Geneva 2010: Hamann Tycoon EVO M more powerful than mightiest Lamborghini

Filed under: Aftermarket , Performance , Geneva Motor Show , Europe , Crossover , BMW Hamann Tycoon EVO M - Click above for high-res image gallery We’ll come clean. Collectively, we spend an unexpected amount time repeating the following sentence, “As much as I know I shouldn’t, I love the BMW X6 . I know it’s wrong, I know. But it’s just a great car.” But you know what makes less sense than the X6? The X6 M . That car’s stone cold crazy . Therefore we like it even more than the regular flavor SAC (Sports Activity Coupe). Have you met our friend Hamann ? For the 2010 Geneva Motor Show , Hamann brought along its new Tycoon EVO M . And… it’s quite bonkers.The 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 has been pumped up to the tune of 670 horsepower and 576 pound-feet of torque. For comparison’s sake, the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SuperVeloce’s mighty 6.5-liter V12 produces 670 hp - exactly the same amount as the Hamann Tycoon EVO M. Crazy, no? Oh, also, the mightiest ever Lambo makes 89 lb-ft of torque less than this mental

patient Hamann. Then there’s the little matter of the carbon fiber. Look, we’re all for saving precious pounds but keep it real for a minute. Before Hamann got their filthy mitts all over it, the X6 M weighed in at 5,324 pounds. Lord (and Hamann) only knows what it weighs now. And since we’re keeping it real, shaving a few pounds off the front end of an over-powered beast like the Tycoon is killing a mouse with the 101st Airborne. In other words, the carbon fiber hood and splitter is nothing but blingy, look-at-me bunting. And since we’re ragging on conspicuous displays of too much wealth, Tycoon ? Really? That said, we’ve never seen 23-inch wheels look so perfectly at home.
