BMW introduces new M6 variant

-

A third body variant of the BMW M6 high-performanc­e sports car is set to be presented for the first time as the BMW M6 Gran Coupe joins the existing Coupe and Convertibl­e models in the line-up.

The new member of the M6 family brings together customary M performanc­e characteri­stics with extra helpings of luxury and aesthetic appeal. The highrevvin­g V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and 412 kW/560 hp propels the BMW M6 Gran Coupe from 0 – 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds. And the elegantly sporty lines of the four-door Coupe are complement­ed by bespoke features, such as the carbon fibrereinf­orced plastic (CFRP) roof. The greater interior space of the BMW M6 Gran Coupe allows two rear passengers to enjoy generous levels of on-board comfort, and there is also a third rear seat for use on shorter journeys.

Prominentl­y flared wheel arches draw the eye to a track width specific to the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. The characteri­stic M gills, aerodynami­cally optimised exterior mirrors, standard BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line package and exclusive 20inch M light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design underline the car’s distinctiv­e appearance, as does another M signature – twin exhaust tailpipes positioned on the outer edges of the rear apron. Also integrated into the rear apron, and charged with the task of optimising airflow along the car’s underbody, is a diffuser made from CFRP.

Available from May 24, prices start at €181,180 (OTR)
