Wimmer RS KTM X-Bow GT Black Edition seems like it has just made a great photo-session in Batman’s lair. Take a look in the gallery below and you’ll get my idea, but… it will be the ultimate batmobile, if Batman wasn’t a protagonist but a real-life superhero. The car is setting absolutely new standards when it comes to defining “fully carbon fiber vehicle” and the reason for this is that its whole body is made of the lightweight material. Literally.
So basically, it sits on a unique monocoque

Here is the WIMMER KTM X-Bow GT. Regardless of its form, drop top or real Gran Turismo, the car is an emanation of a radical design. R and RR are the model series most famous in the X-Bow trim. They stand out immediately and are driven by preference with helmet, because the windshield does not offer any protection. On the contrary, the GT variant of the X-Bow has a windshield made of heatable laminated safety glass. The side windows of the car are also the doors of the KTM X-Bow GT in the same t

It takes a special kind of person to have a look at a KTM X-Bow GT and go: “You know what? I want this to be madder. And I'm not talking madder by a degree. I want this to be able to blow your mind.” Here's a testament, however, that there are such people. What you are looking at is Wimmer Rennsporttechnik showing off their latest abomination: a stock GT converted it into a machine that is, as they say, beyond recognition.
Okay, the profile of an X-Bow is very recognizable. Still, the fig

When asked about the subject, a frustrate
