Video: BMW M3 GT2 ALMS racecar

July 16th 2008 11:15
BMW M3 GT2 ALMS racecar


The introduction of the current generation E92 V8-powered M3 has given BMW an unrestricted entry ticket to the world of American Le Mans Series (ALMS) motorsport with the Bobby Rahal and David Letterman racing team unveiling a new racecar at the Chicago Auto Show in February this year.

Since then, we have heard very little about the 357 kW (485 hp) 4.0-litre V8 M3 racecar - until now. BMW Motorsport in conjunction with the Rahal Letterman racing team has released a video of the ALMS BMW M3 with some superb footage of the racecar on a track together with a road-going M3.





Looking supremely bad-ass in its aggressive widebody armour, the racecar will be rubbing shoulders fenders with the likes of Porsche and Ferrari in the GT2 series this upcoming season.

2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S


UK motoring journal CAR magazine has test-driven the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S equipped with the company's first production double-clutch transmission - 25 years after its debut on their race cars - and direct injection on the famous flat six engine for the first time in its illustrious history.

Watch the following video to see road test editor Chris Chilton guide you through a test-drive of the facelifted 997 911 coupe and his thoughts on the new PDK transmission which in short, is one of the best dual-clutch transmissions he's ever driven despite the confusing nature of the steering wheel mounted shift buttons.
