With exciting races and fantastic duels, MotoGP makes fans’ hearts beat faster. At the BMW M Grand Prix of Styria, the already red-hot atmosphere of MotoGP got even hotter with the presentation of a very special prize. Race winner Miguel Oliveira not only received the usual trophy, but also an exclusive honoury award: a brand new, still camouflaged BMW M4 – because it isn’t due to make its world debut until the autumn. Oliveira will be able to configure the symbolically handed over M automobile himself before it is delivered later this year. Markus Flasch, CEO of BMW M GmbH, delivered the good news: “A fantastic performance saw him outpace the fierce competition in the MotoGP race at the BMW M Grand Prix of Styria. As a long-standing partner of Dorna and title sponsor of the event, we are delighted to honour Miguel with the new BMW M4 as a reward for his victory. But he will have to wait a little while to drive his BMW M4 – the car is so new that it isn’t actually on the market yet. However, we’re confident that he will have a lot of fun with it – as the first test drive shortly after the race has already proved.”

The BMW M Grand Prix of Styria also saw another premiere when BMW M presented the new BMW M8 Gran Coupé MotoGP Safety Car at the Red Bull Ring. 2020 marks the 22nd season that BMW M has been the ‘Official Car of MotoGP’; high-performance automobiles from Munich have been ensuring safety at the pinnacle of motorcycle racing since 1999.

With state-of-the-art technology and M typical performance, the four-door sports car is the ideal vehicle for MotoGP’s adrenaline-charged races. “Our aspiration is to make use of all our expertise, our innovative technologies from motorsport and new ideas to ensure safety in the MotoGP,” emphasised Markus Flasch. “The BMW M8 Gran Coupe MotoGP Safety Car is the latest example of this in the now long series of tried and tested safety cars.

IMPRESSIVE DRIVING PERFORMANCE IN A NEW DESIGN.

Under the bonnet of the new BMW M8 Gran Coupé MotoGP Safety Car, an impressive V8 engine provides 625 hp. This has a tremendous effect on the M car's acceleration, taking it from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. The innovative M xDrive all-wheel drive technology ensures excellent driving dynamics and maximum traction in all situations. A perfect fit for racetrack duty, the innovative features also include the new BMW M Track Mode.

The BMW M8 Gran Coupé MotoGP Safety Car also breaks new ground when it comes to design: the livery is surprisingly asymmetric and features a matt-black section in anti-reflection coating. The deconstructed graphics in typical M colours also catch the eye, symbolising the digital era of motorsport.
