BMW has taken a significant step forward in the world of GT racing with the unveiling of the M4 GT3 EVO, set to make its debut in 2025. This evolution of the M4 GT3 represents a commitment to performance, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Developed with input from factory drivers such as Augusto Farfus, Jens Klingmann, and Bruno Spengler, the EVO-spec car focuses on drivability and efficiency rather than just raw performance gains.
The M4 GT3 EVO distinguishes itself with a host of visual and technical enhancements. Smaller wing mirrors and larger air outlets on the front wheel arches have been introduced for improved aerodynamics. The rear wing’s adjustment range has been expanded, offering better aerodynamic efficiency. The car’s aesthetics are further refined with updated head- and taillights.
Under the hood, the M4 GT3 EVO is equipped with new anti-roll bars on both axles, larger rear brake discs, and a more finely adjustable differential. These upgrades aim to reduce tire and brake wear, ensuring consistent performance over longer periods. The car’s net price is set at €578,000 (approximately $628,655 USD), reflecting the advanced engineering and comprehensive enhancements that have gone into its development.
BMW M Motorsport’s Head of Customer Racing, Bjorn Lellmann, emphasized the importance of customer feedback in the development process. The result is a car that allows drivers to consistently push the limits without undue risk, catering to the needs of racers across various skill levels.
In addition to the M4 GT3 EVO, BMW has also announced the M4 GT4 EVO, which will be available to customers from 2025. The current M4 GT4 has already proven its mettle, with Turner Motorsport clinching the GS title in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in its debut season. Other notable achievements include championships in the GT4 European Series and Pirelli GT4 America.
The M4 GT4 EVO will be showcased alongside the M4 GT3 EVO at the ring°boulevard during the N24 weekend. While details on the updated GT4 car are yet to be revealed, its presence indicates BMW’s ongoing commitment to providing competitive and cutting- edge vehicles for the racing community.
This strategic move by BMW not only strengthens its position in the GT racing segment but also showcases its dedication to innovation and customer-centric development. With the M4 GT3 EVO and the upcoming M4 GT4 EVO, BMW is poised to continue its legacy of success on the racetrack, offering drivers the tools they need to achieve victory. The anticipation for these vehicles is high, and the racing world eagerly awaits their arrival on the circuit.
