Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept: The Japanese Antidote to the KTM X-BOW
If KTM can be downloaded from X-BOW, so why should another engine manufacturer to jump and go in the car business with a special lightweight sports car? Although a simple question, (of course), the answer is more complicated than it seems at first sight.
But the imagination of the designers in the country, without restrictions, just a desire to create. And for the Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld who met through his Aston Martin V12 and the BMW Nazca Hommage a prototype, the answer to the above question is a Kawasaki ZX-770R concept.
Inspired by the KTM X-BOW, Leerentveld developed a similar project for the Japanese company Kawasaki. But the ZX-770R is more sports car for the measurement of 4427 mm, 1017 mm and 2073 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2710 mm.
Leerentveld says that sports car will sink in (a not too optimistic) 500 kg and 1,102 pounds, while the government provides twin-turbo V6 producing around 770 horsepower.
