New 2010 BMW Z4 GT3 - six-speed sequential gearbox

These are the first photos of the BMW Z4 GT3. Priced at about 298,000 euros, the car will be available starting the second quarter of the year. The GT3 version of the German roadster will be made available to private teams who will enter the FIA GT3 European Championship, International GT Open and the ADAC GT Masters.

The GT version of the Z4 is equipped with a 4.0l V8 engine found on the M3, which makes it produce 480 bhp. Reining in the power is a six-speed sequential gearbox. Other features include Type-408 racing ECU and a Power400 Control Unit, Racing ABS and air conditioning. Sources say that Schubert Motorsport is the first team to have tested it at the Paul Ricard test track in France. The Z4 GT will make its first entry in the Silverstone FIA GT3 series on May 2. The car can enter a wide array of GT3 championships, but it’s probable that it will be seen more often in the FIA European GT3 championship.
