BMW are launching the new M6 in both Coupe and Convertible form; both offering the traditional M values of power and performance in a beautifully handling and crafted package.
In either guise the M6 is powered by a 4.4 litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine offering 560bhp (a class leading figure) and 680Nm of torque powering the car to 62mph from standstill in 4.2 seconds and onto a top speed of 189mph (with the M Driver package).
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels through an active rear differential via a 7 speed M Double Clutch Transmission which offers Drivelogic, launch control and low speed assistance.
Braking and suspension are as impressive as ever with Dynamic Damper Control and DSC as standard and unique carbon-ceramic brakes available as an optional extra.
The Coupe benefits from a carbon reinforced roof whilst both models have adaptive LED headlamps fitted as standard. Wider arches and improved aerodynamics combined with subtle styling alterations to set the M6 apart from other BMW 6s. At the rear two pairs of twin exhausts help the exhaust gases exit quickly and tunefully.
Despite being more powerful (with a 30% increase in torque) the new M6 is more than 30% more frugal than the model it replaces.
