M3 GTS- The Return of the CSL

I can tell you now this will be a great car becuase a few years ago BMW made the CSL. It was a stripped out M3 to be kind of like a BWM track day car. It was great, they did what Porsche and Ferrari do with their track day cars, shed weight. BMW put the M3 on a major diet. It was so derastic that they made the trunk out of cardboard to save wheight. What you got then was a playboys car to go really fast and corner really well.


Well, looks like BMW has brought back the CSL in the form of the GTS. To start it looks brilliant, the racing wheels look great and that huge wing on the back makes it look like a full on Le Mans racer. The only complaint is that dorky carbon fiber roof. You would sound like such a cock explainign that to your friends.


If I had the money for a track car though, I would rather have one of these. It is a sketch of a DB9 gentlemen's racer and it looks fantastic (like the one James May drove). That bodykit looks like the one on the DBR9 Le Man's racer and you know it means business with a wing like that on the back too.
What I like most about this car though is that it still has those gorgeous DB9 looks and it doesn't look like a boy racer. It looks like a car that means business on the track no clown shoes or flower that shoots water in your face, it is just a serious racer for those that want to chuck it around for a couple of laps.
