Remember the BMW M3 GTR from Need for Speed Most Wanted? Well, Electronic Arts has built a real-life version of the race car using the #42 ALMS-winning BMW E46 M3 GTR that was actually raced by Jörg Müller and J.J. Lehto in 2001
Power comes from a 4.0L V8 engine that makes 444 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, enabling it to hit a top speed of 183 mph. Want to see it in person? Stop by the BMW Welt museum in Munich, Germany, where the M3 GTR will remain on display until early January 2025.
