BMW decided to surprise the brand fans with a special BMW M6 Convertible, a model shown at the Best Qualifier MotoGP. At the exterior, the German open-top model comes with some pretty standard features, namely 20-inch alloy wheels with a multi-spoke design, a Frozen Blue Metallic finish, black front grille and large air intakes.

Enter the cabin and you will find Ash Grain White wood trim, Opal White Merino leather upholstery and other minor tweaks. There are no surprises in the engine department as this BMW M6 packs the stock 4.4-liter V8 producing 560 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque.

Thanks to the impressive output and a special automatic transmission, the 0-100 km/h sprint is done in 4,3 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h.

It is still unclear, at least now, what BMW wanted to tell us with this BMW M6 Convertible, as they shared little to no details in this regard.

“In 2015, the BMW M Award will be presented for the 13th time. Just like the points system for the races, riders at each Grand Prix weekend are awarded points relative to their positions in qualifying, ” adds the company as a conclusion.
