AC Schnitzer ACS5 AC 99D and S Sports

The German BMW specialist shows in the Geneva Motor Show two concepts of production: an extreme variant of the BMW 5 Series and BMW Z4 ecological review. Who said the tuning was born and wasting horsepower? What do you think? Leave your comments, the most interesting will be published in the journal Hwy.

Alternatively, this news debate on our forums. AC Schnitzer arrives at the Geneva Motor Show 2011 with a menu of contrasts. There will be two production concepts that will look at its stand: the ACS5 Sports Sedan S and AC 99D. The first is an enhanced version of the BMW 550i, while the second is a review it delBMW Z4 roadster in green.

Quite a surprise when talking about tuning, much as it is of quality begin with the first, that that does not deviate from the path to which we are accustomed to AC Schnitzer. Based on the most powerful engine in the range of BMW 5-Series, 4.4-V8, 407 hp, the specialist Germany increased its power to 540 hp.

However, the injection of power consumption does not penalize the 550i, which, as the Germans, is maintained at 10.4 l/100 km. A mechanical alteration in addition small aesthetic details that remind us that we speak of a preparation: a front diffuser, new side sills, a black vinyl wedge-shaped hood and sports rims.

But it will take more care in the sample will be the AC Swiss 99D and not just the striking body stickers adorned with green and black. It seems that after the announcement of the green line BMWi, the coach next to the Bavarian manufacturer wants to adapt to changing times and, why not? Z4 convert into an ecological model.

The first thing is to add the AC Schnitzer roadster 2.0 Diesel direct injection and 163 hp 320d EfficientDynamics equipped and reduce your weight by 250 kilos. We could not miss the power increase, although the coach be very discreet, less than 30 hp. In total 190 hp with improving the performance of the 320d, reaching 235 km / h speed limit and accelerating to 100 km / h in 6.9 seconds.

Despite the amazing power injection of fuel consumption and emissions: 3.8 l/100 km and 99 g / km of CO2. This shows that the path that respects the environment can be taken by anyone, including the world of tuning.
