2016 BMW M4 GTS specs

BMW M4 GTS Review

BMW release windiest M4 variant production version is on the market with a limit of only 700 units. Basically, M4 GTS is the M4 which squeezed its ability to use a special circuit. Flagship weapon exist in the use of new water injection system was first used in mass production cars.

The simple explanation like this, the water injection system (water injection system) spraying water toward the intake tract, with the aim of lowering the temperature of air in the intake tract. The result is power from the engine 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder belonging to M4 surged 16 percent to 493 PS, while torque is up 10 percent to 599 Nm. Remarkably, despite a significant leap forward power, BMW claims fuel consumption remains the same as the standard BMW M4.

BMW M4 GTS can accelerate from 0-100 km / h in 3.8 seconds or 0.4 seconds faster than the standard M4. Acceleration at every level of acceleration has increased to reach a top speed at 305 km / h. The figures are achieved through a dual-clutch transmission M-DCT 7-speed. Based on the test results at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit, M4 GTS is able to record time of 7 minutes 28 seconds. The note is 24 seconds faster than the standard M4, 20 seconds faster than the M3 GTS and the equivalent laptime Porsche Carrera GT.

A considerable difference compared to regular M4. The increase in engine power is not the main factor, but a strict diet weight reduction would be severely impacted. BMW M4 GTS uses lightweight carbon fiber material on the roof, rear spoiler, and in some important panel. The part that is not useful is eliminated, as the rear seats are definitely heavy weight. Some panels are made lighter, such as the center console, door panels and a divider between the cabin with the luggage area. But the convenience of supporting features such as navigation systems and air conditioning remain. If it returns compared with a standard M4, GTS 116 kg lighter. As a result the ratio of power-to-weight to 3.0 kg / hp.

Boosted engine power and significant shrinking weight, other parts that need to be improved to be sure of the suspension sector. M4 GTS include a sport suspension that can be set manually. Using a three-way coilover M specifically tuned for the GTS, can be set as desired and adapted to the kind of character circuits. Braking sector improved considerably thanks to the application of M carbon ceramic brakes are very useful on the track.

Interior nuance racing primarily of bucket seats made of carbon fiber. The size thin looks uncomfortable and indeed function to embrace the body of the driver and passengers with very closely when receiving the force of gravity. Alcantara lining on the steering wheel, seats, dashboard and door trim adds to the atmosphere. Most extreme are roll bar behind the seats to strengthen the structure and to protect passengers when the car overturned.
