最近谍照记者拍到了宝马M4GTS照片。这款车只限量生产700辆，这款赛道版M4采用突出的前分流器，鸭翼，前轮拱上部以及前翼子板处设有大尺寸的导风口，底盘扩散器自A柱位置一直延伸至车尾，以增强新车高速行驶时的下压力。尾部，新车配备了可调式碳纤维后扰流尾翼，后下碳纤维气流流散器以及Ｍ-Power钛合金排气系统。标准版车型功率368千瓦/500马力，扭矩600牛米，车重将控制在1510公斤。目前还不清楚该车是否会被冠名为“CSL”，这是“轿跑车、运动和轻量化”（Coupe,Sport,Lightweight）三个英文单词的缩写。预计车辆百公里加速时间不到3.8秒，最高时速305公里。

 

BMW M4 GTS Spied Testing With Extreme Aero Kit

Guess who’s back? That’s right, the BMW M4 GTS is all set to return if these hot spy shots are any indication. Limited to only 700 cars, the most track-focused M4 of them all is likely getting a part deux, but it won’t be more of the same as it looks like some significant upgrades are in tow for the hardcore coupe.

 

BMW is dialing the aero package up a notch taking into account this prototype has a prominent front splitter, canards, beefier side skirts, and a reworked rear diffuser. That’s not all as the test vehicle is fitted with vented front fenders with massive air outlets behind the front wheels where it looks as if something is missing from the body. One would be tempted to say the prototype BMW is evaluating serves as a first sign of the long-awaited return of the CSL badge, which has been confirmed to make a comeback as a replacement for the GTS. That being said, it’s too early to know for sure as the M4 seen here could be called something else. Regardless of its moniker, it’s pretty obvious the Bavarians are working on a hardcore version as a last hurrah for the current-generation M4.

 

We won’t be too surprised if the model in question will pack more punch than the M4 GTS, a special edition that ushered in BMW’s water injection system set to return in 2019. As a refresher, the “regular” M4 GTS offered 500 horsepower (368 kilowatts) and 442 pound-feet (600 Newton-meters) of torque and tipped the scales at 1,510 kilograms (3,329 pounds). Should the new version actually receive the CLS badge, it would have to be lighter than the GTS to live up to the “Coupe, Sport, Lightweight” name.

 

Assuming it will have more power in a lighter package, the meaner BMW M4 will run to 62 mph (100 kph) quicker than the 3.8 seconds needed by the M4 GTS. The latter had an electronically governed top speed of 189.5 mph (305 kph), but it doesn’t necessarily mean a possible CSL will top that.

 

It remains a mystery at this point when BMW will introduce the more focused M4, although we will likely get to see it before the end of the decade.
