Munich (DE), 2nd May 2014. BMW Motorsport will not
only field eight BMW M4 DTMs in the 2014 DTM season, but is also
represented by a new lead car, based on the production model of the
BMW M4: the BMW M4 Coupé DTM Safety Car will lead the 23 DTM racing
cars around the circuits on the race calendar safely and with great aplomb.
The new BMW M4 Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 8.8-8.3 l/100 km;
combined CO2 emissions: 204–194 g/km) will make its debut as a safety
car at the race at the Nürburgring (DE) on 17th August 2014. The BMW
M4 Coupé combines motorsport genes and road capability in a
highly-emotional and balanced general concept. The completely new,
431-hp six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology
and high-rev characteristics generates a maximum torque of 550 newton
metres over a wide range of speeds. This allows the BMW M4 Coupé to
accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.
All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.
