BMW X6 M F96

German tuner company Hamman has improved the performance of the BMW X6 M model, making it more attractive and more powerful. It is a model called the BMW X6 M F96 Hamman.

The new X6 M Hamman has a wider body kit, a carbon fiber bonnet, a larger front spoiler for better airflow and a 23-inch set of monoblock wheels. A new exhaust system with two 120 mm centrally placed pipes has been installed, with a sport silencer integrated into the rear diffuser. The car has an adjustable suspension and new springs with which the SUV can be lowered by 35 mm.

The interior is made in a sporty style, with a 12-piece set of carbon ornaments and Alcantara. The roof liner, spanned with Alcantara has discreet LED ambient lighting that changes color, reminiscent of the starry sky.

The tuned model is based on the X6 M with 555 hp (408 kW) and 502 lb-ft (680 Nm) of torque. Now, the 4.4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine delivers 620 hp (456 kW) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 180 mph (290 km / h).

Nissan Z with retro design and 400 hp

Nissan has unveiled its new model, the Nissan Z. This retro-designed sports car will run a 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 hp, and will be produced in two versions: Sport and Performance.

Ever since the first introduction of the 370 Z model, 13 years ago, the Nissan Z series has not changed much. The intention was not only to build a more powerful and agile car, but also to become one with the driver.

Inspired by a ’69 model, the Nissan Z got a reinforced body and a redesigned suspension, but retained the bonnet and a more subtle rear spoiler. The grille and LED lights are taken from the Z Proto model, and new shock absorbers have been installed to ensure better stability.

With a focus on the driver, the interior is designed in a blend of comfort and technology. The seats are upholstered in black leather or fabric. An 8-inch touchscreen infotainment screen is located in the center of the dashboard, while a 9-inch touch screen is available in the Performance model.

The Nissan Z will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with 400 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, with a water-cooled intercooler. It is equipped with a six-speed manual transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. There will also be a nine-speed automatic transmission (optional).

Sport Brakes with 4-piston calipers will ensure safe braking and stopping. The Sport model will use 18 “wheels with 248/45 tires, while the Performance will have 19” wheels with 255/40 tires at the front and 275/35 tires at the rear.

The car will go on sale early next year, and it is currently unknown how much it will cost.

The Bugatti Bolide is worth a staggering $ 4.8 million

In 2020, Bugatti introduced its hyper car, the Bugatti Bolide. It is a concept car based on the Chiron model. This time Bugatti intends to produce a production version in just 40 copies.

According to the pictures, the car will keep the same aerodynamics as the previous model. The height of Bolide is remarkably low. It’s only 995 millimeters (39.1 inches) tall. The Bolide sits on a super-light and super-stiff carbon fiber monocoque. Carbon fiber is also used in the front-end and underbody.

The X-shaped lights at the front and rear make the car look straight out of a Sci-Fi movie, and spy shots have revealed that they are in reality even more spectacular. The suspension is by titanium pushrods with horizontal dampers. Welded stainless-steel control arms are also designed as wing profiles.

“A significant number of enthusiasts and collectors have called for the development of the experimental Bolide as a production car,” said Bugatti President Stephan Winkelmann.

The production Bolide will be powered by a turbocharged 8.0-liter W16 engine with 1,578 hp (1,160 kW) and 1,180 lb-ft (1,600 Nm) of torque. That’s slightly less than the base concept model which has 1,825 hp and 1,365 lb-ft of torque. It also weighs 462 lb (210 kg) less than the base model, which weighs 3,200 lb (1,451 kg).

The first copies are expected to be delivered in 2024 at a price of $ 4.8 million.
