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.
