Spied Again: New BMW M6, More Details Come Into Focus

Our Teamspeed spies send us today another set of images showing the next generation M6 getting closer to it's official reveal this fall. Shown here testing on massive 20 inch wheels the new M6 is expected to be revealed in September 2012, ahead of the 2012 Paris Motor show. These are the first batch of images sent to us exposing the lower part of the aggressive M-Style front bumper.

The 2012 M6 coupe will share the same 560hp 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 from the F10 M5. The monster 4.4-litre engine develops top output of 412 kW/560 hp at 6,000 – 7,000 rpm, while its maximum torque of 680 Newton meters (502 lb-ft) is on tap between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm. The rev limiter intervenes at 7,200 rpm. The rev band, which offers extremely dynamic acceleration between the arrival of peak torque and the availability of maximum output, is therefore almost three times as wide as that of the predecessor unit.

The sprint from rest to the 100 km/h (62 mph) mark like the M5 should be in the range of 4.2-4.5 seconds. Maximum speed will be electronically restricted to 250 km/h (155 mph); if the optional Driver’s Package is available as in the M5 this limit is raised to 305 km/h (190 mph).

 

are they the m5 wheels? not a fan of the standard 6 series but i think this will look and perform great.

 

Looks good. It looks they have gone back to incandescent bulbs in the front turn signals... I don't get why they don't just use LEDs for everything now.

 

Nice!

 

Dono....
Will have to wait
