(from AC Schnitzer
Press Release) Fighter with Wide Wings: The new X5
Falcon by AC Schnitzer
The falcon has always
been a born fighter, the bird of warriors and a status symbol of the
mighty and powerful. The peregrine falcon, with a dive speed of more
than 200 km/h, is the fastest bird in the world. With its broad
"wings", the new Falcon by AC Schnitzer also presents a majestic
aura. The new widening kit for the front and rear wings perfectly
harmonizes with the existing accessory range from the Aachen-based
tuner.
Especially in
combination with the front skirt element with its spoiler corners
and indicated drive-under protection, at first sight it gives the
SUV the supremely confident aura of the fighter. The image of the
"bird of prey" has been further emphasised by Designer Michele
Viandante by the two triangular metal-rimmed air intakes in the
bonnet.
And faced with the
imposing rear end, who would dare to get too close to the Falcon?
With its strong contours, the AC Schnitzer spoiler skirt has a
muscular, masculine appearance. The designer has achieved a
particular eyecatcher in the sports rear silencer, with its chromed
tailpipes in "Racing“ design emphatically projecting from the rear.
And the new 22" Type VII racing wheels with their dark looks are
just as fascinating.
While other cars rely on
puffed-up looks the Falcon has a lot of power under the hardened
plumage: the 3.0 litre diesel engine, which as standard delivers 210
kW and 286 HP, has been electronically upgraded by AC Schnitzer to
give an impressive 228 kW/310 HP. The maximum torque has also risen
from 580 to 680 Nm. With subtle lowering thanks to the new
suspension kit, AC Schnitzer has given the "Falcon" impressive
maneuverability of a level which is scarcely believable from such a
mighty
vehicle. Just like its natural namesake, famous for being able to
change its direction in flight in a flash. So it's no surprise that
the elegant falcon has virtually no natural predators.
