Toyota GR Supra upgraded by AC Schnitzer

Leave a comment

The current fifth generation Toyota Supra, introduced in 2019, is considered by some to be a non-original Supra, as it was developed in cooperation with the Bavarian manufacturer (BMW). It is built on the same platform as the BMW Z4, and is a desirable car for tuners. Thus, the German tuner AC Schnitzer presented a package of improvements for this model.

The standard Supra is offered with 2.0-L 4-cylinder and 3.0-L 6-cylinder turbocharged engines, and RWD. The powerful turbocharged 3.0-L 6-cylinder engine delivers 406 hp (302 kW) and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the standard model has 345 hp (257 kW) and 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque. The output of the smaller 2.0-L four-cylinder engine has been increased from 262 hp (195 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) to 304 hp (227 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque.

AC Schnitzer is known for upgrading BMW models, and this time they equipped the Supra with an improved adaptive suspension with active shock absorbers and new aerodynamic components. Customers can also choose a stainless steel exhaust system with carbon tailpipes (optional).

The interior of the car has undergone minor changes including new aluminum pedals, a new controller for the infotainment screen and a key holder that is placed in one of the cup holders.

Buyers can choose between 20-inch and 21-inch wheels, as well as a range of other aerodynamic accessories such as a racing carbon rear wing, silencer and carbon front splitter.

BMW X5 upgraded by AC Schnitzer

The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV that arrived on the market in 1999 as the first SUV of the Bavarian manufacturer. In 2023, a renewed version of the fourth generation hit the market, and tuners soon began to expand their offer for this luxury German SUV. One of them is AC Schnitzer which presented its upgrade package for the BMW X5 model.

AC Schnitzer modified the front and rear view giving the car a more aggressive look. This has been achieved using aerodynamic enhancements compatible with the M package, which include a new front splitter, deeper side skirts and a large rear spoiler. Most noticeable are the new 22-inch AC5 wheels, first seen on AC Schnitzer’s BMW XM, available in a variety of finishes. The rear wheel track has been increased by 24 mm, and the SUV can be lowered by an additional 15 to 20 mm (depending on the equipment package), if it did not come out of the factory with air suspension.

Inside the cabin, there were no major changes. The existing interior design has been retained with the addition of a new pair of aluminum paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel, as well as new aluminum pedal attachments.

When it comes to the powertrain, the BMW X5 xDrive40d now has 382 hp (281 kW) and 575 lb-ft (780 Nm) of torque. That’s up from the stock model, which has 352 hp (259 kW) and 531 lb-ft (720 Nm) of torque.

AC Schnitzer allows BMW X5 owners to purchase components separately. The price is not known.

In its 36 years of tuning BMW cars, the German company AC Schnitzer has improved some of the best models of this German brand. Now, the tuner has introduced the ACS2 Sport based on the new generation BMW M2 G87.

The car is equipped with several carbon body components based on a modular principle, which means that you can opt for a complete conversion or select individual parts. Among them, the newly designed front spoiler stands out, which Aachen points out significantly improves the car’s aerodynamics.

The adaptive suspension has been improved, which allows the front part to be closer to the ground by an additional 35 mm, and the rear by 30 mm. There’s also an adaptive exhaust system with carbon tips, a set of black or gold 20 and 21-inch AC4 Lightweight wheels wrapped in 285/30/20 front and 295/25/21 tires, while the brakes have not been changed.

Under the hood is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with 453 hp (333 kW) and 406 lb-ft (550 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.3 seconds (4.1 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission) with a top limited speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
