BMW M3 GT2

Description[]

The BMW M3 GT2 is a grand touring race car developed by BMW M Motorsport and introduced in 2009 for use in endurance racing competition. Powered by a 4.0L P65 racing V8 making 485 horsepower, the car was mainly intended for competition in the American Le Mans Series. The M3 GT2 was most noted for its use with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing from 2009 to 2012 in the American Le Mans Series; in its first two years of competition the car scored a few wins, with things culminating in 2011 when the M3 GT2 picked up the teams' and drivers' championship with the team. M3 GT2s also competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2010 and 2011, run by BMW Motorsport; their first attempt ended without much fanfare but their second attempt ended with a third place in class. The car was retired from competition after 2012, being replaced by the BMW Z4 GTE.

The casting received a retool in 2020, losing its plastic wing and gaining a new simplified interior and a slightly different base.
