The M6 Gran Coupe opened the Nurburgring testing season in March and we've now caught it on video, giving you a good idea how just how well it tackles the track. That such a large car can perform like this on a challenging track is an impressive sight.

As the M6 Gran Coupe will utilize the same S63Tu engine as the F10 M5 (although the M6 Gran Coupe may be introduced with a slightly uprated power figure from the M5's 560hp), it's seen testing with and benchmarked against several M5s in the video, including the M5 Ring Taxis.

The M6 Gran Coupe will feature the same front and rear design as the M6 Coupe and Convertible and will have a similar carbon roof to the one on the M6 coupe. We've posted some of our recent renders and previous spy photos below as a preview of how the M6 Gran Coupe will look.

The M6 Gran Coupe's price will start well north of $100,000. BMW NA recently announced the pricing for the M6 coupe and convertible at $106,995 and $113,995. As the flagship M and M6 model, the Gran Coupe's price is certain to be priced higher than that.

We believe the M6 Gran Coupe should be revealed sometime in the second half of this year and possibly premiered at the 2012 Paris auto show in September or the 2013 Detroit NAIAS in January.
