BMW will unveil the new 6-series in autumn 2007. The Coupe will remain practically unchanged, the big modifications coming from under the sheet metal.

As a potential candidate for 300, the AC Schnitzer TENSION was invited to this event.

Racing Dynamics built their Typhoon Roadster based on a BMW 6-Series. The Typhoon features a new direct-injection, Valvetronic 7,5 liter V-12 pushing 655 HP through a 6-Speed SMG II Sequential gearbox, make the Typhoon Roadster (R75 SC) the top performer in the Racing Dynamics range, and the most powerful car we have ever built.
There are rumors that a diesel version for the 6-Series is set to arrive. It will be powered by a V6 bi-turbodiesel engine with a maximum output of 286 hp.
The power of the diesel engine should be enough so the 635d should have a top speed of 155 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.8 seconds.
Mercedes-Benz is known to have had better days, but there’s one model in their range that is currently unprecedented and unmatched by any competitor. The very inventor of the four-door-coupe, the CLS-Class is an amazing mix of elegance, comfort, dynamics and practicality. While already a big hit, it has sure drawn the competition’s attention.

COMFORTABLE, LUXURIOUS, POWERFUL...
500 horsepower, 700 Nm – absurd in an open-topped sports car? Far from it. The V8’s beguiling ound and opulent torque entice the driver to glide along in a relaxed fashion, any and all red-line orgies far afield, much like cruising on a Harley Davidson. This provides the time to drink in the top-down melànge of breezes, scents and sounds
ALPINA present the B6 Cabrio – a viable alternative – combining performance and luxury with a high degree of (...)
