The new BMW M6 Coupe has landed and it is all set to thrill

Bearing classical proportions with sporty yet elegant lines of the new BMW 6 Series and the familiar design language of BMW M cars form the foundations for the recently launched BMW M6 Coupe's eloquent body design. Powerfully taut surfaces and precise contours underline the athletic aura of the new M model. Additionally, a model-specific interpretation of hallmark BMW M styling cues includes design details which are influenced directly by technical considerations - such as the cooling air required, chassis geometry and aerodynamics.

More notably, a high-revving V8 engine with BMW M TwinPower Turbo technology can be found underneath its muscular bonnet. Longitudinally mounted at the front of the car, power from the 4.4-litre engine is channelled to the rear wheels via a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission with Drivelogic, churning out a maximum output of 560 horses between 6,000 and 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 680Nm between 1,500 and 5,750rpm.

This instantaneous and sustained power delivery is the key to unlocking the car's intoxicating acceleration. The new BMW M6 Coupe is able to dash from standstill to 100km/h in a mere 4.2 seconds, with a top speed that is electronically limited to 250 km/h. However, the optional M Driver's Package will help raise this barrier to 305 km/h.

With this impressive figures, Mr Joel Chang, Executive Director of Munich Automobiles Pte Ltd, said that the new BMW M6 Coupe has been designed out of a passion for elite performance and an appreciation of exclusive style.

The fact that the new M6 Coupe is light plays a big part too. An intelligent blend of materials gives the body structure impressive strength coupled with extremely low weight, allowing it to enhance both occupant protection and handling agility. In the case of the BMW M6 Coupe, its roof cover is made from the carbon-fibre composite material. A weight-to-power ratio of 3.5kg/hp for the new BMW M6 Coupe points to the significant advance that has also been made in this area over the predecessor model.

The advances in engine development enshrined in M TwinPower Turbo technology is also reflected in the new M6 Coupe's significantly greater efficiency compared to its predecessor. The high operating effectiveness of the engine, the standard-fitted Auto Start-Stop function and other examples of Efficient Dynamics technology, such as Brake Energy Regeneration helps to reduce fuel consumption and emissions by around 30%, without compromising on its driving performance. As a result, the new model has an average fuel consumption of 9.9L/100km in the EU test cycle and CO2 emissions of 232g/km.
