2009 KTM X-BOW - PERFORMANCE PACKAGE

KEY FACTS

• A remarkably high-specification example of KTM’s first ever sports car, finished in the marque’s signature hue and equipped with OEM performance modifications
• Under the bonnet is an Audi-derived 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, fitted with the optional tuning package to 300bhp and 388Nm of torque, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission with short-throw gear linkage.
• The odometer reads a mere 10,300 miles from new.
• Built in 2009, it was imported to the UK and re-registered in January 2011, and has been owned by the vendor for nearly seven years.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• Unusually, this X-Bow is equipped with all three aerodynamic packages from the factory at significant expense, with carbon-fibre wheel spats, carbon front wing covers and canards, a carbon spoiler and rear diffuser among the highlights.
• This X-Bow also has the full carbon underfloor package, with all three separate pieces (front, centre, and rear).
• Its paint finish is the triple-layer Adrenaline Orange Pearl, and the car has colour-coded five-spoke alloy wheels; 17-inch at the front and 18-inch at the rear.
• An ABT Performance Package and Backdraft exhaust system was also fitted by a KTM dealer for the previous owner, increasing power and torque to deliver even more thrilling performance and enhancing the engine note.
• The current owner has never seen another KTM with so many of the carbon options and the performance package, and this is quite possibly the highest OEM specification X-Bow in the UK in right-hand drive.
• This example will be supplied with its owner’s manual, build certificate and supporting service history documenting services from 2013 to 2020.

CONDITION

• No known body damage.
• The Adrenaline Orange pearl paintwork is believed to be original, and paint protection film (PPF) has been applied. A couple of stone chips are visible on the front bumper, while some light scratches are seen on the carbon-fibre tub from entering and exiting the X-Bow. These marks are to the PPF and not the carbon-fibre itself.
• The spartan interior remains in excellent condition.
• There are no warning lights illuminated on the dashboard and no mechanical faults apparent.
• The most recent MOT test was on 9 February 2021. This was a first-time pass, with advisories for both offside and nearside track rod end ball joint dust covers.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The most recent service was carried out on 7 August 2020 at 10,067 miles by Collins of Probus in Cornwall. This was a major service with the timing belt, water pump, coolant and spark plugs all replaced – in addition to the engine oil and air filter. The brakes were also checked over.
• Prior to this, the brakes were inspected in 2019 with an engine oil service carried out, while in 2017 the undertray was removed to remove debris including small stones. Both ignition keys also had their batteries replaced.
