BMW will replace their current M3 DTM race car with a M4-based vehicle for next year’s German Touring Car Masters championship, the Munich-based automaker announced today.
Actual details have yet to be revealed, but BMW Motorsport director Jens Maquardt was very enthusiastic about the 2014 M4 DTM racer, adding that the vehicle will look as stunning as the M4 Coupe concept.
“We are all really looking forward to the new BMW M4 DTM. The BMW Concept M4 Coupe certainly looks fantastic. So will our DTM car for next season – I can already promise all the fans that much. The BMW M3 DTM won the title at the first attempt in 2012. We obviously want to follow on from this success with its successor. However, it will still be quite a while until we get to see our new DTM racing car for the first time,” he said.
Four DTM teams are using BMW M3 race cars this season, with the automaker leading the manufacturers’ championship after seven rounds (with three more to go).
