Lumma Design CLR X 650 makes the X6 wider and more powerful

We’re sure you remember the Lumma Design CLR X 650 based on the BMW X6 which seemed like was going to be an aggressive looking SAV for the Hulk. However, Lumma Design has decided to forgo the awkward green color and settled for good ol’ white.
Shown at the 2008 Essen Motor Show, the CLR X 650 gives the X6 an insanely large wide bodykit that consists of a new front bumper, fender extentions, side skirts, a new rear bumper with a carbon diffuser, and a front spoiler bumper. Lumma threw on 23-inch Lumma Racing 3 wheels along with a lowering sport suspension kit which drops the X6 by 35mm. Inside the CLR X 650 gets a carbon-leather and alcantara trim and a bunch of accessories including 7.5 inch monitors installed in the headrests.

Based on the X6 xDrive50i, Lumma Design reprogrammed the ECU extracting a little more than 400-hp from the 4.4L twin-turbo V8. A new sports exhaust system has been added for an aggressive racing sound.

Spy Shots: Near Production BMW X6 Active Hybrid Spotted

The hybrid X6 will be a full, two-mode affair as previewed by the X6 Hybrid SUV concept at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, and will make use of two electric motors powered by nickel metal hydride batteries. The configuration is said to deliver 20 percent better fuel economy, in part because it offers a fully electrically powered mode.

The production car is likely to make its world debut at the 2009 North American International Auto Show in January. Scroll down below to read the spy photographer’s own notes.

BMW are in the final stages of testing with the X6 Active Hybrid. The X6 Active Hybrid will come with a Two-Mode-Hybrid-Concept, meaning two electric engines and a big nickel metal hydride battery. With this technology BMW is reporting to save about 20 percent of fuel and it’s even possible to drive the car fully electric.
The visual changes are very small; you really need to be a BMW fan to notice the differences but here is a tip, check out the bulge on the engine hood.
