570HP BMW AC Schnitzer ACL2 – Video

M – you can always recognise a true sports car from this letter. Based on the BMW M235i, a sports car is being presented which no longer has the letter M but instead bears the letters AC in its name. This letter combination is well known to all motorsport-loving BMW drivers: the tuning company AC Schnitzer has been synonymous with vehicle technology beyond the M-standard for almost 30 years.

The AC Schnitzer ACL2 is a concept vehicle not for sale, which was produced as a technology platform for AC Schnitzer product development. In its current form, the vehicle would cost € 149,000.00.

Many conversions in the body, interior and wheelset are part of the AC Schnitzer retail range for the 2 series model range. All are homologated and available via BMW dealers.

 

 

With the ACL2, the BMW tuning experts present a vehicle which delivers 570hp to the road. This is possible thanks to the replacement of the standard engine by an M4 power plant with an
AC Schnitzer performance upgrade, and by eliminating the Vmax limit via control unit programming. The rear limited slip differential with Drexler diff lock from 25 to 95 percent allows extremely quick cornering. The optimised carbon intake tract and lightweight battery further illustrate the meaning of the letter “L” in the name of the concept vehicle (not available for sale).

Under the motto “Less is more”, the Aachen-based engineers have designed the ACL2 so light that, with 2.59 kg per hp, it puts vehicles like the Ferrari 458 Italia or the Porsche 911 GT3 RS in the shade.
