German tuner a-workx showcases their own version of the limited BMW M3 GTS model. Dubbed M3 460cs (Club Sport), the a-workx M3 is a track racing machine with road-legal specifications.
The tuner offers a power kit for E92 M3 that takes the output to 454 horsepower / 338 kW and 339 lb-ft of torque (460Nm), a significant upgrade over the 420 PS (309 kW / 414 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) found in the “standard” M3.
To enhance its acoustics, a lightweight Akrapovic Evolution titanium exhaust system is part of the kit too. Furthermore, a limited-slip differential from Drexler comes with the package.
For those with extra money to spend, a 600 PS (441 kW / 592 hp) supercharger option is also available.
A KW suspension kit is fitted to the M3 460cs which also sits on 19-inch ATS Super Light rims with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
To cope with the power, the tuner added a MOV ‘IT CER ceramic brake system which alone costs €19,235. A much cheaper steel brake alternative is also available.
The M3 460cs runs from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds compared to the 4.8 seconds of the standard M3. 200 km/h is reached in 13.2 seconds, down 2.5 seconds from series.
The price for the package that brings the M3 to a somewhat GTS-replica is €52,229.
