This is a rare 2024 KTM X-Bow GT-XR and it’s currently available from SBX Cars.
What makes this car so rare is the fact that it’s a special-edition version of a car that’s already unique to begin with.
And the best part is, it is 100 percent street legal.

It all started out with the X-Bow (pronounced ‘crossbow’), which is a track-focused, open-cockpit enthusiast car.
This, however, is a rebodied version with a hardtop.
It’s still a bullet around the track, but it’s easier to deal with and use on a daily basis on the road as well.
Speaking of which, the car listed on SBX Cars, which is currently located in Austria, is street legal and approved for use in any European Union country.
This KTM X-Bow GT-XR is finished in Verde British Racing Green tinted carbon fiber paneling, with yellow accents, over a black interior with matching yellow accents.
It is powered by an Audi-based 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine, producing 493 hp, running power to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual clutch automated transmission.
The lightweight carbon fiber chassis means the 493 hp turbocharged inline five cylinder engine supplied by Audi has an easier job than any other application it would normally be used for – even the relatively lightweight TT-RS, at roughly 3100 pounds, outweighs the GT-XR by over 600 pounds.
This explains the outstanding 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) time of just 3.4 seconds, which means this car could easily keep up with nearly every supercar out there, and beat most of them.
This X-Bow GT-XR is available from SBX Cars with only 968 km (about 601 mi) under its belt, in mint condition, and it has never been titled.
