The Ultimate Ambulance: BMW X6 xDrive50i - 407 horsepower

Usually an ambulance is not something anyone should get excited about out, but when that emergency vehicle turns out to be a “monster on four wheels”, then things change.

The high-end X6 model, xDrive50i, has been converted into an ambulance which features all the necessary emergency equipment along with all the associated external visual emergency lights.

As you might remember, the BMW X6 is powered by a 4.4 liter V8 engine producing 407 horsepower. And since in the end it’s still a medical emergency vehicle, the car runs from 0-60 in 5.4 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph.

The X6 Ambulance will make its debut at the RETTmobil trade show for rescue and mobility vehicles in Germany.

Call me old fashioned, but if I were in dire need of an ambulance I wouldn't want to be taken away in this. I would much rather be laid out on a stretcher with room around me to spare.

Eh, this thing is designed to speed to the scene of the accident as quickly as possible with paramedics and their equipment onboard. Once they arrive at the scene they will attempt to stabilize the condition of the victim and UNTIL A REAL AMBULANCE arrives.

Then why don't they use an X5 ? At least they could fit some paramedics on the rear seat and equipment in the trunk... wich is impossible in that shameful remake of the Suzuki X-90

The Lexus LX570 is less powerful and less spacious and would not be suited for this type of work. It is a pretend luxury car. Can't say the same for that beautiful piece of German engineer machinery called the X6.

After we've seen the BMW 5 GT, the X6's proportions are starting to look more friendly :P But I actually love the design of the X6. It looks mean.
