If this beast handles as well as it looks, then BMW has another winner on it's hands.

BMW is being very smart here you see. They're debuting the hybrid tech in the sexier body (between the X5 and X6) when in reality they'll probably put a X5 hybrid on the road before the X6 hybrid. Hybrid tech makes perfect sense in the U.S. market for the X5. Clever.

Unfortunately, according to Eni, yes. There won't be those mirrors on production version.

But mirrors don't make this car look amazing...

There will be a B pillar for example, the rear lights will get CELIS LED stripes... Afaik, the front will remain unchanged.

Re: BMW X6 Concept - official pics

We totally forgot about info about the car here is the short version.



Description in Brief.

Character:
• Concept innovation of the world’s first Sports Activity Coupé.

• As the founder of the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) segment, BMW
is now once again presenting a new, consistently developed concept.

• The most sporting and dynamic interpretation of a BMW X model, with the
emphasis above all on the car’s active driving potential. Superior driving
dynamics taken up by typical BMW design language and authentically
visualised in the car’s design.

• Extravagant body design combining the sporting elegance of a
BMW Coupé with the striking DNA of BMW X.

• Clear orientation to the wheels, generous ground clearance and
extra-large wheel arches give BMW Concept X6 the powerful presence
so characteristic of a BMW X model.

• BMW Concept X6 is the first car in the world to feature Dynamic
Performance Control for unique directional stability and precision under all
driving conditions as well as BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive
technology.


Exterior design:

• The powerful presence of the car’s body merges smoothly and harmoniously
with the low-slung roof of the greenhouse. This flowing roofline is
indeed a characteristic element of the coupé silhouette, just like the short
front overhang, the long wheelbase and long rear overhang.

• In its design, BMW Concept X6 expresses all the DNA so characteristic
of BMW X. The optical balance of the front and rear wheels clearly visible
from the side bears convincing testimony to BMW’s intelligent xDrive
all-wheel-drive technology.

• The second dominating element in the design of the body is the
clear orientation to the car’s wheels, muscular wheel arches and large
wheels providing a particularly impressive look and sign of stability.

• The exterior is characterised by exciting interaction of convex and concave
surfaces.

• The side contour line rising up dynamically to the rear and the growing
distance between the shoulder and the sill-line as the car moves to the
back generate a dynamic wedge shape.

• The striking front view with clear focus on the car’s width bears out the
expression so typical of a BMW X model. This powerful look is further
enhanced by the extra-large BMW kidney grille serving as the air intake
with robust slats, the headlights cut in a sharp profile, and clear
accentuation of the side panels highlighting the flared contours of the
wheel arches. The large air intakes, in turn, characterise the significant
demand for cooling air in the engine, make the car look longer and
underline its sporting character also from the front.

• The engine compartment lid comes with clear contours subdivided by
sharp lines tapering out towards the BMW kidney grille. The elegant look
created in this way is also characterised by bumper elements finished in
body colour with discreet plastic appliqués in the typical style of a
BMW X model.

• The unique design of the D-pillars expresses sheer power and stability,
the innovative design of the rear lights emphasising the width of the
car. Positioned far to the outside, the exhaust tailpipes and horizontal lines
of BMW Concept X6 accentuate the wide track of the car.

• The dark paintwork standing out clearly form the chrome elements
symbolises the sporting and technical character of BMW Concept X6,
with sophisticated highlights being added by the sill trim at the side,
the chrome-coloured slats, the foglamps with their special surrounds in
the outer air intakes, as well as the chrome-plated tailpipes.

• The underfloor protection front and rear is made of milled aluminium.

• White direction indicator lines are integrated in the rear lights and the
special night design of BMW Concept X6 is characterised by light bodies
with a homogeneous light effect.
