BMW has finally revealed the brand new M6, in both coupe and convertible forms. As was previously expected, both of them are powered by a 4.4-liter V8 engine that makes the same 560 hp as in the M5. Peak torque is also the same as in the M5, a meaty 680Nm (502lb-ft) between 1,500 and 5,750 rpm.
All the power is channeled to the rear via the standard 7-speed M-Double Clutch Transmission (M-DCT).
That was all to be expected, but now, here are the numbers you’ve all been waiting for. The standard -100km/h (62mph) sprint takes 4.2 seconds in the M6 Coupe and 4.3 seconds in the Convertible. Top speed is of course limited to just 155 mph (250 km/h), but the cars will do 189mph (305km/h) with the extra M Driver's package.
