Evolution takes its course. With the R56 model series, AC Schnitzer engineering has also evolved. The aerodynamic components of front spoiler and rear skirt have gained contours, the racing suspension is far superior to the already excellent standard components, and the performance upgrade persuades the turbo engine to deliver an incredible 208 or even 206BHP - depending on variant - and a torque of up to 285Nm. The optional limited slip differential adjustable to 75% transfers the drive power to the road perfectly in every situation. AC Schnitzer alloy wheels Mi2 in 18" and the twin sports rear silencer with chromed Racing tailpipe in central position are further key points in the training programme of this extreme athlete.
