2016 Moto GP BMW M2 Safety Car
The latest M model to assume the role of
the MotoGP Safety Car appeared at Qatar Grand Prix, held at the Losail
International Circuit in Doha.
Built at the BMW M factory in Garching,
this M2 was modified, optimized and prepared by hand and is equipped the car
with tailor-made solutions and mandatory safety features, as well as extensive
BMW M Performance parts.
These mods contribute to optimizing aerodynamics, cooling and weight, distinct
racing genes which provide the ideal basis for a MotoGP safety car. The
3.0-litre M Twin-Power Turbo engine was kept stock, mainly because the
rev-happy, 370 PS was deemed fit for purpose as it is.
The M2 joins the official MotoGP fleet
that includes a total of six different BMW M and BMW M performance models,
including the M4 Coupe with water injection and the X5 M. Completing the fleet
are two S 1000 RRs motorcycles.
