AC Schnitzer has released a more sane and approachable version dubbed
the ACL2S. Based around the BMW M240i and set to debut at the
Geneva Motor Show 2017, just 30 units will be produced each priced
at 35,900 euros for the entire
upgrade package.
AC Schnitzer has reflashed
the ECU of the turbocharged straight-six engine while also fitting a custom air
intake, exhaust and downpipe. These modifications lift power from 340 hp to 400
hp and 442 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to scare BMW M2 and even M4
owners.
To provide the sports car with even greater
performance, the tuner has also installed adjustable suspension which allows
the owner to tweak the height, compression and rebound.
The ACL2S is easily distinguishable from
the model around which it is based. In particular, it is adorned with a
10-piece widebody kit that includes flared wheel arches, revised bumpers, a
bespoke carbon fiber front splitter, new diffuser and the availability of a
large carbon rear wing or a smaller, trunk lid spoiler. There’s also some AC
Schnitzer AC1 wheels to complete the exterior look.
Interior changes are relatively minor but do include
a three-spoke leather steering wheel, aluminum pedals and “One of Thirty”
badges.
