New BMW M4 unveiled
The M4 GTS is said to be a new and exclusive technological showpiece which elevates the potential of the BMW M4 Coupe to another impressive new level.
With its powerful, motor sport-inspired looks and high-performance technology, the BMW M4 GTS has its sights set squarely on the race track. A lap time of 7.28 minutes around the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife, the world’s most exacting race circuit, is a clear statement of this special-edition model’s exceptional abilities.
At the same time, the sharpest BMW M4 of all - like its BMW M stablemates - can also hold its own on public roads. BMW M GmbH is launching the BMW M4 GTS in a special edition limited to 700 units to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the BMW M3, which has been in production since 1986.
In so doing, it is highlighting the innovative flair of the BMW M engineers in developing trailblazing M technologies on the powertrain, chassis and lightweight construction front. The first high-performance special edition in the M3/M4 model range will also be available for the first time in the North American market.
“Special-edition models like the BMW M3 GT, BMW M3 CSL, BMW M3 GTS and BMW M3 CRT have a decades-long tradition in our mid-size line-up — and that continues with the BMW M4,” says Frank van Meel, CEO of BMW M GmbH.
“They sharpen the character of the BMW M brand and embody an emotionally rich and exclusive driving experience. We’ve taken a radical route with the setup of the BMW M4 GTS to create a sports machine for the race track that delivers top-end dynamics and inspirational performance.
“It allows us to demonstrate what is possible today with a road-legal car. Owners can drive their BMW M4 GTS to circuits such as Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring or Laguna Seca — for clubsport events, for example — and then set lap times there that raise the bar to extremely high levels for road-legal cars,” van Meel commented.
No details of pricing have been announced, but be assured you’ll need deep pockets.
