ACS 3 Sport: Everyday is M-otion
Source: AC Schnitzer
When beads of perspiration form on the brow of experienced sports car drivers, it's not
necessarily down to a faulty air conditioning system. With the 420 V8-HP of the BMW M3, the
ACS3 Sport catapults even its keenest challengers into the rear view mirror. The sporting coupé
is ideal for anyone seeking to gain advantage on twisting tracks. A normal M3 would be a tough
competitor here, because in comparison with the "civilised" 3-series Coupé it has a totally different
axle construction. With racing suspension developed on the legendary Nürburgring, AC Schnitzer
has succeeded in refining the handling potential of the chassis even further. And fitted with the
Short Shift from Aachen, the ACS3 Sport becomes the automotive hero of the day: No-one is
changing gears faster!
Best of all: The vehicle loses nothing of its qualities as a daily driver. Instead, AC Schnitzer
magics even more M-otion into everyday life, for example when the Aachen exhaust system plays
its bewitching baritone in a road tunnel. The left/right system with two tailpipes per side, linked into
a horizontal figure of eight, is however a visual work of art. In a play on the mathematical symbol
for "infinity", at the same time it symbolises the powerful reserves of the vehicle which reaches
100 km/h from a standing start in an effortless 4.8 seconds. No less carefully arranged are the
aerodynamic attachments, which for AC Schnitzer are always more than mere visual decoration.
At the rear, a diffuser of visible carbon presses the car down onto the tarmac as if there were
magnets below the road surface. The front spoiler is also made from this high quality material,
and is supported against the front skirt with alloy struts as in motorsport. Further downforce is
provided by a subtle rear roof spoiler and rear wing which also give the body exciting new
contours. Side skirt extensions, in particular when combined with the white paint of the photo
model, give the profile an aura of stature and dynamism. Finally the AC Schnitzer racing rims
Type VI embody pure culture, on the ACS3 Sport in sizes 9.0J x 20" on the front and 10.5J x 20"
on the rear. The combination of Y-spokes and contrasting five fork spokes superimposed in two
planes, produces a design that is as exciting as it is elegant.
Further highlights of course include the forged wheel Type V in 20". With its strikingly curved,
interrupted spokes, it not only looks superb but thanks to the lightweight construction method,
keeps the unsprung weight to a minimum. A no less attractive alternative is the Type IV racing
wheel in silver - and with trendy black finish as "Magic Black”. And naturally AC Schnitzer
continues the theme of sports performance in the driver's workplace, offering attractive and
ergonomically perfect aluminium controls for the gearknob, handbrake handle, pedals and i-Drive
controller. A carbon interior trim and sports airbag steering wheel are also available on request.
