E92 M3 Gtr

The title says it all! Debuting in ALMS in 2009. I think this will pwn the E46 M3 GTR hard. Looks wise, i don't know, IMO the E46 is still one of the best looking cars made by BMW, the GTR included. This one isn't bad on the other hand though :P

+1 XD Would be pretty cool.. But then they would have to balance it out with the other GTRs to have something to compete agaisnt I think. Would be boring if it was the only car in the class. ! Would still love to see it. lol

My only complaint are:

1. The front bumper looks really ugly, too square.
2. The rear bumper looks like something out of Need For Speed.
3. the overall body kit is too low and ricey.

Otherwise, i really like it. It's interesting and mean looking. Sorta like the F1 car.

1. Meh its not that bad I actually like it a bit.. Could hav been better
2. I love the rear bumper xD Maybe it does look like something from NFS but its nice.
3. The height of the car probably has to do with performance. I doupt they would lower it just to make it look nice and risk losing speed or performance in general.

It's a race car, GT2 class, it needs the wing. Who gives a toss how it looks?

Too low and ricey? It's a race car, of course it's low.

Damn skippy.

A friend alerted me to this yesterday; and I for one am quite excited about it. Not because it's a new BMW GT Car, but because it's a new GT2 car. With the effort being lead by Rahal-Letterman Racing, they are really pushing and we can expect to see even greater battles for victories in ALMS. I can't wait till it hits the track in 09.


...Now if only we could get more P1 and GT1 cars...

It just looks a bit like Chris Bangle took a racing car that ended up with a big bodykit for aerodynamic reasons and tried to style it, a bit like Mazda tried with that 'wind/nature' sports racer, which looked stunning and completely different, but if you try and do that to an already overly aggressively styled car it just looks silly.

God.... It would be cool if we got an ///M-Power Motorsport Pack:

E30 M3 (Could compete with the mGTRs)
M3 CSL 3.0
E36 M3 GTR (Start our GT3 class)
E92 M3 GTR (483 HP would fit in nicely with the GTR's)

I always liked the styling of the E92...

With that big intake(?) on the bonnet, where did they fit the engine? Is it still a V8?
