As expected, mechanically things are identical to the existing M6 models. That means power comes from a 4.4 litre turbocharged V8 engine which sends its 552 bhp (412 kW / 560 PS) to the rear wheels via a seven-speed double clutch transmission. A 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 4.2 seconds and the electronically-limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h) are the same, too.
The M6 is distinguished from regular Gran Coupé versions by its carbon fibre-reinforced roof panel, redesigned front apron with larger air intakes, unique kidney grilles, 20” double-spoke alloy wheels and rear diffuser. On the inside, heated sports seats come upholstered in leather and the standard equipment list includes a rear-view camera, night vision and a head-up display.
Sales of the M6 Gran Coupé are due to start next May. In the UK, it will cost £97,490, which is £3,670 more than the two-door M6 Coupé. But perhaps what’s more telling is that that price tag makes the £73,065 M5 Saloon - which shares exactly the same drivetrain - seem an absolute bargain by comparison.
