Hinted at for some time, here is the new KTM RC8 R. The first and nonetheless excellent sports car from the Austrian manufacturer was able to convince on the road; but no doubt annoyed by the dominance of the Ducati 1098, the hypersport of Mattighofen got angry and gave birth to an R version.
The orange frame is the hallmark of the edgy models from Katoche. And the RC8 R is no joke. Its unique decor, as aggressive as Mechanical Orange, leaves no doubt about its nervousness. Thanks to a larger cylinder bore of 2 mm, the engine inflates from 1148 to 1195 cm3. Engineers take the opportunity to review the high engine, cooling, and add horsepower. + 10, or 170 nags coming out of the twin.
Ah, hey, that’s jazze over there in the background. “Yeah, as luck would have it, hit the nail on the head with the new 1198!” No kidding … Except that the RC8 R can be completed with a racing kit that boosts the power to 180 horsepower. Then !!!
With a few pounds less and a revised chassis, KTM quickly takes the habits of the big sports manufacturers. A bit of carbon, lighter wheels, improved WP suspensions, reduced hunting and wheelbase, this groundwork allows the RC8 R to drop to 186 kg (2 less) and to revise its dynamics upwards. conduct. It was quick to take; now it will squirt from one angle to the other. As you might expect, the bill also takes watts. Another way to remember that you are piloting a machine like no other.
