tune) and boost torque to a formidable 400Nm (from 310Nm), lifting the vehicle’s power-to-weight ratio to 380 bhp per tonne. Crucially, the ABT upgrade delivers these increases while retaining the flexibility of the engine, which provides highly accessible peak power and torque over a relatively wide rev band.

Combined with the vehicle’s light weight and Dallara-developed chassis, the increased power will launch X-BOW from rest to 62 mph in just 3.5 seconds – compared to 3.9 seconds in a 240bhp car.

The upgrade – which is the only tuning solution recommended by KTM – will be sold as an aftermarket package and can be retrofitted to all X-BOW models. It costs £5,300 fully fitted (incl. VAT) and comes with a two year warranty – testament to the extensive development testing undertaken to meet KTM’s exacting requirements.

“X-BOW’s racecar-inspired chassis and sophisticated aerodynamic package have always given owners the ability to go head-to-head with some of the world’s most exotic machinery,” comments Jeff Lau, KTM’s X-BOW Manager for the UK. “This power upgrade will ensure that X-BOW owners seeking an even more extreme experience can do so in total confidence, building upon the quality assurance of the expert engineering and exquisite finish for which X-BOW is recognised.”

Existing owners interested in equipping their X-BOW with the factory-recommended power upgrade should contact their nearest service partner, where the part can be fitted by ABT’s specialist engineers. Based in Kempten, Germany, ABT Sportsline is renowned for carrying out tuning work on Volkswagen Group powertrains.
