Its name and the type of engine that will lie under its hood may be debatable, but plans for a successor to today’s M3 Coupe do exist. However, you’ll have to wait at least until 2013 to see the high performance model in BMW‘s dealerships.
For those of you that just can’t wait to get a peek at the next M3 Coupe or perhaps as we may come to know it, the M4, graphic designer Jacek Kolodziejczyk has put his skills to work developing a pretty realistic rendering of the coupe model.
The 30-year old artist used several styling elements found on the new F30 3-Series sedan while also borrowing some cues from the M3 sedan prototypes scooped over the past few months.
While BMW is keeping its cards tight against its chest for the time being, it is believed that both the next M3 Coupe and Sedan models will replace the current M3’s naturally aspirated 4.0-liter V8 with a smaller displacement six-cylinder engine employing two or maybe even three turbochargers for 450-horsepower or more.
