2014 BMW M4 Coupe Individual at Goodwood

BMW has shown a special M4 Coupe Individual at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The sports car is built specially for the event and boasts a number of styling upgrades.

The exterior comes in a nice Tanzanite Blue metallic paint, a sports exhaust system and a lot of carbon fiber elements like a new front splitter, a rear diffuser and a rear spoiler. The interior boasts Merino leather seats and an Alcantara-wrapped sports steering wheel featuring a race display showing different information.

2014 BMW M4 Coupe is powered by a 3.0 liter TwinPower Turbo Inline six-cylinder – 431HP (317 kW) at 5,500RPM and 550Nm (406 lb-ft) at 1,850RPM. The engine is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds and a top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph) or an optional 280 km/h (174 mph). The acceleration is even better, when fitted with the optional 7-speed ///M DCT – 4.1 seconds to 100 km/h. The new M3 and M4 are able to cover 100 km with just 8.8 liters (32.1 mpg UK) of fuel in the combined cycle with the manual transmission and 8.3 liter with the DCT.

As we recently learned, the car actually produces a lot more power – around 480HP (353 kW) and 648Nm (480 lb-ft) of torque. Of course, this is only in benefit of owners, but we suspect some tax evasion.
