2021 BMW Safety Cars

In response to competition, BMW has introduced three models of safety cars: the M3 Sedan, the M4 Coupe and the M5 CS. All three cars come in different colors: the M3 Competition Sedan in Gray Dark Metallic, the M4 Competition Coupe with a vibrant São Paulo Yellow and the M5 CS in Deep Green Metallic.

These BMW models will be used as safety cars in MotoGP racing. Although all models were developed with sporty performance, it still needed to be made some improvements such as a roof light bar, flashing low-mounted front lights, quick-release hood latches, and emergency power shutoffs to safely transport the cars overseas.

BMW also introduced a safety motorcycle. It is a motorcycle that has a BMW Motorrad, 1000 RR, engine. The motorcycle is white and will be decorated with traditional M colors.

All these BMW models will debut at the MotoGP race Grande Prémio de Portugal Portimão.

BMW M3 and M4 – a new Manhart project

The BMW M3 and M4 are a new Manhart project. These are sports cars that have kept only the front grille compared to the previous model.

Manhart is currently developing new carbon aerodynamic parts such as the hood, front splitter, rear spoiler, and the diffuser.

The standard twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine will produce 600 hp. By installing the MANHART MHtronik Powerbox, engine power is increased to approximately 620 hp and 750 Nm of torque. Cat-back and OPF-back exhaust systems with twin carbon tailpipes are offered.

For better cornering control, there are lowering springs manufactured by H&R. Both models also feature 21-inch Concave One forged wheels, 265 / 30R21tyres on the front and 305 / 25R21 tires on the rear axle. Rims can have a Manhart gold stripe as an option.

All of the above includes Phase 1. Phase 2 is expected at the end of the year, when Manhart will take the M3 and M4 to the next level.
