Just as the new 2013 M6 Coupe and Convertible models begin to arrive in European and North American (for now only the cabriolet as the coupe will follow later in the summer) dealerships, BMW dropped a fresh gallery of high-resolution images detailing the two models from all sorts of angles both inside and out.
The pride and joy of the third generation F12/F13 6-Series range is offered for the first time in the history of the model with a turbocharged V8 engine, as the first M6 sported a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter inline-six with 282hp (286PS) in EU-spec, and the second iteration a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V10 churning out 500hp (507PS).
The new M6 gets a high-revving 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that’s good for 553hp (560PS) linked to seven-speed M double clutch transmission driving the rear wheels.
BMW quotes a zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint time of 4.2 seconds and to 200km/h (124mph) in 12.6 seconds along with an electronically governed top speed of 250km/h (155mph) or 305km/h (189mph) with the M Driver’s Package for the Coupe.
In the U.S., the M6 Convertible is available now with an MSRP of $113,995. It will be followed later in the summer by the 2013 M6 Coupe priced at $106,995. Both MSRPs include a delivery fee of $895.
