The fifth concept-car presented within the framework of ’safe tuning’ project sponsored by Hankook Tires became a police car BMW 1-Series by AC Schnitzer tuning studio.
“Only serious and safe tuning allows to get real pleasure from driving!” Under this motto the Association of German Tuning Companies (VDAT) presents a new concept-car every year. For 2010 BMW AG has granted BMW 123d for the project that is also supported by the German police, Federal ministry of transport, construction and road development. The official sponsor is the Hankook company. The tuning of the new concept-car was carried out by AC Schnitzer company that specializes in BMW tuning.
The tuning studio again presented a specialized police car that was named ACS1 2.3d. The engine power was increased to 241h.p., torque – to 480Nm. Now the police BMW with 6-speed manual transmission accelerates to 65mph within 6,7 seconds what “will allow the car not to lag behind even in the hottest pursuit”.
The tire uses AC Schnitzer Type IV BiColor wheels and Hankook S1 evo tires provided by the major sponsor – the Hankook company.
Hankook S1 evo was developed to deliver solid construction that allows to eliminate the risk of tread deformation at high speed and at high temperatures thus making sport driving safer.
The structure and profile of the tire also ensure optimal pressure in the contact patch for more predictable steering response at high speeds. Optimized contact patch also provides improved steering both on dry and wet surface while the tread pattern minimizes hydroplaning, reduces noise level and makes the car more stable.
ACS1 2.3d Coupe is being exhibited at Essen motor show (28 November – 6 December). “Serious and safe tuning is not only the ideology of our company but also our mission” – notes Rainer Vogel, the managing director of AC Schnitzer. – In the case of a police car such tuning with the use of components provided by reliable manufacturers can save people’s life.
