The AC Schnitzer 99d Notion creates just 99g/km CO2 - which is less-than any conventional BMW automobile available currently.

And not surprisingly, driving enjoyment is assured because of 190 HP / 140 kW.

So how can this Concept Car by AC Schnitzer can reach such low amounts? AC Schnitzer calls the blend of attributes Efficient Operation.

Diesel duplicate drive-train and engine

A diesel-engine in the most effective currently available, as well as a BMW Z4 from BMW. It stems from the 320d EfficientDynamics. And obviously presently the electricity has-been optimised from the Aachen professionals to 190 HP and 420-nm torque (conventional 320d EfficientDynamics Variant: 163 HP).

230-kg weight-saving

The refined lightweight coupe exhibits what is technically feasible now. The source of energy for example is really a lightweight lithium-ion battery rather than the normal lead accumulator. The utilization of further light-weight materials like titanium, magnesium and carbon has attained further significant savings within the equipment. So it is lighter-than any existing standard BMW.

Weight-reduction in mass

35 kg less fat within the parts right linked to the wheels, including tyres, wheels and brakes, causes a perceptible increase in agility and driving enjoyment. The newest forging methods using materials in the aerospace business assure power and an unbeatable weight-saving.

Or the Type VIII onepiece highstrength cast rims used in the AC Schnitzer 99d. These weigh in at only 7.9 kg per wheel and are on the automobile with titanium wheel bolts. Experts say that means to minimize the mass have an advantage of as much as four times the weight-saving.

Unique Eco-tyres from Continental

These tyres help optimize the rolling resistance.

Adaptation of EfficientDynamics

Supporting the BMW EfficientDynamics notion lies a technology package of smart steps which considerably reduce emissions and fuel consumption. These systems in the BMW 320d were incorporated in the AC Schnitzer 99d: Automated startstop, brake energy recuperation, gear-shift screen, lowfriction lubricants and active aerodynamics.

Enhanced aerodynamics

The body work lowered by 30 mm, together with different AC Schnitzer carbon aerodynamic parts, decreases drag.

Reduced-friction

Unique ceramic wheel bearings reach a critical decrease in friction resistance. Additionally, friction is minimised by optimised low-friction lubricants.

Driving pleasure

Identity, exclusivity, ultra-modern light-weight construction and more than 20 years of expertise in refinement have led within the AC Schnitzer 99d to your car which perfectly unites efficient fuel usage and driving pleasure: Efficient Operation by AC Schnitzer.

Normally all security components are kept like airbags, ABS and ESP. The multimedia world also isn't lacking because of the Apple iPhone4 incorporated into the automobile. This provides access to any or all info in the computer. Therefore the real gas usage, or like the purpose of the particle filter could be checked. Music, phone, navigation, handsfree or web complete the general expertise within the AC Schnitzer 99d.

Within the shape shown here, the automobile would cost EUR 149,000.00.
