Motoren Technik Mayer (MTM) has tuned almost every product in the Volkswagen/Audi stable, so it makes sense that they'd work their magic on the turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI found in the KTM X-Bow.

The boosted four has proven to be just as tweakable as the venerable 1.8T it replaced, and MTM is has announced plans to raise output of the X-Bow from 237 to 380 hp. Torque figures should rise accordingly (we're guessing something in the neighborhood of 350 lb-ft) and the 0-60 times will surely drop from the factory-stated 3.9-seconds -- assuming MTM can get the additional ponies to the ground in a civilized fashion.

Expect a range of brake, wheel and suspension upgrades to be included, and hope that MTM offers its wares in the States if the KTM makes good on its promise to bring the X-Bow to the U.S.

how much is it approx ?
and how much is the MTM Kit ?

 

50 k euro IIRC, dunno about the kit

 

I really like the X-Bow. I would take it over the Atom.

Partly because I'm more into a GTI's engine rather than a Civic's engine.

 

That sounds like it'd make for an epically good drive! Feel the POWAAAA

 

Raul, believe me, the "civic" engine is FAR superior to the VAG engine. It could pump well over 300 wheel hp NA at 2.2l.

In a car like this, i would want a racy high revving engine. IMO.

 

That's funny b/c my Atom has a GM motor in it.

Oh, and one last time....KTM is not bringing the Xbow into the US. Audi threatened to pull their involvement in the project if KTM distributed to the US.

 

oh believe me I know you are right.....

but I'm still a bias SOB

 

^Haha


The Atom was originally available with the Honda k20a, in na or supercharged form. IIRC.

 

That thing must be mental with all that power!
