These are some of the clearest spy shots of BMW’s next M-branded model, the M6 Coupe, which will take its place as the flagship version of the new F13 6-Series.
The recent unveiling of the new M5 sports saloon gives us an idea of what to expect in terms of performance as the M6 will be powered by the same twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine.
The force-fed V8 brings an end to a line of naturally aspirated engines for the M6 that started with the iconic straight six of the first generation and continued with the V10 of the outgoing model.
Output numbers expected to remain the same with the 4.4-liter V8 lump delivering 560-horses between 6,000 to 7,000rpm and a peak torque of 680Nm (502 lb-ft) from 1,500 rpm.
Power will be sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed M Double Clutch Transmission Drivelogic and an electronically controlled multi-plate limited-slip differential, with the availability of a traditional six-speed manual gearbox being a possibility for the U.S.

Other touches include the larger alloy wheels that cover the massive brake discs. It remains to be seen if there’s a carbon fiber roof hiding under the camouflage.Source http://carscoop.blogspot.com/
