The new models are exactly what the M engineers promised: focused on performance and developed to offer thrills. In this regard the two were built around a simple concept: lightness. After everyone out there complained that the current M5 and M6 models are too heavy to be called M cars to begin with, the company decided to take things more seriously.As promised, the M4 Coupe weighs less that 1,500 kg (3,306 lbs) and tips the scale at exactly 1,497 kg (3,300 lbs), the power output was increased by 11and the torque by 150 Nm, reaching 550 Nm (406 lb-ft), an immense number for a car that small and light.All of this was achieved thanks to the wide array of innovations the engineers used, developed whilst researching the i3 and i8 cars for a more sustainable future. The roof is made of, and so is the prop shaft whilst the front fender panels are made of aluminum alongside some of the suspension elements, providing sharper dynamics, according to BMW.And I tend to believe them because they used a DTM Driver in the development of the new car, by the name of Bruno Spengler, a guy you might’ve heard of, right? He provided valuable feedback to the engineers to make sure the car ends up a driver’s pleasure, bringing back the Ultimate Driving Machine motto, where it belongs.The range of new technologies is absolutely impressive. From the new Smokey Burnout function to the M Dynamic Mode and the Limited Slip Differential the car is shaping out to be a formidable track machine and we can’t wait to test drive it. Until then, we’re going to let you enjoy a couple of nice photos of the two and we suggest you check out our blog to see the complete specs of the cars.
