I know this is an older story but I thought I'd share it since it has now been in full production for over a year and we are still waiting to see one state side.

A prototype of the KTM X-BOW made its first public appearance at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2007. The extremely positive reactions to this world premiere gave the green light for the assembly lines to start rolling out this lightweight sports car in series.

The production began in the factory in Graz Austria in June 2008. The first models were delivered to our eager customers in August 2008. Approximately 350 vehicles were sold by the end of the year. For 2009, the first full year of production, KTM expects a sales volume of approx. 600 units.

The KTM X-BOW meets the requirements for road homologation as defined by the new EU guidelines for small series homologation. These guidelines are already in force in the following countries through a national homologation policy: Austria, Germany, Great Britain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and in Switzerland, where the X-BOW is also already homologated as it is in the other EU-countries. It is expected that the KTM X-BOW will be approved for road homologation in much of the rest of the European Union in 2009. 

Outside the European Union the KTM X-BOW is homologated in the United Arab Emirates. In all other countries outside the European Union the KTM X-BOW is classed entirely as a racecar for use solely on racetracks, based on the FIA homologation policy. Approval for road homologation in countries outside the European Union is still being considered by the relevant national authorities. In short no USA version as of yet. click here to visit KTM's X-BOW website.
