Car of the Day - BMW Z4 GT3

BMW Motorsport has announced a GT3 spec Z4 customer race car for the well-heeled gentleman racer as well as the smaller professional outfits.

The Z4 GT3 gets the M3’s 4.0 litre V8 fitted with a Type-408 ECU and Power400 control unit and is good for an impressive 480 hp. The high revving V8 is coupled to a 6 speed sequential transmission. The Z4 GT3 is designed to comply with GT3 regulations required by races such as the FIA GT3 European Championship, International GT Open, ADAC GT Masters and major 24-hour endurance races. Besides the obvious changes required for these events the Z4 also gets rims with locking and safety clips, as well as racing ABS and optional air conditioning.

The Z4 in GT3 guise is stunning - I wonder what it would take to get one road registered..... At 298k Euro it is a question only for those with very deep pockets.
