BMW M6 convertible at British Motor Show

21 June 2006

BMW will unveil this awesome new M6 Convertible at the British Motor Show in July, with sales starting this September.

Powered by the same 500bhp 5.0-litre V10 as the M6 Coupe and M5 saloon, the new drop-top would be capable of nearly 200mph if BMW hadn't limited its maximum speed to 155mph.

Still, progress from 0-62mph should provide enough thrills, with the M6 Convertible clocking a time of just 4.8sec - 0.2sec behind the coupe.

Like the coupe and M5, the convertible uses the seven-speed SMG automatic gearbox with a range of settings from super-fast to lightning-fast. It has carbonfibre reinforced front and rear bumpers and a rear bootlid made from a special lightweight compound.

Prices for the M6 Convertible are yet to be announced, but considering the coupe costs £81,760, you can bet it isn't going to be cheap.
