This KTM Supercar-Powered Side-By-Side Was Built For Racing, and It's Truly Wild

A few months ago, rumors swirled that the beleaguered KTM was cancelling its supercar X-Bow. The lightweight, open-cockpit supercar was akin to Ariel's Atom in shape, design, ethos, and was born from a motorcycle company, but the X-Bow just never caught on like the Atom. Sales suffered, and the writing seemed to be on the proverbial wall, as KTM's financial situation and reorganization under Bajaj's leadership meant a culling of the brand's side projects was fully in force. 

But then, at the 11th hour, the X-Bow nameplate was saved by a group of owners and investors, stating they'd be restarting production of the vehicles, as well as parts and sales service, too. Then things went silent as the company, seemingly, went into the process of transferring ownership and getting things running. 

All that, however, has now changed, as the group behind the X-Bow has just reemerged with a wild-ass new project. One that, honestly, I don't think anyone saw coming, as not only does it have a new model, it's one that X-Bow has never done before. Yes, instead of a new X-Bow supercar, the company, along with the G Rally Team, has built a Dakar-ready side-by-side that's X-Bow-powered.
