Bavarien automakers have ascended the auto industry’s ladder to become some of the most popular and consumer friendly in the whole world.
The Japanese company has long been known for producing fantastic, luxurious, performance-oriented vehicles.
Consumers look onto BMW as reliable, powerful, tunable sports cars. The e30 M3 for instance can be tuned to up to or more than 550hp fairly easily. And if you upgrade the suspension and brakes, you are left with a wicked little track car that can compete with all the Corvettes, Porsche and Ferraries out there!
560HP / twin-turbo 4.4L / 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds / 1/4 mile: 12.0s @ 122 mph
So in a nutshell, the M6 Gran Coupe is an M5 with a few more curves, and when it comes to hitting some curves, the GC quickly established itself as more than capable.
M engineers put their hands on every aspect of the chassis, transforming it by directly bolting the rear axle subframe to the body for greater stiffness, adding M Dynamic Damper Control shocks, and of course tweaking the electronics, which we still found very intrusive unless they were turned all the way off. Much like the M6, it’s not a lightweight, coming in at over 44-hundred pounds, yet it manages to feel much lighter through the cones with way more quickness than expected in a car this big, all while providing good amounts of feedback.
Another newer version of the M6, the Gran Coupe is able to hold its own with the best of them. Like its sibling vehicles, the M6 Gran Coupe comes with a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8, producing 560 horsepower and 500 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual clutch gearbox, delivering a driving experience that few other cars on the road can match, especially when you consider its zero to 60 time of 3.8 seconds. The streamlined exterior really set this car apart, arguably making it one of the sexiest options available in the luxury car market.
