BMW M4 GT4

BMW M Design has released a teaser that hints at the look of the new M4 GT4. Different from its predecessor, based on the G82 generation of the BMW M4, it is a direct successor to the F82 generation of the M4 GT4 model that appeared in 2017.

There is a large spoiler at the back, the wheel arches are more massive, and there are four exhaust pipe ends. The diffuser is more pronounced, the sills have been widened, and the front grille has been redesigned. There is a new front splitter and carbon wings.

The interior is bare and will be equipped with a protective cage, two racing seats and all the necessary safety and prescribed equipment, which is different from the standard M4.

The M4 GT4 will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo engine with power adapted to race cars, different from the 503 hp that the M4 Competition has.

For now, there are no more details about the performance of this model, whose arrival has been announced for next year. The price is not known either, but it is expected to be around $ 210k in the US (€ 170k in Europe).

Porsche 911 GT3 or 911 Carrera

The guys from Carwow compared the Porsche 911 GT3 and the entry-level 911 Carrera in a track battle. It is not a question of which car is faster, but what we get for the price we pay.

On testing, the Porsche 911 Carrera set a lap time of 47: 9, which is not bad for entry-level 911. The Porsche 911 GT3 set a lap time of 46: 1.

The Porsche 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 385 hp (283 kW) and 332 lb-ft (450Nm) of torque. With a weight of 1,505kg it reaches 60 mph in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 182 mph (293 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which enables incredibly swift gear changes without interrupting the flow of power. It is equipped with double wishbone suspension on the front, carbon ceramic brakes, and 19/20 inch wheels with 235 / 40ZR19 (front) and 295 / 35ZR20 (rear) Pirelli tires.

Speaking of price, there is a big difference between these two models. The price of the Porsche 911 Carrera is £ 83,000, while the price of the Porsche 911 GT3 is £ 123,000. Now, what do you get for the extra £ 40,000?

The Porsche 911 GT3 is powered by a 4.0-liter naturally-aspirated flat-six engine with an impressive 510hp (375 kW) and 347 lb-ft (470 Nm) of torque. It is slightly lighter than the 911 Carrera (1,435kg) and reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 197 mph (318 kph). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via manual or automatic seven-speed transmission (PDK). It is equipped with carbon ceramic brakes, and 20-inch wheels on the front and 21-inch wheels on the rear with Michelin PS Cup 2 tires.

Refreshed Alpine A110

Alpine recently announced that in the next few years it will be among the companies whose cars will be powered only by electricity. Obviously, some models will still have to wait, as the company has unveiled a refreshed edition of the lightweight aluminum Alpine A110.

This sports two-seater will be offered in three versions: Alpine A110, A110 GT and A110 S. The base model is powered by a centrally located Renault 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbo petrol engine (Megane RS) with 252 hp (185 kW) and 236 lb-ft (320 Nm) of torque, which is enough to reach 62 mph in 4.5 seconds. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

The A110 S is top of the range, offering an even stiffer chassis and a sporty exhaust system. The weight, depending on the equipment, ranges from 1109 to 1140 kg. It is powered by a 1.8-liter engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. That’s 8 hp and 20 Nm more than the previous model. It reaches 62 mph in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 171 mph (275 kph).

The A110 GT is slightly heavier than the A110 S (20 kg). It is equipped with softer leather-covered seats, and the driver also has a parking assistance system. It is powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 251 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque, and top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 kph).
