Hey there! So you're looking to get acquainted with KTM in Forza Motorsport 7? Great choice! These Austrian machines have a seriously cool history, starting way back in 1934 as a metalworking shop. They really hit their stride making motorcycles, and eventually, they even jumped into the four-wheeled world with their wild KTM X-Bow. KTM has been a staple in the Forza series since _Forza Motorsport 5_, and they're definitely present in _Forza Motorsport 7_ and even _Forza Motorsport 6: Apex_. They're known for their success in motocross and enduro racing, but they've also made waves in road racing and with their unique sports cars. ## Vehicles KTM brings a couple of distinct vehicles to the track in Forza Motorsport 7: ### Production * 2013 KTM X-Bow R: This is a pretty unique production car. It's rear-wheel drive and packs a 2.0L Turbocharged I4 engine, putting out 295 hp and 295 ft⋅lb of torque. It's quite lightweight at 1786 lbs (810 kg), with a weight distribution of 40% front and 60% rear. It's a nimble machine that really showcases KTM's approach to performance. ### Race * 2020 KTM X-Bow GT2: If you're looking for something more track-focused, the GT2 is your ride. It's also RWD, but with a larger 2.5L Turbocharged I5 engine, it cranks out a massive 600 hp and 531 ft⋅lb of torque. It weighs in at 2509 lbs (1138 kg) with a 44% front / 56% rear weight split. This one is built for serious speed. * 2018 KTM X-Bow GT4: Another formidable race car, the GT4 uses a 2.0L Turbocharged I4, similar to the R, but tuned up to 326 hp and 295 ft⋅lb of torque. It's a bit heavier than the R at 2352 lbs (1067 kg) and has a weight distribution of 45% front and 55% rear. It's a great option for GT racing. While the article mentions a synopsis and gallery, it seems like those sections are still a work in progress. But for getting started with KTM's cars in the game, you've got the X-Bow R for a more raw experience and the GT2 and GT4 for pure racing performance. Have fun behind the wheel!
