BMW and handling have always been close relatives. Mercedes buyers love to ride, but BMW buyers are loyal to the adrenaline rush. BMW 3 series is unnecessary to say, BMW X5 is an SUV in the control expert, but BMW X6 owners, has been no way to be recognized!

If you never know, the BMW X6 is positioned as a sporty SUV, and officially offers a break time of 4.2 seconds, plus a 4.4T V8 engine. It is no exaggeration to say that this car can run on the pavement. But if you look at the people around you who drive BMW X6, they don't care about this kind of thing and they always feel like they're driving a big luxury toy.

Involving cars

Okay, so this car gets around the city fine, but what if it does enter a Middle Eastern country, and it doesn't? German retrofit maker Manhart decided to revive the BMW X6M's Wilder nature and turn it into a truly "magic car" for all road conditions.

Named MHX6DIRT2, the new car is based on the BMW X6M, but after upgrades and modifications, it has undergone a significant change in appearance. Since it is an off-road vehicle, it is necessary to have the off-road vehicle kit, front bumper, winch, off-road intake pipe and outside the roll frame are necessary, not to mention off-road tires, which are the most basic configuration. This change, especially in the yellow and black double combination of both the visual sense, has been completely off-road vehicle.

The appearance change is the first step. The SUV focuses on the inner core. In order to increase the maximum power of X6M to 900 horsepower and the peak torque to more than 1000N· M, the whole vehicle is replaced with a new piston, and the turbocharging and inlet and exhaust are upgraded, so the power of the modified TA is more than a little fierce.

The power upgrade required a body that could withstand a fierce burst of power. The previous BMW X6M was no longer viable, so Manhart gave the MHX6 DIRT2 a stronger rear axle and a more reliable gearbox. And after the power upgrade brought by the surrounding system also follow the "light" upgrade, off-road shock absorber system is a better through the necessary goods. Under complex road conditions, the height of the vehicle can also increase the passability, so the 21-inch rims, and all-terrain tires, good horizontal appearance, excellent grip performance is also quite excellent.

View of ghost car: the power refer to the previous BMW X6M, but really is "the same person, different life", after the transformation of the version, obviously more worthy of the "performance car" three words. Naturally, the price is also higher, 395,000 euros, limited production of five cars, equivalent to 3,077,800 yuan.
