Earlier this week, we attended the US media launch for the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe [official thread]. The M6 Gran Coupe features the same 560hp / 500 kb-ft powerplant as the M5 and M6 Coupe/Convertible and covers 0-60mph in 4.1 seconds. It starts in the U.S. at a base price of $113,000 for the 2014 model year [full pricing details].

The event was held in Austin, TX at the impressive Circuit of the America (COTA) Formula 1 race track. We'll be sharing our thoughts on the M6 Gran Coupe soon, but for now, have a gander at the various sights from Austin. Below, you'll see photos of the fleet of M6 Gran Coupes on hand for both track and road evaluation. Until now, BMW has only publicly displayed the M6 Gran Coupe in Frozen Silver (at the Auto Shows), but we now get a look at many of the factory colors available, including several Individual colors.

There are also photos from the reception at the W Hotel in downtown Austin, where a pristine M1 was on display together with a Frozen Silver M6 Gran Coupe. The M1 is owned by Mike Ura, who runs the BMW M1 Register and makes sure his M1 is not just a garage queen (even though it's conditioned like one) by driving and tracking it regularly.

Finally, there's a video of several M6 Gran Coupes taking us on a tour around the Circuit of the Americas track, as well as a demo preview video we shot of the upcoming BMW M Power App.
