BMW X6 Gets the Coupe Treatment from ArmorTech
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
Ever wonder how coupés got their name? Well back in the day, they were sedans that were cut down to a smaller size, borrowing their name from the French word for "chopped". Today's two-door coupés are typically engineered that way from the beginning, but one Russian company is reviving the tradition with the vehicle you see here.
BMW calls their X6 a "sports activity coupé", but includes four doors and a sloping roofline – not unlike a Mercedes CLS, but in crossover form. ArmorTech – a Russian firm that specializes, as you might have guessed – in reinforcing vehicles to protect their occupants from attack – has removed two of the doors, lengthened the remaining two, reworked the glass and fitted front seats that tilt and slide forward to gain access to the rear ones. Numerous other enhancements are also available, from suspension, wheels and brakes to exhaust, body kit and custom upholstery. Whether the modifications make the X6 any more palatable, however, is entirely a matter of taste.
