KTM X-Bow
The KTM X-Bow (pronounced ''crossbow'') is an ultra-light sports car manufactured by Austrian automotive manufacturer KTM. A company known for their production of motorcycles, the X-Bow was their first mass-produced car in their product range and was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2008. The X-Bow road car was developed in collaboration with KISKA, Audi, and Dallara. Specifications KTM developed its X-Bow road cars in collaboration with design studio KISKA, Audi, and Dallara. It uses a carbon fibre monocoque. The X-Bow uses a 2.0-litre transversely-mounted turbocharged inline-4 engine from Audi that produced at 5,500 rpm and of torque between 2,000 and 5,500 rpm. In the X-Bow R model for 2011 and for other models onwards, the Audi inline-4 is further tuned to produce and of torque at 3,300 rpm. Two transmission options were available for the X-Bow; a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Holinger twin-clutch DSG sequential manual. The front tyres are 205/45 ZR17 a ...

X-bow (shipbuilding)
In ship design, an inverted bow (occasionally also referred to as ''reverse bow'') is a ship's or large boat's bow whose farthest forward point is not at the top. The result may somewhat resemble a submarine's bow. Inverted bows maximize the length of waterline and hence the hull speed, and have often better hydrodynamic drag than ordinary bows. On the other hand, they have very little reserve buoyancy and tend to dive under waves instead of piercing or going over them. Inverted bows were popular on battleships and large cruisers in the early 20th century. They fell out of favour, as they were very wet at high speeds and in heavy seas, but have made a comeback on modern ship design. Examples Motor Yacht "A" The 390 ft luxury motor yacht M/Y "A" has an inverted bow, along with a tumblehome hull design. Ulstein X-Bow The Ulstein X-Bow (or just X-BOW) is an inverted ship's bow designed by Ulstein Group to improve handling in rough seas, and to lower fuel consumption b ...
