BMW has delivered the first examples of its Z4 GT3 racer to private teams that will prepare them for use in various national and international championships.
Developed by the Bavarian automaker's Motorsport division, the Z4 GT3 swaps the standard model's straight-six for a 4.0-liter V8 engine with 480HP similar to the unit used in the M3 GT2 racer. The power is transmitted to the rear-wheels through a six-speed, sequential gearbox with "Quick Shift" function.
