If you are a real Bmw fan then you definitely want to know the date when the 1-Series M Coupe will be launched, right? Well, today we got the answer for you: the new car will make its official debut in January at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show. Still, this is not the only things we found out today. According to Albert Biermann, the development chief of BMW M GmbH, the new car will receive the same 3.0-liter 6-cilinder unit with turbocharger found on the Z435isunveiled back in January at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show.
The engine delivers 340 hp/250 kW at 5900 rpm and 450 Nm/323 lb.-ft of torque at 1500-4500 rpm, and can push the Z4 to 100 km/g (62 mph) in just 4.8 seconds, while the top speed achieved electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h). Expect the same numbers to be found on the 2011 Bmw 1-Series M Coupe.
Regarding its name, 1-Series M Coupe, Biemermann said that the car could not be badged as an M1 because this name refers to an iconic sports car and should be reserved just for this type of vehicles. “Since it is so long ago, why care. Who would be confused? Not us, nor the young customers you want to attract with this new M model, who probably were not even born?” added Mr. Biermann.-.theautochannel.com
