BMW has made an announcement to celebrate the success at the latest Nurburgring 24 hours race with a special edition M3 GTS-R. The official debut is expected to be made in September at the Paris Auto Show.

The R version mainly will focus on reducing weight, compared to a standard M3 GTS. For that BMW will use a carbon fiber hood, roof and trunk panels so that the total weight will go down to 3200 lbs. For engine, BMW plans to obtain more HP from the current V8 and will be matching it to a DCT transmission.

The Stealth Frozen matte black paint job looks a lot better than the standard orange used in the GTS.
