BMW M-badged cars traditionally take their series models and inject outlandish race worthy modifications. but with lower price points, and more practical finishes, these cars are no longer sports editions that are uncomfortable, unfamiliar and unusable for daily consumption. they are frontiers of design and technology that push the limits with unorthodox snug leather wrapped cockpits and surround sound audio systems. BMW is now improving the ‘competition package’ on its BMW M6 models with the main focus on it’s power from the 4.4 liter V8 petrol engine. with added ‘M twinpower turbo’ technology, the M6 now outputs 600 hp — an increase of 40 hp from the previous model — and can now go from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds, and zero to 200 km/h (124 mph) in 11.8 seconds. it is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155 mph) but with the optional ‘M driver’s package’, it can be increased to 305 km/h (189 mph).

the handling has also been adapted to the power with all the springs, dampers and anti roll bars getting firmer tuning. to be able to put down all 600 hp out of tight corners, the differential is accompanied with its own control processing unit to further improve traction. a software update as been incorporated to the drive-by-wire steering ‘servotronic’, and the ‘M dynamic mode’ of the dynamic stability control system priorities on a more active handling. the exterior of the BMW M6 ‘competition package’ has exclusive 20 inch light alloy wheels, and upgraded exhaust system with black chrome twin tailpipes. the 2016 M6 with the ‘competition package’ will be available from july 2015.bmw-2016-m6-designboom-03
