The latest brainchild from BMW's performance M Division was developed with the racetrack in mind but will be completely street-legal.
The BMW Concept M4 GTS was unveiled earlier this month at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance.
"While the BMW M4 Coupe embodies the ideal combination of motor sport genes and unrestricted everyday usability, the BMW Concept M4 GTS previews an emotionally powerful and exclusive special model conceived with an eye for trailblazing technology and a keen focus on the race track," BMW M Division president Frank van Meel said in a press release.
"Despite its outstanding track ability, it is still fully road-legal," he added. "This is racing technology for the road in the truest sense."

BMW’s M designation has always been a show-stopper, ever since the first Giugiaro-designed M1 racer made its debut in 1978.
It won't be BMW's first M Series special edition. This M3 Evolution was unveiled in 1988.
The most recent special edition — the M3 CRT — was released in 2011 and clearly still in the German designers' minds as they designed the new M4 GTS.
