Overview[]
The 2019 KTM X-BOW GT4 Evo is an Austrian race car that was added to Driving Empire on July 13, 2024, as part of the KTM Licensing Update. It can be purchased by players for $290,000.
The X-BOW GT4 Evo is an updated version of the X-BOW GT4 that was introduced in 2019. The main point of the upgrade was for the sake of making the car faster in a straight line without sacrificing any handling capabilities.1 As a result, the GT4 Evo looks similar to the regular GT4, with different aero being one of its most prominent differences.
In-Game Information[]
The KTM X-BOW GT4 Evo was initially teased on July 3, 2024, with the release of the Jaguar E-Type Coupe. On that day, three crates were placed throughout the map. The first crate, which was labeled "3 of 3" was behind the dealership garage. Within the crate was a tented vehicle, though the actual model was not present. On the outside of the crate was a delivery paper, with a listed weight of 1096 KG. This was believed by the playerbase to be the X-BOW GT4 Evo.
This prediction was confirmed on July 11, 2024, when an official sneak peek of the X-BOW GT4 Evo was released. The same day, the vehicle was displayed on a special podium, and remained there until the following day, when it was replaced by the KTM X-BOW GTX for the actual update.
Finally, on July 12, 2024, the X-BOW GT4 Evo was added to the game along with two other X-BOW vehicles. It was priced between the others.
Performance[]
Despite aiming to be a superior vehicle to the X-BOW GT, the GT4 Evo has slightly worse handling and acceleration, and is on par with the GT in braking. The largest advantage of the GT4 Evo lies in its top speed, but the difference is not large. As a result, the GT4 Evo is a slightly more difficult vehicle to drive, but still easier than most to driver. The $290,000 price tag makes this vehicle a much less compelling purchase, though.
Players should purchase the GT4 Evo only if they are looking for a car to use for roleplaying or for pure driving, as the GT4 Evo is an undeniably fun car to drive. In terms of actual racing, though, the vehicle is not worth it.
