Engine - Exhaust
Heart of this study is an independent AC Schnitzer engine concept based on the BMW S50 B 32 six-cylinder four-valve engine. With the help of a specially developed airbox and the use of many special parts coming from motor racing there are available 370 hp / 272 kW at 7900 rpm on the AC Schnitzer ACS3 A.R.T.. The maximum torque of 380 Nm is available at 4500 revs.
Transmission
A five-speed manual gearbox with AC Schnitzer Short Shift shifting travel shortage is transmitting the power to a special rear axle differential with 45 per cents locking ratio.
The road performances of this car are outstanding: The AC Schnitzer ACS3 A.R.T. only takes 4.7 seconds to catapult from 0 - 100 km/h. Maximum speed is about 290 km/h. These exciting performances are not only a result of the excellent engine power.
Brakes
Regarding the deceleration elements, AC Schnitzer also doesn’t make any compromises: The ABS-controlled brake system contains 2-pot floating calipers and vented Compound brake discs with 334 millimeters of diameter at the front axle. At the rear axle there also installed bigger dimensioned elements. 328 millimeters large discs are decelerated by 1-pot floating calipers. Special brake linings keep the system pressure on a constantly high level.
