The M division is responsible for creating high-performance versions of regular BMWs, including the iconic 3 Series-based M3, though the new GT – called CS internally - will be the first non-M-badged car produced by the subsidiary The four-seater GT will be a large car at more than five metres long and is expected to be based on the underpinnings of the new 7 Series that goes on sale later this year.
M division’s involvement suggests the CS, however, is likely to have a significantly sportier chassis to ensure the handling is at least a match for the likes of the aforementioned Panamera. Willisch admits the CS “will need to be top notch”.
Aluminium and carbonfibre are likely to be used for the CS’s structure and body panels to reduce weight for increased performance.
A 6.0-litre V12 formed by adding two cylinders to the M5’s V10 is rumoured to be one of the CS’s engine options, though a smaller, twin-turbocharged engine could also be in the running.
Willisch has revealed that his M division is set to introduce turbocharged and downsized engines on future M cars. The next-generation M5 due about the same time as the CS is rumoured to be switching from its naturally aspirated V10 to a twin-turbocharged V8
