A special BMW X6 will make its debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show: a X6 with wide range of products from BMW Performance. The BMW Performance Aerodynamics Kit for the BMW X6 includes: front bumper, side-sills and an insert for the rear bumper, all in special design and all finished in body color and can be extended to a rear spoiler, rear fins in matte black and a front grid finished in high-gloss black paint. There is also a set of 21" light-alloy wheels.

Also, thanks to the new BMW Performance Power Kit the maximum output of the V8 engine can be raised by 41 hp to a total of 448 hp. The sprint from 0 to 60 mph is also improved by 0.2 seconds.

The new BMW X6 with Performance Aerodynamics Kit will be available stating June 2010.

The BMW X6 stands out in particular through its unique sporting looks and performance, unmistakable design adding a most exclusive touch. And now the truly discerning driver is able to make the driving experience and looks of the world’s first Sports Activity Coupé even more outstanding, tailoring all the car’s features to his individual, sporting preferences.

The wide range of products from BMW Performance offers numerous options for this purpose, ensuring an even more intense experience of riving dynamics and the fascinating, aesthetic design of the BMW X6. The range of retrofittable options specially developed for BMW’s unique Sports Activity Coupé for the drivetrain, suspension, aerodynamics and cockpit is included in the broad selection of BMW Original Accessories.

BMW Performance components convey know-how from motorsport to the road, expressing a particular passion for supreme performance and characteristic design. All features in the BMW Performance product line are available individually, enabling the driver of a BMW X6, through the choice of selected components, to set clear sporting highlights in all areas he finds particularly relevant. At the same time all BMW Performance products may be combined with one another to provide a harmoniously balanced overall package.

Aerodynamics and the suspension: precise optimisation, individual style.

The sporting looks of the BMW X6 are accentuated more than ever before by the BMW Performance Aerodynamics Kit with features and elements tailored exactly in both style and function to BMW’s Sports Activity Coupé. This even includes the cameras and sensors for the Park Distance Control, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and the Side View driver assistance system. The BMW Performance Aerodynamics Kit is made up of the front bumper, side-sills and an insert for the rear bumper, all in special design and all finished in body colour.

The BMW Performance Aerodynamics Kit for the BMW X6 may also be supplemented by a rear spoiler, rear fins in matt black and a front grid finished in high-gloss black paint.

BMW Performance light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design further optimise the dynamic driving potential and the striking looks of the BMW X6. Reduced in weight, these cast light-alloy 12-inch wheels stand out in particular through their roll-milled rim hump and exclusive twin-tone finish with a glossy outside surface and Ferric Grey paintwork between the rims. A special production method reduces the weight of each wheel by approximately 1,500 grams compared with conventional wheels of the same size.

The reduction in unsprung masses ensured in this way has a positive effect on both the driving dynamics and steering behaviour of the BMW X6. The BMW Performance light-alloy wheels come on tyres varying in size from front to rear and featuring runflat qualities allowing the driver to continue even after a complete loss of pressure.

Rim dimensions are 10J x 21 at the front on 285/35 R21 tyres and 11.5J x 21 on 325/30 R21 tyres at the rear.

BMW Performance Power Kit: even more muscle when accelerating

The BMW Performance Power Kit available as a retrofittbale option on the gasoline versions of the BMW X6 as of June 2010 increases both torque and acceleration to an even higher standard. Developed specifically for the V8 power unit in the BMW X6 xDrive50i and the straight-six in the BMW X6 xDrive35i, the Performance Power Kit significantly improves both acceleration and elasticity through a further increase in maximum output and peak torque precisely matched to the car’s power characteristics. The BMW Performance Power Kit comprises appropriate modifications to engine management with a positive effect on the development of power in both engines. The Kit was developed by BMW’s engine specialists and naturally reflects the high quality standards of the BMW Group with the increase in power and torque remaining in full compliance with all warranty rights and claims on the part of the customer.

The BMW Performance Power Kit raises maximum output of the eightcylinder with BMW TwinPower Turbo and High Precision Injection in the BMW X6 xDrive50i by 30 kW/41 hp to 330 kW/448 hp. Peak torque, in turn, is up by 50 Newton-metres/37 lb-ft to 650 Nm/479 lb-ft.The six-cylinder power unit of the BMW X6 xDrive35i equipped with Twin Turbo technology and High Precision Injection shows an increase in maximum output by 15 kW/20 hp to 240 kW/326 hp, with peak torque increasing by 50 to 450 Newton-metres/332 lb-ft.

Benefiting from the BMW Performance Power Kit, both models accelerate 0.2 seconds faster from a standstill to 100 km/h, the BMW X6 xDrive50i with the BMW Performance Power Kit completing this sprint in 5.2 seconds, the BMW X6 xDrive35i in 6.5 seconds. Acceleration in gears from 80 – 120 km/h (50 – 75 mph) is 0.5 seconds faster in each model. Likewise starting in June 2010, BMW Performance also offers a sports exhaust system. Available also on the BMW X6 xDrive50i and BMW X6 xDrive35i, this option stands out clearly through its chrome-plated tailpipes, at the same time offering even lower weight and a particularly striking sound pattern together with a further reduction of exhaust counter-pressure.

Cockpit: driver’s workplace like in a sports car

BMW Performance offers attractive accessories also for the car’s interior design, again raising the sporting driving experience in the BMW X6 to an even higher standard. As an example, all model variants of BMW’s Sports Activity Coupé may be equipped with a BMW Performance sports steering wheel with a flattened rim at the bottom and alcantara coating for optimum grip and a pleasant touch in all temperatures.

The driver’s workplace is further optimised in the true style of a genuine sports car by BMW Performance aluminium pedals and the BMW Performance driver’s footrest. In their technical features and design all of the BMW Performance components available in the BMW X6 comply in full with the typical style of the brand and naturally fulfil all of BMW’s supreme standards in terms of quality and safety. Accordingly, they are fully in line with all BMW warranty standards and requirements.

BMW Performance accessories and features are sold and fitted by BMW Dealers and Service Partner as well as BMW Retail Outlets.

2012 Jaguar XJ Sport and Speed

2012 Jaguar XJ Sport and Speed

For a place that is known for their onslaught of money and exotic cars, Dubai seemed like a for good spot for Jaguar to release two new packages for the XJ luxury sedan. The new Jaguar XJ Sport and Speed packages were revealed at the Dubai International Motor Show and include exterior and interior updates, as well as aerodynamic updates for better performance.

"The XJ is much more than a limousine. Its power and potential mean it can out-perform many so-called sports cars. The new Sport and Speed Packs allow customers to enhance that sporting dynamism even further and create an XJ that looks as good as it drives," said Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars.

The first new performance driven option pack is called the Speed Pack and was put together for the 510 HP XJ Supersport. The second option pack is the Sport and Speed Pack and was customized for the 470 HP XJ Supercharged. Both packs are available in standard and long wheelbase variants.

Exterior

The first changes customers will receive with the new Sport and Speed packages will be aerodynamic. The vehicles were put through extreme testing in the wind tunnel for Jaguar engineers to find the best solutions for improving the cars’ performances. The new packages will both feature a new front air splitter to reduce lift, a new rear spoiler, red painted brake calipers with Jaguar script, a gloss black radiator grille with a chrome surround, and a gloss black lower grille. The rear bootlid has been extended to ensure a clean separation of air from the trailing edge of the bodywork. Both packages will also get a gloss black mesh in the side power vent, but depending on the model, will receive "Supersport" or "Supercharged" badges. The Sport and Speed pack will add 20-inch "Venom" style wheels, while the Speed Pack gets a choice between the same "Venom" wheels or 20" "Mataiva" style wheels, both with a diamond-turned sparkle silver finish.

Interior

Both the Sport and Speed Pack and the Speed Pack get interior modifications, but while the Speed Pack only gets one option, the Sport and Speed Pack is inundated with choices. The Speed Pack will only get one exclusive interior color option: Jet Black interior with Red contrast stitching. The Sport and Speed Pack, on the other hand, will get two choices: Jet Black soft grain leather seats with Ivory contrast stitching or Ivory Colored soft grain leather seats with Jet Black contrast stitching. The Sport and Speed Pack will also include a premium Suedecloth headlining in Jet or Ivory, Piano Black or an optional Carbon Fiber veneer, and bright metal pedal kit with rubber pads.

Engine

The Sport Pack can be combined with any of the 3.0 V6 petrol or naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter AJ-V8 engines, but the Sport and Speed Pack will only be available for the V8 version. Both packages will benefit from increased top speeds because of the range of aerodynamic changes done, as well as a recalibrated engine management system. The Jaguar will now be able to top out at 174 mph, instead of the standard 155 mph.

Prices

Prices for the new Sport and Speed package will be announced at a later date.

Competition

The Jaguar XJ is undoubtedly an amazing car. It looks great, has a tremendous amount of power, and everything a potential owner looks for in a car. With the new Speed and Sport packages, the XJ becomes an even more powerful competitor for models like the Mercedes S63 AMG and the Porsche Panamera Turbo.

The Mercedes S63 uses a 6.3 liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 518 HP - 8 HP more than the XJ - but it has the disadvantage of being limited to only 155 mph. The Panamera Turbo uses a 4.8 liter Turbocharged V8 engine with an output of 500 HP, amking a tad bit less powerful than the XJ.

2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

Dodge is bringing back its Super Bee package for one more nostalgic round in the hands of the brand’s ever-popular Charger muscle car. The Super Bee designation was first placed on a 1968 Coronet model before it was moved on over to the Charger model in 1971. It then took a long hiatus before it was applied once again, this time on the Charger SRT8 Super Bee model in 2006, 2007, and 2008. And now the Super Bee name will be offered once again for the 2012 model year.

"The 2012 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee is a salute to the fun-loving past of Dodge muscle cars powered by the legendary 392 HEMI V-8 in a back-to-basics performance machine," Ralph Gilles, President and CEO - SRT and Motorsports said.

The special Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee is set to make its world debut next week at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

Exterior and Interior

2007 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee

The 2012 Charger SRT8 Super Bee will be offered in either a Stinger Yellow or Pitch Black exterior paint finish combined with a unique SRT badge with a 3-D helmeted bee mascot on the new Gloss Black split cross hair grille. The models painted in Stinger Yellow will be offered with a satin black hood and black decklid stripes with a solid wide center line flanked by solid dual tracer lines. The Pitch Black version will be offered with while charcoal gray graphics on the hood and decklid. Both versions will feature "392 HEMI" badges on the front fenders and "Powered by SR" logos on both rear fenders. The car will sit on a new set of 20 x 9-inch, five-spoke cast-aluminum wheels with black painted pockets.

The new interior for the Super Bee was inspired by the racing models and features the SRT exclusive three-spoke contoured performance steering wheel and exclusive Z-stripe cloth performance seats with amped yellow and silver striping in both the front and rear.
