In-Depth Review of the KTM X-Bow GT-XR | Curbstone TV | Round 6
This is our latest review, the KTM X-BOW GT-XR or the closest you can get to a purebred race car in a road-legal vehicle. In the development of the KTM X-BOW GT-XR, the focus was on the essentials - without sacrificing unique features, such as the electric jet fighter canopy.
The super sportscar is the ideal lightweight and high-performance car for true individualists who want to experience untamed dynamics, radical design and pure enthusiasm in everyday life as well.
• Perfect weight distribution (44/56),
• Five-cylinder inline 2.5-litre turbocharged engine,
• 500 hp at 6,350 tr/min and 581 Nm at 5,550 tr/min,
• Seven-speed DSG gearbox,
• Weight of only 1,130 kg.

We’re working on it! Thanks for the lovely feedback! 👌🫶
@@curbstoneevents you're welcome. I subscribed
beautiful review, I was expecting 20,000-300,000 subscribers and was shocked when I saw 'only' 500. Deserves so much more. Keep up the great work!
Wow, thank you! We are working on more projects so we'll keep pushing to more subscribers. ;-)
Subscribed and commented to support this channel. These are the kinds of reviews that I enjoy the most. You actually spoke about every aspect of the car. Not just the performance, like almost every other channel. The only thing that you didn't mention, was if you are able to lock the "door" or not. Just to keep your friends and neighbors from jumping in every time you start it to go out for a drive. One other thing. I would have liked to see more of the interior of the vehicle from a seating position, also. You spoke of the cameras, but didn't show how the screens looked. Still, a great video. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for the feedback! To answer your questions, you are able to lock the doors. So you are able to keep yourself "safe" from people that want to jump in. ;-) And we will make sure to have more interior footage for the upcoming reviews. ;-) Thanks again!
Superb review quality! Was surprised to see your subscribers really, the level of quality this review has surpasses most of youtube as a whole. Keep it up! Subbed!
Thank you for the lovely feedback. And we’ll make sure to continue with this kind of content 👌
yay i’m your 911 subscriber 🎉🥳 You’ll grow alot with this type of quality videos ❤️
Thank you ! Let’s make it happen ! 🙏
You have a nice relaxed way of presenting, you are a natural. Just the right amount of techy stuff. Well done
Thanks! 👍 :-D More coming soon!
I never heard of this car until now it’s nice but I would take it in a blue not green 🙃
glad to found this channel early. i'm the 555th subs! very great video and review!
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
absolutely incredible review. very informational and just tells it how it is, no foolishness or anything like that. thank you!
Thanks! 🙏 Make sure to subscribe for more! 👌
Good production values so here are some suggestions: lower the music volume. It made it hard to enjoy either what you were saying or the engine noise. Also, you spent more time talking about the paddle clicks than you did the engine. How much hp and torque does it make? Who makes the engine? Is it outsourced or an in-house design? How much does the car cost? Does KTM have an online configurator so we can design our own? Of course we can research to get this info but this is the kind of info people want when they watch auto channels and that will keep them coming back. Congratulations on starting the channel, now to fine tune it to get those subscriber numbers up!
Thanks for the feedback ! Here's already the extra information for you: At the heart of the machine is the legendary 2.5 litre, five-cylinder engine - In-line five-cylinder gasoline engine with combined intake manifold/direct fuel injection; exhaust gas turbocharging with charge air cooling - manufactured by Audi AG. The engine, crowned "engine of the year" on nine separate occasions is not only the world's most powerful production five-cylinder, it is also the latest in a long line of successful Audi engines that have shone on racetracks. Which results in 581NM @ 5550/min & 368 kw @ 6350/min. Prices start at +/- €299.000,- (Excl. VAT) and unfortunately there's no online configurator. As cars are so unique, it wouldn't be possible to show all the possibilities.
Your 862th subscriber! You contents are 100% quality
Thank you ! 👌
Some incredible shots you have here. Great work on the video. ✅

Epic! Thanks for the support! 🚀
@@curbstoneevents pin mee for good luck!
Eso es una verdadera nave espacial 🚀
Estoy totalmente de acuerdo !
Ah man.. that Canopy.. 😍😍😍😍
Badass right? 😬🚀
This car is like the car in my dreams. The one that is at the back of my garage that would need me to move a family van that is actually long gone already and other cars before i can actually pull this out. But whats with the giant space between the wheel and the wheel-arch at the back.
How do u only have 576 subscribers?! Until I saw the subscribers count, I thought with videos like this u would be one of the biggest car KZheadrs with millions of subscribers
Thank you for the support! We would love to reach those millions of subscribers 😬 Working on it !
Very Underrated channel! support from India man
Thank you for the lovely feedback!
So cool race car.🤩👍
You said it correctly: “race car”. 😏🤫
De la haute rue en passant par la route de l'état. La plus belle route du monde ;-)
🤫
Also I'm curious what safety features it has in a roll over situation as in how would you be able to get out with the cockpit designed like that?
They are safety latches on the side windows inside the cockpit
@ColinCharles3D: Exactly! Let’s hope we’ll never need to use these though!
Would be interesting to do a comparison with the T.33, T.50.
Both are still completely different cars. Don’t you think? If we already look at manual gearbox Vs. automatic gearbox or 5-cylinder turbo-engine Vs. naturally aspirated V12 engine?
@@curbstoneevents No I think both goals are the same, Lightweight great handling supercars. They just go about it in a different way. The only thing I would say is that the 0-60 of the KTM is not very fast however Gordon Murray never focused on 0-60 which sort of cancels that discrepancy. The other big divide being the price. But is a small lightweight V12 and manual really worth the extra millions?
@@curbstoneevents .... oh and the fact that it is the child of the mighty F1.
Looking at it like that, we do follow you. But let’s see, as we need to get behind the wheel of a T.50 or T.33 to find out. 👀
Underated channel
Much more to come so stay tuned!
This car is so beautiful. I'd love to have one soo bad! The dark green with that rim color is perfectly my style. Either that or purple with gold rims. This car has 600 hp and weights only 2205 lbs. That is a seriously great power to weight ratio. It is just too bad they never did laptimes stock to see how it compares to Viper, Corvette or Porsche.
Sick……..how do you get out of it if it’s upside down and on fire?
There are safety latches on the side windows inside the cockpit. ;-)
great car👍👍👍👍
That’s the least you can say about it 😬
Is it possible to get one in the US?
Unfortunately, for now the X-Bow GT-XR isn't coming to the U.S. 😥
I love it
Absolutely mad, right? 🤯
@@curbstoneevents sick af!
Wow new channel
Happy you found it? 😬
Yeeppp, nice review 🥰🥰🥰
road legal, race car🤤 Huracan STO review next maybe? 😂
If the Marketing / Press Departement of Lamborghini manages to find this comment, who knows. ;-)
I drove one I have few complaints. I know it arrow dynamic thing but those camera instead psychal mirror not good that much can see bit wide far. If you hit over 150 I don't know what's going on wind noise increase so high. And brake God damn need to put to much force to use. Normal mood steering good but it's much better in sport mood. And you need those a,c on because it getting bit hot 😂.overall worth for money this. Who like to have sport race car without brake bank
It's still a race car with license plates on it. ;-) Brakes, steering... It's definitely not your average supercar! ;-)
Yes, but how much?
€299,150 plus taxes. ;-)
Wow KTM I have to hand it to you. It is a thing of beauty! Welcome to the Big League. Now should you wanna do a Wild publicity Stunt? You could give the 69th car to me as I was born on the 69th day of 69 (1969) Now it really doesn't get much cooler. Still I'll Keep dreaming that you'll see fit to the wildest publicity Ever. I have the perfect vanity plate for it ZINURU the Secret word for Power the key to Magic above as in Below! It comes from the Emerald Tablets of Thoth and basically means the Power within. Final reasons It would most likely be the only 1 in New Zealand and someone needs to Kick Mad Mikes Arse! Also thanks to sharing the 10th of March with Chuck Norris my Birthday falls on the international day of Awesomeness! Sadly 4 Chuck his birth year was a leap year so he was the 70th day 0f 1940. Also NZ starts Greenwich meantime. Now born Wellington 10th March 1969 at 8.20pm doesn't sound that cool! But I must have big shoes to fill as I was born breach (backwards) at 20/20 on the 69th day of 69. Got to Love that 24hr clock and Chuck for making it Awesome!!!! Now I can only Hope you wanna make it even Cooler. The promotion man for Read Bull NZ said after I took Him for a spin in my Skyline. "God help Mad Mike if he ever meets you on the road or track as I can break cars. My Granddad raced a Bentley on the beach here in NZ back in 1927. My 1st car was a black RX3 Coupe. I also have had several Rx7's and I have made many grown men cry from driving So wildly. To me it's only really evolution when someone with a God given gift to drive gets to drive something like this and not some rich old guy that might put 5000 on the clock but never anywhere near what a weapon like this is capable of. Thanks for letting me dream. Thank You for making a car so cool all modesty got replaced with shameful self promotion. Greens are my favorite colour.
😅
Wow impressive... Basically a 2500lb carbon fiber 500hp rocket. I know it's highly customizable, but what is the price range for this beautiful machine (unless I missed it somewhere in the video)
@@David-vg8ou: Prices start at €299.000,- (Excl. Taxes) ;-)
Do classic porsche❤
We will! 👌😬
Pure Five Bang
👌👌👌
How much...?
Starting at €299.000,- (Excl. VAT & options)
@@curbstoneevents I need one
subbed at 678.

سنتأكد من الحصول على المزيد من لقطات السيارة للفيديو التالي. ;-)
This guy reminds me of Gordon Murray
Is that a good thing? 😬
I haven't even seen a KTM bike on the road
Good thing this ain't a bike ! ;-)
Where are you from? they're pretty common these days, specially the little Dukes (125,200,250,390)
Always thought it was pronounced “cross” bow.
Both are "allowed" ;-)
Renault friends with KTM
Huh?
It would be better with a V6 TT with 650hp.
The GT2 car is running 600hp with the same engine. And has a lot of potential for more. So +650hp won’t be difficult to reach. 👌
sounds like a trumpet. no. lol
My DS automobiles E tense would SMASH this thing
🤔👀
By "smash" you obviously mean that it would obliterate this car if you crash into it with your E-tense, seeing as that thing weighs two tons or more. Maybe, but I do wonder if you can pick up enough speed with your asthmatic 130HP to 200HP motor and the enormous weight it has to propel forward. You would likely need a good bit of run-up to accelerate. Do film it for us when you try it!
It sounds less as a review and more like an add! Otherwise interesting car
As DRM Sportscars recently became the distributor of the very radical four-wheeled KTM for Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands, we definitely want to support them. And we also want to see many KTM's on the road, so that's why the little commercial support from our side. ;-)
is nobody going to talk about how it already has a check engine light on
Where do you see this? 🤔
when u are talking about the display for music and naviagation @@curbstoneevents
@@curbstoneevents at 7:30 in the video. But I think that's just because the engine is off but the electrical systems are powered on, if I'm not mistaken. My car does the same thing, when you enable electrical power (press start button without foot on the brake) the check engine light comes on and it goes off again when you start the engine
Well Dn KTM. Well Dn. Fghtr Canopy. 2 Seater. YUP. A Mega Mega Chick Magnet. YUP.
All we need indeed!
ktm what the heck
You impressed? 😬👌
It's a Crossbow not Xbow😂😅
Both are correct. 😬👌
What a joke. Blah blah blah. Zero info on specs. 5 cylinders that's it. No displacement No hp No torq No performance #'s I want my 12.54 minutes back
0-60 mph: 3.3 seconds 0-100 kph: 3.5 seconds Top speed: 280 kph / 174 mph Displacement: 2.5 liters Maximum power 500 metric horsepower (493 brake horsepower / 368 kilowatts) @ 6350 rpm Maximum torque 582 Newton-meters (429 pound-feet) @ 5500 rpm Happy now? 😬
There's no need to take pictures of your face while driving. Because it's a video that shows cars.
Are we taking pictures? 🤔
Every single car review channel on youtube films in exactly the same way as this. But feel free to start your own channel and not film your face if that makes you feel a bit better? Tell you what, I'll even be your first subscriber so I can marvel at how much better of a car review you produce. I can't wait. Good luck!
Spotify playlist? It's called music ffs.
Are you ok? Eat something, I promise you'll be less angry.
😂😂😂
@@yadhi3100 now your comment sounds angry. See my point? 🙂
This car looks like a batmobile.
Because it is. 😜
Let me get this straight. I'm big fan of European bikes and cars. But KTM is know for great 1290 super duke but reliability garbage. For upgrades like quickshiter and abs you've to pay more. This car is garbage and resale is gonna be trash not sure if motor will last long 5k miles. 😂😂
i never had problems with my super duke but with my bmw and people still drive those repair addicts so it shouldnt be to bad with this car. the engine is from audi. thank god not from bmw...
We do not have any experience with the KTM Motorcycles. All we know is that the KTM X-Bow GT-XR goes like a mad machine. And that might 2.5-liter TFSI five-cylinder engine has received the "International Engine of the Year Award" nine times since 2010. So we are convinced it'll deliver might performance for quite a while. ;-)
@@Wolfpak1992 can u calm down with ur bmw ?
Take the lady with you? I’m homosexual and married to a man. I am so offended.

Why do hypercars cost millions of dollars? Just get 1 of these! It looks like a hypercar. Even if a Bugatti beats it in performance, it’s not like you’re Lewis Hamilton to feel or use the difference. But if you’re a braggart who wants to announce the price you paid for, get the Bugatti.
This is definitely one of the most "rational" cars with such performance you can buy today. The BUGATTI or other hypercar customer is more attracted to the brand, its history or its luxury than pure 100% performance. Which is exactly what the X-Bow GT-XR customer wants, 100% performance!
My Ferrari carbon fiber F90 would demolish this car!
You really are comparing potatoes to tomatoes... ergo, your comment doesn't make sense...
Different philosophy indeed. Company a +1000hp PHEC vehicle to 500hp car doesn’t seem really fair. 😬 And again, the KTM X-Bow GT-XR is a track-focused road-legal car. 👌
Obviously you x own one LOL
Keep lying to yourself larry
Who ask buddy. This is not hyper car or those ferrari crap for rich mfs. This is affordable sport car make for normal people. No one care your red shit box no one ask
I’d like one of these in the same colour/combination as my current vehicle.
Seems like a brilliant idea… 👀
This video should be titled... 'How the wrong color can ruin an awesome car'..
Not a fan of that lovely green color ?
The colors great
