BMW Z4 GT3

The BMW Z4 GT3 is the race car version of the Z4 and was built on BMW's E89 platform. Unlike all other Z4 cars which are powered by six-cylinder engines, the Z4 GT3 is powered by a 4.4L S65B40 V8 engine.

The Z4 GT3 has already won the 2010 24-Hours of Dubai and it came second at the 24-Hours Spa Francorchamps.

Team Need for Speed
The "Team Need for Speed" edition of the BMW Z4 GT3 was released on June 28th, 2011 alongside with the Treasure Hunt game mode as a celebration to EA's own racing team becoming the 2011 champions of the Dubai 24-hour race.

The car features street-tuned performance parts, 2-star Skill Mods as well as an unique racing livery. The car also features an unique Andy Blackmore license plate, who was the designer of the "Team Need for Speed" livery.

Easter Edition
The "Easter" edition of the BMW Z4 GT3 was released on April 3rd, 2012, and comes pre-equipped with race-tuned performance parts. The car also features an easter-themed car livery and Aftermarket Parts and 2-star Skill Mods.

Overall Performance
The BMW Z4 GT3 has a stock top speed of 309 km/h (192 mph) which is a bit higher than an average Class A. The acceleration is good for its class, but the gears aren't too powerful, but obviously more than above average. The handling is very good; it is very responsive and grippy, but it can feel stiff and it is prone to understeer if pushed to its limits of its grip. The nitrous output of the Z4 GT3 is average at best.

In Team Escapes and Pursuit Outruns the Z4 GT3 can perform very well. Despite the Z4 GT3 being a race car, it is actually very heavy, meaning it can ram through roadblocks without much trouble. Its handling should also be useful to dodge rhinos. Since the acceleration is good, it can accelerate back to a steady pace quickly if stopped by a roadblock or stopped by a rhino and it could potentially outrun police interceptors.
