I ignore AC Schnitzer Profile, standing among the black and dark green 3th and 5th episodes, it is impossible. We have swept by Mini from Schnitzer, we were about to leave, but in time we visible Profile, screaming about our desire to stretch on the road. It was built in 2007 for Auto Show in Frankfurt as a concept based on Z4 M Coupe. Profile’s appearance is quite controversial. It seems to us that if you remove fire paint and a somewhat stupid aerodynamic body kit, you get a very attractive car. By the way, McLaren MP4-10 probably served as a source of inspiration for a body kit, which Mensell was sitting in 1995 in 1995. Schnitzer masters did not change themselves, and therefore the design of the front wing was skillfully improved in a typical manner for them — triple air flow was added, which very successfully complements the painting of the car’s design, although it slightly looks like Maserati style. But even with all stylish details, the design of this car is far from perfect performance. As for technical equipment, then already beautiful 3. 2-liter six-cylinder engine received a special “breathing” intake manifold. In turn, a broken engine control unit was supposed to free the violent 365l. With. In the range up to 7900ob/min. And thanks to the installation of a new main transmission, the gear ratio has increased from 3. 62: 1 to 3. 91: 1. Such an option costs £ 1874. In view of all improvements and improvements, Profile reaches 100 km/h 0. 3 seconds faster than a standard car. Also, masters from Schnitzer tore the shackles in the form of a speed limiter, and this means that a white-orange miracle can accelerate to immodest 285 km/h. And then such a trifle as a small anti -wing, does not seem superfluous! When we finished the run of Mini, we managed to convince the guys from the Schnitzer salon to give a test Profile. Once we came across an excellent “hairpin” and then it seemed that there was not enough excellent rear-wheel drive car. So, landing. But if the standard Z4 is a low car, then in Profile you fall even lower when you sit in the bucket -like seat Profile. And as soon as you stretch inside, orange carbon fiber stoves will create a sensation of a bright and carefree fiesta, but the hoarse sound of a sports exhaust, which costs £ 1532, singing after turning the key, sets up in a serious way. The car has a shortened gear shift mechanism, which gives undeniable convenience when managing a six -step gearbox £ 493. It is that it erases the latest illusions regarding the soft nature of Profile. A considerable share of sports is added 20-inch wheels, each of which works in tandem with a modernized suspension (springs and shock absorbers £ 2040). This whole company even creates a rather tough sensation at low speed. But the road begins to turn, we begin to accelerate the pace. And here it becomes clear that the “rolled” front went from the standard machine (probably reinsurance from excessive tendency to drift), and we have to “refuel” the front of the turn of the steering wheel, not just the movement of the steering wheel, (as on the reference M3 E92) but with perform a crazy pedal dance to run it sideways. Although at the same time it is quite entertaining to go in sliding, because the driver’s place is relatively deep in the car, near the arch of the rear axle, which gives immeasurable pleasure in sliding. Two aspects play against Profile: the engine has a failure at a mark of 3000 rpm. And, despite the fact that from 5000 rpm, he could reach 8,000, as it should be for an exemplary racing engine, he lacked the “howl”, which is characteristic of CSL, which was ringing in his ears. Spectacular in appearance and in words, the brakes turned out to be another problem: even the eight -piston caliper does not save that fix the M5 discs — the brakes “relaxed” after several sharp descents along the slope. As for an exhibition sample, Profile was able to solve his main task of attracting attention. And although in a mechanical sense he will not be able to surpass M-class cars, it is always nice to know that the manner of control can be as deceptive as the appearance.
