Without a doubt, the most anticipated launch of the BMW M series is the BMW M4 Coupé. This is the sports saloon in coupe format, a style that has championed BMW's sportiness for many decades. A car desired by all fans of speed and high sensations. In principle, the BMW M4 will be officially unveiled in September.

Be that as it may, the fact is that the Bavarian brand wants to warm our hearts. Thus, a few hours ago he showed images of the BMW M4 Coupé still camouflaged, accompanied by the next BMW M4 GT3, also camouflaged. The venue chosen for this event has been the Red Bull Ring circuit in Austria, where this weekend the MotoGP “BMW M Grand Prix of Styria” will be held.

According to statements by Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW M GmbH, “The BMW M4 Coupé and its motorsport counterpart, the BMW M4 GT3, are the icons of BMW M GmbH and the prime examples of technology transfer from motorsport to production in series, and vice versa. From the beginning, both vehicles were developed in parallel, so they both have the same genes. "

As many of you know, like the BMW M3, the new BMW M4 Coupé will be available in two versions. On the one hand we will have a "normal" M4 that will develop 480 hp and, on the other, the BMW M4 Competition, delivering 510 hp and enjoying a more radical set-up. To this must be added that the possibility of manual transmission will continue to be available, while the versions with the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission will have the Drivelogic system, with variable distribution of traction.

Meanwhile, the racing BMW M4 GT3 uses the same 6-cylinder block with 3-liter displacement and M TwinPower Turbo technology. Of course, the benefits are unknown. According to the brand, the car will debut in competition in some appointments of the next season 2021. This car will gradually replace the BMW M6 GT3.
