Based on the X5 platform, most of the SUV’s powertrains will carry over including the recently installed 286hp twin-turbo 3.0L diesel as well as the range topping 367hp 4.8L V8 engine. Further down the track, it’s rumored to get a newly-developed turbocharged V8 developing 420hp, which should propel it to 100km/h in under six seconds.
Scheduled for release in the beginning of 2008, the X6 will target vehicles like the Porsche Cayenne in offering substantial performance in a practical and roomy body. Check out the images over at Winding Road.
