The new BMW M4 Coupé DTM Safety Car

In the 2014 DTM season, there are going to be BMWs all around. BMW Motorsport will not only field eight BMW M4 DTMs in the 2014 DTM season, but there will be a new lead car, based on the production model of the BMW M4. According to a company statement, the BMW M4 Coupé DTM Safety Car will lead the 23 DTM racing cars around the circuits on the race calendar safely and with great aplomb.

The new BMW M4 Coupé (combined fuel consumption: 8.8-8.3 l/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 204–194 g/km) will make its debut as a safety car at the race at the Nürburgring (DE) on August 17, 2014. The BMW M4 Coupé combines motorsport genes and road capability. The completely new, 431-hp six-cylinder inline engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology and high-rev characteristics generates a maximum torque of 550Nm over a wide range of speeds. This allows the BMW M4 Coupé to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds.
