BMW begins testing the M6 GT3

BMW Motorsport has given the M6 GT3 its first track run. The new racer, which is due to begin competing in 2016, was driven by Jörg Müller.



Like the road-going M6, power comes from a 4.4 litre turbocharged V8 engine. However, for the GT3 version it gains dry-sump lubrication and a six-speed sequential transmission. Output is said to be in excess of 500 horsepower (around 370 kW).

The bodywork features numerous aerodynamic appendages as well as the necessary FIA-approved safety devices, yet the car weighs less than 1,300 kg (2,866 lbs). That should result in a power-to-weight ratio of roughly 385 horsepower per tonne.



Privateer entrants interested in running an M6 GT3 are being invited to contact BMW Motorsport. A purchase price hasn't been revealed, though.
