These past few
months, Vilner has gotten us used to all sorts of hot projects, from the Datsun
280Z to the BMW M3 E30. The latest one,
however, is a bit more restrained and shows that the Bulgarian tuner doesn’t
always have to go crazy on those interior makeovers.
The vehicle chosen
to receive the Vilner treatment is a BMW X6 M. The powerful SAV has a dual-tone
cockpit and features several blue elements that have replaced the original
black. The steering wheel, seats, center console and other parts are now blue,
as are the seatbelts, while carbon fiber trim adds a nice touch.
The X6 M has
remained bone stock on the outside. Furthermore, since Vilner isn’t
particularly known for extracting a massive amount of power from engines, the
4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 hasn’t been tampered with. This means that it still
pushes out 575 PS and 750 Nm of torque, which
translates into a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 4.2 seconds and a 250
km/h electronically limited top speed.
Right now, BMW is
ready to roll out an all-new X6 M. It’s been spied on numerous occasions and
we’ve seen itwithout camo in the Competition spec, alongside its X5 M sibling.
Like the latter, the M Division-tuned X6 should feature the 4.4-liter
twin-turbo V8 engine that’s also powering the F90 M5. The regular model should
get 600 PS, whereas the Competition is thought to arrive with
625 PS.
