BMW Z4 GT3 is the V8-powered Z4 M you can race

BMW Z4 GT3.

As part of its customer racing programme, BMW Motorsport is offering private teams another attractive car from 2010: the BMW Z4 GT3. This sports car is an impressive addition to the BMW product range and offers drivers and teams the opportunity to compete in international and national championships in accordance with GT3 regulations – such as the FIA GT3 European Championship, International GT Open and the ADAC GT Masters – as well as in 24-hour endurance races.

The BMW Z4 GT3 is powered by a four-litre, eight-cylinder engine producing approximately 480 bhp. When it comes to electronics, the private teams can look forward to innovative BMW solutions, which have proven themselves in the BMW M3 GT2: the engine is controlled by the modern ECU 408, while the Power400 control unit is responsible for operating all actuators. The transmission takes place via a sequential, six-speed gearbox. The scope of delivery also includes rims with locking and safety clips, as well as racing ABS and optional air conditioning.

The BMW Z4 GT3 in its racing version is available from the second quarter of 2010 at an estimated price of 298,000 Euro (plus VAT). If interested, please send an email to Z4GT3@bmw-motorsport.com or send a fax to +49 89 382 208 55.

A race version is not allowed if a street legal version is not made I believe? Or something to that extend?

Anyways, Z4 M or even crazier imo is a given. Scott says no because he wants to sell the Z4 now, and not have people waiting for an M version. All marketing.

I would ... get this ... over .... any ... 911 ... racing version whatsoever.

If there is a street version of this, it would be really hard for me not to consider it.

 

[klier]

There has also never been a 911 that's so pretty.

I think it's different in this case. Also, Dr. Mario Theissen said that 'On our side there are no plans for a road version of this car…'.

Wouldn't be the first Z4M they build nonetheless, though.

Z4 M and Z4 (M) coupé for the facelift. BMW is not going to fool us there, that car is a given.

Most awesome BMW ever made, without a doubt.
And the 4.0 V8 with 480 hp is just heaven on earth, and it makes the 4.4l, 456 hp V8 GTS a bit silly sadly.

Talking about the GTS engine, I am really surprised they went to the extend of making a higher displacement engine for such a limited run for just another 30 hp - when they could probably got that with a freer breathing intake and exhaust on the 4l unit. May be they have other plans with that engine.

I sure think so. It would be very strange otherwise.
