2011 BMW X6 Gets N55 Single-Turbo Six, Eight-Speed Transmission

The ever-controversial BMW X6 may not be the most practical or overtly stylish of vehicles, but there’s no doubt that it stands true to BMW’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” mantra. For 2011, however, the X6 will no longer use the delicious twin-turbo inline-six used across the rest of the BMW range (codenamed N54), and will instead be powered by the automaker’s new N55 twin-scroll, single-turbo six, which we recently had the chance to sample in the 2011 BMW 535i sedan.

Gamer: Gran Turismo for PSP

We would imagine that by now, to tell our readers that the staff of Winding Road are huge fans of the Gran Turismo series of driving simulators would be roughly akin to telling them that water is wet—pretty obvious.

Keepers: Subaru Impreza WRX
