Weight is crucial for all vehicles, and the idea is to lose as much of it as possible, without compromising anything. I mean check out what this little electric rocket can do with 135 hp…
It’s therefore with great anticipation that we look at the prospect of a lighter version of the all-new upcoming BMW M4, with even more power and three additional letters – it could be GTS, but this wasn’t confirmed by Car Sales and its sources. What they did say is it will be closer in philosophy to the M3 GTS, rather than the E46 CSL, and that in manual guise, its weight would drop to under 1,400 kg (3,086 lbs).
This would be achieved by replacing some panels with ones made out of carbon fiber or aluminum. The M4 already has a carbon roof and boot lid, but it is stated that BMW wants to extend use of the material to the front wings and hood. Additionally, it would also receive aluminum doors instead of steel units, and a stripped out interior devoid of a back seat.
It is also speculated that the special model could make its debut in 2016 for BMW centenary celebration, to become one of many probable candles it’s going to light up for itself that year…
