A RACE CAR PROTOTYPE UP CLOSE.
For the 2014 DTM season, BMW M took to the starting grid with a car that was set to make history: the BMW M4 DTM, which looked identical to the BMW M4 F82, went on to secure dozens of podium finishes and a victory in the manufacturers’ championship in the years that followed. With Marco Wittmann at the wheel, it even clinched the DTM title twice – in 2014 and 2016. It’s time to take a closer look at the technology behind this racing car, which dates back to a time when the DTM was still using prototype chassis and V8 engines.
