Aesthetic allure
meets high performance - The new BMW M6
Munich - Out of a
passion for elite performance and an appreciation of exclusive style
comes the allure for which M Automobiles are renowned – and which can
now be experienced in two new forms. The new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6
Convertible offer top-class performance attributes and an ambience
defined by luxury and innovative comfort features.
In so doing, the
high-performance sports cars developed by BMW M GmbH exude a level of
poise and assurance unmatched in the premium segment of the executive
class – and reflected authentically in the expressive design of the two
models. The precise interplay of their high-revving V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and 412 kW/560 hp, a seven-speed M Double
Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic, Active M Differential,
model-specific chassis technology, an ideal weight balance and optimised
aerodynamic properties serves up a particularly full-blooded M
experience.
The conceptual harmony
characteristic of M Automobiles also incorporates the specific features
of the two models’ body structures. The new BMW M6 Coupe has a
dynamically contoured, lightweight roof made from carbon fibre-
reinforced plastic. The new BMW M6 Convertible, meanwhile, is fitted
with a high-quality soft-top, complete with eye-catching "fin" styling
and fully electronic opening mechanism. All of which allows the driver
and passengers to enjoy the dynamic performance of a high-performance
sports car in harmony with the natural forces of the sun and wind.
The motor sport
technology in the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible paves the way
for imposing performance on the race track, but also treats the driver
to a captivating driving experience on everyday journeys from A to B.
The BMW M6 Coupe sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.2 seconds, the
BMW M6 Convertible in 4.3 seconds.
However, the dynamic character of
both models is also defined by their mid-range agility, the precision of
their turn-in and traction when accelerating out of corners, their
precisely controllable handling under intense lateral forces and their
stopping capability. The latest innovation designed to optimise the
handling of the new BMW M6 Coupe and BMW M6 Convertible in highly
dynamic driving situations are the M carbon-ceramic brakes, offered as
an option for the first time.
Another attribute
unmatched by any rival is the leap forward in efficiency that comes with
the new editions of the two high-performance sports cars. The new BMW M6
Coupe records average fuel consumption of 9.9 litres per 100 kilometres
(28.5 mpg imp) and CO2 emissions of 232 grams per kilometre in the EU
test cycle.
The equivalent values for the new BMW M6 Convertible are
10.3 l/100 km (27.4 mpg imp) and 239 g/km. Despite a 10 per cent
increase in engine output and a 30 per cent jump in peak torque – to 680
Newton metres (502 lb-ft) – fuel consumption and CO2 emissions have been
reduced by over 30 per cent in both cases compared with their respective
predecessors.
