The GT was introduced in 2013 as a variant of the KTM X-Bow. It marked a major shift in X-Bow philosophy by introducing road-oriented comfort features for the first time, such as a wraparound windscreen, side windows and a partial cockpit cover, while maintaining the enclosed roadster styling but lacking conventional doors. It retains rear-wheel drive, a 6-speed manual transmission and Audi's trusted 2.0L turbocharged inline four engine, tuned to deliver between 280hp and 300hp. It was the first X-Bow homologated for more practical road use, without sacrificing the carbon monocoque chassis or the raw, direct riding experience that characterizes the range.
