What do you chaps think?

Imagine it will piss-off a few GTS owners??

Is this merely a DTM homologation exercise?

PP.:smokin:

No homologation reason. DTM cars are coupe and prototype regs so no homologation other than basic shape and engine.

Like GTS, the CRT is a very expensive, limited run toy. Nice no doubt but totally over priced. Although the GTS did homologate the 4.4 capacity for GT racing.

Saw one at Nurburg24H this year. Think they are aimed at customers wanting a lighter version of the M3 without being as hardcore as the GTS but having same engine, chassis & gearbox as GTS but offering 4 doors.

Not keen on the BlingBling Red interior. Love the seats - made from CFRP (same as bonnet) they are light but would prefer in Black.

Agreed KK. I also really don't like the red highlights all over the exterior. Looks naff.
