BMW Motorsport unveils E92 M3 GT2 ALMS race car
BMW used Chicago's Auto Show to announce their return to the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) next year with two race-prepped versions of the E92 M3 coupe, set to race in the GT2 class.
The race car features 485hp version of the 4.0L high-rev V8 engine, race-tuned chassis, and a significantly wider and lighter body with an abundance of carbon fiber parts.
The aerokit is quite aggressive to previous BMW race cars and it was developed using numerous F1 techniques including computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel analysis.
The car also features a new POWER400 ECU system that does away with conventional relays and fuses and saves even more weight.
I wonder if you can get those wheels on the stock E92 ///M3?
