Lumma releases teaser of CLR X650 BMW X6
Opinions about the BMW X6 are split around the Autoblog virtual water cooler and this teaser from Lumma Design hasn't helped. The German tuning haus will be unveiling a production model of its CLR X 650 at the Paris Motor Show later this year, and much like the standard X6, you'll either love it or loathe it.
What isn't up for debate is the CLR X 650's aggressive demeanor. If the nuclear mishap hue isn't enough to catch your attention, then the new fascia equipped with super-sized air dams, the side skirts, rear fender vents and revised mirrors will keep your wandering eyes in check. The whole package is slammed by 40mm over a set of 23-inch bespoke black rolling stock, while the interior is expected to get a color-matched instrument panel, aluminum pedals and a new steering wheel.
Even those of us partial to the X6's proportions aren't convinced that Lumma is doing the SAV concept right. But we have to admit that its revised stance compliments a few of the pseudo-'utes characteristics, even if it does remove the minimal amount of utility that was there to begin with.

It's odd, but the photo makes the X6 look much smaller than it really is....almost looks like a hot hatch, I guess its the widebody kit or the lowered suspension. With a different color this bad boy would look pretty cool, though I don't think I'd ever buy one.

I don't really care for the X6 in it's normal stance, but this one looks pretty good actually. Even with the green paint. I agree it looks a bit like a hot hatch, kind of similar to an SRT-4 Caliber.
If I owned one, I'd like it to look like this, but in a different color. Then again, it would defeat the purpose of it's SUV-like qualities, so I'd likely just opt for a 5-series with the same motor. Makes the X6 look 100% better though IMO.

x6 would be really cool hot hatch. I can see it as bmw's answer for subaru impreza and evox...small, light and damn fast. unfortunally x6 is twice as big and twice as heavy

I almost threw up, and then I studied the picture and decidedly like it.

Its not too bad. When I first glanced at it before reading the headline (I always do this) I thought it was some sort of 3 Series. I know they color it green and all to make it flashy, but if that was in a normal dark color it would look real sharp. Looks like a big hot hatch.

BMW - watch as we slowly morph our SUVs back into sport sedans.

I think it looks pretty good. All it needs is a different color.

This is a very interesting design - I've never seen a car blend together elements from so many different types of vehicles. You can see how it's a bit like an SUV, a sedan, a coupe and a hatchback all at once.

looks like a blatant rip of the Infiniti FX's "bionic cheetah" stance/profile
