BMW reveals the latest avatar of its M6 both in Coupe and Convertible, all set to hit road by September, 2012.
Powered by the same, massive 680-Nm torque generating, high revving 4.4-litre V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology, consisting of Twin Scroll Twin Turbo technology, cross-bank exhaust manifold, High Precision Direct Petrol Injection and VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control drive-chain, as previously shown in the BMW M5. The acceleration figures are impressive as well with 0–100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds (BMW M6 Coupe) or 4.3 seconds (BMW M6 Convertible); 0–200 km/h (124 mph) in 12.6 (13.1) seconds; electronically governed top speed: 250 km/h (155 mph) or 305 km/h (189 mph) with M Driver’s Package. The new M kidney grille with black double slats; flared wheel arches; aerodynamically optimised exterior mirrors and side skirts; BMW Individual High-gloss Shadow Line; exposed reflectors below the rear lights; aerodynamically optimised rear apron with diffuser between the right and left-hand pair of twin exhaust tailpipes; 19-inch (standard) or 20-inch (optional) forged M light-alloy wheels exalt the exteriors. Inside the cabin are the newly developed M double-spoke leather steering wheel; M gear selector and car set-up controls on the model-specific centre console; Merino leather upholstery with extended features; exclusive carbon-fibre interior trim strips; illuminated door sill finishers with model lettering; M-specific instrument cluster with black-panel technology and the 2-zone automatic climate control. As interesting it appears on paper, we will come back with how it fares on road soon. |
