Pretty bad-ass for a Z4. Press release:
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).
