Ktm X-Bow by Anne Reck
The KTM X-BOW has the power to induce automotive lust. It seduces with its dramatic and brutal beauty, tantalises through the sophistication of its carbonfibre monocoque, the potential of its advanced aerodynamics, and its motorsport parentage. This book is a fitting tribute to this unique car.
The test in this book is fairly technical, so might be heavy going for some readersYet it's simple enough to follow and charts the story of the Austrian sports car. You'd expect high quality in a title costing GBP50 and the volume doesn't disappoint here. The images and photography are of superb quality throughout. - Auto Express. Packed with details ... those with a love of cutting-edge technology, this fully illustrated volume will hit the spot. - Classic Driver. The foreword by Sebastien Stassin was one of the most poetic and evocative that I've read in an automotive book. - www.silhoeut.com. An Authoritative read. – Octane.
Dr Pathmanathan was born in Malaysia, where his interest in cars was kindled at the age of eight by the sight of the Lamborghini Marzal concept car at a Motor Show. ‘Path’ boarded at Cheltenham College, obtained a degree in Physiology from the University of London, and then his medical degree from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge. He trained as an eye surgeon in London, Southampton, and Liverpool, before doing a subspeciality fellowship in glaucoma at the University of Toronto. He has been a Consultant Eye Surgeon since 1999. His interest in Lamborghini cars has never waned, and his primary interest is in the mid-engined, wedge-shaped, spaceframe-chassised, Lamborghini supercars, with their south-north orientated Bizzarrini engines and their genuinely vertical-opening guillotine doors. He feels immensely privileged to have joint temporary custodianship of KTM X-BOW R Chassis 0642 , which only presented itself after a wait of ten years. His long-standing fascination with the X-BOW lies in the similarities and close associations that this radical road-racer shares with its current Lamborghini stablemates: Countach Chassis 12399, a Rosso Siviglia 88 1/2 5000 QV, and Murciélago Chassis 1564, an Arancio Atlas 2005 Roadster.
