High Anticipation for World's First Sports Activity Coupé Dubai,
UAE. An entirely new model, the BMW X6, the world's first Sport Activity
Coupé, revealed as a Concept Car during the 9th International
Middle East Motor Show in November 2007, will soon be available to
customers in the region. Offering a brand new design approach and
interpretation, the highly-anticipated BMW X6 is the most sporting and
dynamic rendition in the BMW X Series range, visualising superior
driving dynamics and outstanding supremacy. The exterior design of the
BMW X6 sports a striking front end, stretched side lines and expresses
powerful presence through its wheels, classic coupé proportions
and sweeping flow from roofline to rear end. Equipped as standard with
BMW's intelligent xDrive all-wheel drive technology and Dynamic
Performance Control, and mated to a six-speed automatic transmission
with optimised gearshift dynamics, the BMW X6 enjoys unique agility,
tracking stability, precision and traction in every situation, as well
as optimised fuel economy for lower emissions and maximum power and
performance. The BMW X6 xDrive50i is powered by a newly developed
top-of-the-range 4.4-litre V8 power unit with Twin Turbo technology and
direct high precision gasoline injection. The new engine is the world's
first eight-cylinder gasoline engine with the turbo-charger and
catalytic converters housed in the V-section between the two rows of
cylinders, resulting in a maximum output of 407 hp and 442 lb-ft of
torque. The BMW X6 xDrive35i uses a 3.0-litre R6 engine with Twin Turbo
technology, resulting in a maximum output of 306 hp and 295 lb-foot of torque.
