AC Schnitzer ACS7

Advertisement

This is an even more souped up version of the ultimate luxury sedan. The AC Schnitzer ACS7 based on the E65/E66 7-series.

The BMW 7-series combines two excellent properties of a car, luxury and driveability. This competitor to the 7 series was the first in the new controversial and ‘different’ look that BMW cars have now, courtesy of BMW design man Chris Bangle.

Basically what ACS has done for this car is a revised bodykit which just isn’t for so. Every part of the redesigned bodykit has a function, for example the front lip skirting acts as a diffuser, imposing more downforce on the front axle, giving the car more stability at high speeds. This is not your typical ah beng bodykit. It’s an AC Schnitzer!

Of course, you have to have that beautiful 5-spoke AC Schitzer sports rims, from 19 inch all the way up to 22 inch rims with 265/30/R22 tyres on the front and 295/25/R22 on the rear. Must cost a bomb!

Ride height is also lowered by 25mm with ACS progressive spring kits. The interior looks are also updated with aluminium trims and a new air-bag steering wheel.

Something’s missing here. Where are the quad tail pipes? :(

A very aggressive stance.

Does anyone think the bumper is kind of similiar to the Proton Satria GTi bumper or is it just me?
