rFactor 2 – Introducing The BMW M6 GT3

Yesterday Studio 397 proudly announced that they will soon release the Porsche 911 GT3 R as new content for their rFactor 2 racing simulator. They also hinted that the new Porsche would be joined by some worthy challengers.

Studio 397 kept their word because today they confirmed that the mighty BMW M6 GT3 will be added to the racing simulation as a worthy adversary for the Porsche. For now, enjoy the in-game screenshot. We will keep you posted when more news or media arrives.

BMW M6 GT3

The BMW M6 GT3 racing car was introduced in 2016 and is based on the road-going BMW M6 Coupé. The car competes in both the Sprint and Endurance Cup of the European Blancpain GT Series and proved its worthiness as the winner of the 2018 Edition of the prestigious Spa-Francorchamps 24H race.

The M6 GT3 is powered by a race modified 4.4-liter V8 engine with BMW Motorsport M TwinPower Turbo technology. The engine pumps out a respectable 585 hp to the rear wheels via a transaxle six-speed sequential racing transmission. That is slightly less than the road-going ‘Competition’ branded M6. However, only weighing in at 1,300 kilograms, and fitted with an aero package that is optimized in the BMW wind tunnel, the GT3 is the quickest of the brothers.
