Harder-core BMW M4 On The Way

In preparation for their brands 100th anniversary, BMW is said to reveal a hardcore M4 Coupe in 2016.

Details are sparse, but Motoring is reporting that several sources have confirmed the development of a lightweight, track-focused version of the M4 Coupe, (possibly to be called the GTS) is underway.

“For what we are planning, look more to the M3 GTS than the CSL,” the source said. “We have concepts for a special model and this will be the homologation basis.”

The report notes that the harder-corde M-er will be offered exclusively with a manual transmission, (we'll believe it when we see it) and could weigh under 3086 lbs due to the use of aluminum doors and additional carbon fiber components. More weight saving will come from a stripped out interior with lightweight racing seats, yum.

It looks tempting on photos but in reality we will see the outcome. Nowadays BMW is not meeting my requirements!

 

Awesome!

 

Love the look. M4 is definitely in my radar for a next car.

 

Test drive a 435Xi yesterday and if that platform is the prelude to the ///M4 we are in for a treat! Amazing car! Spoken to a couple of people at BMW ///M and they are on a war path .. expect the new M4 & M3 to be kings! They are tired of hearing Porsche this and Audi that..

 

Why wait until 2016? I was at the sneak prewiew of the 4-series coupe last night, and it looks realy good!

 

That's a pretty aggressive front bar

 

BMW is announcing this next January but when will it be released to the public ?
