The organisers, in particular rally legend Michelle Mouton, were fascinated by the revolutionary, lightweight supersports car from Austria. “The X-BOW is an exciting new sportscar – it generates an incredible furore with its spectacular design alone,” said Mouton, the most successful and best-known female rally driver of all time. And the participating racing drivers were all unanimous in their enthusiasm for the X-BOW. Formula 1 legend David Coulthard commented, “It’s an ingenious car concept that also looks quite simply unique.” Sebastian Vettel enthused that “Driving the KTM X-BOW is incredible fun,” while multiple world rally champion Sebastien Loeb called it simply “a great car!”

Everyone at the young car manufacturer is extremely proud of the X-BOW’s performance at the Race of Champions; so much so, it was logical that a special limited-edition series, named ‘Race of Champions’, or ROC for short, should be produced. Unique details featuring on the series of 30 units include: exclusive ROC design on the body panels and the weight-saving all-carbon body; the sports exhaust which attracts special attention with its deep sound; specially painted light-weight alloy wheels with a central wheel nut; adjustable sports suspension; and a removable multi-function steering wheel.

The price for the ultimate supersports car of champions is 69,980 Euros (plus national taxes and import duties).
