(2010) HAMANN TYCOON EVO M based on BMW X6
HAMANN-Motorsport, the renowned specialist for exquisite refinements of BMW-
automobiles shows its latest developments on the 80th Geneva Motor Show. The
masculine show-piece on the HAMANN exhibition stand with 200 square metres is the
world premiere of the 670 hp/493kW strong and 300 km/h fast TYCOON EVO M
based on the BMW X6 M.
Already the shape of the TYCOON EVO M with its impressive broad built gives a good
hint of what is to be discovered. Mainly responsible for that are the front and the rear
wing extensions made of light composite materials. These let the body expand by
impressive 60 millimetres. Additionally, the HAMANN designers enhanced the sides
with the newly designed side skirts. The distinctive hallmark of the front is the apron
with the four striking LED daytime running lights. But the body set does not only
emphasise the appearance, enlarged air inlets in the front and the carbon bonnet
allow an optimised air ventilation of the engine compartment. At the X6 M rear,
HAMANN also replaces the original skirt with an own development. This makes room
for the earthy sounding sports exhaust system with the centrally positioned double end
pipes. The rear view of the TYCOON EVO M is perfected with beautifully designed
rear-and roof spoilers. All of those components produce a low-swirling airflow over the
vehicle silhouette and render additional downthrust.
Rich performance enhancement thanks to optimised exhaust gas flow
In addition to the spectacular shape of the TYCOON EVO M the HAMANN engine
department added a powerful performance enhancement for the serial engine. The
most significant component for the performance enhancement and responsible for the
dynamic and earthy sound of the TYCOON EVO M is the stainless steel high
performance exhaust system with catalyst replacement pipes. A newly programmed
map for the serial motronic completes the upgrade and suspending the speed limit of
250 km/h allows unrestrained driving pleasures.
As a result of the modifications, the X6 M now offers 670 hp / 493 kW at 6,000 r.p.m.
and 780 Nm torque at 1,500 – 5,650 r.p.m. This is a surplus of 115 hp and 100 Nm
compared to the serial version. Therefore, the all-wheel accelerated from 0 to 100 in
only 4,2 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 300 km/h.
Varying rim designs and sizes
Specially adjusted to the increased requirements of the TYCOON EVO M, the refining
specialist presents varying wheel designs and sizes. A highlight concerning styling and
technology is the rim model UNIQUE FORGED ANODIZED produced in most modern
forged technology. The dynamic shape of the delicate, anodised cross spokes does
not only lead to a dynamic and striking look, but also results in an even weight
distribution and therefore guarantees higher bearing loads. HAMANN offers the 23inch
wheel in the dimensions 11.0 x 23 at the front-and 12.0 x 23 at the rear axle,
combined with wheels measuring 315/25 R 23.
The light alloy wheels are especially emphasised with the HAMANN lowering kit.
Progressively coiled springs at the front axle and a modification kit for the rear axle
thereby lower the centre of gravity of the Sports Activity Coupe by approx. 40
millimetres.
Most noble interior applications underline the motor sports atmosphere
In addition to the existing factory-provided interior, HAMANN offers accessories made
of black-anodised aluminium in combination with carbon applications. Pedals and foot
rest render motor sports air and perfectly match the 12-part HAMANN decoration set
made of carbon fibre. An three-spoke sports steering wheel additionally render the
TYCOON EVO M a dynamic overall appearance. For the luggage compartment in the
back of the X6 M, HAMANN offers an elegant and practical boot mat with diamond-
shaped decorations and an embroidered logo.
