HAMANN- Motorsport Presents the TYCOON EVO as a World Premiere at the 63rd Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA).
LAUPHEIM, GERMANY – September 2, 2009: Already for the eights time, HAMANN-Motorsport presents its exclusive refining programme at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
In hall 5.0, exhibition stand B.32, the renowned BMW specialist and tuner of the most excellent luxury sports cars presents it latest developments. One of the displayed highlights of the 450 square metre large HAMANN stand is the world premiere of the TYCOON EVO which is based on the BMW X6. The revolutionary difference to its predecessor is the newly designed fender extensions and the striking rear. The visual and sonorous highlights of the rear part are the earthy sports exhaust system with the remarkable centre double end pipes.
The TYCOON EVO– an auto-body pack which sets
benchmarks
Already the design department at HAMANN-Motorsport
ensures that the TYCOON EVO meets the expectations in his name. They
designed and developed an impressive broad makeover for this BMW crossover
model and ensured that all accessories reflect and perfect the shape of the
car. The masculine appearance of the TYCOON EVO is mainly emphasised by its
new front wings and back wing extensions made of light composite material.
They broaden the body by striking 60 millimetres. The perfectly designed
side skirts render the optical connection while the front apron is an
outstanding eye-catcher with its large air inlets and the LED daytime
running lights under the serial headlights. At the rear of the X6, HAMANN
engineers replaced the original skirt with an own development. This makes
place for the sporty and earthy exhaust system with the centre double end
pipes. The back appearance of the TYCOON EVO is enhanced by a rear- and
roof spoiler. It goes without saying that all used HAMANN-components do not
only convince with their design but also with their aerodynamics. They
ensure an optimised air flow over the car silhouette and render an
additional downthrust.
Perfectly styled from head to toe – the suitable rim in XXL
format
The suitable rim for the broad makeover of the BMW X6 is the
DESIGN EDITION RACE ANODIZED. The ultra-light forged wheel combines both
agility and also elegance. The black rim star and the titanium bolting
underline the dynamics of the wheel. The highly polished rim flange on the
contrary gives the car a noble impression. HAMANN offers the 23-inch wheel
with tyres sized 315/25 R 23. Special chassis springs fantastically enhance
the light alloy wheels. Thereby, progressively coiled springs lower the
barycentre of this Sports Utility Vehicle by maximally 40 millimetres at
the front- and back axle.
HAMANN performance kits – from tycoon to typhoon
The
choice of different HAMANN performance kits is as manifold as the selection
of BMW engines. The tuning expert bestows the X6 xDrive35i with an engine
output of 360 hp / 265 kW at 5230 rpm. Parallelly, the maximum torque rises
by 140 Nm to 540 Nm in the rpm-range between 1300 and 5000. At the same
time, HAMANN also suspends the speed limit of 250 km/h and allows
impressive 275 km/h.
The Diesel series also profits from extra power. After the serial motronic is re-programmed, the xDrive30d has 265 PS / 195 kW and transfers a maximum torque of 600 Nm to the crankshaft. The engine variation xDrive35d also turns into a racy sprinter: HAMANN is able to tease 320 PS / 235 KW and a sensational torque of 660 Nm at 2000 rpm out of the Diesel car
The maximum performance enhancement HAMANN offers is for the eight-cylinder model xDrive50i. By using a new motor electronics map and by applying metal catalysts and the matching sport exhaust system, the engine output increase to 501 hp / 368 kW at 5,600 r.p.m. (serial version: 407 hp / 300 kW at 5,500 r.p.m.). The maximum torque rises to enormous 700 Nm at 3,700 r.p.m (serial version: 600 Nm at 1,750 r.p.m.). Also the maximum speed rises significantly and only misses the 300 km/h notch by a whisker.
The inner values of HAMANN – noble accessories for the TYCOON
EVO interior
In addition to the present, serial inner design, HAMANN
offers accessories made of high-quality aluminium. Pedals and foot rests
render motorsports sensations and perfectly match the 12-part HAMANN
decoration set made of carbon fibre. An instrument dial with a scaling up
to 300 km/h and a 3-spoke sport steering wheel further underline the
sportive overall appearance of the TYCOON EVO. For the boot of the X6,
HAMANN offers an elegant and also practical boot mat with chequered
decorative stitching and an embroidered logo.
