An In-depth Look at the 2016 AC Schnitzer BMW X6 Falcon
The 2016 AC Schnitzer BMW X6 Falcon stands as a testament to the possibilities of automotive innovation and design. This exceptional vehicle boasts impressive performance enhancements, a distinct sound profile, and eye-catching aesthetic features. However, it's not just the specifications that demand attention but the overall synthesis of power, speed, and elegance that this vehicle embodies.
Boosted Performance
The X6 Falcon presents a notable step up in performance compared to its base models. The power output ranges from 306 to 360 hp for the X6 35i, 450 to 525 hp for the X6 50i, and an astounding 575 to 650 hp for the BMW X6 M. Even the diesel variants, the X6 30d and 40d, show a significant increase in horsepower, pushing 309 and 360 hp respectively. It appears that AC Schnitzer aimed to leave competitors in the dust with the X6 Falcon's enhanced performance.
A Symphony of Sounds
The X6 Falcon doesn't shy away from announcing its presence. The vehicle is equipped with a variety of AC Schnitzer silencer options with "Racing" tailpipes, which provide a unique auditory signature. Particularly interesting is the AC Schnitzer sound module set for diesel variants, offering seven different exhaust notes controllable via remote. It's a fascinating touch that allows even the diesel versions of the X6 to boast a distinctive sound at low revs.
Aggressive Aesthetics
The visual impact of the X6 Falcon is as bold as its performance figures suggest. Its beefy, ten-piece AC Schnitzer Falcon widening kit gives it a muscular stance even when stationary. The front skirt, bonnet vents, carbon mirror cover, rear diffusor, carbon rear skirt insert, and other special developments contribute to its robust image. The vehicle's look leaves no doubt about its purpose - it is designed for speed.
Precision Handling
The X6 Falcon's control and handling are enhanced with AC Schnitzer's suspension spring sets, lowering the vehicle by 15 - 20 mm front and rear. This modification not only improves precision but also contributes to the vehicle's aggressive stance.
An Interior Fusion of Elegance and Power
Inside the X6 Falcon, one finds a sophisticated blend of athleticism and elegance. The interior features an aluminium pedal set, foot rest, AC Schnitzer keyholder, and velour foot mats. It's a fitting complement to the car's exterior bravado, a subtle reminder that beneath its rugged façade lies a commitment to luxury and comfort.
A Showcase of Wheel Designs
The X6 Falcon provides an array of wheel options, starting with the reinterpreted classic double-spoke AC1 wheels. A variety of other wheel types in BiColor, matt anthracite, or BiColor black, all with corresponding tyres, offer a broad canvas for customization, enhancing the vehicle's hybrid sporting look.
Soaring Above the Standard
With the X6 Falcon, AC Schnitzer has produced a vehicle that seems to transcend conventional limits. This model encapsulates a vision of automotive potential that goes beyond basic standards. However, amidst all its high-performance specs and aggressive design, it's crucial to remember that this vehicle represents a unique blend of power, speed, and elegance, truly making it a 'Falcon' among flightless rivals on the road.
