Close on the heels of the Geneva show world introduction of the M6 (AW, March 14), BMW engineers are already well into testing of a drop-top version of the performance coupe. Powered by a 5.0-liter 507-hp V10, the M6 convertible, shown here with body-colored camouflage panels on front and rear valances, should still be capable of 0-to-60-mph runs in less than five seconds, despite the added weight of a convertible top apparatus in place of the M6 coupe’s carbon fiber roof.

Seven-speed sequential manual transmission, speed-sensing variable locking differential, M-tuned two-mode steering, and modified stability control allowing more power oversteer complete the mechanical package. The M6 coupe goes on sale in the United States in mid-2006, most likely as an ’07 model, followed by the M6 convertible.
