BMW M4 Competition Coupe ‘50 Jahre M Edition’ launched in India

It gets cosmetic upgrades comprising M-spec elements both inside and outside of the car

Celebrations galore in the BMW camp as the German car brand commemorates the 50th anniversary of its performance division, called the BMW Motorsport GmbH or more commonly known as BMW M. The last few months saw the brand launch the ’50 Jahre M Edition’ for its 3 series, 5 series and 6 series sedans. And now, the same celebratory treatment gets extended to the brand’s sports coupe – the M4 Competition Coupe.

From the planned ten special ’50 Jahre M Edition’ models announced for the year, the M4 Competition Coupe ’50 Jahre M Edition’ comprises the fourth launch of the lot. BMW claims the Jahre M Edition sports coupe will be sold in limited units, with each unit retailing at INR 1.52 crores.

The wheels are 19/20-inch double-spoke alloys finished in Orbit Grey and Gold Bronze shades. Further customisation can be made by ticking against optional features such as an M Performance steering wheel in carbon fibre or Alcantara and carbon-fibre exhaust accents, among others.

New-Gen Bentley Continental GT Debuts Next Month

It’s been only a few days since Bentley confirmed a few juicy details about what will replace its iconic W12. The Brits have now confirmed the new powertrain’s first project – the fourth-generation Bentley Continental GT. And it isn’t far from shedding its cover, as you can see here. In fact, we’ll get to see it in full next month.

As you’d expect, not much has been unveiled as of now. But we know the “Ultra Performance Hybrid” powerplant will deliver a whopping 782ps of power and a mammoth peak torque of 1,000Nm. Courtesy of the electric motor and a battery to back it up, the new-gen Continental GT will also be capable of travelling 80km with zero local emissions. Another astonishing figure for the brand is a WLTP-certified CO2 figure of less than 50 g/km.

Backing up the new powertrain and its massive power reserves will be an active all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring, four-wheel steering, an electronic limited-slip differential, 48V electric active anti-roll control and new dual-valve dampers. Of course, new design and a variety of modern-day creature comforts will also play their part. Put all those facts together, and the takeaway is this: the new-gen Bentley Continental GT will be the most powerful, dynamically capable and sustainable luxury grand tourer in the company’s history.

Exciting times ahead!
