We here at zerotohundred.com are huge fans of the M3 CSL, having great moments of everything with our E46 M3 CSL and trust us, very few cars come close to it in terms of raw speed, brutality, driving dynamics and all out character. So its with great expectations and excitement we announce to you that this is how the next generation M3 CSL may look like.
Nearly a year ago, BMW M Divisions Vice President Gerhard Richter confirmed that BMW is interested in building a successor to the highly acclaimed, lightweight, E46 M3 CSL, and now, the first hint emerges thanks to German automotive magazine, Autozeitung.
With a revised front bumper, carbon fiber hood and rear air intakes as well as plenty of other go fast gadgets, the E92 CSL is expected to completely blow away the legendary E46 CSL, which by the way just happens to be quicker than the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale around the Nurburgring, so those are some big shoes to fill. But judging from the direction BMW is heading with their motorsport divison and impressive results in F1, the E92 CSL is expected to be nothing less than mind blowing, it is powered by a 4.2 liter V8 engine so it won’t be too difficult to make it quick, but since its a CSL, it’s the entire package that matters, not just speed.
