A group of 200 lucky buyers will get their hands on the new BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition developed by the German automaker in collaboration with Skip Barber, owner of the Lime Rock Park race track in Connecticut.
''It's a classic car for a classic track,'' Barber claims.
Under the hood is the same 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 engine that allows 0-100km/h accelerations in 4.8 seconds. However, the car sports a bright Fire Orange paint, Anthracite and Black cloth seating with Nappa leather trim, and a new flat-bottom steering wheel in Anthracite Alcantara.
The M3's signature carbon fibre composite roof will be retained on all copies produced. Each one will be identified by a numbered plaque on the centre console, a unique decal on the left-rear quarter window, and a certificate of authenticity.
Priced at US$70,995, the BMW M3 Coupe Lime Rock Park Edition is scheduled to arrive at dealerships this September.
