Only 67 cars have ever been made.
You could purchase a new McLaren, add a few options, or take home the rare BMW M3 model for $299,950 Carbon Racing Technology (CRT), which was introduced in 2011, was essentially a sedan version the M3 GTS Coupe. It also saw the introduction carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) technology a few years before the i3/i8 duo. It was actually introduced at the same time BMW presented the electrified vehicles in concepts.
Only 67 units were made. Although none were sold in the United States, it is one of two that was. The M3 CRT is unregistered, with only 237 miles (382 km) on its odometer. It has been federalized for Show or Demonstration use. You can drive it on public roads, provided you don’t exceed 2,500 mi (4,023 km) annually.
The special edition was lighter than the from those days thanks to the use CFRP. It weighed in at 154 pounds (70 kg) less than the . A 4.4-liter V8 engine with 450 horsepower (331, kilowatts), at 8,300 rpm, and 324 poundfeet (444 Newton-meters), of torque from 3,750 to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.
This hardware arrangement allows the BMW M3 CRT to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds from a standstill and then top out at 180 mph (295 kph), although electronically it is limited to a mere 180 mph (329 kph).
This car was also painted in Frozen Polar Silver, with Melbourne Red accents. It also has a different kidney grille. The car sits on lightweight 19-inch alloy wheels in black and has a variety of modifications inside to make it stand out from the E90’s regular M3.
We think the asking price of $300k is too high for the car, however it may be very desirable.
