The Abarth roadster derivative of the KTM X-Bow?


Rumors and rants for the time that these "news" reported by the media Audo Express. According to the British, therefore, definitely forget the option of a chassis developed by Lotus, but steer you towards a rapprochement with KTM. Forget also the traditional engine of Audi origin but go through the box Fiat. Info? Hoax?

According to Auto Express they would be entitled to a small roadster limited edition combining exclusivity, sophistication and excitement with the power to move into central location offering a 1.8 MultiAir then 200 hp. This two-seater would offer more seem less "minimalist" than the KTM X-Bow and equipped with everything going well for comfortable use on a daily basis.

This option of a platform shared with the KTM X-Bow replace definitively the possibility of a link with Lotus. Clearly, an agreement with the Dallara for carbon chassis. This mid-engine roadster should not be born before 2013. We will have time to talk again if this does not prove too costly and playable on an industrial scale. Like the rest of the other sounds like turning around a speedster or collaboration with Alfa Romeo. So certainly with a chassis that way, balance and recognized production (but still weighing a tad too heavy, then a little ...) plus a good engine and a little refinement, it sounds good .... But ... Wait and see
