In 1995, AC Schnitzer’s most famous concept car, the CLS II, made its way from the Green Hell straight onto the road. This time, it was based on the BMW M3 3.2. The heart of the CLS II was its engine, featuring a special control unit program, precisely balanced connecting rods, a finely balanced crankshaft, and a redesigned intake system with a large airbox. Power: 257 kW/350 hp and 355 Nm. This allowed it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds, with a top speed of 290 km/h. Significantly improved downforce, lightweight construction using carbon fiber and aluminum, perfect suspension tuning, and 18-inch Type II racing wheels—all these components (and much more) have made the CLS II a thoroughbred race-touring car for the road.
