GT racing: 18th BMW Art Car to be presented in Beijing at end of May.

This weekend, the BMW M6 GTLM Art Car designed by US artist John Baldessari enjoyed a much-heralded race outing at the 24 Hours of Daytona (USA). Dr. Thomas Girst, Head of Cultural Engagement BMW Group, and BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt gave a press conference at the event, during which they announced that the 18th BMW Art Car, designed by Chinese artist Cao Fei, will be presented to the public in Beijing (CHN) at the end of May. The BMW M6 GT3 will take to the track at the FIA GT World Cup in Macau (MAC) in November.

Formula E: António Félix da Costa on promotional tour in New York.

BMW works driver António Félix da Costa (PRT) spent two days in New York (USA) last week to promote the debut of the FIA Formula E Championship in the “Big Apple”. Races nine and ten of the season will take place on 15th and 16th July in the district of Brooklyn, which boasts a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline. Félix da Costa took his Formula E powerhouse onto the track for a demonstration – and with big-name support: American Football star Victor Cruz (USA) of the NFL team New York Giants took the opportunity to get a taste of Formula E before the races in July. Félix da Costa continued his promotional tour in New York with a host of media appointments. “We’ve had good experiences so far in Formula E with how we approach new cities,” said Félix da Costa. “I think New York is going to raise the bar on any other city. I can’t wait to race here for real in July.”

CO2 emission information.

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.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
