BMW revealed the new M3 DTM Concept Car. The first time sight of the car is really awesome, you will get only 500bhp racer that will be competing in the 2012 DTM (German Touring Car) series. It looks a bit scary but of course attractive.

The M3 DTM gets a perfunctory glance over its bulbous wheel arches, gossamer-thin ground clearance and swoopy carbon stuff should tell you that it’s not really anything like your garden-variety E92 M3.

The body of the coupe is a carbonfibre-reinforced plastic monocoque with an all-steel roll cage. It length is around 160mm than a road car and those bloated haunches boost girth from 1804mm to 1950mm. however its length will depend upon its setup, it sits just 1200mm tall which is 224 mm shorter than the street car.

It is powered with 4.0 litre 480bhp V8 engine with six-speed sequential ‘Box’. It can reach 62mph in just 3 sec around and has 186mph top speed. I know you are being much excited but it is a mere concept designed to offer as BMW puts it ‘an initial impression’ of what the M3 DTM’s going to look like.

Also the company unveiled some actual this is going to happen stuff. And announced to be three M3 racing in the next year’s DTM series: BMW Team Schnitzer, BMW Team RBM and BMW Team RMG.

The first two that have been announced are ex-WTCC champion Andy Priaulx and Brazilian BMW GT veteran, Augusto Farfus.
