Get those groceries home real fast. M is getting more diluted then RS and that's too bad. When there's a Q7 RS I'll eat my words.

The hood was from a hybrid while it was still testing and camo'd. They didnt remove the camo when they transferred the hood to this prototype.

They want to make it faster than the new (lighter than its old generation) Cayenne Turbo S. Also ML will have a new AMG variant so X6M must stay on top
I'm curious if they will change the gearbox too
Audi has/had a v12 diesel model for the most performant Q7, but the engine was to heavy so the handling wasn't so good

Eat them already. Ever thought of the Q7 V12 TDI? As far as I am informed this little baby was developed and built by the Quattro division.

Not yet...no RS badges on the V12 and badass diesels don't count as they are über heavy.

I'd be surprized if they squeezed 450HP out of this 3L
150hp/liter on diesel motor is pretty crazy

Maybe it was all wrong - it is a DIESEL

According to Autocar, the X6M with different bonnet could be testing mule for the upcoming diesel super powerplant with over 500hp.

Quoting Autocar:

BMW plans to unveil a new diesel-powered version of the BMW M5 next spring, Autocar has learned. The diesel variant of the M5 will be a triple-turbo monster that will also adopt all-wheel drive to make sure that it can put its power to the road. This modified X6 may be the car in which the new motor is currently being tested.

Senior sources have confirmed rumours of the first oil-burning M car, which will be powered by a 3.0-litre in-line six using a small turbo to handle launch and two more twin-scroll turbos once the car begins to build up speed.

See spy pics of a modified X6M

Although it will make slightly less horsepower than the new petrol-powered BMW M5, the final numbers are likely to be in the 500bhp to 550bhp range. Torque, meanwhile, will exceed the 500lb ft of the new petrol M5 by a considerable margin — and could push north of 650lb ft.

To handle those tyre-spinning forces, “you have to go to all-wheel drive,” explained one senior BMW official. “Otherwise you’ll be spinning your tyres all day”.

For the record, M brand global marketing manager Brian Watts confirmed only that the maker is looking at a diesel M car because it “certainly has some interesting potential”. But senior sources confirmed that the project is well underway and that perhaps the biggest uncertainty is over the nomenclature that the new car will ultimately use.

More in line with the new 1M, it appears likely that the diesel performance car will bear a nameplate along the lines of 550dXM — the ‘d’ for diesel and the ‘X’ for all-wheel-drive in BMW lingo.

Significantly, although the diesel is slated to find its first use powering the 5-series, BMW sources say that it should eventually show up in other models, likely including the X5 and possibly even the 7-series.
