BMW X6 Disguised For the first time, fans of cars in the world, an automotive website, has seen the BMW X6 off-road, passing off, barely disguised. Initial plans for the future spy BMW X6, a crossover SUV, were taken in late 2006 around the BMW headquarters in Munich.
Meanwhile, the connection of cars, another site of Auto, their applications, spy photos are official statement confirming BMW made at the last Geneva Motor Show.
The X6 is the camouflage off and the sloping roofline cut, as the Bavarian automaker is about to try to widen the range X5 model with an additional 4x4 "cut", which is based on same platform.
In this case, the word "cut" does not mean a two-door, but as in marketing jargon Mercedes CLS500, a sporty model with roof off as if it has four doors.
The Car Connection saw the first tower being developed X6 famous Nurburgring in Germany. These early development mules have a modular structure that allows all weight wise and critical elements to be put differently and in small steps, to find the optimum position for the excellent riding, handling, management and practice. In addition, the mules giving ready access to the suspension geometry, springs, dampers, and steering, which can all be modified and refined.
aggressive application of the concept of BMW four-door-coupe, which was the first time on the Mercedes CLS, the SUV / crossover type car is particularly interesting. On the market today are targeted performance SUVs on the offer. But the X6 adopts a stylistic approach distinctivr seems to be the most jealous "form-over-function SUV design effort seen to date in the history of the automobile industry.
On the spy photos, the roof begins X6 important downward after the B-pillar and continues plunging right waist increases the X6. The result is that the margin of the second row and rear cargo volume are both severely compromised. The new X6 will be longer and lower compared to the new X5, but this crossover should accommodate four passengers. However, what sport X6 loses seats will be gained in performance. BMW fans need to wait until next year that the X6 will be available.
The test mule has a body non-production is made as simple as possible to protect the mechanical parts. The car spied offers no indication of the style or the final vehicle design.
This extension of the range is said to be a crossover sport research with four passenger seats. It is equipped with front mounted engines ranging from a V-8 with either 340 hp or 450 hp, a V-10 with 612 hp.
By providing a high driving position and four-wheel drive, BMW did not direct competitors, at least initially. But the Bavarian automaker has only the throne to take on Porsche Panamera, a four-door coupe that is due in 2009.
As the current and the next X5, the new X6 will be South Carolina United States and is scheduled for 2008.
The company also manufactures BMW 325Ci parts .
