The BMW M3 GTS (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/11/04/bmw-m3-gts-unveiled/) is expected to carry some serious track cred. The extremely limited edition Bimmer (http://autoblog.com/make/bmw/) packs 450 horsepower from a 4.4-liter V8 engine, while weight is cut by 419 lbs compared to a typical M3 (http://www.autoblog.com/model/m3). Sounds like a dream come true. But if you planned on picking up one of the 90 M3 GTS models costing 115,000 Euro ($145,000 in U.S. funds), you're too late. The most capable E92 M3 is already sold out, but you can at least hit the jump to see video of a bright orange GTS as its takes on the famed Nürburgring.
In the BMW-produced video, M3 test engineer Günter Sillinger takes the GTS for a spin around the 'Ring, then tells us just how great the high-strung coupe handles. Sillinger may be biased, but since we may never get behind the wheel of one of the select GTS coupes, we'll have to take his word for it when he says, "It's the most uncompromising, fastest and thrilling M3 ever." Follow the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/13/video-bmw-m3-gts-gets-wrung-out-on-the-ring/#continued) to watch the 2:19 video for yourself.
