BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition Celebrates 2016 Marco Wittman’s DTM Title

To congratulate Marco Wittmann on his 2016 DTM driver’s championship, BMW has unveiled a special edition M4 aptly coined the DTM Champion Edition.

Restricted to just 200 units worldwide, the BMW M4 DTM Champion Edition has been extensively modified over the standard M4. As a matter of fact, the 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder now utilizes the same water-injection system as the M4 GTS.

Consequently, the DTM Champion Edition pumps out 493 hp and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque, figures identical to those of the GTS. Consequently, the special edition will sprint from a standstill to 100 km/h in a mere 3.8 seconds before running into a 305 km/h electronically-limited top speed.

Alongside the engine changes, the car is adorned in a selection of distinctive styling elements. Most notably, all 200 examples will be painted in Alpine White and complete with a livery of BMW M’s three distinctive colors. Additionally, the model adopts some aerodynamic changes including the fitment of canards on the front bumper, a large front splitter, carbon wing mirrors, side skirt attachments, a rear diffuser and a towering rear wing. Unique matte grey wheels come standard as do carbon ceramic brakes.

In the cabin, new M Carbon bucket seats wrapped in alcantara and merino leather have been installed as has an M sports steering wheel, a white rollover bar in place of the rear seats and numerous alcantara touches.

Prices for the M4 DTM Champion Edition start at 148,500 euros ($162,926) in Germany.
