While it's unlikely BMW will build an M-version of
the new 6-Series Gran Turismo, we can still get an idea of what it would look
like thanks to rendering artists. This one comes courtesy of X-Tomi Design and
it's basically the M-Sport package edition, but with a more aggressive front
spoiler, side skirts, blacked out grille, new mirrors, bigger wheels and
lowered suspension.
In reality, the sportiest 6-Series GT you can get
right now is the 640i xDrive version that sports 340 PS, 450 Nm and
0-100 km/h time of 5.3 seconds. The older 550i xDrive Gran Turismo needed
just 4.8 seconds to hit that same mark, thanks to its 449 PS and 650 Nm of torque. Thankfully, a 650i GT is expected to arrive at some point,
with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 and, most probably, all-wheel drive.
As far as how successful the 6-Series GT will
be, generally speaking, the jury is still out, though at least one can argue
that it is an improvement over the 5-Series GT, which it replaces.
