The New BMW M6.

World Debut of the new BMW M6. Launching the new M6, BMW
M GmbH is proudly presenting the most dynamic and sporting rendition of
the 6 Series Luxury Coupé. This makes BMW's large Coupé
in the guise of the M6 one of the most beautiful cars in the world - and
at the same time the most sophisticated and powerful 6 Series there has
ever been: five litres engine capacity, 10 cylinders, 507 bhp (373
kW), 520 Newton-metres (383 lb-ft) maximum torque, and engine speed
beyond the 8,000 rpm limit. Together with the outstanding,
uncompromising suspension designed and built exclusively for sporting
performance, this supreme power unit gives the BMW M6 all the qualities
of a thoroughbred supersports. But unlike its competitors usually
offering only two seats, the BMW M6 comes with all the space and
comfort of a typical 2+2-seater, plus the luxurious features of a
typical luxury performance BMW. The success principle: True power in a
discreet package. The BMW M6 shares its supreme power unit with the BMW
M5. Ever since being introduced in the M5, this engine has been
acknowledged as the absolute benchmark, just as the M5 is the very
epitome of the Sports Saloon. Now, introducing even more superior
performance data, the BMW M6 sets a new standard in the segment of
high-performance 2+2-seater luxury sports cars. Creating this unique
model, the engineers at BMW M GmbH have focused not only on the sheer
power of the engine, but also on the weight of the body and, as a
result, the mass to be accelerated as quickly as possible on the road.
Reducing weight to a sensible minimum, the M6 comes with all the driving
dynamics required for the race track, while in terms of motoring comfort
and equipment it is simply ideal for all roads the world over. Not
least, the body design of the BMW M6 modified only discreetly versus
the elegant look of the BMW Coupé comes with all the
understatement so characteristic of all M Models as their elementary
feature. Interacting with the seven-speed SMG transmission, the
magnificent chassis and suspension, the elegant body in innovative
lightweight technology, as well as the wide range of luxury equipment,
the ten-cylinder high-speed engine gives the customer a brand-new
dimension in motoring performance. It is indeed difficult to find any
genuine competitors to the M6, since all other more or less comparable
cars are either all-out supersports or sports saloons far inferior in
terms of agility. So given the car's innovative drive concept, a
power-to-weight ratio even better than on the M5, as well as unique
handling - and all this with all the everyday driving qualities of a
large coupé - the engineers at BMW M GmbH rightly claim that the
new BMW M6 truly comes in a class of its own. V10 power unit running
at racing speeds. Sharing BMW's V10 power unit, the M5 and M6 come with
one of the rare high-speed engines in regular saloon and coupé
production. Within the entire BMW family, the V10 is indeed the most
demanding engine in technical terms and, without doubt, the top
performer in every respect. Power and performance, however, are not
everything. Rather, what really counts is a car's acceleration and
driving dynamics on the road. And this depends, first, on the weight of
a car and, second, on the thrust and power which actually goes to the
drive wheels - which, in turn, is a result of engine torque and the
overall transmission ratio. BMW's high-speed engine concept allows an
optimum gearbox and final drive transmission ratio in all cases, thus
guaranteeing impressive thrust and momentum on the road at all times.
