New pictures of Lumma’s CLR X 650 M have been published by the company’s Russian distributor, TopCar.

Based on the BMW X6 M, the CLR X 650 M features an aggressive body kit with new bumpers, aerodynamic side skirts, extended fender flares, and a rear diffuser. Other styling tweaks include a black grille, a massive rear spoiler, and 23-inch wheels.

While details are limited, power is expected to come from a modified 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 650 hp and 830 Nm of torque (up 95 hp and 150 Nm from the X6 M). This should allow the CLR X 650 M to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, before topping out at 312 km/h (194 mph).

Look for more information to be released when Lumma officially unveils the car at the Geneva Motor Show.

Two Russian tuning firms and a German company have teamed up to offer a new kit for the 2011 BMW 5-Series F10.  TopCar and Cardi, from Russia, and Lumma Design have joined forces to create an aggressive styling package which will likely boost performance.

Judging by the included renderings, the car will maintain a bulging nose, with new carbon fiber front lip installed underneath.  The new bumper features five sections of air inlets, with honeycomb grille, and what looks like integrated LED lighting.

Bulging wheel wells lead to aggressive side sills.  The carved line leading from the front bumper to the sills is a particularly nice touch.  In back, a carbon fiber spoiler is added on top of the trunk, and a smoother bumper will also be included.  A carbon fiber rear diffuser, quad-tailpipes, and triple-spoke wheels rounds out the package.

The bodywork was created by TopCar and Cardi.  Lumma Design is keeping their cards hidden when it comes to the engine tuning kit they are developing for the package.  Full details should be released when their car is presented in April 2010.

A German tuning/design company has just released a new performance tuning package for the BMW M5 E60.  Winterlingen-based Lumma Design has been working with the engineers at G-Power on an upgrade kit to the M-badged version of the 5-series.

The result is a car that uses all 730 horsepower of a bi-compressor V10 to reach a maximum speed of over 367 km/h (228 mph).  The 700 Nm of torque helps the car go 0-100 km/h time in 4.2 seconds, reaching 200 km/h in just ten seconds.  300 km/h is achieved in 29.5 seconds.

The companies claim this is the “most powerful engine” ever seen on a “road-legal BMW.”  It is certainly a huge development over Lumma’s CLR 500 RS released in 2007.  That car saw a “paltry” 560 horsepower.

Certainly, these figures require non-stock brakes.  Lumma Design’s own six-piston front, four-piston rear caliper brakes are used along with drilled 405mm discs.  Ultralight, three-piece forged 10×21 and 12Jx21 wheels at the nose and tail look great on the 45mm lowered car.

The design package includes carbon fiber boot and bonnet, and the material is also used for the door handles, entrance sills, fenders, and mirror caps.  Designers also replaced the exhaust system.  Inside, carbon fiber, leather, and suede is used gratuitously.  Hopefully, the color scheme chosen inside is customizable, as something more subtle than the contrasting red, white, dark grey would probably feel more appropriate.

Lumma Design was clearly not satisfied with the work it presented on the BMW X6 at Essen 2008. They now present another slightly different package and it’s called the CLR X 650 GT. At the forefront of this is the rear carbon fiber spoiler which makes a line all the way to the sides ending at the front headlights.

The front spoiler is custom-fitted and is integrated to the daytime running lights. The front and rear fenders are enlarged, suspension is lowered, and the roof is finished in matte black. The 11×23-inch deep-dish rims are matched with high-performance tyres of size 315/25-23.

Lumma is not only known for exterior work but for the inside as well. For this part they fitted upgraded leather trim, sports seats upholstered in leather and ultra-suede. A flat-bottom sports steering wheel with a shift indicator makes the driver feel more willing than ever.

Although the pedals themselves were left untouched, the gas pedal features something Lumma calls the Gas Pedal Module or GPM. GPM works with the 4.4-litre turbocharged V8 and reprogrammed ECU to increase pedal response for enthusiastic driving.

The BMW X6 based Lumma CLR X 650 GT makes its public debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

LUMMA’s CLR X 650 is now at Essen. The BMW X6-based coupe SUV (that’s what BMW asked everyone to call it) is stepping out on huge 23-inch wheels which make it slump a bit more because of its 35mm-lowered sport suspension.

Body kit is full and wide-bodied, includes 5cm fender extensions, side skirts, front bumper spoilers and rear ones. BMW’s 4.4-litre V8 turbo’s ECU has been reprogrammed to foster more power, while a stainless steel sport exhaust system added. LUMMA’s gas pedal power module or GPM helps increase pedal power response.

CLR X 650 has an upgraded interior so the outside matches the inside as well. Leather and Alcantara feature heavily on the seats and the LUMMA logo appears in a number of surfaces, including the foot pedals.

The Porsche Cayenne remains one of the most sought-after tuner subjects and LUMMA Design has joined the fray with the facelifted GTS based CLR 550 R.

The SUV has a body kit that is 5cm wider on each side with 315/25-23 Michelins front and rear. Add the sport lowering suspension kit and the CLR 550 R sits 40mm lower making its wheels look even bigger. The look is heightened by a front spoiler bumper with a double daylight/fog lamp pair, side skirts, fender extensions, a rear bumper, tailgate apron, and a bonnet in Carbon/Kevlar which flows into those “evil eye” eyelids.

The ECU has received some reprogramming to jam out more power from the GTS V8, and something called LUMMA GPM added. GPM or gas pedal power module, gives a quick response on the gas pedal. From the rear an exhaust system with flap technology and stainless steel construction provides positive feedback.

A feeling of comfortable motorsports resonates inside where carbon fiber and leather/ alcantara dominate in addition to aluminium foot pedals. There’s a bit of ICE as well courtesy of a multimedia system with 7.5-inch, headrest-mounted screens. Read the rest of this entry and check out more photos »

BMW’s hard-to-classify X6 is still warm from the oven, so to speak, and already the tuners are lining up to make it hotter. One of the first to step up is LUMMA Design. The Winterlinger-based tuner’s CLR X 650 features a widebody kit and performance upgrades and will be displayed at the Essen Motor Show.

LUMMA’s kit starts on the outside, with monstrous 23-inch wheels and a full widebody kit including 5cm fender extensions, front and rear bumper spoilers and side skirts. Carbon-fiber detailing is also used on the show car. An air ducted carbon hood is also included. The CLR X 650 is snugged down over those massive wheels thanks to a 35mm drop courtesy of the lowered sport suspension designed by LUMMA.

The 4.4 liter turbocharged V8 has a reprogrammed ECU and a stainless sport exhaust to boost power, and LUMMA has also introduced a “gas pedal power module” (GPM) that increases pedal response.

The interior has not escaped notice either. Leather and Alcantara wrap the seating surfaces, while red LUMMA-logo gauges and floormats make sure it’s obvious who’s responsible for this vehicle. Aluminum pedals and footrest are also engraved with the LUMMA logo. Read the rest of this entry and check out more photos »

Tuning companies are catching on to the all powerful teaser image, and German tuner, Lumma Design, have issued theirs – with the controversial BMW X6 model. Love it or hate it, the BMW X6 Coupe Crossover is an interesting car and Lumma’s CLR X650 is no different – yet in a different character.

With a beefy front bumper fascia, which contains no less than 6 air vent openings, the entire kit gets a dash of aggression with side skirts and quarter panel leg vents plus revised mirrors, however, the added attitude comes from the 40mm suspension drop with the 23-inch arch filling black dished wheels.

As one of the first tuning companies to put together a dramatic styling kit for the X6, the CLR X650 takes the whole X6 hatchback coupe vibe and molds it
