2026 BMW M4 Nurburgring Edition

At this year’s Shanghai Motor Show, BMW presented a special edition of the M4 model, the M4 Nurburgring Edition. This car is dedicated to one of the most famous tracks, the Nurburgring Nordschleife, and only 53 examples will be produced, which will also mark the 53rd anniversary of the BMW M division.

The car is finished in Individual Frozen Deep green, which also refers to the nickname of the Nordschleife – Green Hell, while the contrast is made by the radiator grill with red edges and bronze rims with red brake calipers.

The interior is identical to the standard M4 with some special touches like carbon fiber accents and a “Nurburgring 1/53” plaque on the sill. The sports seats are upholstered in a combination of red and black leather with an embroidered Nurburgring sketch on the headrests, while the steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara.

As for the powertrain, the M4 Nurburgring Edition is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with 530 horsepower, which is identical to the M4 Competition on which this special edition is based. This means it has all-wheel drive and can reach 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds.

It should also be noted that this special edition will only be available to Chinese customers.

Porsche 911 GT3 is 10 seconds faster than Dodge Viper ACR

The Porsche 911 GT3 is the new king of the Nürburgring for cars with a manual transmission. It was 10 seconds faster than the previous fastest car, the Dodge Viper ACR.

The Dodge Viper ACR ruled the Nürburgring for eight years, with a lap time of 7:01.3. However, this lap time was set when the full lap (20 km) was not counted. The previous rules at the Nürburgring did not take into account the main straight to the finish line. On the shortened track, the Porsche 911 GT3, with almost 140 hp less, was 10 seconds faster than the Viper ACR, with a lap time of 6:51.764.

Behind the wheel was driver Jorg Bergmeister, who completed the 20 km course in 6:56.294. That’s impressive considering the new record is faster than the lap time of the previous 911 GT3, which used the PDK transmission.

The car was equipped with the optional Weissach package, which includes a range of ultra-lightweight components and carbon fiber parts, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires.

New regulations for motorcyclists on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the most famous race tracks in the world, but it also gives adrenaline fans the opportunity to test their cars and motorcycles. However, the management has made a new decision that prohibits motorcyclists from using the track for tourist trips, and the decision will come into effect soon.

“The different driving dynamics of two- and four-wheeled vehicles create a risk of misunderstandings, especially when it comes to motorcyclists. In order to make driving safer for everyone, cars and motorcycles will be strictly separated in future. In the meantime, we have changed and expanded our offer for motorcyclists. From now on, the famous tourist drives on the Nordschleife, where anyone with an approved vehicle can take to the track, will be reserved for cars only. Motorcyclists will still be allowed to use the 20.8-kilometer route, but only as part of “sightseeing during professionally organized training sessions,” the statement said.

Motorcyclists will still be able to use the Grand-Prix-Strecke, which is more modern and safer, and special routes will also be organized.
