Photo and Video – GC Automobile BMW 1M

Global Concept Automobile showcases their own version of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe. The professional French racing team builds and races silhouette race cars. The 1M is their newest project and they dub it the GC10-V8.

With a new aggressive body kit with composite wide fender flares, the car still meets the tough FIA standards. The 1M’s inline-six turbocharged N54 engine was replaced with a Chevy V8 unit tuned by Sodemo Development delivering 550 horsepower. A number of cooling solutions were also included plus frontal and side crash box in both doors and 18″ wheels with suspension handled by a 3-way OHLINS system.
