Record breaker

AC Schnitzer managed to get a record-breaking 179mph with its ACS3 3.5d Coupé at the 13km Nardo test track in southern Italy. It was the BMW tuning firm’s third record in as many visits to the famous test track, with previous conquests including the world’s fastest street-legal BMW in 2006 and the world’s fastest gas-powered car.
