Geez that's some light weight for a car this size

DieGrüneHölle · 02-05-2015, 12:43 PM

I figured they had no plans to go GT racing with the M4 and a motorsport version of the S55.

hellrotm · 02-05-2015, 12:53 PM

I guess the trend is to take large grand tourer cars racing. Reminds me of Bentley racing a GT3 version of the Continental GT.

It also weighs 1300kg. Runs the 4.0L twin turbo V8.

No it is not the first. BMW had several race cars with turbo engines, like the 320i in the late 70s and their Formula One motors in the 80s.

Not the first, BMW had a few FI racecars in the 80s, including the motor that powered a Brabham car to a drivers championship.

edit: just found this ...

In 2016, BMW Motorsport will add a new chapter to its success story in GT racing. The BMW M6 GT3 will replace the BMW Z4 GT3, which has been in action since 2010. Orders will be accepted over the course of 2015.

"This car’s properties make it predestined to succeed the BMW Z4 GT3", said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt. "The BMW Z4 GT3 has enjoyed success around the world in recent years, and is very popular among our customers. We obviously want to follow on from this success with the BMW M6 GT3. After all, the target we have set ourselves is to provide our customers with the best possible material. It goes without saying that we will continue to offer BMW Z4 GT3 customers our full support, just as they have come to expect from us."
