World premiere at the Red Bull Ring: For the first time, BMW M GmbH presented its two icons for the road and the racetrack side by side, the prototypes of the new BMW M4 Coupé (Combined fuel consumption: 10,9 - 10,5 l / 100 km *; Combined CO2 emissions: 249 - 239 g / km *, provisional values) and the new BMW M4 GT3. Both vehicles appeared in the run-up to the MotoGP “BMW M Grand Prix of Styria” in a camouflage design specially made for this purpose, as their final design will only be shown at a later date.
both vehicles developed in parallel
"I am very pleased that we can present the new BMW M4 Coupé and the new BMW M4 GT3 here together. As the title sponsor of the 'BMW M Grand Prix of Styria' and long-term partner of MotoGP rights holder Dorna Sports, I can't think of a better place for this special premiere. The BMW M4 Coupé and its motorsport counterpart, the BMW M4 GT3, are the icons of BMW M GmbH and prime examples of technology transfer from motorsport to series production - and back again. Both vehicles were developed in parallel from the beginning and therefore have the same genes“, Says Markus Flasch, Managing Director of BMW M GmbH, who himself completed his first laps at the Red Bull Ring in the BMW M4 Coupé.
two power levels with 480 hp and 510 hp
The new BMW M4 Coupé, like the new BMW M3 Sedan and all other current high-performance automobiles from BMW M GmbH, will be available in two power levels: In addition to a variant with 353 kW / 480 PS and 6-speed manual transmission, each A competition model with 375 kW / 510 PS and 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic is also available. The common heart of all BMW M4 is the newly developed in-line six-cylinder with M TwinPower turbo technology and high-rev concept. The high-performance engine was developed from the start on the basis of a performance characteristic that is derived directly from motorsport. It is not just the BMW M Customer Racing Teams that will benefit from this, as they will field the BMW M4 GT3 in numerous GT series around the world. This also raises the level of driving pleasure for the BMW M4 road vehicles to a new level.
BMW M4 GT3 competition car
For Philipp Eng, who drove the BMW M4 GT3, the appearance on the Austrian circuit was a welcome foretaste of the coming year: “I can't wait to start with the BMW M4 GT3,“Says the Austrian who competes in the DTM with the ZF BMW M4 DTM. "The BMW M4 GT3 will complete its first races as early as next year and can then prove its performance under competitive conditions. I am sure that he has what it takes to continue the long and successful tradition of BMW M vehicles in GT customer racing.“After selected races in 2021, the BMW M4 GT3 will eventually replace the BMW M2022 GT6 as the top model in BMW's customer racing range in 3. The BMW M6 GT3 has been part of the BMW M Motorsport vehicle portfolio since 2016 and won the Spa-Francorchamps 24 Hours in its debut year, only to surpass the success two years later with a double victory.
final, intensive tests are pending
However, before the new BMW M4 Coupé is actually released onto the road and racetrack without a special camouflage design, the final, intensive tests are due. The official world premiere is planned for September 2020. One thing is already certain: one of the MotoGP drivers who are fighting for points and placings a few days after the BMW M4 Coupé made its appearance at the Red Bull Ring will also have the pleasure of driving an icon from BMW M GmbH. Because the winner of the “BMW M Grand Prix of Styria”, which will be held from August 21 to 23, will be awarded an exclusive BMW M4 Coupé of the 2021 model generation.
