AC SCHNITZER'S TENSION
November 09, 2005News : AC Schnitzer :
AC Schnitzer's "Tension" project vehicle, based on the M6, is inTENSE. By optimizing the entire engine management system and fitting an exhaust manifold system with catalyst and sports rear silencer, the TENSION achieves an incredible 552hp.
A potent braking system reigns in the horses, while the Tension rides on new Type IV Forged wheels in size 10.0" x 20" all around.
Driving dynamics are advanced with an adjustable racing suspension, anti-roll bars, and a specially developed strut brace made of aluminum and carbon.
The TENSION body conversion is absolutely breathtaking, and is completely dedicated to optimizing aerodynamics. Visually, the body of the M6 has been widened by 50mm.
The hood incorporates a power bulge; also included is a front spoiler with large air intake, front wings with air outlet openings, 3 chromed ribs with integrated side indicators, striking side skirts with large air shaft and rear spoiler. Most incredible is the ability to easily switch-out the rear diffuser and rear wing. The interior is a combination of developments from the AC Schnitzer's standard range and special one-off products.
The vehicle was unveiled at the Franfurt Auto show where Autoweek's Matt Davis got a look. In October 24th's issue, Autoweek's article titled "Six-Pack Abs", thoroughly re-caps the modifications to the Tension. The list of technical and aesthetic enhancements goes on and on making the $310,000 price tag a bit easier to comprehend.
