2007 BMW AC Schnitzer GP3.10 Concept ...

As if the extravagant exterior of the project vehicle, based on the current 3-series coupe, were not enough, under the bonnet growls the V10 engine of the current M5/M6, which AC Schnitzer ispresenting at the show for the first time in bivalent design. The vehicle has a fully sequential LPG system with two parallel 5-cylinder vaporizers. There's no loss of power or dynamics. The engine, tuned with a remapped control unit and modified exhaust tract with sports catalyst and exhaust manifold, develops 552 bhp and produces up to 400 lb-ft at the crankshaft. In itself, that's 45 horses more than the M5/M6. But why power this car with LPG?
