The HAMANN BMW X6 Tycoon

HAMANN Motorsport is most famous recently for such outrageous machines as the Mercedes-Benz SLR-based HAMANN Volcano.

But its treatment for the more mundane X6 turns a car that perhaps never should have been to a high performance, high style machine they're calling Tycoon.

The HAMANN BMW X6 Tycoon improves and builds upon the X6 platform in nearly every way. A couple of engine choices here, but true gear heads might want to take a look at HAMANN's treatment for the X6 diesel. Using the xDrive35d engine as a base, HAMANN coaxes 315 horsepower and a mammoth 487 lb-ft. of torque athe the crank. Granted, the X6 is a heavy car..crossover..whatever, but we're betting this moves.

Wide Body

On the outside, the HAMANN X6 Tycoongets a body widening by way of new front and rear air dams and skirts that complete the package by wrapping a round and extending the wheel wells. The aero package is completed by rear and roof -deck spoilers. The Tycoon looks suficiently menacing and important without going too far into the overstated realm.

Spoiler...

Most instantly eye-catching are the 23 inch custom DESIGN EDITOIN RACE ANODIZED alloys wrapped by 315/25R23 tires front and rear. The X6 Tycoon will look most at home in the city, though should be able to handle it self just fine on the back roads.
