Reiter will be in charge in the construction of the GT4, as well as the logistics which includes the sales and supply of spare parts. This is not the first time Reiter has worked with KTM where they one released a previous GT4-spec X-Bow back in 2008. As for the time being, they had yet to release the specs of this race car, but they did mention that the car is developed to compete in international motorsport events.

But what we do know is that the X-Bow GT4 is powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder engine which is sent to the rear wheels via a sequential manual gearbox. Compared to the earlier GT4 variant, the new car gets a couple of modifications made to the suspension geometry, gearbox, aerodynamics, and ABS settings.
