    KTM X-Bow GTX Revealed Packing 600 HP (447 kW)

    When you think of KTM in the car scene, you will immediately think of the X-Bow and now that model just got a lot hotter as it sets to compete in the upcoming GT2 racing series.

    The KTM X-Bow in road-going form offers buyers an open-top experience similar to that of a Caterham or Ariel Atom. Until now, the range was topped by the track-only GT4, but thanks to its success, the brand is planning on taking things up a notch with the GTX variant.

    It will be powered by Audi’s 2.5-litre turbocharged five-pot in a 600 hp (447 kW) state of tune. Combine this with its claimed 1000 kg weight figure, and power-to-weight is right where it needs to be.

    KTM board member Hubert Trunkenpolz said “In motorsport, it is necessary to focus development on a superior power-to-weight ratio to be even faster with economical, more efficient, small-volume engines.”

    Revived in 2018, the SRO’s GT2 class aims to allow amateur drivers to get behind the wheel of more powerful track machines, reducing aero and increasing power over GT3 to make it more accessible for drivers with less experience. Power for GT2 racers is limited to 700 hp as opposed to 560 in GT3.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
