2016 BMW M6 GT3
To debut at 24H Dubai or Rolex 24 Daytona
The BMW M6 GT3 racecar has been caught on camera once again ahead of an early 2016 reveal.
It was exhibited at the TOTAL 24 hours of Spa during a special event organized for racing teams and according to BMW Motorsport director Jens Marquardt the racecar will be fully revealed early next year either at the Hankook 24H Dubai set for January 14-16 or at Rolex 24 at Daytona programmed for January 30-31.
As you can see, the track-only beast looks significantly more aggressive than its road-going counterpart and comes with an aerodynamic body kit optimized in the wind tunnel and featuring a massive rear wing along with a ventilated hood. The M6 GT3 also has side-mounted exhaust tips and a huge front splitter made from carbon fiber while the roof hatch will allow the driver to get out of the car in case of an unfortunate accident.
Tipping the scales at less than 1,300 kg (2,866 lbs), the M6 GT3 should be an absolute rocket as its twin-turbo V8 4.4-liter engine has been modified specifically for track use and is going to deliver in excess of 500 bhp (373 kW) transferred to the road via a race-spec six-speed sequential gearbox.
BMW Motorsport has previously announced the M6 GT3 will compete starting next year in several national and international series, including endurance races. PHOTOS
