First E89 Z4 GT3 Spotted!
At the recent FIA Balance of performance tests at Paul Ricard the latest GT3 Challenger broke cover.
The all new BMW Z4 GT3 ran for the 1sttime in public, all thought not much is known about the car it is know that it shares the same 4ltr V8 thats in the current M3 GT2 car so we can expect around 550hp in GT3 form. The car also appeared on Dunlop tyres the only GT3 car to do so, have to assume this is due to the tie up BMW has with Dunlop for its GT2 car.
Its not known of any confirmed buyers for the car or any confirmed races in which it will compete but the car is legal to run in any GT3 series, the international GT open and 24hrs at the Nurbergring.
I suspect a part season in FIA GT3 and the Ring 24hrs as deliveries are stated to start 2nd quarter of this year and probable outings in the German ADAC masters championship. One thing for sure all eyes will be on this car.
