2010 BMW M3 GTS

(continued from above)

The BMW M3 GTS is produced at the BMW M GmbH manufacturing facility. In addition to a larger and more powerful V8 engine, exclusive tuning of the 7-speed M Dual Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic and modified suspension technology, the car, which is designed for club sport use, has also been specifically optimized with regard to aerodynamics and lightweight construction.

The supreme sporting potential of the BMW M3 GTS is underlined, inter alia, by a power-to-weight ratio that has been lowered to 7.5 lbs per hp. Featuring a transmission and suspension configuration which has been optimised for the racetrack, the BMW M3 GTS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in a mere 4.2 seconds. The car reaches the 1000 meter mark from a standstill in just 22.5 seconds. Top speed is 190 mph (305 km/h).

"The BMW M3 is an icon and internationally synonymous with the highest level of dynamics," explains Dr. Kay Segler, CEO of the BMW M GmbH. "Our aim was to develop a model variant that would prove its outstanding potential both on the road and at club sport racing events. The BMW M3 GTS is pure M feeling, embodying the brand values in a highly concentrated form."
