2006 AC Schnitzer Tension Street Version

2006 AC Schnitzer Tension Street Version Naturally the "small brother" couldn't be a 1 : 1 copy of the Concept Car, because the TENSION is a technology showcase which demonstrates what is technically possible. In evaluation, the TENSION Street Version needed to comprise suitability for normal use without a loss of using pleasure or reliability.

The focal point of the development work was version of the breathtaking, highly-priced aerodynamic conversion for series production.

The bonnet of the AC Schnitzer TENSION, restyled from the standard 6-series, is used at the Street Version. It well-knownshows at the beginning glance, from its huge air outlet edged in a chrome frame, that the air flow of the electricity plant is actively supported through enough cooling air flow .

The the front skirt of the TENSION generation showcase has been absolutely tailored. It makes the TENSION Street Version appearance a whole lot decrease and at the identical time improves downforce at the front axle at high speeds. The air consumption presents extra cooling for the engine and the the front brakes and additionally gives the TENSION Street Version its unmistakeable facial features .

Appearance is one element, but a good deal greater crucial on this context is the protection aspect. To take this into account, and secondly to fulfill the excessive technical demands placed at the AC Schnitzer wheel by way of our engineers, a complete new wheel improvement was required.

The end result is the Type V alloy solid wheel with bi-coloration finish . It has a partly polished, in part painted surface . This wheel kind, available for all 5 and six-collection, achieves a fundamental paradox: discount in weight with concurrently most wheel diameter and width.

The TENSION Street Version is fitted with rims size 9.0J x 20" at the front and 10.0J x 20" on the rear, and every front wheel weighs in at simply approx. 10.Eight kg . The tyres to healthy the wheels are size 245/35 ZR 20 at the front and 285/30 ZR 20 at the rear .

In conjunction with the wheel and tyre aggregate, a sports suspension has been evolved for the TENSION Street Version which lowers the vehicle with the aid of around 25 - 30 mm and perceptibly improves using dynamics . For the M6, a suspension spring package is available.

To counter lateral roll, AC Schnitzer antiroll bar units are suited to the front and rear axles . Another suspension spotlight is our in-house spring strut brace of aluminium which fantastically prevents distortion in the car the front .

Depending on base vehicle, the TENSION Street Version may be outfitted optionally with the brand new AC Schnitzer five.1 l engine . This is available in principle for all BMW 6-series with N62 B44 or N62 B48 TU engines.

The new engine gives a real alternative to the M5 or M6 . As this conversion is also to be had for motors with automated transmission , enthusiasts of automatics can now revel in the better energy in conjunction with the pleasures of an automatic .

Whereas the basic engine offers most torques of 450 or 490 Nm , the AC Schnitzer five.1 l engine achieves 550 Nm . Naturally the overall performance has been optimised. It rises from 245 kW (333 HP) or 270 kW (367 HP) to a wonderful 302 kW (411 HP) . At the equal time, using performance is superior. The pinnacle velocity rises on average via round 35 km/h .

These excellent figures are received by means of the use of mainly evolved engine components. Individually, these are:

• AC Schnitzer unique cylinder block
