Of course, "little brother" could not be 1: 1 copy of the concept car, as the excitement of presenting the technology that demonstrates what is technically possible. Instead, the road version of the tension has been included in the suitability for everyday use with no loss of driveability and reliability.
The development center of the adaptation of the breathtaking, costly aerodynamic conversion for series production.AC Schnitzer Tension Bonnet, the restyling of the normal 6-series, the Street version is used. It reveals at first sight, the air intake, edged in chrome frame, that the ventilation system is actively supporting a sufficient flow of cooling air.
The front skirt TENSION technology showcase has completely adapted. It makes the TENSION Street Version look much lower and, at the same time improves downforce on the front axle at high speeds. The air intake provides additional cooling for the engine and front brakes and also provides a road version of its unmistakable power.
To ensure adequate ventilation for the power plant, the new front wing has integral air outlet openings which with their three chrome ribs and the indicators are reminiscent of the mouth of a shark.Adequate air exchange is essential not only in the anterior part of the vehicle to develop its full potential. The same principle applies to the rear.
Therefore, in the version of Street voltage air ducts for the rear brakes have been incorporated into the striking side skirts. The side skirts which give the vehicle its elongated appearance of the smooth transition to the rear, as the street version of tension in relation to the concept car is still very sporting but slightly less lavish.The rear skirt houses not only the solid steel exhaust system chrome steel with two outputs Sport trim, but also a carbon diffuser.Another highlight at the rear of the street version of the tension is the trunk lid, which was reserved for stress. However, his style changed to give the back of the BMW 6 series of "finishing touches", so the new boot lid is now a firm part of the conversion of the Street version.
The body kit version of the power of the street is complemented by the AC Schnitzer sports mirrors and the extravagant two-color paint in Alpine White in combination with Anthracite Metallic. Naturally other paint options are available upon request.
What does a costly aerodynamic conversion so that without the right wheel and tire combination? We believe it is incomplete. So we decided to equip the street version of the tension with the latest AC Schnitzer wheel: the forged alloy Type V.Appearance is one thing, but more importantly in this context is the aspect of security. To take this into account, and also to meet the high technical requirements imposed on the AC Schnitzer wheel by our engineers, development of new complete wheels required.
The result is the Type V alloy forged wheel bi-color finish. He is polished, partly painted. This type of wheel for 5 and 6 of the series, achieves a fundamental paradox: reduction in weight with a diameter of the wheel at the same time width.
The street version of the tension is fitted with rims size 9.0J x 20 "on the front and 10.0J x 20" behind the two front wheels and weighs only approx. 10.8 kg. Tires to fit the wheels are size 245/35 ZR 20 front and 285/30 ZR 20 rear.In connection with the combination of wheels and tires, sports suspension developed for the street version, which lowers the voltage of the car about 25 to 30 mm and significantly improved driving dynamics. For M6, a suspension spring kit is available.
To counter lateral bending, AC Schnitzer sway bar sets was mounted on the front and rear axle. Another highlight is our own suspension railway leg of aluminum, as sovereign avoids deformation of the car in front.According to the base vehicle, the street version of tension with an option with the new engine 5.1 l AC Schnitzer. This is in principle available for all BMW 6-series with N62 B44 TU engines B48 or N62.
The new engine offers a real alternative to the M5 and M6. Because this conversion is also available for vehicles with automatic transmission, fans of automatics can now enjoy the pleasures of a higher power with the automatic.
Whereas the basic engine gives maximum torques of 450 Nm or 490, AC Schnitzer 5.1-liter engine achieves 550 Nm of course, performance is optimized. It rises to 245 kW (333 hp) or 270 kW (367 hp) is an outstanding 302 kW (411 hp). At the same time, driving performance has improved. The maximum speed will increase on average of about 35 km / h.
These excellent figures are obtained by the use of specially developed engine components. Individually, these are:AC Schnitzer special cylinder blockAC Schnitzer special cylinder headAC Schnitzer special pistonsAC Schnitzer special AUCTIONSAC Schnitzer special crankshaftAC Schnitzer exhaust manifoldAC Schnitzer special catalystAC Schnitzer Program Control UnitAC Schnitzer sports rear silencer with chrome exhaust finisher SportTo achieve excellent deceleration figures, the AC Schnitzer high performance braking system voltage has changed. On the front axle, fixed caliper pot with an 8-perforated ventilated brake discs and pads ensures braking with special ruthless efficiency. But is it reserved for kit versions based on the BMW M6 street.
Only the interior remains, and this too has been modified in typical AC Schnitzer fashion: Starting with carbon trim in titanium with 3-spoke airbag sports steering wheel in leather with carbon applications, the automatic selector lever in carbon, The new Combi instrument with a speed display to 320 or 330 km / h, thanks to the velvet carpet for the feet and start with red embroidered logo: this all gives the characteristic appearance within the version Street excitement. The general impression is completed by accessories in silver or black anodized aluminum including pedals, footrest, handbrake and the cover for the controller of the "i-Drive" systems.
Last but not least, the number of silver standard on the black anodized aluminum plate on the center console constantly reminds the driver that it is in a very special car: eg, the TENSION Street Version no. 1 / 50.The AC Schnitzer TENSION Street Version is available at different levels. The conversion work is performed exclusively by AC Schnitzer in Aachen. The only exceptions are the United States and Japan, where trained specialists perform the vehicle conversion locally.
