AC Schnitzer's motto for the Geneva Motor Show 2011 is "Efficient
Performance". On its stand in Hall 2, the Aachen-based tuner presents its entire
know-how for BMW vehicles in the form of two unique cars.
Both cars as a
whole are concept cars, but at the same time both present a wealth of special
accessories from the AC Schnitzer sales range for the model series concerned.
However different, both incorporate in their own way the limits of technical
feasibility and are real AC Schnitzer developments through and through. And both
are the same price: 149,000 EUR ($200,000).

AC Schnitzer ACS5 Sport S
The AC Schnitzer ACS5
Sport S Saloon reveals new and unusual aspects of driving pleasure. The
development engineers have pushed back the boundaries of the possible, for
greater dynamics and greater efficiency. The driving behavior of the new saloon
is worthy of a thoroughbred sports car.
Despite the huge power, the fuel
consumption and emission values of the ACS5 Sport S are equivalent to the
standard BMW 550i.
