BMW Motorsport Z4 GT3 – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nLate last year we told you that BMW<\/a> would be creating a race-ready Z4 GT3<\/a> for customers who participate in motorsports, and we now have official images of the too-hot Z4 in all of its glory. We’ve always liked the styling of the Z4-based coupes, and this GT3 spec is certainly a looker.<\/p>\n

BMW has shoehorned the M3’s 4.0-liter V8 under the hood of the Z4 GT3, and when managed by a Type-408 ECU and Power400 control unit, the high-revving V8 cranks out a whopping 480 horsepower, and a six-speed sequential gearbox sends all of that power to the rear wheels. ABS and central-locking wheels are standard, and for consumers who want an extra touch of civilization, air conditioning is optional.<\/p>\n

BMW will be offering the Z4 GT3 to consumers in the second half of this year, with an estimated price of around 298,000 Euro (that’s over $405,000 based on current exchange rates). Hit the jump for the official words from BMW Motorsport.<\/p>\n
