AC Schnitzer Falcon X5
The falcon has always been a born fighter, the bird of warriors and a status symbol of the mighty and powerful. The peregrine falcon, with a dive speed of more than 200 km/h, is the fastest bird in the world. With its broad “wings”, the new Falcon by AC Schnitzer also presents a majestic aura. The new widening kit for the front and rear wings perfectly harmonises with the existing accessory range from the Aachen-based tuner. (more…) -
AC Schnitzer BMW X6
An eyecatcher at first glance – this calls for a closer look AC Schnitzer presents the new styling and performance package for the BMW X6. The new BMW X6 exerts a particular form of magnetism: not only does its chassis sit perfectly on the road, it also magically attracts attention. Now it appears there is only one place where the fascination, dynamism and presence of the first Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) can be enhanced: in the workshops of AC Schnitzer in Aachen. The result is a visual and technical masterpiece which further magnifies the core qualities of the X6.
Engines – Exhaust
Typical AC Schnitzer: The vehicle’s appearance is not misleading, but simply a reflection of its inner values. The renowned BMW tuner has developed a real firecracker under the bonnet of the diesel versions 3.0dX and 3.5dX with a new Motor Control Unit. Precise performance data will be released shortly.
Another eyecatcher is the chromed tailpipes of the dual-flow exhaust system in AC Schnitzer Racing Design.The Suspension Technology
Of course, sheer engine power is not the only ingredient in sporting performance. So Manfred Wollgarten, Technical Director of AC Schnitzer, has developed a unique suspension spring kit for the X6 on the North Loop of the Nürburgring.
The Bodywork
In the X6 by AC Schnitzer, the front skirt with its diagonal air intakes and repositioned fog lights are exposed.
The drive-under protection has been removed in favour of a more dynamic contour of the spoiler edge.
The rear carries a massive skirt with framed edges.
In contrast to the original, all components are painted body-colour throughout, so the body appears downstretched and hence more dominant.
Instead of the drive-under protection originally fitted here, AC Schnitzer Designer Michele Viandante has opted for a rear diffuser.The Interior
Perfect handling with corresponding Look and Feel is ensured by the “EVO” 3-spoke Sport Airbag steering wheel.
With AC Schnitzer, you hold the road firmly in almost any position. The X6 by AC Schnitzer takes control on public roads as willingly as on changing terrain with varying up and down gradients!The Wheels
22 inches racing alloy wheels Type VII are just as fascinating.
We recommend Continental and Michelin.

AC Schnitzer at the British International Motor Show

AC Schnitzer – Sport Auto Leserwahl
Hat trick for AC Schnitzer in “sport auto” reader survey Top for Styling and Engine Tuning MINI by AC Schnitzer most successful vehicle of all classesThere are companies who offer visually exciting cars, and there are companies who invest their entire know-how in stable and refined technology. At AC Schnitzer however, no-one ever has to settle for a compromise. This has recently been confirmed again by the German magazine “sport auto”, whose readers have just voted on the most sporting cars and the “Best Brands“ amongst manufacturers and tuners for 2008. Around 10,000 people took part in the survey.
AC Schnitzer has even managed to improve on its already excellent results from last year, and this year won an impressive triple victory. In the “Engine Tuning” sector, 51.3% (2007: 47.2%) of voters chose the Aachen-based tuner which has dedicated itself to tuning BMWs and MINIs since 1987. In the “Visual Styling” category, AC Schnitzer again achieved the best result with 41.5% (2007: 40%).
But it’s not just as a company that AC Schnitzer won accolades. Its MINI was enthusiastically received by 60.4% of the sport auto readers in the category of tuned “small cars”. No other vehicle in the survey won more votes. Not in any of the eleven tuning classes which covered 84 cars, nor in the total of 146 standard models.
AC Schnitzer would like to thank all readers who participated in this survey for their vote of confidence.

AC Schnitzer GP3.10
Driving pleasure has been written large at AC Schnitzer for 20 years. And happily, nothing will change for the 62nd IAA. But this goal can be reached in a totally alternative way, as the launch of the superb AC Schnitzer GP3.10 GAS POWERED shows.

AC Schnitzer ACS5
The BMW X5 is a 4×4 hero especially brilliant at urban terrain, and that calls for different accessories from a conventional off-road-vehicle. With its new range, AC Schnitzer has adapted the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) perfectly to its natural environment. Like its predecessor, the E70 is an extremely agile vehicle despite its size. -
AC Schnitzer ACS5 Touring
1,1 HP per litre? This figure in relation to a high performance sports car such as the new ACS5 Sport Touring based on the BMW M5 certainly doesn’t refer to the conventional ratio of capacity to power. Instead: 500 litres luggage space meet 552 red-hot HP (406 kW). Plenty of room in every respect for incomparable driving pleasure on one hand, and a hang-glider, surfboard or mountain bike on the other. Drivers of vehicles like this think in different terms from conventional sports car drivers. But no way do they lag behind when it comes to driving dynamics.
