2015 BMW Concept M4 GTS

BMW is showing a concept version of the first special edition M4 coupe that will be sold in the United States. The Concept M4 GTS debuts this week at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. A production version of the car will be unveiled later this year, but not at the Frankfurt auto show in September, said a BMW spokesman. Pricing, how many will be made and other details will be released closer to the production car’s debut, he said. The Concept M4 GTS is also “racetrack ready,” the spokesman said.

The concept showcases new technologies that will appear on production vehicles later this year, including a water injection system andorganic light-emitting diode (OLED) taillights. BMW has produced several editions of the M3 -- the sedan that shares technologies and architecture with the two-door M4 -- but never homologated them for U.S. sales. BMW also is showing the 3.0 CSL Hommage R in honor of its 40th anniversary in North America. The show car, which won’t be produced, celebrates “the heady racing success of the BMW 3.0 CSL in 1975,” BMW said.
