BMW M6

BMW M6 sports cars

The BMW M6 is their high performance-luxury model, derievd from the 6-Series coupe or convertible with enhancements by the "M" performance division and varies significantly from a normal 6 in detail. Under the hood, the 650i's 360-horsepower 4.8-liter V8 is pleasantly excused with a 5.0-liter V10 engine with an 8250-rpm redline, combined with a six-speed manual or seven-speed automated sequential manual SMG gearbox. It provides drivers with exceptional acceleration (zero to 60 in 4.5 seconds)

The upgraded suspension is a must to team up with the increased power, along with a modified exterior for better cooling, lighter weight, and greater downforce. Although it has a bigger motor and additional improvements, its curb weight is just higher by around 100 pounds because of using carbon fiber, aluminum to substitute the steel for body panels.
