On the latest episode of "The Blueprint," JAY Z's Life + Times travels to Germany for the unveiling of the 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupe at the legendary 24 Hour Nurburgring race. Shaped by BMW's rich legacy at the exacting racetrack--the German automaker has won 19 of the 41 races and the Ring also serves as its test site--the new 4-door M6 Gran Coupe is an unprecedented blend of the high performance M line and the luxury stylings of the brand's 6 series. Here, the design and engineering teams in Germany both dissect the collaboration and philosophy behind BMW's latest triumph.

Pretty cool video. But hmmm. I think they are stuck on their "philosophy" whether or not its allowed to be done or not.

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

It's amazing how much racing technology BMW put into ///M cars.

What a great video, really makes you appreciate the car a little more. Love hearing engineers and designers talk about a car too, their passion for them really is amazing.

InTheNightKitchen · 10-08-2013, 05:34 PM

YES IT IS AMAZING! I always think about the process of design to production, and how the car becomes almost a living thing when running.

I'd love one in San-Marino Blue or Black
