Page 2 of 2 The technology
The BMW X5 Rally Raid was developed for racing within 12 months. The
vehicle has been constructed in almost authentic X5-Format.
The fibreglass body conceals state of the art racing technology as well as numerous
innovations.
The four-wheel drive BMW X5s with approximately 270HP variable twin turbo engines
have a technically complex construction of latticed tubular space frames as a
chassis. The low fuel consumption of the BMW three-litre six-cylinder engine is
a distinct advantage in comparison to the gasoline engines of the competitors.
This fact follows a comparatively small tank possible and provides a weight advantage
of up to 200 kg during the long African stages.
