AC Schnitzer Blasts the BMW M6 with 612-Horses [w/Videos]

Having taking care of customers of the regular 6-Series models, the tuning experts at AC Schnitzer are now turning their focus on owners of the high-performance M6 with the release of engine, styling and chassis upgrades for all three body styles of the series, including the Coupe, Convertible and the four-door Gran Coupe, though, for now, we only get photos of the last two and videos of the latter.

The Aachen, Germany-based shop affords the M6 with a power boost that lifts the output of the twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 from 552hp (560PS) and 680Nm (501 lb-ft) to 612hp (620PS) and 790Nm (582 lb-ft) respectively. Together with the removal of the speed limiter, the M6 models can now cruise up to 305km/h (190mph).

You also get a sports suspension spring kit that lowers the ride height by 15 mm up front and 25 mm at the back.

AC Schnitzer’s exterior styling components include a carbon front spoiler, chromed front grille, carbon rear diffuser and rear spoiler (Coupe only), combined with 20 or 21 inch wheels and an available sports exhaust system with or without flap control.

The finishing touch comes with the interior kit that adds an aluminium cover for the iDrive, aluminium sport pedals and footrest, plus bespoke floor mats.
