VIDEO: M3 GTS ON TRACK

BMW has released a new video showing the lightweight M3 GTS in action.

The hardcore M3 GTS, whose body mods have apparently been inspired by the 320si WTCC car, was announced last week but with limited detail and only a short 'teaser' video in which to glimpse its be-spoilered and very-orange form.

Happily, this latest slick reel is a longer 2-part edit, showing more detailed close-ups and footage of the car in action on track. The first part is even set to a Yazoo-esque synth pop soundtrack - what more could you ask for on a grey Monday?

According to BMW, part of the GTS's raison d'être is to beat the M3 CSL's best time at the Nürburgring. We feel another video coming on...
