Unfortunately, it quickly goes away as stuff like this pops up. IF you can spot through the camouflage (not the pre-production stuff), you’ll notice that there’s a BMW X6 underneath.

Not only that, it’s actually one of the few that actually received the Tycoon EVO package from Hamann tuning. Or did it?

Obviously, the panels have been altered in the appropriate fashion and they do seem to be genuine but is this really a Tycoon EVO makeover, or just some make-up?

Hamann would not be the first to release information about their customers but nor do they seem to be inclined to clear up this one either.

Is this a fire-breathing Siberian tiger of a crossover or is it just a calm and friendly little zebra pretending to be more dangerous than it really is.

Your guess is as good as mine but let’s face it, regardless of the pickings, having this Hamann tweaked BMW X6 didn’t really come cheap, why cut back on the performance?

Why not have your sporty looking SAC turned into a car that could actually be described as sporty. Would anybody really feel its inappropriate for a car like this to have 670 horsepower?

Let’s think about it, it’s not like a car such as the X6 was ever bought for environmental concerns, not even the most efficient BMW diesel could make it polar bear friendly.

That’s probably the simplest way of describing the BMW X6 M Tycoon EVO by Hamann. The performance is great, the look, not really.

To some degree that’s exactly what one can say about the BMW X6 M’s standard version. With the Hamann tuned version the limits of aesthetics seem to be pushed too far though.

The newly fitted body kit is wide, bulbous, rough looking and covered in vents, wings and spoilers that don’t exactly help.

Thankfully, Hamann tuning have spent quite a bit of time on the production of the power that spews out the huge twin exhausts in the middle of the car’s rear end.

That nearly scary sound comes from BMW’s 4.4 liter twin-turbo V8 engine. At the core it’s still the same engine, but there are quite a few differences.

The end result is that the Hamann Tycoon EVO produces 670 bhp at 6000 rpm and 576 lb-ft of torque all of which is available between 1500 and 5650 rpm.

With that considerable boost in power it’s now wonder Hamann have had to sacrifice the looks in order to make the car a viable option.

The chase for high speed stability and aerodynamics left no room for the BMW X6 M Tycoon EVO to be pretty. I don’t think it’s a fair trade-off but there’s certainly plenty of people out there who will.
