M6 Gran Coupe on the way

BMW will launch an M version of its 6 Series Gran Coupe in May at a price of €181,180 on the road.

The car will be powered by a 4.4 V8 with 560hp that permits a 100km/h sprint of 4.2 seconds. The transmission will be a 7-speed double-clutch automatic, with a race-developed Launch Control function to enable maximum acceleration from rest.

A feature of the 4-door coupe is a carbon-fibre reinforced plastic roof, while elements such as the grille and air intakes will set off the car from its lesser siblings. M sport seats and leather are standard inside.
