So a KTM X-Bow RR round the Nürburgring Nordschleife faster than a Ferrari Enzo?

Long story short the KTM X-Bow came out in 2008. The X-Bow weight just under 800kg uses a turbocharged four-cylinder 2 litre Audi engine producing 237 bhp and a top speed of 135 mph.



Then in 2011, KTM bought out the evolution of the car called the KTM X-Bow R with the turbo Audi engine tuned to round 300 hp.



Now, KTM have came out another evolution of the car called the KTM X-BOW RR.



The new KTM X-BOW RR now has a 360 bhp turbocharged four-cylinder 2 litre Audi weighing in at just 820kg gives a top speed of 149 mph. So the question from the title above, around the 13 miles Nurburgring Nordschleife, does the KTM X-BOW RR faster than a Ferrari Enzo? Well close, 7:25.72, just only 0.02 seconds slower than a Ferrari Enzo. Not bad achievement from a brand that usually builds motorcycles in my opinion. Youtube video below of the lap to enjoy.



End of post/blog for now, new post soon. Bye.
