X6 Gets The Schnitzer Treatment
Quirky BMW transformed into a bird of prey
Mother nature had forgotten to put 22in rims on her falcon
Revealed yesterday via a press release that comically labours the Falcon metaphor, this latest ‘bird of prey’ is ‘perfectly adapted to its habitat’, says the company:
“Instead of sweeping through the sky, it swept around the North Loop of the Nürburgring in numerous laps until the chassis developers were totally satisfied with the set-up…
“Now the X6 remains firmly on the ground even at speeds which a normal Falcon only achieves in a nosedive…”
And our favourite?
“While birds sing in high keys, the bass engine note of the Falcon is more suggestive of a big cat.”
Perched on its 22ins alloy wheels, (‘perched’ – geddit?) Schnitzer’s X6 Falcon is blessed with PU plastic body extensions, ‘racing’ tailpipes and lots of go-faster trim decorating the interior.
With a small power increase from a modified ECU, we’ll take Schnitzer’s word that this is a car “with no natural enemies out there”.
just leave it all black, with tinted windows, and no falcon bloody writing on it!! and take those sily black wheels off it too.
but if you read the article it mentions it has some other body extensions and different exhausts.
it may be a pointless car, but i'm sure it's a lovely drive and they have presence
What.
Do people genuinely step back and go, "yeh, this car looks hot". Mentalists.
On the plus side at least i am virtually guaranteed of never seeing one in person.I hear it goes well, handles well, and will of course be well engineered, but for Gods sake why does it have to be so ugly ?
