2011 KTM X-Bow R

In the rear of the KTM X-Bow R is a 300 h.p 2.0 Liter TFSI engine from Audi with a maximum torque of 400 Nm. At the German premium carmaker Audi, KTM chose one of the most efficient and powerful engines with a 2.0 litre displacement. This is all about an engine block that was used by the Ingolstadt-based company for a long time in the S3 model and which generated up to 265 h.p. there.

It was later also used in the TT-S with 272 h.p. For use in the KTM X-BOW R, the reinforced block has a bigger turbo, an altered fuel injection system and the engine electronics have been additionally updated by Bosch Engineering Group (BEG). This means that the performance not only increases to 300 h.p but also the torque: to be exact 400 Nm are set free at 3,300 revs and results in a very smooth torque curve which provides impressive drive in all situations.
