BMW has the advanced technology to improve engine performance and efficiency using water injection technology. After the M4 GTS concept water injection technology at the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, BMW is now introducing a production version.
BMW M4 GTS is essentially a specialized version of the M4 coupe race track. Like the concept, the M4 GTS has a new water injection system and the first for the series production cars.
Water injection system injects fine spray into the intake system, thereby reducing engine air temperature.
As a result, power from the turbocharged six-cylinder inline engines increased 16 percent to 500 horsepower and torque increased by 10 percent to 442 lb-ft.
Although the increased power and torque, however fuel consumption remains the same as with M4 standard. According to BMW, M4 GTS accelerates from 0-96 km / h in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 189.5 miles per hour or 304.9 km / h.
While some competitors may have more oomph under the hood, like Mercedes-AMG's C63 S Coupe that boasts 503hp (510PS) from its bi-turbo V8, BMW focused on the power-to-weight ratio making the GTS 80kg or 176 pounds lighter than the standard M4 through a series of measures. These include the removal of the rear seats, the use of aluminum for the control arms, wheel carriers and axle subframes, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) for the hood (in addition to the roof) and the front and rear spoilers, Carbon Ceramic brakes and a titanium exhaust system, The car's performance is also increasingly fierce due to the lighter weight.
BMW M4 GTS water injection technology is equipped with a sport suspension that can be adjusted manually as well as carbon brake discs. Seven-speed dual clutch transmission be channeling the engine power to the wheels. Four colors will be available for the exterior, including Sapphire Black metallic, Mineral Grey metallic, Alpine White and Frozen Dark Grey Metallic paint finish.
This car will be a limited edition. BMW M4 GTS only produce 700 units and 300 for the US market, price unknown.
