The original, on which the model car is based, is the BMW M3 Coupe GTS (E92). This generation of the BMW M3 was built from 2007 to 2013. The E92, the sporty high-performance model, is one of the masterpieces of BMW M GmbH and represents a milestone in the history of the M series. The M3 GTS is the hardcore version of the regular M3 and was primarily optimized for track use. It comes with an impressive 4.4-liter V8 engine producing 450 horsepower. Engineers Thomas Schemera and Friedrich Nitschke played a significant role in the development of this model, reflecting its extraordinary performance.

The BMW M3 Coupe GTS (E92) offers some technical highlights and innovations. Its high-performance V8 engine achieves an impressive 450 horsepower at 8,300 rpm with dry sump lubrication and modified oil supply. The car can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.4 seconds and reaches an electronically limited top speed of 305 km/h (190 mph). Other technical features include a specially tuned suspension, an adjustable rear wing, and weight reduction through extensive use of carbon. With a curb weight of only 1,530 kg (3,373 pounds), the GTS is not only extremely powerful but also extremely lightweight. Optically, the eye-catching black wheels, most likely from BMW Motorsport, are another indication of its sporty orientation.
