Third BMW M6 variant released
The newest member of the M6 family adds extra luxury and aesthetic appeal to BMW's acclaimed M performance characteristics, and carries a $7,000 premium over the base M6 coupe.
Specification for the Gran Coupé differs slightly from the base model due to the addition of the two-plus-one rear seats. Rear passengers also get a four- zone climate control system and roller sunblinds for the rear windscreen and rear side windows.
Further points of differentiation with the M6 Gran Coupe include exclusive 20-inch M light-alloy wheels, an Alcantara roofliner (featuring a leather centre section), as well as a carbon fibre rear diffusor.
BMW Group Australia managing director, Phil Horton, said the M6 Gran Coupé adds extra appeal and versatility to the M6 range.
"The M6 Gran Coupé combines ground breaking acceleration and dynamics with the real- world usability of a four-door vehicle, creating a truly versatile yet inspiring and elegant supercar," Mr Horton said.
Under the bonnet of the BMW M6 Gran Coupé is the familiar M-spec 'TwinPower Turbo' high-revving V8 found in the vehicle's two-door siblings. This powerplant develops 412 kW of power and an impressive 680 Nm of torque to give the BMW M6 Gran Coupé true supercar performance characteristics, propelling it from 0 - 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
The high-revving M TwinPower Turbo V8 drives through a seven-speed M Double Clutch transmission with Drivelogic and an Active M differential. Additionally, model-specific M tuned chassis technology, optimised aerodynamic properties and weight balance combine to serve up the characteristic M driving experience.
Average fuel consumption is 9.9 litres per 100 kilometres and CO2 emissions are 232 grams per kilometre in the EU test cycle thanks in part to the use of lightweight materials including the carbon fibre roof.
The BMW M6 Gran Coupe will be available from BMW dealerships nationally from $299,500.
