Interesting. That means they're positioning the M6 to compete both in racing AND on the sales front with ferraris, porkchops, and bently coupes.

Pricing will likely be in the 120K-150K range then.
Since I hear PTG is not really happy in Speed WC (and that the feeling is mutual - they don't necessarily want them there) - it would be interesting to see PTG use the 6 series to see if they could put a competitive car against the Jaguar XKRs in Trans Am. If PTG leaves Speed WC, they'll run something somewhere. ALMS is probably the most logical choice, but I think PTG likes to win and they're not in the business of fielding cars to go out and do laps for the heck of it. I'm sure they'd look at all their options to see where they could run up front.
