As you may know already, Bmw won the Nurburgring 24 Hour race last weekend and it appears that the Bavarian manufacturer wants to celebrate it with a limited edition of the M3 GTS.
Dubbed M3 GTS-R, the car will feature wider rear wheel arches leading into the side sills, a new set of y-shape design in 5-spokes which will be much lighter than the competition spec wheels, a new double lip front spoiler as well as an adjustable rear carbon fiber spoiler. The roof will be made of carbon fiber, as well as the front hood and rear deck lid. The lightweight glass will remain the same as on the standard GTS. Regarding the power, expect more as the German engineers are working hard on obtaining more from the 4.0-liter V8 engine which delivers 420 hp on the standard M3. The engine will be mated to the DCT transmission and the car could also use the incoming M5’s KERS regenerative braking and boost function. The design concept of this M3 will be finished in Stealth Frozen matte black with matching wheels.
