When it comes to mixing style, luxury and performance, few cars are in the same category as the BMW M6. With just more than 500 horsepower pumped from the V10 engine residing under the hood, you can imagine the fun and exhilaration this car can offer. All that power is run through a seven-speed SMG (Sequential Manual Gearbox) transmission. The SMG transmission offers the driver two modes of operation and several shift programs in each of those modes. In manual mode, there are six shifting options available to control gear changes. In automatic mode there are five choices. And to make sure the powertrain is most effective, BMW kept weight down through extensive use of Carbon Fiber Composite for the roof and various body panels. Expect a price tag close to $100,000 when this bad boy rolls in from Munich.
