My FH5 Log: Race-ready X-Bow

First enjoyed back in my British adventure in the previous installment, the KTM X-BOW GT4 racecar made its comeback in FH5 as the Series 5 Update's Wet Season Playlist prize car. Having fought my way through the stunt-packed challenges this season's playlist offered, I am reunited with a familiar face for a bold new trip in this game.


This race-spec X-BOW is the collaboration between KTM and the world's highly specialized companies such as Dallara, Reiter Engineering, and KISKA. Made as an affordable entry to GT4 racing, the X-BOW GT4's 2.0L TFSi engine can produce up to 360PS of power and up to 500Nm of torque, while mated to a Holinger sequential gearbox. It's capable of going from 0-100kph in less than four seconds and onwards to 265kph.

As an extreme track toy, the X-BOW GT4 delivers an ideal weight distribution thanks to its Dallara-derived monocoque chassis and lightweight materials that led to its less-than-ton dry weight and at 200kph speeds, it delivers an aerodynamic downforce of over 400kg. Put it all together and this becomes a worthy contender in the GT4 class and such handling can intimidate the bigger foes it comes across.


With the X-BOW GT4 back in the game, it's time to give this extreme track toy a quick refresher with a quick race. Roll the tape.


Enjoy your new ride!
