The BMW M6 is a sporty coupe or convertible based on the BMW 5 Series. It is generally agreed that the coupe and convertible are more pleasing to the eye than the 5 and 7 series models, although on closer inspection all of these models have many similar design elements (e.g. rear end). The 6 Series really stands out from its competitors - the car's design is reminiscent of a shark and gives it a sense of strength and respect. The M6 differs from the rest of the BMW 6 Series by deeper air vents, more aerodynamic side mirrors, a rear diffuser and the fact that it does not have front fog lamps. The car weighs 1710 kg thanks to its carbon fiber roof, plastic front fenders, aluminum doors, bonnet and boot lid. Carbon fiber and other lightweight materials are used in these locations to reduce weight, center of gravity height, moment of inertia and this has a strong impact on the car’s handling characteristics. The M6 model has an atmospheric 5.0 L V10 engine with a red speed line at 8250 rpm, maximum power of 507 hp (373 kW) / 7750 rpm and 521 Nm / 6100 rpm of torque. The car has a reinforced aluminum chassis and a 7-speed SMG III manual transmission, which, while extremely responsive on the ring road, is a bit rough for everyday use. Like the M5, the M6 features an F1-inspired engine, transmission control, starting and dynamic stability control systems, and a gearbox that can be automatic or human-operated. The manual transmission can be operated either with a gear lever mounted in a standard position or controlled by levers behind the steering wheel. The car also has a power boost button on the steering wheel that activates one of three modes: P400 (limiting the engine to 400 hp - suitable for everyday driving), P500 (giving a full 507 hp), and P500 S (full power and even sharper response) to press the accelerator). The data of this beast - acceleration 0-100 km / h in 4.6 s, maximum speed without electronic speed limiter 330 km / h.
