2013 BMW M6 Coupe - First Drive Review - Car and Driver
The third-generation M6 comes equipped with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, packs a twin-turbo V-8, and tips the scales at well over two tons. It’s a luxury-car-sized behemoth, complete with a long list of high-zoot amenities such as electronic soft-close doors. But, hey, at least BMW has fitted a carbon-fiber roof, which undoubtedly shaves off a few pounds. The car looks damn good, though, with nicely chiseled flanks and a contemporary, elegant, and sufficiently aggressive look. You’d order it only if you’re cool with constant requests to rev the engine from drivers in tuned Honda Civics and Hyundai Tiburons. Not that those guys would stand the slightest chance against this 4. 4-liter V-8, which is derived from the powerplant offered in the 650i. In the M6, the nearly square engine gets its own pistons and is modified to turn out 560 horsepower at 6000... The burly V-8 note sounds appropriately sinister from outside the car but is a little too quiet within, as in its near twin, the M5. We’d love to hear more of it, complemented as it is by the moan of the two Honeywell twin-scroll turbochargers... Source: www.caranddriver.com
