BMW Z4 GT3 '11

The BMW Z4 GT3 '11 is a race car produced by BMW. It appears in Gran Turismo 6, Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7.
==In-game description==
"Attained 2nd overall in the Nürburgring and Spa Francorchamps 24-hour races. The role model of race cars that has fought and survived the toughest battles."
From the very first E85/E86 model BMW Z4s, FIA-GT regulation racing machines developed by BMW motorsports were made available, and private racers all over the world have participated in GT races with these cars.
The 2nd generation, E89-based GT3 machines started racing in 2010. The production Z4 which debuted in 2009 were no longer available in either a roadster or a coupé, and only sold in a cabriolet. Correspondingly for the GT3 machine the roof was fixed in place while omitting the opening and closing mechanism. It was given a large front spoiler and rear wing, and widened front and rear fenders. The bonnet, roof, front and rear fenders and the wing wereIncorrectly singularized as "was" in Gran Turismo 6 made of CFRP, which succeeded in making the car 300 kg lighter at 1,200 kg.
The engine was changed from a straight-6 to the 4 L V8 of the E92 M3, and with a tuned ECU it produced 473 BHP. It was then combined with a 6-speed sequential transmission, given a competition ABS, and the front axle was newly designed. Even within the existing design, the car underwent a fairly aggressive development process.
In the 2011 model there was another major revolution. The fenders were widened further, and the overall body was given more details for improving aerodynamics. At the same time the engine displacement was increased to 4.4 L, and the car produced 507 BHP. The 6-speed sequential transmission has also been updated to a paddle shifter.
This 2011 model Z4 GT3 won 2 races in the FIA-GT3 championships of the same year, and in the two 24-hour races of Nürburgring and Spa, placed 2nd overall in both races. It showed superb performance in races with high levels of competition.

One thing that racing enthusiasts love about BMW... Is their long-standing commitment to developing customer racing cars like this one here. When a new production car is released, a race-ready model can be expected to follow soon after. This Z4 GT3 made its biggest impression... At endurance races like the Nürburgring 24 Hours... Where it was driven by BMW works drivers Bruno Spengler and Timo Glock. Part of what makes BMW so cool is that they can be assertive without coming off as conceited. They exude that sort of confidence that just lets the facts speak for themselves.

==Trivia==
*In GT6, a special Seasonal Event for the car was held in February 2014 for Asian players; participation in the event gives the BMW M4 Coupé Frozen Black Metallic, with seven players winning a trip to a Super GT race at Fuji Speedway in May 2014, to decide a grand champion in a live time-trial event; the winner of the live time trial would win a trip the BMW M Power Experience 2014 event in Istanbul, Turkey.
*In GT6, there is an entry for the BMW GSR Hatsune Miku BMW '12 (with the internal name of gsr_hatsunemiku_bmw_12) in the game's database, which is based on this car, but the car was cut from the game before release, presumably due to licensing issues pertaining to the Hatsune Miku character likeness.Gran Turismo 6/Cars on The Cutting Room Floor Had it been added, it would be the first GT3-based GT300 car in the series, before the addition of the Anest Iwata livery for the Lexus RC F GT3 '17 in GT7 version 1.35.
*Applying the default racing number box in the Livery Editor will result in the default number box appearing with the background of the car's current paint color (or decals, if there are any applied over it). This also occurs with the Ford GT LM Spec II Test Car.
