Go Green Without Losing Speed With the GP 3.
AC Schnitzer and BMW have for years complemented each other in bringing out some of the best cars available. Earlier AC Schnitzer and BMW together were synonymous with motor sport. The expertise in motor sports development of Schnitzer along with the excellence of BMW engineering created an unbeatable combination with their touring car team.
This winning combination again combined this time to use AC Schnitzer race expertise to using it in everyday road driving. One of the cars in this stable is the 2007 AC Schnitzer GP 3.10 Concept. This concept car is akin to the BMW 3 series coupe. Fitted with a M5/M6 engine this car is modified such that it can run also on LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) which will give it all the three attributes of speed, performance and fuel efficiency.
This gas powered mean machine has all what one needs in a sports car. It has fuel economy, power, German efficiency and most important -total style.
The question one would ask is -why gas and not petrol? Does it not lose power? The answer is a resounding no. No power loss because the AC Schnitzer magic has equipped it with enough power to develop up to 550 Horse Power.
With the spiraling price of petrol fuel and the fact that it simply will not reduce, the use of LPG will save you thousands of dollars in fuel bills alone. One can find LPG bunks almost everywhere these days and not to worry also if you do not find one on time. The 2007 GP 3.10 Concept has along with its 80 liter gas tank an additional 60 liter petrol tank. Switching to petrol at any time is a cinch, believe me! And don’t forget the fact that by using LPG you are doing a large bit in preserving the environment. There is substantially less CO2 emission from the 2007 AC Schnitzer GP 3.10 Concept.
There has always been a feeling among sports car lovers that going green means losing power and performance. Not so in this beauty. In fact in a test run the GP 3.10 notched up speeds close to 200 mph on a test track in South Italy. This record even eclipsed the record of the fastest gas powered car held by another car belonging to the same company -the TENSION.
Now one can have the best of both worlds. You can flaunt your green car while zipping down the highway leaving other sports cars gaping.
