KTM concepts could point the way forward for Austrian brand
Click above for a gallery of the six KTM concept vehicles
KTM, the Austrian purveyor of both two- and four-wheeled motoring lust, has made it clear that it's a force to be reckoned with as it branches out into other enthusiast markets with such ridiculously awesome products as the X-Bow roadster and its RC8 superbike. Two things that remain a constant feature through all of the firm's recent products are the orange, black and white color pallette and its angular design language. These features, along with KTM's race-ready heritage, makes conceptual vehicle design for the company extremely interesting and proof comes in the form of six concepts designed by industrial design students at FH JOANNEUM University.
- KTM AX - A radical off-road four-wheel vehicle concept
- KTM sr 85 Deuce - An environmentally-friendly lightweight vehicle
- KTM CX - A racing vehicle that brings motocross to the water
- KTM 360° - A super-light, silent electric bike
- KTM Ascender Flight Vehicle - A gas turbine-propelled flying vehicle
- KTM Barracuda - A hydrofoil boat

Im really wouldn't know but doenst that seem more like a snow mobile concept? It doesnt really look like it was meant for water cause the back end is a track like snow mobiles and the front are 2 ski's like snow mobiles but thats just me.......

Someone hasn't watched Top Gear race a icelandic jeep vs a snowmobile on water have they? ;)

These remind of of some old Lego toy designs that were equally outrageous.
KTM, bring them on.

The AX is perfect for an idea I had today for an off-road karting track. If someone with actual funding uses my idea, I'm claiming a cut now.

When I was a kid in the early 70's, this is what the year 2000 was supposed to have.
Please build now!
