BMW, please take my money and give me this. Don't tone down anything except race exhaust. CF roof and laser lights please.

Love the aggressive front intakes, lip and rear wing.

One heck of a car! Want this! Want this!

Any chance for some carbon fibre on the m2?
I would hope so especially since they're ramping up CF production because of high demand. This has to be lighter than the M235i.

Was thinking the same thing. Not a fan of the 2 but as an ex-e89 owner, the new Z would look amazing with this type of styling!

Damn that looks good in black. I hope the M2 looks like that and BMW learns from the issues the M4 has and makes the M2 better. That's a badass looking car.

Vision GT previews M4 CSL rather than M2?

BUT in the german M Forum are strange rumors that M3 GTS and/or M4 GTS versions are allready in the works/development !?

The side profile reminds me of a Porsche with a BMW twist, which is a good thing

IMO, it seems to me the BMW vision GT concept is based more on the 2 series rather than the M4...

Agreed, it was on the front page yesterday and if you click on the link it goes to the 2addicts portion of this forum. It's really teasing the M2, you can tell just by looking at the headlights and grill.

I haven't played GT6 for awhile, but hopped on when I saw the trailer for this car. The car looks amazing, so much so that I bought it twice in the game. One in white with the stripes, the other in black. Now time to see how this baby handles on the 'Ring!

I just saw that inside the Welt you can also play GT6(for the next two weeks) at the ///M display area.

Words cannot express how fantastic this car looks. Looks like a classic...I'll just leave it at that.

I just gave this car a try, and unfortunately I don't like it. I consider myself a decent driver in Gran Turismo, and I know the Nurburgring like the back of my hand. I've done thousands of laps on the track in racing games (and 3 in real life, lol). However I cannot, for the life of me, get this car around that track cleanly. It's so figgity, and if you go anywhere remotely close to a curb or if you run over a single blade of grass, you'll lose the rear end. I mean, the car is planted if you're in the middle of the race track. But go near the edges, and I don't mean off the track, I mean dip the outer most edge of your rear tire onto the very edge of the striped curb, and the car loses all grip and handling. God help you if you actually hit an apex the right way.

Not to mention, there is no interior which is disappointing but not surprising coming from Polyphony Digital. What else isn't surprising is that the car sounds like a vacuum cleaner. PD was never good at their car audio. They are really gonna have to step up their game if they're going to compete with the Forza franchise on the next-gen consoles.

I dunno, I love the look of it. But I just wish it handled better.

A modern version of the CSL batmobile was the first thing I thought of when I saw this virtual concept.

I found the handling to be a little squirrelly as well. Hopefully a little suspension tuning can fix it.
