There are some interesting sports cars coming out just now. In Austria, KTM, famed for its off-road motor cycles, has unveiled the X-Bow, an open-wheeled mid-engined sports car with near supercar performance owing to its light weight. It is powered by an Audi 2.0 liter turbo engine developing 240 bhp, and has a carbon fiber body built by Dallara in Italy.
It is an odd-looking car, but will doubtless be very quick. Also very basic – just a plastic wind deflector instead of a windscreen and no top.
More conventional is the Avocet, a British sports car with a smooth sporty body and Ford 2.3 liter engine modified by Cosworth to 200-300 bhp, according to spec. This has a conventional steel frame, but will be fairly light.
