The BMW M6 GT3 was introduced by BMW Motorsport in 2016 as a replacement for the Z4 GT3 car. Based on a standard M6 the guys at the BMW factory engineered the car to meet FIA GT3 regulations. The engine in the car was virtually unchanged from the 4.4L V8 engine in the standard model, which produces 560BHP and a 0-60MPH time of 4.2 seconds. BMW stated that the M6 was stripped out for the GT3 conversion, reducing the weight to less than 1300KG. When built, BMW sold the GT3 car for approximately £280,000.

This guy has decided to try and build an M6 GT3 himself. The engineer has set up an Instagram page where you can follow his progress. There's little on there so far, but you can follow and start to see the car come together, it's going to take a lot of stripping parts and replacing them with carbon fibre! We can look forward to the finished project!
