(from AC Schnitzer
Press Release) Strong Presence Between Sky and Road
AC Schnitzer presents a complete
range for the 650i Convertible
Since spring this year,
the new BMW 6-series has been providing airy driving pleasure
between sky and road. The open 6-series fun is now enhanced by
Aachen company AC Schnitzer with its tuning range for the 650i
Cabriolet, which celebrates its premiere at the IAA in Frankfurt
this year.
Top down driving
pleasure and aerodynamics have not been mutually exclusive for some
time. This is proven by the tuning experts with aerodynamic
components previously unavailable in this form. Front spoiler,
chromed front grille and chrome decor strips can be fitted
individually or as a harmonious set to realize the dream of an
individual sporting vehicle. AC Schnitzer also offers a rear skirt
insert and loading lip protection film to give the bodywork of the
6-series cabrio that finishing touch.
In the engine too, no
technical know-how has been spared with a wealth of innovations. The
650i Cabrio by AC Schnitzer has been given a performance upgrade
taking it from 407 HP (standard) to 540 HP. Now the eight-cylinder
engine accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. Added to
this is the AC Schnitzer power plant and engine bay styling, which
demonstrates the power of the engine even when stopped. The AC
Schnitzer twin sports rear silencer with chromed "Sport Trim“
tailpipe trims right and left means that the 650i can also be seen
and heard from behind.
For the export market,
the Aachen tuning experts have developed an 8-pot high performance
brake system for the front, in response to the increased driving
power. The 8-piston fixed calipers on right and left, and the
8-piece set of brake pads with caliper holders together ensure that
the "open-topped rocket" scrubs off the speed quickly and safely.
The driving dynamics are further assisted over bumps by the AC
Schnitzer suspension spring kit.
In the interior too, the
650i by AC Schnitzer lives up to its exterior promises. Interior
trim painted in matt space grey, a sports airbag steering wheel, the
AC Schnitzer "Black Line“ aluminium cover for the i-Drive system
controller and the AC Schnitzer aluminium foot rests and pedals,
together with boot and foot mats in velours, ensure that the driver
of this cabrio enjoys a feeling of exclusivity.
The wheelarches can be
perfectly filled with AC Schnitzer wheels and corresponding tyres in
Type IV BiColor or silver, Type V forged alloy rims in BiColor or
Type VIII in BiColor or as forged racing rims in BiColor. A totally
new addition to the range is the Type VIII forged alloy wheel in
BiColor in 21-inch, which weighs in at just a sensational 11.5 kg
(9.0J x 21") or 11.9 kg (10.0J x 21"). So in comparison with
standard wheels (star spoke 311) in 20-inch, these offer a weight
saving of 30%. And that's despite the fact that the AC Schnitzer
Type VIII forged alloy wheels are a full inch larger.
A strong presence
between sky and road which will certainly not pass unnoticed at the
coming IAA.
