BMW M4 GT3 EVO at the Nürburgring: BMW M Motorsport Enhances a Successful Model

02 Jun 2024
  • What are the key features of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO?

BMW M Motorsport has unveiled the EVO version of their flagship GT racing model, the BMW M4 GT3. Presented on Wednesday evening before the 24 Hours at the Nürburgring in the M Showroom at the ring°boulevard, this upgraded model marks another leap in performance and efficiency. The BMW M4 GT3 EVO will debut in races from the 2025 season. Alongside it, the BMW M4 GT4 will also feature an EVO version starting next season. The development of the BMW M4 GT3 EVO has been a highly collaborative process. BMW M Motorsport engineers prioritized intensive dialogue with teams and drivers to ensure the enhancements align with the real-world demands of GT racing. Understanding the specific needs of customers was crucial in tailoring the car for optimal performance, drivability, efficiency, and reliability, rather than focusing solely on raw power.

Testing of the new model was conducted by BMW M works drivers Jens Klingmann (GER), Bruno Spengler (CAN), and Augusto Farfus (BRA). This hands-on feedback loop helped refine the EVO version to meet and exceed the expectations of professional racers.

Exterior and Aerodynamics

Visually, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO showcases several modifications aimed at improving aerodynamic efficiency. Notably, the car now features a significantly lighter cathodic dip coating instead of traditional paint, enhancing both performance and efficiency. Other aerodynamic updates include:

  • Smaller aero mirrors.
  • Larger air outlets on the front wheel arches.
  • An altered adjustment range of the rear wing for better aerodynamic efficiency.

Enhanced Mechanical Components

The EVO version also introduces several mechanical enhancements designed to improve drivability and reduce wear on key components. These include:

  • New anti-roll bars on the front and rear axles.
  • Larger rear brake discs.
  • A finer and easier-to-adjust differential for improved handling and reduced tire and brake wear.

Lighting and Design

The new model features updated headlights at the front and rear, showcasing the LCI (Life Cycle Impulse) design. The "Inception" design theme integrates digitality and dimensionality into a bold, high-contrast mosaic. The iconic M colors—light blue, dark blue, and red—are presented in a three-dimensional, pixel-like sequence, creating an asymmetrical layout. Additionally, the dark areas of the livery allow the authentic carbon fiber construction to show through, reducing weight and enhancing visual appeal.

The BMW M4 GT3 EVO boasts impressive technical specifications designed for top-tier performance:

  • Engine: P58 3.0L straight-six M TwinPower Turbo.
  • Capacity: 2,993 cm³.
  • Output: Up to 590 hp.
  • Transmission: X-Trac 6-speed gearbox.
  • Brakes: 390mm disc & 6-piston calipers at the front; 380mm disc & 4-piston calipers at the rear.
  • Clutch: Electro-hydraulic.

The BMW M4 GT3 EVO represents a significant step forward for BMW M Motorsport, incorporating valuable feedback from drivers and teams to enhance drivability, efficiency, and reliability. As it prepares to hit the tracks in the 2025 season, this model exemplifies BMW's commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in GT racing. With its advanced features and collaborative development process, the BMW M4 GT3 EVO is poised to set new standards in the world of motorsport.
