KTM is looking to snare significant investment into its MotoGP team
KTM is in talks with potential investors for its MotoGP team, aiming to finalize a deal before Christmas. Following a financial crisis last winter, the Austrian manufacturer secured its future with new majority ownership from Bajaj. Committing to the 2027 MotoGP rules, KTM unveiled a new 850cc engine in a recent fire-up video. The company has attracted outside investment interest over the past year, with seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton once linked to the team. KTM CEO Neumeister noted significant investor interest and is seeking partners to cover a portion of running costs while maintaining control of the team. Discussions are ongoing to secure a partnership that aligns with KTM’s vision before the end of the year.
