Roll bars, Recaro seats, 6-point racing harnesses, etc.
The new BMW M2 inspires with the classic characteristics of a high-performance sports car - in a concentrated form and with advanced technology. With its compact dimensions and the 460 hp M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine, the new BMW M2 forms the perfect basis for a BMW M Safety Car. For its use on the MotoGP™ race tracks, the BMW M2 was equipped with various safety car elements.
These include a roll bar, Recaro seats, 6-point racing seat belts, a fire extinguisher, the safety car roof beam and the corresponding front flashers. Some M Performance Parts such as the exhaust system, chassis, carbon mirror flaps, diffuser and rear wing were also installed. The livery of the BMW M2 MotoGP™ Safety Car corresponds to the typical BMW M Safety Car livery. In addition to the new BMW M2 MotoGP™ Safety Car, the Safety Car fleet will also include numerous other BMW M Safety, Medical and Official Cars as well as BMW M 2023 RR Safety Bikes in 1000.
