BMW’s M6 Convertible will make its debut at the British International Motor Show (July 18–30).
Powered by the 5.0-litre V10 engine and using a host of F1-derived technology, the car combines the performance of the M6 Coupé with open-air motoring. The 507hp engine powers the car from 0-100 km/h in 4.8 seconds.
Drive is via a seven-speed Sequential Manual Gearbox with Drivelogic – the world’s first such transmission that has already seen service in the BMW M5 and the M6 Coupé.
Prices for the M6 Convertible and full specification details will be announced nearer the launch date. It goes on sale in Ireland in September 2006.
