Germany’s AC Schnitzer will present present a tuning of BMW 650i Coupe called ACS6 at the imminent 2011 Essen Motor Show (26 November - 4 December). The standard 4.4-litre V8 engine delivering 407 hp has been heavily revised with unspecified modifications and now boasts an output of 540 hp at 5,800 rpm with a torque of no less than 750 Nm. This unit makes AC Schnitzer 650i Coupe go from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4,3 seconds with 325 km/h (200 mph) of self-imposed top speed. This means that, in comparison to the M5, the ACS6 is a tenth of a second quicker on the 0-100 km/h sprint time and has a far superior maximum speed. Obviously, in order to manage all the power, AC Schnitzer had to upgrade the braking system (now featuring 8-piston calipers) as well as providing the car with a lower high performance suspension.

The ACS6 package also uses beautiful and ultra-light 21″ forged alloys (front pair weighing in at 11.5 kg, rear pair at 11.9 kg), a new ‘M-looking’ front bumper, chromed front grille with matching fender trim pieces, rear bumper with built-in diffuser and optonal rear spoiler. As for the interior, AC Schnitzer’s latest package includes a new steering wheel, embossed aluminum pedal covers, customized floor mats, a “Black Line” aluminum cover for the iDrive controller and some more aluminum trim.
