Hottest 50 Cars, Trucks, and SUVs for 2006
More than 15 years since the last M6 was sold in America, the new performance coupe will return to our roads. The BMW 6 Series coupe is built off a shortened 5 Series platform. So when BMW developed the outrageous 5.0-liter V-10 engine and seven-speed SMG sequential shift transmission for the new high-performance M5 sedan, an M6 coupe was a logical addition to the BMW performance range. The all-new M6 features weight-saving technologies such as a carbon-fiber roof and 19-inch forged aluminum wheels that are almost four pounds lighter than regular cast wheels. With 500 horsepower available, BMW claims the M6 will hit 60 mph in under 4.6 seconds, and it will run to 205mph without the traditional 155-mph speed limiter. The suspension, though similar to that of the M5, is specially tuned to take advantage of the M6's shorter wheelbase and lower center of gravity. Massive cross-drilled brakes enable the M6 to pull up from 60 mph in less than 118 feet.
