BMW has teased the 2022 M4 GT4 that will be available to customers next year. The new race car is, of course, based on the G82-generation BMW M4 that you can buy for the street. It will serve as a direct successor to the F82-generation M4 GT4 that made its debut in 2017.
The single teaser image released by BMW M
Design shows that it will sport a swan-neck rear wing, radically different than
the one on the outgoing model. Additionally, we can see that the race car
benefits from swollen arches and also has quad tailpipes, a pronounced rear
diffuser, extended side skirts, and a revised front fascia with an aerodynamic
splitter and carbon fiber canards.
Like the road car, the new M4 GT4 will be
powered by a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder but whereas the
street-legal model pumps out 503 hp in M4 Competition specification, the M4
GT4’s powertrain will be detuned to comply with racing regulations. The
interior of the M4 GT4 will also be radically different than the standard M4 as
it’ll be stripped out and fitted with a full roll cage, a pair of racing bucket
seats, and all necessary safety and regulation-required equipment.
Pricing and availability details haven’t
been announced yet, but the previous-generation model was priced from around
€ 170,000 in Europe and US$ 210,000 in the United States.
