“For me, as BMW Motorsport Director, there are few things more exciting than the development of a completely new car like the BMW M6 GT3,” said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt in the press release. “This car’s properties make it predestined to succeed the BMW Z4 GT3.”
Powering the M6 GT3 is a BMW M Twin Power Turbo 4.4-liter eight-cylinder engine. This engine is similar to the one found powering the production model M6, but it has been tuned specifically for racing.
