F-16 jet inspired tuning kit for BMW X6 by Status Design

The legendary F-16 Falcon fighter jet is synonymous with lightweight and innovative design, not to mention ammunition that can level a small city. Russian tuner Status Design has recently unveiled a tuning kit for the BMW X6 that follows the plane’s philosophy.

Given the designation SD F 16, the package comprises of a body kit that includes a front bumper, back bumper with carbon fibre diffuser, two-tone design with black roof, CF mirrors, window mouldings, back spoiler, front grille and 22-inch Hartge wheels.

The F-16 Falcon was originally designed as a day time fighter, but Status Design’s “F 16” will have no problems with darkness thanks to LED angel eyes, a strip of LED driving lamps and Hella fog lamps that turn with the steering. It’s all meant to be easy to install, with no effect to ground clearance.

To match the decked out exterior, Status Design has increased power output from the X6 xDrive35i’s twin-turbo 3.0-litre engine to 380 hp (from 306 hp) by tuning the ECU along and adding a high flow air filter and sports exhaust. SD says that the F 16’s price is “pleasantly surprising”. Picture gallery after the jump.

    If the Iraqis saw a white F-16 coming, they would die laughing. No need to send the bombs in.

    Why didn’t America think of painting their F-16s like this one?

  • Don’t know why most of crazy tuning cars are painted in white. Maybe later they export to Doha where super rich arabs will buy this junks and these guys in Doha maybe love white color or some sort of over-pimp cars. Solid gold covered SLR & Porsche also in Doha. How lucky they are born to be super rich oil syeikh.

    Yeah I feel jealous at the same time feel they are stupid. Yes you got money but don’t drift 7 series just to show how rich you are. You look stupid.
