2002 BMW M3 GTR Straßenversion
The M3 gets a V8! For a little over $225,000 USD BMW sold a single road-going version of the M3 GTR. During development, BMW designed the Straßenversion as close to the ALMS GTR as possible. Although many details have still not been released, BMW claims a horsepower rating anywhere from 350 to 450 HP. The new 4 litre compact V8 fits well within the E46 engine bay. The powerplant is also pushed very low within the engine bay to offer a low center of gravity.
The use of carbon fibre body sections and lightweight materials keep the GTR in & around 3000lbs. This puts the car almost 500lbs lighter than the standard M3.
A limited run of road going GTR's were planned to be sold around February 2002, but they were never made.
