The BMW 1-Series M Coupe has been selected as the authorized pace or safety car of the 2011 MotoGP season.

The security car is a unique prototype by BMW’s M section which participates in little with the fabrication prototype apart from the drivetrain. That would be the 250 kW or 340 PS / 334 bhp twin-turbo in order 3.0 liter six-cylinder.

Alterations on this unique pace car include the usage of carbon-fiber elements, suchlike for the new hood with big air intakes, and polycarbonate side and back windows. There is also a facade proscenium with air initiation, a frontage splitter, a freebooter lip on the boot and an adaptable rear wing for extra downforce. A titanium drain furnished by Akropovic delivers the suitable roar to stir the crowds. All that aids in cutting down the weight on the 1-Series M Coupe for this special deputation.

On the interior, the M division corresponds the safety car with a roll cage, naturally, speeding bucket seats, an Alcantara M steering wheel, and a 6-point race strap up for the driver and pilot. The back seats are also disconnected.
